So, You’ve booked a Couples Cruise? What Now? New to cruising, new to a Couples Cruise, or been there done that? Either way, there are always new or better ideas that you can learn from others. I’ll start by telling you a little about me. Hubby and I have been in the lifestyle for over 15 years, we thought we’d “been there, done that!” But, we’d never been on a single lifestyle vacation until the Freedom 2012! Let me just say, it was an eye opener. We absolutely loved every second on the ship! There was so much that we didn’t know though. So many things we wish we’d known before getting on the ship! I’m hoping to fill you in on the little secrets of a Couples Cruise! First, and most importantly, relax and have fun! If you’ve never cruised before, a few quick tips – pack less than you think you need! Board early, enjoy lunch on the ship. You can usually board around 11am, although you can’t get into your room till at least 1pm. Pack a carry on with sun block, sunglasses and a swimsuit, no nudity allowed till you pull out of port! Once you’re on board, quit worrying about your luggage! It will make it to your room, but maybe not till 6pm or so, although usually it shows up around 2pm. Go pick a spot on the pool deck, order a drink and soak up some sun while you enjoy the start of an awesome vacation! Don’t forget to smile and talk to people. Everyone on a Couples Cruise is friendly! You will never meet a better bunch of ice breakers! If you’ve cruised before, you’re ahead of the curve! However, if you’ve not been on a Couples Cruise, you have some learning to do! It will be the best F’ing vacation you’ve ever been on and a “Vanilla Cruise” will never be the same again! You will be forever changed and comparing the fun on any cruise to the fun to be had on a Couples Cruise! No matter, how long you’ve been in the lifestyle, you may even be overwhelmed! I know hubby and I were! Not in the lifestyle? That’s OK too. In fact, it makes a Couples Cruise great when you see the incredible variety of people all over the ship. There are lots of lifestyle couples, both new to it and those that have “been there, done that.” There are also lots of couples that are voyeurs, nudists, thinking about it and amazingly enough those that booked the cruise because it is adults only and no ! Been on a Couples Cruise before? That’s awesome! You know your way around these things! You’ve done this once or twice…or more! Meeting up with old friends? Contact them before you get on the ship! Make plans to meet on the pool deck at noon, or in the dining hall for lunch! Trust me, there’s no time better to connect with old friends! But, remember there are so many other couples on this ship to meet – don’t be afraid to make new friends! Before you get on the ship, there are a few need to know tips that will just make things easier. * Driving to the port? Remember, there are cheaper places to park off site. Look on the internet and pay for parking ahead of time. Just make sure the lot is secure and they provide transportation to the port. Remember to have several small bills in your wallet! Tip your porters! And, if you want your luggage to your room quicker, tip your room porter in the hall outside your room! For $10 or $20 bucks, they will gladly go down and find every single bag you brought with you! * Get couples cards made! These are like a business card for couples. You can put as much or as little info on it as you want, but they are great to pass out to people you’d like to meet up with on the ship! Vistaprint is a great site to get them made. Pick a photo of both of you, put your screen name on it, add your email address, even your names! A quick tip, don’t have your actual room number printed on it; instead, write it in yourself. Remember, you order like 250 of these things for $15, you can use them elsewhere (hotel parties, clubs, other lifestyle vacations). * Take things to decorate your door! Be creative! There are great peelable white boards out there that come in rolls – make great places for people to leave messages! Take dry erase markers to put with it if you do this though. The doors are not magnetic, but the door frames are! I’ve even seen people take battery operated lights to hang on their door. Take tape, small scissors, magnets, etc. * If you’re a swinger, you’ll want to take sex wipes, condoms and a small zipper pouch to keep essentials in while walking around the ship. You don’t want anything too big, you do have to carry this stuff around and who wants to be burdened with a huge bag? Oh, men---you can’t go fully dressed into the play room, so remember to bring great boxers (they can be a great conversation starter), pajama bottoms or a robe! So, you’ve learned a few things to expect when you get on the ship…now, you need to know tips to make your time on the ship a little better! Remember, I said relax and have fun and you might be overwhelmed! These ships are huge; there are a lot of couples on these ships. If you see a couple you’d like to connect with, get a room number or exchange cards…you may never see them again! You can also call their room, for free room to room, and leave a message. My motto is “don’t be shy, say hi!” Carpe Diem! Seize the Day! You won’t regret it! The best places to hang out and have fun are the bars! They are all over the ship and there’s entertainment everywhere! Check out your cruise compass to keep up to date on where different things are happening! The piano bar is great – my personal favorite! But all of the bars are incredible and full of fun and parties! Also, keep an eye out for the on board parties…the pool party was phenomenal! You’ll never find a better party than one on board a Couples Cruise! After all, what’s better than over a 1,000 scantily clad people dancing, grinding and flirting to great music? If you’ve never been in a group room, or even if you have, they can be a bit overwhelming. Don’t let it intimidate you. Even if group rooms aren’t your cup of tea, walk through at least once while you’re on the ship! It is a site to see and never forget! And if you enjoy group rooms, you definitely won’t be disappointed! Well, hope you’ve enjoyed my first blog! I hope to give you great information and insight. Have questions? Ask, I’ll blog about it. My next installment will be coming soon, keep watching! lifestyletrips  |
