Decorate Your Door – Don’t Be Boring!

Make your cabin door stand out with a touch of sass and style! From cheeky decorations that raise eyebrows to leaving out tempting treats and swag for your fellow cruisers, let your door do the talking and set the tone for your voyage of pleasure.

Take Advantage of Room Service

Yes there’s buffets and main dining rooms. But why leave the comfort of your room when the heat of the moment strikes? Dive into the luxury of unlimited room service for just $8, meaning all you can eat and order for a single service charge. Eggs and bacon? Yes. Times two? Yes. Cheeseburger? Yes. Fries? Yes. Fruit plate? Yes. Orange juice? Yes. Coffee too? Yes. Yes to everything, all at once if you’re feeling hungry after a long night of debauchery. So what are you waiting for? 

Speed Dating Sensation

It’s not just about finding your next play connection – it’s about finding new friends too! Dive headfirst into the thrill of speed dating and discover a world of possibilities and pleasures waiting to be explored. Go once, go twice, but be sure not to miss it! And don’t forget to bring those slut cards!

Don’t Be a Slut, But Do Make Slut Cards

Don’t underestimate the power of the slut card! These handy little business cards are your ticket to networking and making connections that could lead to unforgettable adventures and steamy encounters. Include your first names, maybe face pictures (if you’re not too private), SLS handles, Telegram/Kik/Cell# and connect, connect, connect! Leave them on your door, bring them to speed dating, and hand them out!

If I Tip My Porter $50, Will I Get My Bags Quick?

While it won’t necessarily guarantee you any extra TLC, it’s customary to tip your porter $3-5 per bag. Sure, in your wildest dreams, you might envision receiving white-gloved service fit for royalty. But let’s face it, the reality at the port is far from glamorous. With thousands of bags to handle and multiple cruise vessels in the mix, you’ll be lucky to get anything beyond fingerless-gloved efficiency. So, save yourself the trouble of wasting $20 or $50 and thinking you’re some kind of VIP.

Stay Connected with Wi-Fi and Stay Naughty

Don’t let a little thing like being at sea stop you from staying in touch. Splurge on the WiFi package (all of $35 per day, compared to spending $1200-1800 for drinks!), exchange digits with anyone you’re interested in, and keep the lines of communication open for those late-night rendezvous and impromptu trysts. Better than smoke signals. Better than dry erase boards. KISS: Keep it simple stupid.

Do It Up BIG on Theme Nights!

Dare to dazzle and dress to impress for theme nights onboard – the crazier, the better! Before the playrooms open and the theme parties begin, the promenade is where it’s at and it’s a walking costume party and a way to meet dozens of potential friends and play partners. Let your imagination run wild and unleash your inner exhibitionist for a night of unforgettable fun and frolics.

Go to the Pre-Cruise Hotel Meet & Greet

Ignite the flames of excitement as you kickstart your cruise adventure at the hotel meet & greet! This vibrant event sets the stage for mingling, making new connections, and perhaps discovering a potential playmate or two to add a dash of spice to your voyage. Remember, the more acquaintances you make, the merrier your experience will be! After all, when it comes to fun, the more, the merrier!

Late-Night Lust-Filled Antics 10pm-3am

Plan your night wisely from 10 pm to 3 am – with theme parties and playrooms in full swing, time flies when you’re lost in a whirlwind of pleasure and excitement. With so much to indulge in and so little time, it’s essential to manage your time effectively. Determine your ultimate goal for the night and remember that time management is all about prioritizing and compromise. So buckle up and get ready for a wild ride into the wee hours of the morning. 

Don’t Forget to Pack Your Sexy Wear

Don’t forget your sexiest attire! From tantalizing lingerie to barely-there outfits, make sure your wardrobe is stocked with seduction in mind. While you may spend hours packing themed outfits, remember you’ll likely end up in your skivvies or lingerie for private cabin encounters or playroom play, walking the halls scantily clad. Prioritize seductive undergarments, sheer robes, and hot pajama pants for gents.

Dining Dilemmas Unveiled: Shirt or No Shirt?

Leo finally got his burning question answered… the eternal question of dining room etiquette. Does he need a shirt to eat in the dining room? YES! Does he need a shirt for the buffet? Probably not as after all, rules are made to be broken, especially when it comes to indulging in culinary delights. (He went shirtless anyway!)

How to Carry Your Seapass Card Naked?

Keep your essentials close at hand with lanyards or clips for your Seapass Card. No more fumbling around in your pockets – just easy access to all the onboard delights that await, even when you’re in your birthday suit. Whether you opt for a discreet lanyard or a convenient clip, you’ll never have to worry about misplacing your key to paradise. Check out our links below for options that suit your style and needs.

Say YES and Seal the Deal

When someone shoots their shot, don’t hold back – say yes if you’re interested. Don’t be shy and don’t dilly-dally. Opportunities come and go in the blink of an eye, so grab them by the horns and dive into a world of thrilling experiences without hesitation. Don’t put off tomorrow what you can do RIGHT NOW. So say yes, in the here and now.

Friendship First, F&*# Buddy Second

On the Bliss Cruise, it’s all about the social scene – so get mingling and make loads of friends. Who knows? Perhaps your newfound connections will lead to some steamy playtime adventures down the line. After all, the most memorable escapades often begin with a friendly hello and a shared understanding of the thrill of the journey.

Make Name Bead Necklaces!

Why wait for onboard orders when you can unleash your creativity and DIY your own bead necklace ahead of time? Let your personality shine as you craft a unique accessory that reflects your adventurous spirit and readiness to dive into new experiences. It’s more than just a fashion statement – it’s a bold declaration of your individuality and eagerness to embark on thrilling adventures onboard.

Buy Magnet Hooks and Euro/US Adaptor!

Double your power outlets with a European/US adaptor with this oft-overlooked tip and keep your sexy devices fully charged for all those steamy late-night rendezvous. Buy those cruise magnet hooks for extra storage space in your cabin. For real! Super handy. And buy your own dry erase board!

To Drink (Too Much) or Not to Drink (Too Much)?

Isn’t that the question? Considering the drink package can cost upwards of $1800 on a 7-day cruise, you need to really count your nickels and see if it makes sense for you. Sometimes it’s worth it, sometimes it’s not. Check out the handy Cruise Drinks calculator below and see if it’s worth it for you. (HINT: Not worth it for us!)

Book Early, Bliss Awaits

Don’t wait until the last minute to secure your spot on future cruises. FOMO is real – Bliss is selling out, so why not beat it at its own game and ensure your place in paradise well in advance? Even if you’re not ready today, if you’re booking out 12-18 months, I guarantee you’ll be ready by then!
