Finding a cabin mate can be a great way to make a new friend, save money and share experiences.... but we just need to give you a little advice first, to be on the safe side.... 
1. When it comes to giving details to someone on the forum, make sure you use PRIVATE messaging and, at first, be "general". When asked where you live, don't give out your address and postcode! Only give specific details when you feel comfortable with the person and they are RETURNING specific details about THEMSELVES too.
2. Be honest about what kind of cruiser you are. The wrong pairing could be a disaster. For example, a sun worshipper who wants to sit out on deck all day, may not get on with someone who wants to get out and about to visiting historic ruins and local culture.
3. When you've learned a bit more about them, and you feel it's the right time, speak to them on the phone to get to know them a bit better.
4. Then, if you'd like to see them in person, make sure you meet in a public place, or take a friend or family member with you. This way you don't have to worry about an uneasy or sticky situation.
5. Finally, just be sensible and use your common sense. Only YOU can decide whether you are making the right decisions before you act. Follow your instincts and find out about your prospective cabin mate BEFORE you book a cruise together.
