Kink Crash Course

Five days in the sizzling world of Bliss is like a crash course in sexual exploration. It’s like 1-2 years in swinger land. We plunged headfirst into swinging, discovering tantalizing new desires and firm boundaries. Each day brought steamy surprises and unforgettable encounters, revealing more about ourselves than we ever imagined.

Midnight Snack Hunt: Where’s the 3am Munchies?!

The buffet spreads during the day were a foodie’s dream, offering endless options to fuel our adventures. But come nightfall, those options dwindled faster than you could say “midnight snack.” Where’s the 3am swinger all-you-can-eat buffet?

Napping Over Nookie

Despite the sultry atmosphere, it seemed there was more napping than f&#king. Those blissful naps were essential to recharge and keep the energy high for nightly debauchery. Who knew napping could be such an integral part of a wild cruise? Zzzzzzzzzz

Meet the Friendliest Tribe

The camaraderie on board was infectious! Everyone, from seasoned swingers to curious baby swingers, was eager to connect. We quickly discovered that the real magic of Bliss Cruise was in the friendships formed and the shared secret stories of adventure and pleasure.

Score Big at Secret Watering Holes

While the dance clubs and playrooms were thrilling, the quieter spots outside these main areas turned out to be gold mines for making meaningful connections. These “watering holes” became our favorite places to flirt, chat, and seal the deal without the pressure of the larger crowd. 

Newbie Heaven: First-Timers Everywhere

We were amazed at how many first-timers were on board, just like us! The excitement and curiosity were palpable, creating an electric atmosphere where everyone was ready to explore and dive into new experiences. It was a testament to the welcoming and inclusive spirit of the Bliss Cruise community.

Rookie Moves: Navigating the Nerves

Despite the open-minded setting, fear of rejection was still a common theme. But Leo dishes up a handy script to help shoot our shot with confidence and grace and minimal rejection. With his tips, you too can approach potential playmates with a gentle touch, making connections without the sting of awkward refusals.

Deck Stalking 101: Say Hi, Swipe Swag, Leave Your Slut Cards

Strolling the decks and greeting everyone became our favorite pastime. Each door held the promise of new friends and playful exchanges. Collecting swag goodies and slut cards was like a naughty treasure hunt, and leaving our own tokens behind added to the fun.

Tinder for Couples!?! WTF?!

Forget the wild orgy stereotype – Bliss felt more like a sophisticated, floating Tinder for couples. WTF?! It was all about finding the right match, building connections, and enjoying mutual chemistry. The thrill of the hunt and the joy of discovery made each encounter special.

Shhh! F&#K Club Rule #1: Don’t Talk About It!

Discretion was the unspoken rule of the F&#K club. Everyone understood the importance of keeping the intrigue alive by not spilling secrets. This unspoken bond added an extra layer of excitement and exclusivity to the experience, making every encounter feel like a deliciously shared secret.


From the steamy playrooms to the friendly faces and unexpected revelations, our first Bliss Cruise was nothing short of extraordinary. Each day was a whirlwind of adventure, connection, and pleasure, leaving us eager for more. Stay tuned for more insights and secrets as we continue to explore the world of swinging and beyond.
