Wow, just wow. We have been in the LS for decades but this blew our minds, truly the superbowl of swinging. Thoughts in no particular order as we are decompressing.

• GET THE INTERNET PACKAGE! We met so many sexy couples having a unwanted vanilla trip because they didn't have the internet package and specifically weren't on Telegram. Its not just how many people hookup its also how you coordinate to meet on the spot. Towards the end of the cruise the rando hookup requests on Telegram groups were an amazing frenzy. No one we knew wanted to give out their full real names to use the RC communicator and many good hookups were passed over just because it was too hard to coordinate without Telegram. Don't fight it, just go with it.
• People have to get over the approach anxiety, we met plenty of great couples paralyzed by approach anxiety. Two of the hottest couples we met hardly played at all while practically begging for it. Its as easy as saying "How are you doing?" and a little flirting. (PS don't sit down in deck chairs at the pool, it takes you off the market as too hard to apprach. Stand around the bars and be approachable.)
• Get good slut cards with your Telegram account for quick contact.. your SLS is almost pointless on the ship, thats more of an after cruise way to meet. Onboard you want an instant message "What are you doing right now?" a few mins after they get a chance to confer with their partner in private. I thought cards were stupid, I was very wrong.
• Put your face photos names cards on your door. I thought that was crass and desperate buit in reality its wonderful, adds to the cruise spirit and results in hookups from interested passers by.
• Try and go with a group. Even if you aren't interested in hooking up with your local group we are all there to be social and its nice to have a home base group to decompress with and share info.
• Drink package seemed like a waste. Most of our friends drank less than $300 the entire trip and were buzzed almost all the times it mattered. You would be paralytic before you started to get value from the drink package. This isnt a vanilla cruise, were not there for the alcohol or food.
• Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. You will have to make a store run in Miami.
• The quality of people was great, many pro swinger couples who bought their A game. We read here on Reddit to expect a massive number of nervous newbies and dirty vanillas, we didn't encounter that at all and only met a couple of newbies who were all sweet and lovely. Almost everyone else was DTF. Again possibly experience bias but its worth putting out there.
• Alot of Hallpass couples, which worked well for us as we are hallpass too but had no trouble meeting singles, couples groups it's all there. Perhaps its confirmation bias but also pershaps its something reserved for specific people they click with rather than something they put on a name tag.
• In a similar line tons of couples interested in MFM's , much more than publicly advertised.
• The hottest guys burn out from all the sex as the cruise goes on. If you are even a moderately attractive dude strap in because the women will burn you out. By the end of the cruise any guy who could keep it up was hot property.
• If you have penis size confidence issues this is not the ship for you. There were alot of bigger than average dudes, rock hard, special skills, abs the works. Confidence and personality go a long way but expect to be comfortable around some A league specimens. Remember not every hot girl wants a big cock in fact many are turned on by people with no cock at all.
• Speed dating and meetups were great for making instant friends to say hi, eat with and getting over any social anxiety. You don't have to treat every person as a sexual object, its ok to just be friends. Some people can't hook up even if they wanted to for various reasons (ie burnout or sore bits)
• It is worth networking a bit on Telegram and FaceBook groups beforehand .. to a point. Expect to only run into a fraction of the people you really jive with online. Expect profile photos not to be 100% accurate, chemistry might be on or off. Think of it like speed dating, great for finding similar people and perhaps locals to group with but don't have high expectations of great sexual encounters from online work in comparison to people you will just meet organically onboard.
• Be ok with getting turned down or stood up. This is a big one. You can't take it personally. Its not always about being unattractive, in many cases people turned down others because their cock was out of action or the girl had a UTI from loads of sex right before meeting and don't want to say all that, People might say yes in the moment and then realize that living on viagra for 5 straight days is just too much to handle. Also they might have been on their way to your room and literally grabbed by a super hot couple in a hallway.. it happens, there are a million other reasons other than OMG im unattractive, plemty of fish in the sea and likely they will circle back after a nap or food. We turned down some people because we wanted the experience to be better than what we had to offer at the time and eventually did.

Overall we had the best time of all the events weve been to after decades in the LS. Our minds are truly blown. Met many of the sweetest, kindest, sexiest most fun people weve ever met and had the honor of partying and being intimate with some of them. We've already booked again. With 2025 solidly booked out they need to start running more ships.
