There is a couple here on CC that posted they take nudist, swinger, and LGBT cruises. NO KIDS.

 

And you do not have to participate in the other activities.

There is a big difference between Nudists and Swingers. 

The last royal cruise we were on we got the speech from the waiter the assistant waiter and the head waiter. It is annoying. If they want 5s on everything they need to earn them not beg for them

I would fly to St. Maartens! We love it there.

Could you use an app like GroupMe ?

The app GroupMe would work

Great Review thanks for taking the time to share this with all of us

She was a real Ocean Liner. Designed for transatlantic travel not just island hopping the Caribbean.

I just got off the Liberty of the Seas. You are going to love it. Its an Amazing Ship!

Terrorism has hurt the cruise industry and forced lower prices to keep the ships full inadvertantly making cruising available to many who could not have afforded it before. To sustain the lower prices quality (perks) has been sacrificed for quantity (bodies). Cruises are now sold at wholesale prices using the strategy that most passengers will drink, gamble, massage, buy shore excursions, etc. to make up the "retail" price of the cruise. The quality we had, and much more, that are not now avaliable on the mass market lines are still available on Seabourn, Radisson, Crystal - if you have the money.

I dont know if I agree with you on the "terrorism has hurt the industry" but I do agree with everything else you wrote...

Wow some funny stories!

I cant believe I read all 27 pages!

My wife and I were on the Celebrity Zenith. We had an outside room with a large window. The Zenith doesn't have balcony rooms. We were docked in Bermuda. Our window was facing out away from the land so we had a great view of the water. We had the Curtains wide open when all of a sudden a Ferry went past our window as we were standing there in all our naked glory. The People on the top of the Ferry were at the same height as our window looking right in at us! They were so close I could see there Eyes getting wider when they realized what they were seeing. My wife and I still laugh about it to this day...

Great thread alot of really funny stories!

What a great idea! I have to dig up a picture of us from our last formal night and add it!

No problem just walk further... when the people thin out your good to go.

I really enjoyed reading about your adventures! I hope my Wife and I can take a cruise like this one someday. I cant imagine what your tip$ must have been after 100 plus days on board. I cant stand to see my bill after a 7 day I cant imagine what it would look like after a 100 day cruise. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us.

I almost fell off my chair when I saw this topic.

The SS Britanis was my very first cruise. I went from NY to Bermuda back in the 80s. I was such a great trip. I can still remember the staff and how friendly everyone was. The ships sure have changed alot since then. I have to dig out my old photo albums. I remember snapping tons of pictures that trip.
