Hello to all the cruise lovers.
As a regular forum reader I see a lot of people posting about a month before they go on a cruise, looking to see if there is any other swingers going on their particular boat & if they would like to catch up. That list includes us.
The typical answer is, we are going on such n such a boat the week after the week before the next month or any number of boats bar the one you are on & they all want to know if anyone else will be on their boat.
So we were wondering what peoples thoughts were for a semi organised group booking for a cruise.
What we were thinking was a nine to eleven day cruise around October 2017 more than likely around the south pacific Islands.
Why so far away.
A lot of people already have cruises booked for next year, some people like us need to apply for leave twelve months in advance to be assured of getting the time off & some people might like that much time to save up for it or pay it off.
If there are members that want to go earlier they could organise it & use the same process.
How it will work.
Step 1.
After much discussion a destination a date & a boat will be agreed on.
2.
Group chooses a travel agent so we can group book the cruise.
3.
You supply us with your details & we forward them to the travel agent or you can do that yourself, but please let them know you are with our group & then let us know you have booked as part of our group.
You will need to select the room that you want to stay in, I don’t think there is a need for us all to be in the one area but if you want to that is up to you.
It is also up to you to organise the payment of the deposit & final payments, we will have nothing to do with handling money.
4.
We will start a closed Face book group that you can join once you have paid your deposit so everyone can chat & get to know their cruise buddies.
5.
Once you have made your final payment we will organise something like a special coloured lanyard or badge to send to you so we can find people who are in our group on the boat.
There will be a meet & greet on the top deck on either the first or second day so we can all get together for a chat and get to know each other in the real world.
6.
Have a great time.
ONE THING YOU MUST REMEMBER. There is NO GUARRANTEE that there will be people in the group that want to play with you or that you will want to play with. Nobody is under any obligation to play with anyone.
If you are interested you can reply here or contact us Empty_Nest_Cpl or Lookin4
that's a great idea, we re a couple on gold coast, usually looking for guys to join wife we re frequent cruises, do prefer royal cribbean
anything as long as its not P&O after the debarcle we are having with them at the moment.
Just a small bump to get it back on the main page.
Sounds like a great idea! I'm definitely interested. At the moment I'm not sure if i can handle booking a holiday so far in advance though lol. If there's a group keen for next year, i'd be down, otherwise i might join in on the 2017 early next year if possible?
It is a fair way of thickauscock but a couple of us already had our holidays booked for 2016 so had to put long term plans in place.
yeah i read that Empty Nesters, and its fully understandable! I was just wanting to show an interest and put my name out there if there happen to be other members that will also be keen to organise one for 2016 smile Hopefully there'll be a lot more that show interest for either year because you've made a good start on getting the ball rolling!
A quick bump. We are waiting for all the cruise companies to get their full itineraries up for 2017 then we will start to look seriously at when & where we will go.
What a top idea.... I just recently advertised that I was going on a cruise and got zero response. Good work
we'll be there  :-)
We have had a few people show some interest in this trip in this thread, in messages & the Swingers Heaven Cruise Club forums, but no where near what we were hoping for, it is still early so hoping for more at a latter stage. We will be catching up with lookin4 over the Christmas break & will have a serious look at dates & destinations, then post here what we think might be the best boats, dates & places. Empties
bump it up again

Has potential, we've been looking at cruises. Have you had much interest? where are you at with it?

Royal Caribbean have some good deals on ATM .

One leaving January  13 2017 to Fuji for 12nights

Thank chestlover, Will have a look but we are looking at a date later in the year.

Has potential, we've been looking at cruises. Have you had much interest? where are you at with it?

We have had a few couples show intrest & some singles as well. We have yet to decide on the boat or destination. We will be meeting up with looking4 over the Easter break & make a descision then.

The thing wil be getting a time where most people are available together, we are thinking the later part of the year, Sept/Oct perhaps ( a great time to sail) and also gives us longer to pay it off. We will be looking at cruises that suit our times around Easter time and will go from there. I agree with Chestlover, RC do have some good deals too, as do other cruiselines. It depends too on how long people want to go for and what will suit different budgets. Anyway more food for thought and great to see others commenting now too. 

Gaz and Ellie

We're keen, depending on dates and sitter availability

Hi Swingers.    Sun Princess Cruise Reference Number S723

A few of us have booked ourselves cabins on the Sun Princess our of Brisbane in 2017 a 7 might cruise in the Pacific Ocean.

There is no Emphasis on "swinging" but if there happens to be a click between individuals or couples, Happy Days....

We will eventually set up a dedicated Facebook page for those of us who are cruising so we can touch base with an idea of meeting before we cruise, or to swap details and make a time and place to meet once aboard.

leave a message on this page or chat with 

Empty_Nest_Cpl or us the Lookin4's


Cheers 

Gaz & Ellie



is cruising to the south pacific in sept

The countdown is on......anyone can join, just no guarantees of hook ups but certainly meet and mingle with and make new friends along the way.....preferably with benefits.

Ok guya we own a travel agency and would be will to look at putting something together. For this to be worthwhile we would need to get as many of the booking through our agency. We are a cruise specialist and have many years of experience. Empty next if this sounds feasible please drop us a note.

sounds like a good idea

but im a single woman
