Mexican Riviera Tour
The World’s Best Couples Only, Adult Cruises
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
that 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 put where they are from. 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 cruises with you.
AlreadyBooked.com is the fastest growing lifestyle
travel website, specifically for those who enjoy Adults
Only and Clothing Optional Cruises. Tell your friends
about this site and help us welcome
everyone aboard.
See you on
AlreadyBooked.com!
Welcome Aboard!
This is only our 1st West Coast full ship, charter cruise.
We had contracted a ship back in 2011, but the ship was
transferred to Europe so our 1st charter out of California
never happened.
Three years later, Celebrity called us to let us know that
they would have a ship in California for a few weeks and
wanted to know if we were interested. We certainly were!
The ship is currently sailing on a 7 night rotation of Santa
Barbara, San Francisco, Monterey, Catalina and Ensenada
with no sea days. We thought it would be better to cruise
down south and we added three sea days.
We love Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas, so we were
excited when we got the opportunity to cruise the Mexican
Riviera, as well as, spend a couple of days at sea.
There is a lot going on each day (especially on sea days),
so look at your Celebrity Today, the daily newsletter in
your cabin, which will list every activity, seminar, contest,
entertainment and open times for all of the venues.
Make sure to check out your TV each morning to see our
morning shows for the day’s highlights. In fact, you can
even check the dinner menu and see how much you have
spent on board from your TV set, as well.
Our staff will be wearing bright yellow Couples Cruise
shirts and should be easy to find, so hit them up if you are
lost or need anything. We are here to help make this your
best vacation ever!
Your Hosts,
Bob & Tess

Couples Cruise 2014 Guidelines
Please help us ensure everyone has the best possible time by abiding by all of our (and Celebrity’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 Celebrity Century 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
decks (11, 12), and all hallways leading to your cabin.
Topless is permitted in the SLS Hemispheres Lounge
(disco). Please note that you cannot go nude in any elevator. You must be covered. No nudity is allowed in the
restaurants, casino, shops, Grand Foyer, 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 Colette Play Area (the Crystal Room), 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!
Couples Cruise Nudity Rules

Our number one question is “When and where can we get
naked?” Here is a complete list of where exactly you can

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.

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 Island’s Cafe 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 Celebrity 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.
All Inclusive Drink Packages
Celebrity Cruises is now offering All Inclusive Drink
Packages and they have been a big hit on our most recent
charters. They are a great value and helped save many of
our passengers a lot of money on their bar tabs.
You need to sign up for these packages on the very 1st
day or you won’t be able to get the package.
Tip: If you get the Premium package, it covers drinks up
to $12. If you get something more expensive, you only
pay the difference in the price between $12 and the cost
of the drink. This is only possible with the Premium
package.
Safety at Sea
One very important issue for Couples Cruise and
Celebrity Cruises 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.
The bartenders go through training and will cut off people
who are too intoxicated to serve. They can also shut off
your cabin key (called your SeaPass) so you can’t get any
drinks at any other bars.
Be a Good Partner/Friend
4
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 Celebrity Cruises has a “Zero Tolerance” rule for
all illegal drugs.
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 Celebrity
Cruises 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
Jamaican or Mexican jail, but we know that we never want
to find out what they are like.
Dressing for the Playrooms
What can you wear to the playrooms? This is often a big
mystery for those that have never been on a Couples Cruise
or to Naughty in N’awlins. Let me explain our “Dress
Code” for this sensuous and erotic Playroom:
The Colette Playroom is located on Deck 7, aft, in The
Crystal Room. You cannot be in street clothes to enter. This
means that you need to be in a robe (we have Couples
Cruise robes in the ship’s store), a towel, lingerie, boxers or
briefs, pajamas or something so sexy that our staff can wave
you in.
Why? Because we have been to LOTS of conventions,
parties, clubs and cruises where street clothes were allowed
in the play areas and they all end up being social Meet &
Greets without anyone actually playing.
Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
Once we put the “No Street Clothes” rule into effect, our
play areas became the most active, fun and wildest play
areas in the country (now the World!). If you really are
coming to play, then this rule is no big deal. If you are
coming to hang out, there are better places on board.
What if we meet a couple and there is chemistry and we
want to go play now and we don’t want to go all the way
back to our cabin? No problem, just show up, strip down
to your underwear and come on in. We will give you a
plastic bag for your clothes. Don’t have any underwear?
Ask for a towel at the door and we will give you one to
wrap around yourself.
Welcome Aboard / Sail Away Party
Don’t miss our Sail Away Party at 4 pm on the Main Pool
Deck (Deck 11). It is a great chance to grab a drink, meet
your fellow cruisers & get started on your cruise.
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.
Booking your next Couples Cruise
Stop by the Couples Cruise office on Deck 5 (near Guest
Relations) and sign up for your next cruise. Our staff can
answer any questions and help you pick out the best
available cabins.
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 from 9 am till 6 pm on sea days, but will be
open from 9 am till 11 am and then again from 4 pm until 6
pm on port days.
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.
Book
Now!
You can also find out
where the best parties and
entertainment is going on. Just
stop in and ask us.

NAUGHTY IN N’AWLINS
Best Party Suites Anywhere
If you like the play areas on board the Couples Cruise,
then you’ll love the playrooms at Naughty in N’awlins.
Instead of just using a room with one or two beds in it, we
put together an entire floor with group rooms, semi private
rooms, dark rooms, dungeons and much more.
August 6th-10th, 2014
Top Food City in America
New Orleans is known for many things, but the
great restaurants might be our favorite part of this
great city. Come for the convention, but take time to
explore and eat some of the best food of your lives...
Best Music on the Planet
O.K., maybe the music is our favorite part of
New Orleans. From Jazz, to the Blues, to some
of the greatest singers we’ve ever heard. Come
for the convention and listen to this city sing...
Largest Couples Event in the US
Sometimes size does matter
Best Bang for your Buck
Compare us to any other major event
to see the savings
Longest History in the US
Compare our history to others, how many
successful events have others produced?
Complete Hotel Takeover
Others claim to take over the entire hotel,
we actually do (and have for 19 years)!
Only Swinger Parade
Where else can you march down the street
with a bunch of swingers behind a marching
band with a Police escort?
Best City for a Party!
There is no city like New Orleans that let’s
us party, right on Bourbon Street, that
allows flashing, to-go cups and is supported
by the city instead of shutting events and
clubs down.

Bob & Tess’ Corner
This is going to be one exciting year. We recently bought
out our partner’s shares in Couples Cruise and we moved
the main office to New Orleans. This is an exciting chapter
in our lives and we are looking forward to the challenges
ahead.
Besides being the founders of Couples Cruise, we have been
putting on the biggest and wildest hotel buyout conventions
in the country for almost 20 years, so we aren’t new to this.
The only difference you may find is that our call center now
has a southern accent. Instead of “youse guys”, you may get
a “y’all” and if you hear one of our girls mumbling, it’s just
because she is probably eating some beignets (ben-yays).
Celebrity Century
We are excited to be back on the Celebrity Century, she is a
grand ol’ ship that is on her last year with Celebrity. She
will head to Europe next spring for her new assignment with
her new company.
During its final year as a Celebrity ship, Celebrity Century
will visit a record 77 ports across 32 countries in what
amounts to a farewell tour. New exotic-for-the-ship destinations will include Manila and Boracay, Philippines; Bandar
Seri Begawan (Muara), Brunei; and Yangon (Rangoon),
Myanmar.
Her most exotic cruise will be this week as she is transformed into a “Couples Cruise”. If only they could see her
now...
Even though she has some age on her, she has some wonderful features, venues and a cast and crew that you are sure
to appreciate. Join us for a week filled with fun and fantasies as we show this old gal the way to party (no matter
what your age).
Our Future
Because of the changeover, it has set us back a little on our
future cruises. We usually book our charters 2 years in
advance and since we were working out a buyout, we were
unable to book a ship until after we had finalized the
purchase.
We have been in negotiations with RCCL for future groups
and charters and we had hoped to have something
announced before this cruise, but it will take us a little more
time to put something together.
Email us at [email protected] and let us know
where you want to cruise, on which cruise lines and on
which specific ships. This will help us pick the perfect
cruise for everyone in the near future.
People have asked us “What can we do to help make these
cruises continue”, that is easy, the best way for you to help
out is to book more Couples Cruises, tell your friends about
us and like us on your Facebook page.
Thanks for sailing with us and we look forward to seeing
you again on a future Couples Cruise,
Your hosts,
Warming up for our next Co

Couples Cruise Ports & Excursions
Top Recommended Things to do in
Puerto Vallarta
2. Las Caletas Hideaway
Enjoy a 60 minute boat ride to the unique beach hideaway of
Las Caletas. It's golden beaches, tropical waters and lush vegetation are yours to enjoy. Your day includes a buffet lunch,
all beverages, guided snorkeling and kayaking, parrot and
monkey encounters, a nature walk and yoga.
Famed film director John Huston lived here for many
years, now you too can experience this exclusive beach
hideaway.
Tess and I have been here many times. It is a nice relaxing
day off the boat with decent snorkeling, a nice boat ride
across the bay and a really nice facility.
This is Tess’ favorite excursion in Puerto Vallarta.
Puerto Vallarta
We LOVE Puerto Vallarta! It is one of our favorite places in
Mexico and one of the reasons we chartered this ship
Here are some of our favorite things to do in port:
3. Flyboarding:
Talk about Extreme! Blast out of the water and feel your
heart beat faster as you fly above the surface just like
Ironman. Test yourself and try some tricks like fun dives, tricky
turns, or fun dolphin jumps.
1. Canopy Adventure Tour (Extreme Adventure): We have
been on zip lines all around the world and Puerta Vallarta has
two of the best I have ever been on. Initially, Celebrity did not
have this on their list of excursionsbecause they normally cater
to an older crowd.
I told them “Forget that, we need Extreme Zip Lines for our people because they are almost as crazy as these zip lines”!”.
So, they put them in and now you can soar above the valley in a
zip line adventure not like any other you will ever find. Did I
mention the donkeys? No, not a donkey show, but this is how
you will get back up to the starting point and this ride alone was
worth the price of admission.
Flyboarding
This looks hard, but it’s not really hard at all. At 1st it is a little
scary, but once you get the hang of it (like a Segway) you’ll be
soaring above the bay just like Ironman.
Canopy Tour
Bob’s #1 recommended excursion in Puerto Vallarta.
8
4. Clothing Optional Pirate Ship Adventure:
This excursion was sold out before we even went to print, but
you can go to the Shore Excursions desk to see if they get any
cancellations (they usually do) and sign up to be notified if
room opens up. This was our #1 rated excursion when we
cruised on the Vision of the Seas a couple of years back.
Not only is this a clothing optional cruise, but there is a hilarious, swashbuckling, adult Pirate show that is very entertaining.
There is also a stop at a private beach where you can enjoy a
lunch and suntan au naturel.
Couples Cruise Ports & Excursions
Top Recommended Things to do in
Cabo San Lucas
Enjoy the freedom of your very own itinerary when you embark
on a tour of Cabo San Lucas via private vehicle with driver/guide and experience the adventure of a lifetime at your very
own pace. Embark on an unforgettable half-day excursion
throughout Cabo San Lucas via a private van and experience the freedom of following your very own itinerary at
your own pace.
4. Cabo San Lucas Sport Fishing:
Cabo San Lucas ranks as one of the best sport fishing destinations in the world and draws anglers from the four corners of the earth.
Cabo San Lucas
1. Beach and Desert Off Road Xrails Adventure:
Are you noticing a trend of adventurous excursions? It’s because
on a Couples Cruise, we (Tess and I and a lot of our fellow passengers) live for today, experiencing life and adventure with a
passion. So why not go off road and have a little fun?
Hop on your All Terrain Xrail Buggy for a safe off road ride for
a couple and double the fun for two (friendly) couples. Your two
person Xrail Buggy is fully automatic, easy to operate, and will
bring out the excitement of driving at Cabo San Luca's outback
which is famous for its mountainous desert terrain, and wide
sandy riverbeds that merge with the Pacific Shoreline.
You will travel in a caravan lead by your experienced guide
through sandy trails that unveil the adventure, unique Flora and
extraordinary scenery of the Pacific Ocean alongside the Baja
Desert.
2. Cabo Del Sol Desert Course:
This par 72 Tom Weiskopf design course features ocean views
from all 18 holes and incredible natural surroundings. The
course varies in length from 4,810 to 7,100 with undulating
greens, challenging elevation changes and dramatic bunkering.
Tour includes transportation, green fees and shared cart. Proper
attire is required. No shirts without collars, denim sport shorts,
cut off, tank tops, or sandals please. Club rentals available.
This is Bob’s favorite excursion in Cabo San Lucas
3. Cabo My Way - Private Arrangements by Van with
Driver/Guide:
We asked Celebrity to offer some private vans with a tour guide
that could take several couples on a private tour of Cabo San
Lucas that would go where you want. The best part? You can
split the cost with friends. This is a great way to spend the day
and see everything you want and nothing you don’t want to see.
This is also home to some of the richest fishing jackpots in
the world, reaching up to two million dollars. Fishing is
catch-and-release only. Please note: Six anglers will share a
boat. Boat sizes may vary depending on availability.
May is the best time of the year to catch Dorado, Striped
Marlin, Shark & Sailfish.
O.K., I (Bob) changed my mind. I love golf, but I really love
deep sea fishing, so THIS is my #1 thing to do in Cabo.
Top Recommended Things to do in
Ensenada
1st of all, there isn’t much to do in Ensenada.
1. Calafia Valley Wine Country
Visit two prestigious wine makers in Mexico's wine belt of
Calafia Valley. During the approximate 45-minute drive from the
port to the wine region your guide will introduce you to the history of Ensenada, its people and customs.
1. Private Couples Cruise Party!
This is a private party for Couples Cruise Party People Only! Of
all the things to do in Ensenada, this is THE party to go to. The
excursion covers your transportation to and from the party,
admission into Ensenada’s top club, all you can drink and all
you can eat Mexican Buffet.
This is no typical Ensenada nightclub, this is a club that would
rival the best Las Vegas or NYC clubs with state of the art
sound, lights and visuals. There will be lots of sexy ladies there
to dance and do shots with you. There will be performers and a
wild staff that will literally turn your world upside down.
3. La Bufadora Tour
If you can’t hang with the party crowd, take it easy and visit "La
Bufadora", a natural phenomenon where water shoots through
crevices formed in the cliff's rock face. You will have time to
shop for souvenirs at some of the small stores that line the path
to the blowhole.

Transfers to and from the Port
Getting from LAX to San Pedro Port
To transfer between the San Pedro Port and LAX, you have
three options:
Remember, on the day we leave from San Pedro, we will
not be at the main cruise terminal, but just down the street at
Pier 46. The rates below should be about the same, because
the pier we are using is very close to the L.A. Cruise Ship
Terminal. When we return, we will return to the cruise
terminal, not Pier 46.
1. Taxi -- the quickest, most convenient and also the most
expensive method -- about $80 to $90 (during 'commuter
hours' the ride takes longer so the fare is more). You can
talk to the taxi dispatcher at the airport to see if there is a
taxi driver that will take you there "for a fixed rate" -exclusive of how long it might take. Generally, the ride will
be about 40 minutes, closer to an hour during commuter
hours (between 6:00 and 9:00 am and between 3:00 and
7:00 pm).
2. If you come in a day or two early and you want to rent a
car, Enterprise rent-a-car has an office close to the port of
San Pedro at 233 N. Harbor Blvd, San Pedro. Their telephone number is: 310-548-8060. (You will need to put a "1"
in front of that number if you are calling from a "land line"
within the U.S.)
Here's a link to their website: http://www.enterprise.com/
Rates are $85 to $95 which includes a "drop charge" for
picking up the car at one location and dropping it at the
9
other. Note: They normally do not accept debit cards, so you
may need a major credit card if you want to rent a car.
3. Shuttle bus -- Prime Time Shuttle (redvans.com) offers a
"shared van" service between LAX and the port. On their
home page, click on RESERVATIONS AND FARE
QUOTES in the red area on the left side of the window.
Click the appropriate box on the next page. Then on the following page, select the airport from the drop-down menu,
fill in the date and time of your flight and then, click on the
PORTS AND POPULAR STOPS 'drop down menu' and
select "HARBOR -- L.A. CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL". Be
sure that you DO NOT select the "Carnival Cruise Lines
Port in Long Beach!". Select the number of passengers and
suitcases traveling. The fare is $16 per passenger. Count on
it taking about 1-1/2 hours since the van may wait at the airport to pick up additional passengers and may drop off others on the way to the port (or vice verse). Prime Time
Shuttle also offers the following services: private sedan cars
(for up to 3 guests, including tip) for $79.06, PRIVATE van
service for up to 7 guests, (excluding tip) for $70 and PRIVATE van service (for up to 9 guests, excluding tip) for
$85. Lastly, they offer a Town Car (for up to 3 guests,
including tip) for $92.04.
On the opposite page is the current list of total prices for
two people with two pieces of luggage. Note: These prices
are NOT per person, so if you can find a couple (or several
couples) to that are flying in around the same time as you,
to share a ride with, you can save money.
Transfer Options from LAX

Driving to the Port
Embarkation Instructions for those passengers that are
Driving to the Ship
The check in process is going to be a little tricky. There are
only two cruise piers in San Pedro and the day we leave
there are three ships in port. Because of this, we will not be
leaving out of the main pier, but out of Pier 46, just down
the road from the main cruise terminal.
If clients are coming in from the airport or catching a shuttle
from a hotel, they can go directly to the ship at Pier 46 and
check in as normal.
If they are driving in and they need to park, here is where
things get a little tricky. The best solution is to drive directly
to Pier 46 (see the map below) and drop off their partner
and luggage.
As soon as they are dropped off, they need to drive back
down Harbor Blvd to the main cruise terminal, where they
need to park. Once parked, they can catch a free shuttle
back to Pier 46. This will be a lot easier than trying to drag
all of their luggage onto the shuttle.
All of the check in process will be taking place at Pier 46,
the only thing the Main Cruise Terminal will be used for on
May 3rd is parking.
When we get back into San Pedro on May 10th, we will be
at the main cruise terminal, so there will be no need for any
shuttles and debarkation will be a breeze.
When to Arrive
If everyone arrived at the same time, it would create huge
lines. Typically, the ship is not even cleared for boarding
until 11:00 am, so getting there before 10:30 am will only
mean that you will be waiting for a long time. This pier
does not have a terminal, only a temporary tent structure, so
do not get their early or you will be in for a long wait.
The peak times for check in are 11:00 am - 12:30 pm. This
is when we will have the longest lines and longest wait to
get on board the ship. If you come a little later (after 12:30),
you will probably get on board faster and you will beat the
rush.
If you are at a local hotel, ask for a late check out and enjoy
the morning, have breakfast, visit with friends and then head
to the pier. You’ll be glad you did.
We will have live music, drinks and cookies for those who
are in line, so relax, have a good attitude and getting on the
ship will be enjoyable.

Drink Packages
If you drink a lot of sodas, beer or alcohol, check out the
following packages and you might save money on your bar
bill. Especially if you hang out in the Martini Bar!
Premium Package
For the ultimate in value and convenience, our premium
package provides all the benefits of our Premium NonAlcoholic Package. In addition, you can enjoy our entire
selection of Beers as well as Spirits, Cocktails and Wines by
the Glass up to $13 per serving. Plus, with purchase of this
Premium Package, you can enjoy a 20% discount on all
wines by the bottle purchased on board, even our prized
Reserve Wine list and Rare Wine list.
Another great perk from having this package is that you can
order any drink and if it is more than $13, you can simply
pay the difference. So, if you got a premium glass of port
that costs $28 per glass, you will only pay $15 for it, not
$28.
$59.00 Per Night (plus 15% gratuity)
Classic Package
Upgrade your cruise experience and pay one price to enjoy
all of the benefits of our Classic Non-Alcoholic package as
well as all beers up to $6 per serving, and spirits, cocktails,

13
Tipping
On all of the bar checks, there is a 15% gratuity automatically added to each daily fee. You do not have to tip more,
you can just sign the receipt and be on your way, but the
bartenders on our cruises bust their butts and we almost
always give them a dollar here or there to reward them for
the long hours and the high volume of drinks our charters
require them to make.
Normally, on the drink packages, they do not require you to
sign a receipt, but on our charter, they will. This is for two
reasons:
1. On a normal ship, they might get 75-150 Premium Drink
Packages ordered per cruise. On our cruise, they may get
900- 1,000 orders. With over half the ship drinking without
any receipts, there is no opportunity for them to make any
tips and what used to be a great week for them (moneywise)
turned into a less than average pay day for them.
When the cruise lines stopped requiring receipts for their
guests with the drink packages, it dramatically effected their
earnings. When you factor in how much more our ship
drinks than a normal crowd, they were working harder for
less money.
The cruise lines made this choice because they did not want
to look like the bartenders were “fishing for tips”, because
all of the receipts are zero ($0.00), so we asked them to
change their policy, just for our charter and they agreed. So
don’t blame the bartenders for making you sign the receipt,
it is all our fault.
We know that happy bartenders make happy drinks and we
want the best service for our charter and if they are getting
tips, they will be very happy.
2. We had a lot of people buying drinks for other guests on
past charters, so we are going to keep track of what everyone is buying to make sure there are no patterns of abuse.
We do not need to allow drink packages. In fact most charters do not sell drink packages, we are the only charter company that allows it. They are designed to be for one person,
not a vehicle for passengers to buy drinks for their wives,
partners or friends.
If anyone is found to be abusing these package deals, their
package will be suspended and they will have to go back to
a la carte drink purchases.
So, to summarize, tip your bartenders from time to time and
don’t abuse the drink packages. Cheers!
Theme Nights
We have theme nights listed for each night, but it is not
mandatory to participate (just fun!).You can dress up in your
nightly theme for dinner if you don’t want to have to change
later, it’s all up to you. It’s your cruise, so do what you want
and partake as little or as much as you like.
Embarkation: “For Lust of the Game”
A long time passenger of ours came up with this idea and it
has been catching on. He calls it “For the Lust of the Game”
a take off of the popular phrase “For the Love of the Game”.
Anyway, the way it works is to wear your favorite team’s
jersey or T-shirt when you check in and board the ship. As
you walk around, go to lunch, head to the pool bar, you will
run into other people with the same team and it will be an
instant ice breaker.
Chances are, they are from your neck of the woods; even if
they are not, they will share a common love for your team
which makes it easy to go up and talk to a stranger that you
have never met before. This is especially helpful on the 1st
day.
Theme Nights
Night 3. Back to School
Dinner dress tonight is simply “Dress to Impress” (as is
most nights). You can wear a suit if you want, but a lot of
people are going to wear nice, collared shirts and slacks. If
you have a nice pair of jeans you can wear those too. Just
dress up like you are going out to a nice dinner or nite club
and you’ll be fine.
After dinner will be our ”Naughty Schoolgirl/boy” theme
night. Guys can dress as a nerd, a football jock or any other
school stereotype. Girls, you know what to do.
Night 4. Mardi Gras Party
This is a Dress to Impress night for dinner followed by a
Mardi Gras Ball. Purple, Gold & Green will be the predominate colors and masks, beads, body painting and feathers
will be seen everywhere.
This is an Eyes Wide Shut movie come to life...
Night 5. Glitz & Glimmer Theme Night
You might find someone wearing your team’s biggest rival
jersey which will still give you a great opening to say “Hi!”.
This is our 2nd formal night, but is usually not as formal as
the 1st. You are encouraged to wear Gold, Silver & Metallic
to dinner tonight and then to our glittery ball to dance the
night away.
We like to make it easy on the 1st night, so we always promote casual cruise/resort wear, like a Hawaiian shirt or a
flowery sundress for dinner.
Dress to Impress at dinner and then it is time for our kinkyest night of the week: Fetish Night. Leather, latex, bondage
and cross dressing... What is your fetish?
Night 1. Dinner: Casual Night Party: 80’s Dance Party
For the main party we always choose a decade for our 1st
night and this cruise we are going with the 80’s. Glam rock,
New Wave, Madonna, Michael Jackson or Breakfast Club.
Night 2. Dinner: Dress Up Party: Dress Down
Night 6. Fetish Night
We have seen some outlandishly awesome outfits on our
past Fetish nights and we hope to see even more. Check out
the Fetish M&G scheduled tonight to meet other Kinky
Couples on board.
Day 7. White Night
Tonight is the first Formal Night and the most formal night
of the week. You do not have to wear a tux or a suit, but
there will be many that will. If you’d rather eat in the more
casual dining area (Island’s Cafe) you certainly can, but as
long as you are dressed nice, you won’t feel out of place.
We always save a simple, color theme for the last night and
tonight it is elegant all white. This will be a South Beach
meets Mexico night of sexy music and outfits.
After dressing up for dinner, we like to dress down for the
party, so the theme is Lingerie, Boxers & Briefs. This is one
sexy night for sure. Tonight less is more.
Remember, you only have to participate as much (or as little) as you like. But why not get into the spirit and have a
great time? After all, you are on vacation...
Ladies will wear everything from full length gowns to little
black dresses. They will be the highlight of the evening
(don’t forget to take pictures tonight!).
If you don’t have anything to wear, all three of our ports
will have lots of great options at the local stores, where
you’ll find beautiful light cotton clothing in shades of white
and off white.

to infuse our fluid partner acro and aerial arts with an erotic
edge.
Partner Acrobatics involves the intimate interaction and
balancing of bodies to achieve artful postures and

the flyer – each relying fully and harmoniously on the other
– is the foundation of the acrobatic art.

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 (in the cabinet) 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 5 next to the mid elevators, near Guest
Services. It will be open most 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.
19
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 in the playroom
you’ve never done before and then get up tomorrow and do
it all again! Life is short... Play hard!
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 3.
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 out further in the bay. 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 Celebrity 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 Mexican 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.
Playrooms
Speaking of great places to party, our Colette Playroom
will be open every night and during our sea days too! If
you want to get a sneak peak at our playrooms on the
first night, go to the The Crystal Room, on Deck 7 aft, at
9 pm for a free tour.
This is a great way to see the rooms before they have
anyone playing inside. If you were a little nervous about
going in, this is the perfect time to see what the playrooms are all about.
We also have a Dungeon, a Cinema & a Dark Room on
Deck 6 in the Conference Center & Card Rooms that will
be open for tours from 9 till 10 pm on the first day. Then
they will open at 10 pm every night for playtime fun.
There will also be free seminars on each sea day. Check
your Celebrity Today to get the times and the list of
seminars being offered.
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 Colette Playroom (The Crystal Room) located on
Deck 7, or in the Dungeon located in the Card Rooms on
Deck 6.
We believe strongly that there is a time and place for
having fun and there is a time and place for sexual activity. 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
almost 2,000 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 before 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?
Couples Cruise 2014
There are plenty of fish in the sea, please leave the ship’s
staff alone.
Specialty Restaurant: Murano’s
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 casual Island’s Cafe on
Deck 11 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 Murano’s, a fantastic restaurant that is one of the best we have ever tired at
sea. There is a cover charge for this restaurant, but it is
really worth it.
Photo Package Deal
One great part of our cruises is the professional photos that
you can take home. Every night, there will be booths set up
with different backgrounds where people can get their pictures taken while they are dressed up for dinner or in their
sexy theme night outfits/costumes.
You can get all of your pictures printed for one package
price. One of the best deals on board is the special Photo
package that will give you a printed copy of every photo
you’ve had taken onboard for $249.95 for unlimited prints,
$299.99 for all of your pictures on a CD and $449.99 for
both.
At first, that sounds like a lot, but think how much it would
cost to go to a professional photographer back home. Better
yet, think about what it would cost to show up at that same
photographer’s studio, every night, for 7 nights. Then, factor
in that you can get pictures taken in every port, at dinner, at
the theme parties and at any (or all) of the photo booths and
you still pay only one price.
Note: to get the most for your money, you need to make the
decision on the 1st day to make sure you take full advantage
of this opportunity and you get the most photos for your
money.
If you decide to get this package on the third day, or worse
yet, at the end of the cruise, it will cost a lot more, so head
to the Photo Studio and check out the special discount for
booking on day 1.
Best yet, this is a great chance to get plenty of recent pictures for AlreadyBooked.com, FaceBook or social websites
like SwingLifestyle.com, LifestyleLounge.com,
Kasidie.com, LoveVoodoo.com, and other lifestyle sites.

Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
Continued from page 20
Couples Cruise Playroom (The Crystal Room, Deck 7)
Normally, this lounge is used for ballroom dancing, Bingo
and oldies music, but this cruise The Crystal Room will be
transformed into a beautiful, private Colette Playroom for
you to explore and expand your own sexuality.
We will have music inside, but we are changing over the
playlist to Tantra music with an eastern, rhythmic flair. This
will be music to your ears once the people chime in with
their own sounds of pleasure. But you’ll just have to hear it
to believe it.
Special Tip #1: There are no street clothes allowed inside
the Colette Playroom. In order to enter, you must be wearing lingerie, a robe, a towel or something that is clearly not
street clothes. We’ve found that people standing around
fully dressed, do not set the proper mood. Couples that are
already dressed down are more apt to join in and have fun.
Special Tip #2: Go to the Ship’s Store to get your one of a
kind Couples Cruise robe. They are great for wearing in the
Island’s Cafe, so you don’t have to get dressed. The robes
are the perfect accessory for those heading to the Playroom.
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 underwear,
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.
Dungeon
We also have a Dungeon located in the Card Room on Deck
6, Even if BDSM is not your thing, stop in and check it out,
you may be surprised and like what you see. If you are more
curious, attend one of the classes and then check out the
demonstrations at night.
Spa Styling
22
After your exfoliation and 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...
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 paid for
their entire 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.
Cinema
Adam & Eve has sponsored our cinema (located on Deck 6
forward). We will be showing Adam & Eve movies
throughout the cruise at night, so stop in and see what’s
playing. This is the nicest cinema we have ever had on one
of our cruises.
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 NOT smoke in the Casino at all.
You can smoke on the Starboard side of deck 11 & 12. Not
sure which side is starboard? Look for the ashtrays.
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.
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. 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.
If you have tips for us that you’d like to see in our program,
sign in on AlreadyBooked.com and add your tip to one of
our forums. And you might be our “Tip of the Day” on our
next cruise.
Meet & Greets
Couples Cruise 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 Celebrity Today, in your cabin, and you
will see the list of Meet & Greets for your Travel Agent.
Here is a list of our themed 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 Sunset
Bar, Deck 11 aft, on certain days. You can watch the sun
set and meet other Spanish, French or German couples on
our sea days. There will be some great Latin music and
live bongos to entertain you.
Under 45 Meet & Greet
Are you 45 years or younger? Want to meet others in
your age range? Located in the Cova Cafe, Deck 6.
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. So
go to any Meet & Greet you want, and just have fun
while the Rhythm Kings play some great music for you.
Over 45 Meet & Greet
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 in the Martini Bar on Deck 7.
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 at Cova Cafe on our sea days, from 4 - 5 pm
on 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 Martini
Bar on sea days from 4:30 - 5:30 pm, on Deck 7.
Couples with a Hall Pass
Do you play separately? If so, stop in the Rendezvous
Lounge, Deck 6, from 2 - 3 pm, on Sea Days and find other
singles or Couples that can play separately and who
knows... you might find someone to have some fun with.
Nudist Meet & Greet
We will have some M&G’s four our nudist passengers at the
Mast Bar up on Deck 12, overlooking the main pool from 5
- 6 pm. The recommended attire is your birthday suit.
Friends of Bill W.
Newbies Meet & Greet
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.
We didn’t schedule them at the end of the cruise, because
you won’t be a newbie anymore.
Go say “Hi!”, it isn’t hard. If they aren’t very receptive, find
someone else to talk to, there are plenty of fish in the sea
(especially on a Couples Cruise!).
23
There will be several Meet & Greets for those looking for
mature couples in the Rendevouz Lounge, Deck 6. This
is a great place to socialize with all of the lights and
sounds of a great dance band.
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 Martini Bar on ,
Deck 7, the 1st couple of nights of the cruise.
Remember, successfully meeting people is going to be
determined by how much you smile and talk to others. We
have a great, friendly crowd on board all of our Couples
Cruise, but if you sit in the corner and wait for people to
approach you, you may be in for a disappointing cruise.
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 almost 1,000 couples, 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 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.
Couples Speed Dating will be held on all sea days at 10 am
for anyone and 11:30 am, which will host Under & Over 45
crowds (check the Celebrity Today to see which group is on
which days). Val & Todd, a great couple that has been
helping us in the past, will be hosting these sessions in the
Hemispheres Lounge, up on Deck 12.
Naked Speed Dating
Want to know even more about a couple? At Naked Speed
Dating, there isn’t much that you won’t know at the end of
this sexy hour.
It’s amazing how equal everyone becomes when there are
no clothes to give you an impression, you are left with only
the individual person to get to know.
We will have this class in the Crystal Room, Deck 7. We
will even have an Under and Over 45 sessions for those of
you looking for couples in their age range.
Royce & Cheryl, our erotic massage specialists will be
hosting these Naked Speed Dating sessions and leading you
on the speed dating experience.
