FAQ

Why choose our cruises over others?

Well, it’s about numbers really. With over 1.35 million cruising each year in Australia how do we find the like minded people? Well we find them by narrowing down the number of cruises and putting everyone together 😊

Yes, we have cruised on all types from family cruises to full takeovers, and have been running hosted swinger cruises in Australia for 15 years, so we do know a thing or two. 

We have always found going on cruises with a group of people is so much better than hopping on board with your partner and seeing if you meet anyone. 

On vanilla cruises you can spend the time working a couple or single thinking “yes, we have found that elusive like-minded person/couple” only to find out that they are horrified and we have wasted our time.

You can put out feelers on various websites for lifestyle people who might be on the same cruise as you, but that rarely gets much response.

Our cruises give you the time, the people, the location, and the hosts. Because we are now coordinating a massive number of people interested in cruises, when we select a cruise as the one to go on, we get large groups. Large groups gives everyone a great chance to find someone they click with, and almost guarantees someone to party with even if you don’t end up playing.

Then we lift the experience by being on board with you. We make sure everyone in the group gets constant chances to meet and talk to the rest of the group. We help you chat to each other before the cruise, extend the cruise with a dinner beforehand, and help with the whole process.

When you book with us, you’re not just securing a cabin; you’re embarking on a journey filled with like minded people with personalized support that takes away the stress from your voyage. Beyond the standard offerings available to every passenger, our commitment is to ensure your journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

First and foremost, you’ll be welcomed aboard by our dedicated Onboard Hosts, Corina and Bob, knowledgeable and attentive companions throughout your voyage. Whether you seek recommendations, assistance, or simply engaging conversation, Corina is there to help you get the most from your trip from the moment you step foot on deck.

But the VIP treatment doesn’t end there. Prior to setting sail, indulge in our Pre-cruise Meet & Greet, an exclusive gathering where you’ll have the opportunity to mingle with fellow travelers. It’s the perfect way to start forging connections and building anticipation for the adventures ahead. Its like adding an extra night to the cruise.

Adding to the excitement are our Themed Nights, where each evening brings a unique twist to your onboard entertainment. Whether it’s a scarlet night, a tropical night, or a themed pub crawl, these themed events promise unforgettable moments and endless opportunities for fun and celebration.

But the highlight of each day is undoubtedly the Meet and Greet sessions, held nightly exclusively for our guests. It’s your chance to mingle, connect, and forge lasting friendships with fellow travelers. You will go away from the cruise with new friends, not just one off acquaintances.

Our Private Chat Group is available as soon as you book. It lets you chat to fellow cruisers with complete privacy. Once on board, it provides the perfect platform to stay in touch with your newfound friends and keep abreast of onboard activities and announcements. 

In essence, booking with us offers a wealth of opportunities to meet your fellow travellers and personalized touches designed to elevate every aspect of your journey. From the attentive guidance of our Onboard Host to the camaraderie of nightly gatherings and the convenience of our Private Chat Group, every detail is carefully crafted to ensure your voyage is nothing short of extraordinary. So why settle for the standard when you can indulge in the exceptional? Join us on board and let the adventure begin.

Before Covid, it was always a good plan to grab a cruise at the last minute and get a super deal and save heaps. There were even websites that listed last minute deals.

Since Covid, almost every cruise on a nice ship is sold out months before sailing.

(You can still book at the last minute. But only when someone else cancels, and at much higher prices.)

Prices these days generally rise as the ship fills up, meaning that booking early is the best plan.

Booking late is a terrible plan.

As a licensed travel agent, I am required to collect certain personal details to ensure your travel arrangements are accurate and compliant with regulations. 

This information is essential for booking flights, accommodations, cruises, and other travel services in your name. I literally cannot book on the cruise line or airlines website for you without these details.

Please rest assured that your details are handled with the utmost care and are only used for the purpose of your bookings. 

We do not share any details with third parties under any circumstances except where a booking cannot be completed without them.

If you have any concerns or questions about how your information is used, I’m happy to discuss further! 

Yes single women are welcome. 

Single men can be included at our absolute discretion, but the default answer is no.

We had to make this rule thanks to the poor behaviour of a couple of single guys who joined us.

If a couple coming on the cruise or the owner of a club you attend is prepared to vouch for you, that will help your case.

However the pricing for one person in a cabin is not much cheaper than a couple as the cruise lines only have so many cabins. If you think of hotel rooms, they are not cheaper because only one person is staying. 

You are much better off bringing a friend, and paying for their cruise – it will be about the same price.

Absolutely NO!

If you don’t book through Corina we will not include you in the communication, the chat groups, the pre cruise dinner, the dining with the group or any other private activities on board. We put a lot of effort into coordinating our groups, and you just will not be involved.

We don’t charge anything more than the cruise line’s website. If you would like to book yourself and find us on the ship that’s ok, but it will cost you exactly the same without all of the benefits. And yes, when you find that special deal in Saturday morning’s paper, Corina can do exactly the same deal but with our extras.

If you have already booked elsewhere, or have a reason you must book elsewhere, or a free cruise, Corina may add you to the group at her absolute discretion upon payment of a fee.

No – we could potentially pay for an expensive suite to use as a playroom, but that would involve extra costs for everyone. It would also risk the cruise lines refusing our next group booking.

If you meet another couple you want to play with on one of our cruises, you have 2 cabins to head off to, yours or theirs. 

We have had hundreds of people cruise with us, and it has never been an issue after they have experienced it.

We particularly use Celebrity and Royal Caribbean because these cruise lines support the full takeovers and we do not stress them. As long as we remember we are in public when we mix with the other guests then they support us with open arms. This is very important for a smooth experience.

They are also not aimed at quite as much at families and we tend to be able to be in a bar etc without being surrounded by children. Celebrity in particular does not have the facilities to encourage children to come, so is ideal for us.

There are cheaper options out there, but they all tend to have a lot of kids, very restrictive policies on partying, and are just not as nice. This is what you get when someone decides its a great idea to run a cruise and finds a $299 special. In general, if the price is very low, the on board experience matches the price.

We are welcomed by Celebrity and Royal Caribbean, and very few other lines. Having over 100 people on board as a group makes it hard to go unnoticed.

They only have ships based in Brisbane and Sydney.

We sailed regularly from Melbourne when Virgin were there, and would do that again.

Perth is a long way to go, so we would be relying on locals to fill the boat, and there just doesn’t appear to be enough interest to make it viable.

 Yes all food is included. You can eat in the buffet, the main dining room, and each cruise line offers additional free food like burgers and pizza.

They also offer specialty restaurants that are an extra fee, and special restaurants when you book suites.

There is no extra fee you have to pay to us.

We are a travel agency and offer exactly the same price as the cruise line. As travel agents, we are paid by the cruise line.

We put together meet n greets and get togethers and dine together. However you can come and go and join in as little or as much as you like. You are not required to do everything with us, we just offer it. 

If you love trivia see if others go also and go do your own thing. If you love to be up early to use the gym then do so. If you sleep the day away then do so. If you love the hot tub then save us a seat

Yes, Corina is a full service travel agent and can book you on any cruise or trip anywhere in the world. She will guide you through the process and make sure your holiday is amazing.

In fact, booking your other travel with Corina will help us keep running swingers cruises.
