What is AlreadyBooked.com?
It is the #1 site for information on Couples Cruises and
the best place to see who’s coming on the cruises.
Couples can set up a “Passport” which allows them to
select all of the cruises that they have been on as well
as future cruises. Couples can then search by cruise to
see who is going on upcoming cruises and find couples
who were on their previous cruises.
Besides searching for other couples going on our cruises, each couple can post pictures, get valuable information in our forums, post their own blogs and message
other couples on the site.
They can upload photos, add information about themselves and share their location if they so choose. They
can also list which travel agency they booked through.
How much does it cost?
The site is 100% free and only exists to give you more
information about our Couples Cruises. If you have
questions, our forums are the best place to ask them
and we will get back to you shortly.
No site has anywhere near the amount of information
on a Couples Cruise as AlreadyBooked.com. It is the
only “Official” source of information for Couples Cruise
and the forums are all updated directly by our staff.
There are more couples listed for each cruise than ANY
other website!
Cruise Stamps
Each time you book a cruise, you will earn a stamp for
that sailing. These stamps will be placed in your passport so others can easily see which cruises you are
going on and which ones you have already sailed.
If they click on your stamp, it will bring up a list of
couples who are going on that same cruise; a convenient resource that no other site offers.
You can even go back and see who was on past
Couples Cruises with you.
AlreadyBooked.com is THE place to get the most information about the upcoming Couples Cruises and other
adventures by Tess n Bob.
See you on
AlreadyBooked.com!
Welcome Aboard!
We are so excited to be sailing on the MSC Divina. It is a
beautiful ship with high end finishes and is the cleanest
ship on which we have ever sailed. The ship is simply
“Divine”!
We fell in love with their Swarovski Crystal staircases, the
opulent theater and spectacular shows. The butler service
in the Yacht Club is the best service we have ever experienced at sea and the pizza is not only the best on any
cruise ship, but better than most places where we have
eaten pizza outside of Italy.
Fast fact: They import their yeast from Italy to make sure
the pizza is as authentic as possible.
There is a true “Italian flair” to the ship and her crew. You
will find a real gem as the week progresses and you get to
know the ship and the crew.
Do us a favor and take good care of their staff as they will
be working overtime for us this week, working
more hours and more shifts than usual because of
our open seating dining policy and our extended
bar hours.
A smile and a “thank you” go a long way but
dollars are the best way to show your appreciation, so please carry some tip money and the
crew will never forget us (trust me on this one).
Thanks for booking a Couples Cruise. Say
“Hi!” to us if you see us around and have fun!
Your Hosts,
Bob & Tess

Couples Cruise 2016 Guidelines
Please help us ensure everyone has the best possible time by abiding by all of our (and MSC’s) conduct rules and by
looking out for fellow Couples Cruise attendees. Your actions represent our event and will go a long way toward our
acceptance in this community.
The Divina’s security staff is very tolerant but we do not need to test their tolerance. Keep your parties private and
behind closed doors. Please dress properly while walking around the ship.
The ship reserves the right to put passengers off the ship, at any port, who will not follow their rules of conduct. If this
happens, you will not get a refund and you will have to make your own way home from the port. Plus, you will look
really silly and your friends will laugh at you as we sail away.
Please read and adhere to the following Guidelines:
1. Respect: "No means No!" Anyone that doesn't understand this or is making unwanted advances could be
subject to expulsion from the ship at the next port,
without a refund.
2. Nudity Rules: Nudity is only allowed on the pool
deck (14), Sun deck (15), Yacht Club pool (deck 18) and
all hallways leading to your cabin. Topless is permitted in
the Galaxy Disco. Please note that you cannot go nude in
any elevator. You must be covered. No nudity is allowed
in the restaurants, casino, shops, lounges, or other public
place not mentioned above. Please sit on a towel at all
times if nude; it is just common courtesy. In going to the
massage/tantra area (the Black & White Lounge), please
wear a robe or cover up.
3. Sexual Activity Rules: Feel free to get to know one
another on the dance floor, exchange e-mails, or meet
afterwards in your cabin, but no sexual activity is permitted in the dances, pool deck, lobby or any public place.
There is a time and a place for everything: sexual activity can only take place in your private cabins or in a designated private hospitality area.
Under no circumstances can you approach any of the
shipboard staff for any sexual reason. They are not permitted in your cabin or they will lose their jobs. This rule
is extremely important and we know that you would not
want to be escorted off the ship at the next port.
Naturally, there would be no refund.
4. No Drugs: This is simple- "Just Say No." Anyone
breaking this rule will be banned from any of our future
events and cruises forever, again; no refund. Do not buy
drugs in ports: You will be arrested.
2
5. Camera Policy: Taking photos of other passengers without permission is not allowed. If you are seen taking photos
of groups of people without their permission, your camera
can be taken by staff to be reviewed. Inappropriate photos
will be deleted at the discretion of the staff supervisor. Any
photos taken on board the ship are for personal use only.
Photos, or videos from this charter cruise cannot be
published, printed, made public on the internet, YouTube or
used for any other purpose without written approval from
Couples Cruise.
6. You Must Listen to the Ship’s Security & our Couple
Cruise Staff: If someone says you are acting or dressed inappropriately, you probably are. Please respect the ship’s security. They are here to protect you and our attendees. Anyone
not adhering to our or the ship’s conduct policies can be put
off the ship at the next port.
7. Intoxication: If you become intoxicated and disruptive,
you will be escorted to your cabin.
8. Prostituting: Passengers are not permitted to pay nor
accept payment to engage in any form of entertainment or
sexual activity.
9. Protect Yourselves: It is your responsibility to act responsibly when it comes to personal protection.
10. Smoking: Smoking is permitted only in designated areas
of the ship. Smoking is NOT permitted in any cabin or balcony. Please note that the ship will impose a fine of $250.00
for smoking in your cabin.
11. Have Fun: It's a rule, and it's enforced!
Welcome Aboard the Couples Cruise
Getting into your Cabin
The cabins won’t be available until after 1 pm. If you get
on board before then, head to the buffet on Deck 14 and
have lunch or go to the pool and relax or grab a drink at
one of the many bars onboard.
Someone thought that not being able to get into your
cabins until 1 pm was a Couples Cruise rule, but this is
standard procedure on all MSC Cruises and pretty much
all cruise ships. The cabin attendants need time to get all
of the cabins cleaned and ready for us.
The passengers from the last cruise typically do not finish
leaving the ship until around 10:00 am on the day we sail,
so that is an amazing amount of cabins to clean in such a
short time. So don’t be in a rush, relax and enjoy exploring the ship until after 1 pm.
Safety at Sea
The main reason we have had to kick people off of our
cruises (and there have been a few) is because of drugs.
People have complained about their neighbors smoking pot
on their balconies, drugs have been seen by MSC Cruise
staff in the open in couple’s staterooms and even angry or
jealous partners or friends have turned people in and we
have had to put them off the ship while in port.
You don’t want to be put off the ship in a foreign port.
Especially, if you are to be turned over to that country’s
local law enforcement for possession of a controlled
substance.
We have even had a couple buy drugs from an undercover
officer in a port sting operation. We haven’t been in an St
Maarten or Puerto Rician jail, but we know that we never
want to find out what they are like.
Welcome Aboard / Sail Away Party
One very important issue for Couples Cruise and MSC is
Safety at Sea. If you do get the drink package, please
enjoy the unlimited drinks, but don’t get carried away, or
we might have to literally carry you away.
Don’t miss our Sail Away Party at 6 pm on the Main Pool
Deck (Deck 14). It is a great chance to grab a drink, meet
your fellow cruisers & get started on your cruise.
Be a Good Partner/Friend
Booking your next Couples Cruise
The bartenders go through training and will cut off people
who are too intoxicated to serve. They can also shut off
your key so you can’t get any drinks at any other bars.
If your partner or a friend is getting too intoxicated, help
them out and get them something to eat, some water or
simply ask them to take it easy for a little while. If they
are past this point, help them back to their cabin so they
can sleep it off.
If you see someone who needs help, but you don’t know
them, alert someone on the Couples Cruise staff or call
from any house phone and ask for security, we are happy
to help them back to their staterooms and it might be time
to cut them off from the bars for a while.
Getting wasted will not enhance your cruise experience
and will certainly diminish your ability to have a fun,
sexy time on a Couples Cruise.
Drugs
We hate to have to bring this up. It’s already mentioned
on our rules form, but we want to bring it up again.
Couples Cruise and MSC Cruises has a “Zero Tolerance”
rule for all illegal drugs.
Don’t forget, you have to keep your swimsuits on until the
Captain says it’s O.K. to drop your tops. We usually need to
get out away from the port before we can get permission to
enjoy our clothing optional cruise.
Stop by the Couples Cruise office on Deck 6 (in the Silver
Lounge) and sign up for your next cruise. Our staff can
answer any questions and help you pick out the best
available cabins.
If you want to book with your own travel agent, just tell us
who they are (or we can look them up) and they will get
credit.
You can put down a deposit and hold your cabin or see what
upgrades are available if you are already booked. The office
will be open (look for the loyalty desk) from 9:00 am till
6:00 pm on sea most days.
When we are in port our Help Desk will be open from 5:00
until 7:00 pm.
We get REALLY busy on the last day, so stop by early and
you will not only avoid the lines, you will find the best
availability.

Couples Cruise Nudity Rules
Nudity Rules Onboard
Our number one question is “When and where can we get
naked?” Here is a complete list of where exactly you can
be naked, topless or must be fully clothed.
Make sure to leave your clothes on until after we have left
the port and the Captain has announced it is OK to do so.
The Captain has the final authority.

You can let it all hang out in these areas, but there are no
sexual activities allowed in any public areas.

When we are given the green light, we will make an

staff and they will check to see if it has been cleared.
Couples Cruise “Sexy Store”
On our charters, we always bring on some
great vendors that carry lots of great toys,
sexy outfits for our theme parties, lubes
and condoms and so much more. We call
it our “Sexy Store”.
Normally, these vendors are located in the
main ship’s store, mixed in with the ship’s
normal merchandise. On this ship, we
have created our very own store that will
only have adult products and toys.
This way, it is easier for you to try on
things without having to be in front of the
ship’s staff.
One BIG change is that you will not be
able to charge things on your stateroom
key. They will only be able to accept cash
or credit/debit cards.
So put some cash or a credit card in your
There will be lots of great adult products
from Fairvilla in our “Sexy Store”.

We will have a couple of Meet & Greets

jute rope, perfect for all of your bondage
needs.
Organic Loven has the best organic lube,
massage oils, condoms and other natural
products. They also feature Liberator

toy distributers in the world. They just
won “Online Retailer of the Year” at the
XBIZ awards in Hollywood.
Adam & Eve has a custom corset division that is very popular on our cruises.
Getting the measurements right makes
all the difference in a truly stunning
corset. Get your custom fitting today.

NAUGHTY IN N’AWLINS
Best Tantra Center Anywhere
If you like the Tantra Center on board the Couples Cruise,
then you’ll love the area we have set up at Naughty in
N’awlins. Instead of just using hotel rooms, we transform
an entire floor into a beautiful and sensual Tantra Temple
for you to enjoy.

A New Ship, A New Opportunity to Enjoy
As we mentioned in the Welcome Aboard section, we
have a new ship and a new cruise line, so this will
surely be a new experience for us all.
If you are new to Couples Cruise, or cruising in general, then this will be a great 1st time experience.
Whether you have been on “regular” cruises or other
Couples Cruises, you will appreciate many of the
changes that we have made and the policies that MSC
has in place.
While many celebrate differences, some people get
hung up on them. There are many things we loved
about RCCL and Celebrity cruise lines and there are
many things we love about MSC. Every cruise is different and it is really your attitude towards change that
will determine your cruise’s success.
It would be great if we could take all of the best things
from all 14 ships we have chartered and put them all
into one cruise, but of course, that is not possible.
Instead, we enjoy the best qualities on board and have
fond memories of past qualities from past ships.
Remember, no matter what the obstacle is in front of
you, there is more than one way to handle them. You
can get aggravated or decide to relax and approach this
week in a different manner.
This is YOUR week to cruise in a very unique way
that only a very small amount of cruisers ever get to
experience. Enjoy yourselves. Don’t get aggravated
over small things. Relish in the unexpected and the
unknown.
Expand your boundaries, communicate with your partner, try new things, take a class and forget about stress
and those poor people back on land that are at work,
cooking dinner, mowing their lawns and shoveling
snow.
This week you will be enjoying life the way you
deserve. The more you focus on living life, the less
you will be concerned about any differences or hiccups.
Enjoy your life, you only have one of them and trust
us, life is too short...
Our point is that you really control your vacation outcome. You could go to the main dining room and get
aggravated when a line forms or you could look at it as
an opportunity to talk to others in line and enjoy the
time waiting for a table by making new friends.
You could head to a Bar or a Meet & Greet instead of
waiting in line and skip the line all together.

Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
Couples Cruise
Tips, Hints & Info
If you don’t do anything else, take a couple of minutes
and read the next couple of pages to learn more about
what is in store for you on this Couples Cruise.
This isn’t your “normal” cruise, so if you’ve cruised
before, you need to know about our special rules and
events. If you haven’t cruised before, then it is even more
important to read.
The Onboard Waste System
One of the most important things that you have to understand is that the bathrooms are very sensitive to what is
put into the toilets. This is a vacuum system, kinda like
on an airplane, and it gets clogged very easily.
The ONLY things that can be put into the toilets are the
ship’s toilet paper and human waste. Do not flush any
condoms, wet wipes, tampons or other feminine items or
it will clog your toilet. Not only will it clog your toilet,
but it will clog everyone downstream from you as well.
The ship’s toilet paper is very thin; it is a special material
that completely dissolves in water and is made especially
for vacuum systems like this. We had a couple of bad
clogs on our last Couples Cruise and it was mainly
because of baby (wet) wipes. These wipes do not break
down (yes, even the flushable ones) and flushing them
will clog the system.
There are waste baskets in every bathroom with a plastic
bag that will be emptied out a couple of times a day, so
you won’t have to flush any of the prohibited items.
Please use them!
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s move on
to more pleasant topics.
Help Desk
If you want to book a future Couples Cruise or you have
a question, just stop by our Couples Cruise Help Desk
located on Deck 6 in the Silver Lounge. It will be open
sea days from 9 am - 6 pm.
If you have a question that pertains to the ship, go to
Guest Services on Deck 5; our Help Desk is just for
Couples Cruise questions.

You’re on Vacation: Act like it!
You are never going to see these people again (well, maybe
some of them), so let your hair down and have some fun. If
you wait until the last day to get crazy, you’ll look back on
this cruise and think of all the fun you could have had.
So, pretend that Day 1 is Day 7 and you only have a few
more hours on board: Then rip your clothes off, do a naked
belly flop into the pool, talk to a hot couple you normally
would be too shy to talk to, do things you’ve never done
before and then get up tomorrow and do it all again! Life is
short... Play harder!
Nudity
Our #1 question we get at our Help Desk is “Where can we
get naked?” The answer is: Anywhere that is outside pool
and sun decks. See the full list on page 4.
Our #2 question is always “When can we get naked?” The
easy answer is that we will let you know. When we are in
port, we will be visible to other ships, restaurants and
hotels, so we have to wait until the Captain makes an
announcement letting us all know that it is clear to “get
comfortable”.
Usually, this happens right after we leave port, but we might
have to wait until we get further out to sea. While we know
how much fun it must be to get naked and moon the nice
USCG personnel and boats sailing nearby, this could really
come back to be a serious problem, not only for us, but
MSC and you personally.
Recently, on another charter (not ours), a couple was on
their balcony while in port and thought it would be a good
idea to get naked and have sex. Apparently, some locals not
only saw it, but took pictures and turned it into the local
authorities. They were able to figure out which cabin it was
and the couple was taken off the ship and arrested.
Now we don’t know about you, but there are plenty of
places to have fun and party on a Couples Cruise that are a
heck of a lot better than ending up in a Puerto Rican jail.
Proper Etiquette
Now that you are ready to go wild, we must remind you
about proper etiquette. Of course, we have already
e-mailed you our rules, made you sign them before
coming on board and we have a copy printed on page 2 of
this program, so we won’t go over them again here, We’ll
just say that you had better read them and be responsible for
your and your partner’s behavior.
Drink Packages : The Scoop
All Inclusive Drink Packages
What was the number 1 question leading up to this
cruise? How much is the Drink package and what is covered. And when we say this was the most popular questions, it was by a LONG shot.
Here are our recommendations followed by a brief
description of the top three packages.
Our recommendation:
If you don't drink an average of 9.5+ drinks per day, go
with the Escape Pass (Coupon Book) instead of the all
Inclusive Packages.
For the same price as the all inclusive (Classic) you can
get 67 drinks. Most won’t drink that many drinks over
the course of the week, for those that will, then the
Classic Package is the best.

8.5 drinks per day to break even at that price.
Note: This does not include Premium Spirits
If you simply have to have the top shelf brands, drink
Champagne or Red Bull & vodka, then the Premium
package is for you..
This package also includes Margaritas, Pina Coladas,
Mojitos, Coco Locos, Bahama Mamas and other tropical
drinks.

Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
There’s a Time and a Place for Everything
We’ve already addressed the “where and the when” you
can be nude on board the ship, but we also want to
address where and when sexual activity is appropriate.
The easy answer is “never in public, only in private”.
Sexual activity is only allowed in your stateroom or in
the our Tantra & Massage Center (Black & White
Lounge) located on Deck 6, or in the Dungeon located on
Deck 15, during classes, seminars, workshops and labs.
We believe strongly that there is a time and place for
having fun and there is a time and place for sexual activity and that place is in private. Even though you might be
an exhibitionist, that doesn’t mean that other people want
to see you having sex in the jacuzzi. O.K., we’re not even
going there...
Another important thing we must point out: There are
around 3,000 people on board to flirt with, get to know
and have fun with, so get to know them and leave the
cruise ship staff alone. We know there are certain people
out there that like the challenge of corrupting “vanillas”
and having fun with someone they are not supposed to,
but they are strictly off limits. We really mean it and we
have had to put people off the ship for breaking this rule.
We understand that most of the ship’s staff is hot, we get
it. But they will also get fired if they get caught having
fun with you. Do you really want to go home knowing
that someone lost their job because you thought it would
be fun to try to hook up with one of the ship’s staff?
There are plenty of fish in the sea, please leave the ship’s
staff alone.
Specialty Restaurant: Eatily & Galaxy Restaurants
As we’re sure you know, all of the meals in the main
restaurants are included in the cost of the cruise. You can
eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the buffet on Deck 14
or in the more formal Dining Rooms on Decks 5 & 6.
If you want something different, for a special occasion
(anniversary, birthday, or just for fun), try either the
Eataly Italian or Steakhouse or the Galaxy Restaurant.
There is a cover charge for these restaurants, but they are
worth it.
Dining Room Etiquette
You can’t be naked in the Dining Room areas. On most
“Nude Cruises” the nudists all know about the unwritten
rule about sitting on a towel. If you decide to come to the
dining room in a short skirt or dress, with no under10
wear, please sit on a towel. Note: There will be towels available at the entrance to all of the dining venues, so you won’t
have to bring one with you.
Spa Styling
After your exfoliation and Baslinese Sauna treatment, why
not make an appointment to get your hair styled for the
night’s sexy theme party. From nails to massages to a men’s
haircut, the ship’s Spa can pamper you and make you feel
extra special. Treat your partner to a treatment and they will
thank you later.
The Spa is really beautiful and one of the best spas at sea.
Take a tour and you will want to get one of their signature
Balinese treatments.
Take a Gamble
The Casino is a great place to have fun, make a bet and
maybe even hit the jackpot! Last cruise we had a couple of
BIG payouts on the slot machines. One passenger booked a
future Couples Cruise with their winnings.
We are going to have several Slot, Blackjack and Poker
Tournaments with some great prizes, so if you are a “player” make sure to stop by and sign up for a Tournament. If
you are not a “player” go to one of the slot pulls. They are
more of a social event and a lot of fun.
Smoking Areas
You can no longer smoke on your balcony. There is a fee for
those caught smoking and you could even be asked to leave
the ship. You can smoke on the Starboard side of
deck 14 & 15. Not sure which side is starboard? Look for
the ashtrays.
You can also go outside, on Deck 7 (Starboard side) and
smoke on the outside Promanade.
There is also a very upscale Cigar Bar on Deck 6 with a full
bar open each evening with a great variety of scotches and
cognacs.
Important Photo Rules
The most important single rule you need to know about taking pictures: Don’t take pictures of people without their
permission. Ever. Period. Got it?
Some cruises, resorts & conventions have strict “No
Camera” rules and we always see cameras at them.
Eventually, someone gets pissed and we’ve seen fights
break out and cameras wrestled over and security getting
involved. Needless to say, “No Camera” rules never
work.
So, we are instituting a rule that allows people to use
cameras, but only to take photos of themselves, not general pictures of the cruise itself.
Happy Kitten Rope
If you see anyone taking pics of you, please let us know
ASAP and we will have the picture(s) deleted. Anyone
repeatedly breaking this rule will have their camera confiscated until the end of the cruise.
If you want to take a picture of you and your friends having a great time on the Couples
Cruise, then back up against the
bar, the DJ booth, the side of the
ship or a wall, but make sure
you aren’t
including
other
guests
in the
background.

Couples Cruise Presenters & Speakers

Help us Make History!
Largest Skinny Dip World Record
tralia
Attempt in Aus
World Record
On April 22, we go for the
Skinny Dipping World Record!
We have been wanting to do this for some
time and this week, we are going to set a
World Record.
In March of last year, a group from Perth,
Australia set the current World Record
with 786 people that went Skinny Dipping
(swimming naked) at their South Beach.
With almost 3,000 potential skinny dippers, we think we can beat the record for
sure. Of course, not everyone on a Couples
Cruise will get naked, but we are asking
everyone to join us to help break this
record and be part of history.
If this is the only time you get naked, then
it will at least be for a good cause. We are
doing this to raise awareness for Breast
Cancer and positive body image.
14
One of the founders of the Lotus Survival
Foundation will be on board to help make
history with us. Her organization is a 501
(c) non-profit that is making a difference
through education, publications, counseling and support groups, and they put on
conferences, workshops and retreats for
current breast cancer patients.
The Lotus Survival Foundation pairs current breast cancer patients with breast cancer survivors so that they have someone to
talk to that has been through what they are
going through. Instead of clinical discussions, they can get real answers to what
treatments and recovery will be like.
We are asking everyone that participates in
this record attempt to donate at least $10
(more if possible) to help them put on
more workshops and retreats.
You do not have to donate to participate and there will be other
fundraisers (like a silent auction) to
help this non-profit help more
women.
The record attempt will take place
on April 22nd, our last port day, on
a private island (Little San
Salvador Island) in the Bahamas.
In order to be certified by the Guinness
World Records, we have to properly document the event. We will have our staff on
hand to register each person by having
them fill out a form that shows that you
participated and then you will be counted
and let into the water. This will take a
while to get everyone signed in, but we
have a large staff and we will make sure
the process is easy and quick.
Once certified, you will be able to order a
certificate from the Guinness Book of
Records to document your participation.
We will organize some practice skinny dipping while on the cruise just to make sure
we are ready for this historic record
attempt.
We’ll see you (naked) on the 22nd.

will take place

Music Matters
We love music. In fact, we love lots of different types of
music (and some, not so much). With a diverse group
like ours (we have couples from 46 states and 34 countries) we have to make sure we have a big variety of
music.
This guide will help you find the type of music that is
best suited for your music tastes.
Classical, Piano & Contemporary Music
On Deck 5, we will feature some very talented classical
musicians that will play classical piano and ballads as
well as trios with violins. This area, as well as the Divina
Bar is sponsored by TheSwingerCruise.com.
16
TheSwingerCruise.com will host nightly Meet & Greets
and mixers and is one of our most popular sponsors
because they really know how to host a party.
Top 40/Dance Music
Our “Main Disco” will be located on Deck 16 in the
Galaxy Disco and is sponsored by Kasidie.com.
This is our main night time party and will always be
crowded with lots of people and a very energetic vibe.
You can expect lots of Top 40 club music every night
from 10 pm until late.
This space will host numerous seminars and classes by
day and turn into one of the hottest venues at sea at
night.
EDM Infinity Pool
A new addition to our charter is our EDM (Electronic
Dance Music) area on the back of the ship by the infinity
pool, where we have scheduled DJ’s from NYC, Miami,
Las Vegas, Chicago and Los Angeles to keep the music
going all night long. Sponsored by Kasidie.com
If you are into EDM, you will have a great spot to hang
out all day long with some very cool South Beach and
Chill mixes during the day and some heavy beats as the
night goes on.
Young Swinger’s Week is sponsoring our “Under 45
Meet & Greets” in this area.
Rock & Roll, Country & Karaoke (and bowling!)
Mark Maze will be playing the best Rock & Roll with
some Country favorites thrown in for those looking for
an alternative to the disco. You can find Mark in the
Sports Bar located on Deck 7, right next door to the Jazz
Lounge.
We will also have Karaoke available on some nights
with occasional pop up bowling tournaments (you heard
me right: Bowling!). This bar is sponsored by the Ms No
Swimsuit Contest & Tom’s Trips.
Jazz Lounge
On Deck 7, one of the ship’s most beautiful and classy
lounges is the Jazz Lounge. Each evening will feature
live music that will vary from classical to Jazz to contemporary music that is perfect for a social setting where
conversation, martinis and friendships are made.
If you want a break from loud or high energy music, the
Jazz Lounge is the perfect place to relax and catch up
with friends (or make new ones) each evening after the
main shows. Passion Suite Club is sponsoring this venue
and welcomes everyone to join them.
Piano Bar
Our Piano Bars are always very popular and this cruise
will be no different with two of our favorite piano players: Jen Porter & John Sackett. Both of these artists bring
a high energy show that will have you singing along and
laughing all night. You might find the popular
Dominatrix of Ditties or the amazing Spogga Hash make
an appearance one night.
The La Luna Piano Bar is on located on Deck 7 and is
sponsored by Dream Pleasure Tours. The shows start
nightly, around 8 pm and goes late into the night.
17
Why Cruise...
when you
can Sail
Latin Vibrations
We always have a very popular Latin Lounge and the
Divina is no different. Located on Deck 6, in the Piazza
Del Doge, is an area that will feature top Miami DJ
REBolution, playing some of the hottest Latin mixes.
If you like dancing, this will be one of the most popular
spots. We are even scheduling Latin dance classes for
those looking to learn how to Mamba and Rhumba. The
Latin Lounge is sponsored by Luxury Lifestyle
Vacations.

music?
Le Sirene, located on Deck 14, is a covered pool that
will always be quiet and relaxing. It is the perfect location to get away from all of the music and find a serene
oasis in the midst of the biggest party at sea.
Best part: You can be naked and there are two hot tubs!

Join us in the British Virgin Islands (BVI’s)
All Year Sailing in the BVI’s!
Clothing Optional Charters
in the beautiful British Virgin Islands
Unlike the large cruises, this Trimaran can
stop at multiple islands and harbors in a single day. They can get into places that cruise
ships can never experience, giving you access to some of the
best beaches, caves, diving and
beach bars that can only be
reached by sailboat.
Having a beer at Corona Island
Tess and I just found a true gem in the
Caribbean in St. Thomas. You can go with a
small group of friends and have the freedom
to sail topless (or even naked!), dance on a
pole, party with friends and have a truly
amazing experience while visiting some of
the most breathtaking areas in the
Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands.
You will get picked up in St. Thomas and
whisked away for a week of island
hopping through the BVI’s, where you can
dive, treasure hunt, snorkel, work on your
all over tan or just relax in a hammock and
do nothing.
The ship is a 63’ Trimaran sailboat that is
very stable and the perfect vessel for up to 5
couples to share.
Unlike monohull sailboats or even catamarans, our sailboat is much wider, rides
smoother and has a lot more deck space for
enjoying the outside.
The ship comes with a Captain, 1st Mate, a
chef and a dive master. This is what really
sets this Couples Cruise, clothing optional
charter apart from any other small charters
in the Virgin Islands. Normally, you will get
a crew of two, but we double the crew to
ensure you have everything you need.
You won’t believe the meals on board and
you’ll love the drinks (which are all included in the price). This is a great value
because it’s all inclusive.
20
One day, we searched for treasure with their underwater metal
detectors and we found three
different coins from the 1600’s.
Talk about searching for booty!
Another day, we were
sailing along when a
couple of dolphins
came over and swam in our bow
wake. They stayed with us for
quite a while and we just couldn’t
stop watching and taking pictures.
Some of our favorite spots were
the crazy bars our Captain took
us to. We went to Willie T’s,
Duffy’s Love Shack, the Soggy
Dollar Bar & Foy’s to name a
few.
At Willie T’s, our 1st Mate got
the party started by stripping
naked on the dance floor. The
next thing we knew, several
ladies were dancing naked and I
(Bob) somehow ended up naked
on the upper deck (3rd story) for
the famous “Naked Plunge”.
Unlike a regular barefoot charter
or even a fully captained charter,
this crew knows how to party
and how to get things started.
Find 4 other couples and sign up
for a week in the BVI’s Today!
Stop by our Couples Cruise Help Desk
(located n the Silver Lounge on Deck
6) and we will help you set up a week
with your friends.
Can’t find four other couples to go
with? Come down and we will help
match you up with other couples that
are looking to go. Meet them on board
and see if you are compatible.

What Our Clients Are Saying
,,
,,
All the trips look sexy, and we didn’t know which would be right
for us. What a cool feature to be able to chat online with one of
the TSC expert agents. She was able to guide us to a resort with
a fun group that matched our interests and ‘speed’ perfectly.
We have prominent positions in our home community and discretion is very important to us. We keep our lifestyle activities private.
We chose to work with TSC because of their polished professional
approach. We have complete trust in working with our TSC agent.

We were nervous about our first lifestyle vacation. Our agent was helpful choosing just the right cabin and then offered an
awesome ‘100 day countdown to cruise’ program. We were informed about everything! From little known places to shop
for theme party outfits, tips for getting the most out of the ship board happenings and the inside scoop on the best meet
and greets for new couples. We knew what to do every step of the way. Thank you for making us feel so ready!

Thursday, Day 6 at 10 pm
Couples Cruise Entertainers
This week will be full of non-stop entertainment unlike any
resort you have ever been. You can find Jazz, adult-rated
Piano Shows, Comedians, acrobats, dancers, singers, aerialists and Broadway type production shows.
Listen and laugh while she shares her sexual experiences
that span private encounters, swing clubs and conventions,
house parties, dungeons and cruise ships...all with hilariously disastrous results!
The Main Show will start at 10:00 pm each night in the
Pantheon Theater on Decks 6 & 7. You will see hilarious
Adult Comedy, Magic shows, Cirque du Soleil caliber production shows and Fantasy: The Naughtiest Show at Sea
(don’t miss THIS one).
Keith West’s Magic at Sea
Besides the award winning MSC Divina shows, Couples
Cruise has brought in all of the following additional entertainers to make this week’s cruise truly unforgettable.
Here are some of our special shows and entertainers that
will be performing throughout the week:
Fantasy: The Naughtiest Show at Sea
presents: Pandora’s Box
Trixie Minx Productions is bringing “Pandora’s Box” to the
Divina. The show will have a central theme that will bring
some of the top performers in the country to the Pantheon
Stage to see what happens when you open Pandora’s Box.
The show will feature Trixie Minx, Ray Gunn, Angelique
Deville, Surka Noelle, Sam Aquatic, Brian and Crista,
Angela Eve and the fabulous Fantasy Diamond Dancers.
This show is specifically produced by Couples Cruise, you
will not see anything like this on any ship or any charter.
This is the one “don’t miss” show of the week.
Mark Maze
Mark picked up the award for “Lifestyle Entertainer of the
Year” at last year’s Annual Lifestyle Awards. He is one of
the most diverse entertainers in the industry.
Another diverse entertainer, she will host a show in the
Luna Piano Bar as well as star in a hilarious hypnosis show
that has become one of the most popular shows at sea.
True Las Vegas Magic comes to the life as our guest
Headliner, Keith West, will amaze you with his illusions.
This show will be a little different from what you’d see on a
regular cruise. Keith is performing a special “adult version”
of his show that will not only amaze you but tantalize as
well.
Jen Poter: Piano Player
We saw Jen Porter just over 10 years ago, in Chicago, and
we fell in love. She is so talented and can sing just about
anything.
We have been wanting to have her on one of our cruises for
years, but she plays throughout the Caribbean and it was
hard to get our schedules to match up. Until now.
Head to the Piano Bar and you will fall in love with our
friend, Jen, too.
John Sackett: Piano Player
John has been on more Couples Cruises than any other performer. He gets high reviews from our post cruise polls
where past passengers tell us who their favorite entertainers
are and who we should ask back.
We 1st saw John at the Tampa Howl at the Moon and we
knew instantly that he would fit in perfectly with our crowd.
He is a magician, a hypnotist, he MC’s game shows and is a
featured singer in a Rock & Roll Band. He will also be
DJ’ing some of our pool parties and hosting our Karaoke
nights in the Sports Bar on Deck 7.
DJ’s
The Dominatrix of Ditties is a nationally touring musical
comedian, that “whips” up laughs with a sexy, refreshingly
unique and fun musical comedy show about the swinging
and BDSM lifestyles.
We will highlight them on our DJ page, but they will
include DJ Scotty Boy, DJ Rebolution, Rockin’ Ronnie,
Mark Maze, DJ Buggz, DJ Justin, DJ Rick, DJ Anthony, DJ
DVS, and Randall Dean from Invite Only Parties.
Dominatrix of Ditties
This year we have more of the top DJ’s in the country than
ever before playing the widest variety of music.

Couples Cruise Seminars
Massage Area:
Black & White Lounge - Deck 7
Dungeon:
I Puffi - Deck 15
Demonstrations Provided
I Puffi - Deck 15
Galaxy Disco - Deck 16
Tantra Area:
Black & White Lounge - Deck 7
We will have two main areas for our classes, workshops and
seminars. They will be located on Decks 7, 15 & 16. These
are private spaces and not open to the public. You certainly
do not have to ever go into these private spaces, in fact most
of the people on a Couples Cruise never venture into these
rooms.
We have a great staff that will greet you, go over our rules
and etiquette and will make sure the room is always clean
and tidy. It’s a thankless job, so do us a favor and let them
know how much you appreciate their hard work.
Check your daily planner for a list of classes, seminars and
workshops. Make sure you arrive early, as many classes fill
up quickly.
24
You can close the curtains for privacy or leave them open, it’s
your choice and your journey. Just make sure you are respectful of those nearby.
We will have a “Sneak Peak” on our 1st night, from 9:00 10:00 pm, for those interested in seeing what these rooms are
like. You can come visit and take a tour knowing that the
room will only be open for viewing and there will be no
nudity or seminars going on inside.
We take a lot of pride in creating these sensual Tantra
inspired areas. We use beautiful silks, velour and sheers to
make the room sumptuous and vibrant. We have collected the
right mix of music to enhance the senses. We use essential
oils in diffusers so that the rooms smell fabulous and we
make sure the lighting is just right, so you can still see, but
it’s not too bright.
25
Couples Cruise Meet & Greets
Meet & Greets
Travel Agent Meet & Greets
Some of our top Travel Agents are having some Meet &
Greets each evening and some are having one or two
throughout the cruise. You probably got an email from
them listing the times and the locations, but if you forgot,
just checkout the Daily Planner, in your cabin, and you
will see the list of Meet & Greets for your Travel Agent.
Here is a list of sponsored Meet & Greets that we have
put together so you can find other like-minded people on
board. Most of them are scheduled early in the cruise to
help you mingle and meet new friends.
International Couples Meet & Greet
Do you speak Spanish or French? How about German? If
so, come to the International Meet & Greets in the Piazza
Del Doge, Deck 6, from 6:30 -7:305 pm every sea day.
You can watch the sunset and meet other International
couples that speak your language.
Under 45 Meet & Greet
Are you 45 years or younger? Want to meet others in
your age range? Located the Infinity (Garden) Pool, Deck
15, from 9:00 - 10:00 pm every night. This is where the
big club parties are on Day 1 and every sea day. You will
help us get the party started.
If he is 47 and she is 39, you can still attend. We won’t
be checking ID’s, and the exact ages at these Meet &
Greets are not that important. What really matters is that
you can easily find people in your age range to meet.
Over 45 Meet & Greet
There will be several Meet & Greets for those looking for
mature couples in the Sports Bar on Deck 7, from 6:30 7:30 on Day 1 and every sea day. This is a great place to
socialize without loud music.
Newbies Meet & Greet
Is this your 1st Couples Cruise? Are you new to alternative lifestyles? Stop by and we will have experienced
host couples to answer questions and there will be other
couples that you can meet that are just starting on their
journey too. These M&G’s will be in the Golden Jazz Bar
from 6:30 - 7:30, located on Deck 7, the 1st couple of
nights of the cruise.
26
Kink/Fetish Meet & Greet
If you are interested in a little BDSM or just feel like being
tied up for a little while, stop by to meet some of the other
kinky couples onboard. This is a BYOP (bring your own
paddle) party located at the Divina Bar on Deck 5 from 9:00
- 10:00 pm on certain nights (check your Daily Planner).
Soft Swap Meet & Greet
Not into “swinging” but curious? Not willing to “go all the
way” but want to find other open minded couples? Start
slowly and find other couples that are playful, but
monogamous on our sea days, from 3:30 - 4:30 pm in the
Silver Lounge, Deck 6.
Bi Couples Meet & Greet
Are you a Bi-Couple? Are you looking for Couples that are?
Stop bi and meet other like-minded couples in the Sports
Bar (Deck 7) on some afternoons from 4:30 - 5:30 pm.
Couples with a Hall Pass
Do you play separately? If so, stop in the La Cantina di
Bacco, Deck 7, from 3:00 - 4:30 pm, on some all of our sea
days and find other singles or Couples that can play separately and who knows... you might find someone to have
some fun with, if not, they have great pizza.
Nudist Meet & Greet
We will have some M&G’s for our nudist passengers at the
Le Sirene Bar on Deck 14, overlooking the main pool from
4 - 5 pm on Sea Days. There is a strict dress policy: Naked!
Friends of Bill W.
Someone recently asked me “Who is this Bill W. and he
sure has a lot of friends everywhere.” I got a chuckle out of
this, as my mom was a substance abuse counselor for over
40 years so I knew that Bill W. was the founder of
Alcoholics Anonymous. We will have M&G’s for those in
the program that are looking for support from other members of AA. Sky & Stars, Deck 16 at 6:30 pm nightly.
All 50 United States M&G
If you want to find people from your home state (or town),
stop by the Golden Jazz Bar from on Deck 7 on certain
nights (see your Daily Planner) and look for the table with
your state. A great way to meet other locals, far from home.

Couples Cruise Speed Dating
Couples Speed Dating
Everyone knows what Speed Dating is; it’s a way for singles to meet a bunch of other singles in a quick, rapid fire
session to see if you can find someone that interests you
that you might want to follow up with later.
On a Couples Cruise, we double the idea and we have
Couples Speed Dating. We have a lot of couples that like to
meet couples for more than just socializing, but how do you
know who, on a ship that holds over 3,000 people, is looking for the same thing.
Even if you do find a couple that you know likes to meet
other couples, how do you know if they are compatible?
Are they into BDSM? Just watching? Are they just looking
for some fun with the ladies? What are their limits and their
personal guidelines?
At Couples Cruise Speed Dating, you get the chance to
meet a lot of couples within a short (90 minute) timeframe.
You can ask them anything you want and get a chance to
know them a little better, before moving onto the next
couple.
You can take notes (provided) and even set up a time to
meet later. Even if you don’t make a “connection”, you
might just find some new great friends.
Over 45 Couples Speed Dating will be held on all sea days
at 11 am. The 2 pm session will befor Under 45 Speed
Dating.
Naked Speed Dating
Want to know even more about a couple?
At Naked Speed Dating, there isn’t much that you won’t

no clothes to give you an impression, you are left with only
the individual person to get to know.
