Brilliance of the Seas
Southern Caribbean Tour
The World’s Best Couples Only, Adult Cruises
Welcome Aboard!
It’s time to go south on one of our favorite itineraries. The
Southern Caribbean is a fantastic destination that we only get a
chance to visit every five or more years. I’m glad you decided to
join us!
Aruba, Curacao, St. Kitts and St. Maarten; what a great group of
islands to visit. There are so many great excursions and opportunities for a great cruise experience.
This isn’t your “everyday, vanilla” cruise. We have extended bar
hours, great adult entertainment and best yet ... no kids! Many
experienced cruisers will appreciate the added amenities on
board but the first time cruisers will really benefit from reading
this program.
This program contains rules, tips and things that will help make
this cruise even more enjoyable for you both. We know this ship
forwards and backwards. We spent a lot of time putting together
a great schedule of events, meet & greets and entertainment.
This program is your key to knowing what is going on.
In addition to this program, there will be signs posted at the
Windjammer Cafe and in the Centrum which will have each
day’s schedule and themes printed.
There is also a daily Couples Cruise Compass that will be put in
your stateroom the night before so you can see what is scheduled for tomorrow’s activities and entertainment. The Couples
Cruise Compass also lists all of the open hours for each venue
on board the ship.
Please take a few minutes and read this program cover to cover
and you will have a great head start to your Couples Cruise
vacation.
Your Hosts,
Bob & Tess & Wayne

Couples Cruise 2013 Guidelines
Please help us ensure everyone has the best possible time by abiding by all of our (and Royal Caribbean’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 Brilliance of the Seas 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 Topless Travel Lounge (Viking
Crown Lounge / StarQuest). Please note that you cannot
go nude in any elevator. You must be covered. No nudity
is allowed in the restaurants, casino, shops, Centrum,
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 Couples Cruise Play Area
(The Colony Club), 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: 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 security to be reviewed. Inappropriate photos
will be deleted at the discretion of the security 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. No smoking is permitted in any cabin. Smoking
is permitted on your balcony and other designated areas
throughout the ship. Please note that RCL 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 Windjammer Cafe and
have lunch or go to the pool and relax or grab a drink at
one of the 14 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 Royal Caribbean and most cruise
ships. The cabin attendants need time to get all 1,100
cabins cleaned and ready for us and the passengers from
the last cruise typically do not finish leaving the ship
until around 10:00 am on the day we sail.
All Inclusive Drink Packages
We now have the option of all inclusive drink packages
on board! You can buy a soda package, a water package,
a beer, wine and soda package or the Big Kahuna
Package, which allows you to drink just about everything
you want on board the ship.
For $55 per person, per day, you don’t have to worry
about your bar bill anymore. You can drink lots of premium liquors, wine, beer and even sodas for one price.
On our last cruise, over a third of our passengers got this
package, and most thought it was a good deal. One
caveat is that both passengers in each cabin have to get it.
So if one of you is a heavy drinker, but the other is not, it
might not make sense for you.
Safety at Sea
One very important issue for Couples Cruise and Royal
Caribbean 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
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.
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
I hate to have to bring this up. It’s already mentioned on our
rules form, but I want to bring it up again. Couples Cruise
and Royal Caribbean has a “Zero Tolerance” rule for all
illegal drugs.
The main reason we have had to kick people off of our
cruises (and there has been a few) is because of drugs.
People have complained about their neighbors smoking pot
on their balconies, drugs have been seen by Royal
Caribbean 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. I haven’t been in an Aruba
or a St. Kitts jail, but I know that I never want to find out
what they are like.
Seminars
We have lots of great seminars planned for the week. You
can find a list of seminars in the Daily Compass which
will come out each evening and is delivered to your
stateroom to let you know what’s in store for the next day.
Most of our “hands-on” seminars are located in the playroom on Deck 6 in The Colony Club. These are usually
seminars on couples and group massages and our popular
new “Naked Speed Dating”.
Our BDSM classes will be located in our Dungeon area on
Deck 5 in the Conference Center. Some of these will be lectures and some will be demonstrations.
There will be some additional lectures in the main theater
and in the cinema as well. The times and locations in the
Daily Compass will be the final word as things may change
between now and then.

Welcome Aboard the Couples Cruise
Booking Excursions
If you haven’t already booked an excursion in one of our
ports, you should do it on the first day. There are a lot of
excursions to choose from with this many ports, so many
of the best excursions will sell out quickly.
You can also book excursions in your room on your TV
and if you book them before 3 pm, your tickets will be
delivered to your cabin that evening.
Specialty Restaurants
Not only are there two fabulous specialty restaurants
open each evening, but Chops (the ship’s signature
Steakhouse) is open for lunch for just $15. This is our
favorite place to eat onboard, the food is awesome and
the service is always great. The dinners are $30 per person, but the steaks are definitely worth it.
There is also an Italian restaurant (Portofino’s) that is a
real crowd pleaser and a good deal at $20 per person.
Dressing for the Playrooms
What do we 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:
For the Couples Cruise Playroom (on Deck 6 in The
Colony Club), you cannot be in street clothes to enter.
This means that you need to be in a robe, a towel, lingerie, boxers or briefs, pajamas or something so sexy that
our staff will waive 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.
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.
4
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, carrying your clothes.
Don’t have any underwear? Ask for a towel at the door
and we will give you one to wrap around yourself.
Nudity Rules
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.
Where you Can be Naked:
You can let it all hang out in these areas, but there are no
sexual activities allowed in any public areas.
On the Main Pool Deck (Deck 11)
In the Solarium (Deck 11)
On the Sun Decks (Decks 11, 12,)
In the Cabin Hallways
In the Couples Cruise Play Area (The Colony Club)
On your balcony (when not in port)
Where you Can’t be Naked:
There is a time and place for everything, but these places
are not the ones for nudity.
On the Rock Climbing Wall
On Tenders coming & going to the Ports
On your balcony or any sundecks when in port
In the Elevators
In any Restaurants, Bars or Dining Rooms
In the Gym or Spa
Where you Can be Topless:
You can’t be naked in these areas, but you can be topless.
In the Nightclub (StarQuest on Deck 13)
Hollywood Odyssey (Deck 13)
In port, most islands require all passengers to be properly
clothed. This changes from island to island, but for the most
part, we cannot have clothing optional pools while in port.
From time to time, the local authorities will give us the
green light, but this depends on whether or not there is a
ship right next to us, which authorities are still on the ship
and how easy it is to see onto the ship from shore.
If we are given the green light, we will make an announcement. If you are not sure, just ask someone on our staff and
they will check to see if it has been cleared.

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.
July 10th-14th, 2013
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
For the past decade, sometimes size does matter
Best Bang for your Buck
Compare us to any other convention
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!
Only Swinger Parade
Where else can you march down the street
with a bunch of swingers behind a marching
band and 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
We have been on this itinerary twice before,
but we are looking forward to our third.
When you visit an island for one short day,
it’s hard to see and do everything, which
leaves us wanting to come back again and
again.
80’s Night on th
e
Jewel of the S
eas
In Aruba, we have gone snorkeling and
also just laid by the beach. This time, we
think we are going to go on a Jeep tour
of the island. In Curacao, we are gong on
an early excursion and then we are going
back to Campo Alegre in the afternoon.
If you don’t know what that is, just read
my article later on in the program.
St. Kitts is somewhere we have never
been, but we look forward to exploring
for the first time. We have been to St.
Maarten many times (and hope to go back again and again).
Normally, we just go to Orient Beach, but this year, we are
thinking of booking the America’s Cup Racing Experience.
If you can’t decide on what you want to do in each port,
stop by the Excursions Desk, they know all of the tours and
have the inside track on the best excursions.
One thing we wanted to discuss in this cruise’s Bob & Tess’
Corner, was that life is too short. Last year, we lost Bob’s
mom and several friends of ours. We guess the older you
get, the more this will happen year in and year out. But this
year really made us make a conscious decision to really
enjoy our lives, as best we can.
The one thing we hear all the time from our Couples
Cruise passengers is “This is the first vacation we have
taken in (fill in the blank) years”. The numbers vary but
people have been working for 4, 5, even 10 years without
taking time off to
relax, have fun and
reward themselves
for all of their hard
work.
There is always a
reason not to vacation: We’re waiting
until the kids are out
of school, out of college, as soon as I get
that promotion, when
I pay off my house,
when I hit the
lottery, when the
economy picks up,
when I lose 20 lbs,
when I retire... When
you retire? Are you
really going to wait that
long before you treat
yourself to a vacation?
Of course, we want you to book all of our cruises, but even
if you can’t, take a weekend off once in a while. Take a
short trip; plan a longer one. Take time for you and your
partner and your life will be so much happier and healthy.
Now go book a massage and start the cruise off right!
Your hosts,
Mardi Gras

Wayne’s Corner
Hi Everyone - This custom made Southern itinerary, is probably the most anticipated cruise that Couples Cruise has put
together. These interesting ports supply lots of sun and great
eye candy and we believe some of the best destinations for
lifestyle couples in the Southern Caribbean. Put together all
for you, as our latest Full Ship Charter.
So, how do we go about deciding on a custom itinerary
and what's involved? I'm sure everyone who has cruised,
has at one point had the ideal itinerary in their mind. We
too have your favorites in mind when we choose. First of
all, we look for those one or two key ports that will really
capture our customers’ interest.
On a Couples Cruise, we really pay serious attention also to
the distance between ports. Why? We no longer want to be
at top speed, just to get to the next port. Our night life on
the pool deck is important to our couples - too fast and
ladies hairdos are ruined in the wind.
Plus, it makes it more difficult to dance in those high heel
shoes! We all remember the Belize Charter in April 2011
with a long distance between Belize and Cozumel; we were
rocking and not just because of what was happening in the
playrooms. So, an easy comfortable speed is now around 16
Knots, so we choose ports that will fit together with this in
mind.
There are so many great excursions available from the
Shore Excursions Desk (located on Deck 4). Explore and
learn as much as you can about these islands. Our first two
ports Curacao and Aruba are part of the Netherland Antilles
and are often referred to as the ABC Islands (along with
Bonaire) you may recognize Dutch accents. Interesting
fact: Aruba is just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela! The
heritage is also brought through in the great beer brewed
on the islands – you have to try the local beer!
Only on the first sea day, Day 2, Chops will be open for
lunch 12:00 Noon - 2 pm. Join Haiyan & myself, and lets
have lunch together, you maybe even learn some Chinese.
We will be encouraging couples to walk around this small
intimate dining room and work the crowd. This is a great
way to meet a lot of interesting couples, so bring your cards,
you’ll will be glad you did. Note, we only have room for 70
couples so be sure to make a reservation as soon as you
get on the ship or come early.
Remember you cannot wear street clothes into the play
areas, so be sure to get your Couples Cruise robes in the
gift shops or on the pool deck. Plus, they will be great to
wear around your hot tub at home.
Were you aware that you can now be legally married at sea
by the Captain? Yes, starting this January this is now a
reality. You can even renew your vows. What a way to
celebrate in front of all your friends on a Couples Cruise.
My partner Bob and I have both been amazed on our first 5
charters, how many new couples to both cruising and our
Couples Cruises. It is nice to see on this charter that we
have more than 60% of the ship as repeaters with our brand.
Great to have you back.
Please check out all the Meet & Greets in the back of this
program and see what particular interests you have in the
lifestyle and then meet a number of like minded couples at
these short Meet & Greets.
Finally, please drop by the Couples Cruise desk on Deck 5
and learn about our new Loyalty Program designed just for
you on our upcoming Brilliance Charter next January 2014.
We want to reward our repeat clients as we greatly value
your support.
Happy Cruising - - Wayne & Haiyan
Some of our highlighted excursions are
listed in this program (starting on page
16), but there are lots more located at the
Shore Excursion Desk on deck 4.
For the first timers (Newbies), we have
dedicated a special seminar for you on the
first day and several daily Meet & Greets,
just for you. This seminar will help you
learn all about our beautiful ship.
This is a great opportunity for you to meet
other new couples through speed dating
classes that will help you meet other
couples.
Don’t forget to check out the Speed Dating
as well, held throughout the cruise. Our
goal is to make your cruise so successful
that you will want to come back for more.
Wayne & Haiyan

Getting to know the Brilliance of the Seas
This is a beautiful cruise ship, with many great places to
see and enjoy, but it takes a couple of days to get acclimated, unless you have an easy guide to the best places
onboard. Look over the following descriptions of some of
the great places onboard that make up the Brilliance of
the Seas, deck by deck.
Deck 4
Deck 4 is one of the main hubs of the ship and most of
that activity revolves around the seven story Centrum
which is where you will find Guest Relations, Shore
Excursions, the Centrum Bar & the Main Dining Room.
TheSwingerCruise.com Centrum
For this cruise, the Centrum will be renamed
TheSwingerCruise.com Centrum, sponsored by
TheSwingerCruise.com. One of the most popular bars is
located right on the Centrum and there will be Newbie
Meet & Greets, live music, art auctions and much more
going on in this area of the ship.
open every day to help you book future cruises and
answer any of your questions.
Castaways Travel Cafe Latte-tudes
This is one of our hidden gems. A quiet place to sit and
read or check your email and best of all: Free cookies
and treats! You might see Minx getting a triple soy venti
something or another with an extra shot at the coffee bar.
Something many people don’t know about is that this
coffee bar also is a full service bar. When the Centrum
Bar is packed, you can always walk up and grab a quick
drink without waiting (maybe not anymore now that I am
letting the secret out!).
This is a great meeting spot before dinner and a great
place to hear live music every day and night. We will
have classical piano and strings playing during most
days, a great Jazz and Blues duo straight from New
Orleans headed up by the great Luther Kent and a fun
party band that will get you dancing until late in the
Castaways Travel is hosting Cafe Latte-tudes throughout
the cruise. Stop by and say hi to them!
Shops & Photos
There are lots of great shops on deck 5 including my
favorite: the Watch Shop. There is always a big sale on
watches and anything under $1,600 is tax free.
The liquor store has great prices. Note: If you buy liquor
onboard, you won’t get it until you leave the ship.
night.
You will also find our signature 70’s Disco Party and
“The Quest”, a game show you do not want to miss!
Deck 5
There is a lot to see and do on deck 5. The Couples
Cruise help desk is located just off the Centrum and is
10
If you really want to impress your wife or your girlfriend,
check out the jewelry section. Nothing guarantees a good
night in the playroom like a gift from the ship’s shops!
They really do have good prices, especially because they
are tax and duty free.
Just past the shops is where the Photo Department is
located. Your pictures will be on display every night for
you to choose, or just get them all on the all inclusive CD
package (a great value for those that want to get lots of
pictures for one price).
Getting to know the Brilliance of the Seas
The Dungeon (continued from deck 5)
The Dungeon is a little tricky to find. It is located on the
side of the Photo area, in the Conference Center. There
will be classes during the day on sea days and open play
every night.
This is what the Conference Center normally looks like:
Deck 6
Deck 6 is our favorite deck. This is where the Schooner
Bar, the Casino, the Playrooms and the Specialty Dining
Restaurants (Chops & Portofino’s) are all located.
Right Connections Schooner Bar
This is one of Tess’ and my favorite places to hang out,
especially right after dinner and before we head to the
nightclub.
Right Connections Travel will be hosting the Schooner
Bar throughout the cruise, which will feature some of the
best piano players in the country, flown in just for our
Couples Cruise. They will be playing their “adult version” throughout the week.
But every evening couples come in to watch different
scenes and there is additional equipment that you can use
to explore your own personal boundaries. We think the
Conference Center looks much better like this:
This is also where the Specialty Dining Restaurants are
located. You can stop by to make dinner reservations or
just call 3340 for Chops and 3341 for Portofino’s to get
more details. You can also pop into Chops for lunch,
without a reservation, on sea days for just $15.
The Couples Cruise Playroom
Normally, the The Colony Club is used for Bingo, some
game shows and at night, they have live bands and dancing. This week, however, we are transforming this venue
into something special. This is how the The Colony Club
looks on most cruises:
Yes, now that is much better. Whether you are really into
BDSM or just curious, our Dungeon was specifically
designed for newcomers and people just checking out the
scene. We keep it fairly soft and sensual, but later in the
night, it can get more intense.

Getting to know the Brilliance of the Seas
Deck 6 (continued)
On this cruise, it is our Couples Cruise Playroom, a place
where you can sit back and take it all in or jump right in
and participate. We take pride in producing the most sensuous and inviting playrooms anywhere. No one else
creates this kind of atmosphere for couples.
Here is what the The Colony Club will look like this
cruise:
It’s quite a transformation. You can see for yourself on
the first day, we will have a “Sneak Preview Tour” from
9 pm till 10 pm and then we will open it up for everyone
to enjoy.
Tom’s Trips Scoreboard Sports Bar
The Scoreboard Sports Bar was my personal favorite bar
on board when we recently sailed for our site inspection
Normally it is a venue that gets very little use.
Tom’s Trips will be transforming this bar into Tom’s
Trips Scoreboard Sports Bar with nightly entertainment
so there will be a lively crowd here every night.
My favorite entertainer, Mark Maze, will be hosting a
Karaoke & Variety Show each night, throwing in a little
magic, comedy and good times. This is a great place to
hang out after dinner and before the late night parties
really get going.
Erotic Adult Travel Champagne Bar
The Casino
Of course, the Casino is the place where you can try your
luck at Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, Craps and of course,
the slut machines, I mean, slot machines.
But there is another important area, located inside the
Casino that you need to know about: the Casino Bar.
This is a great place for a couple of reasons:
1. There is a great energy because of the Casino location.
2. There are nightly tournaments with BIG prizes!
3. This is another bar that is usually a great place to get
drinks quickly.
The Champagne Bar is always popular, not only because
people love champagne, but this is the best bar to get
Martinis too. Be a gentleman and buy your lady a nice
martini. Guys, trust me, you’ll be glad you did.
We also love this area because you can hear the band
below, you can see who is coming and going into the
Schooner Bar (and the Playrooms), and you are right next
to the casino. It’s one of the best places on the ship to
relax, have a nice drink and people watch.
After all, I am a voyeur... See you at the Champagne Bar!

Getting to know the Brilliance of the Seas
Deck 11
A Couples Cruise would not be a Couples Cruise if not
for one important place. The Pool Decks!
Deck 12
Deck 12 is where our sun worshippers hang out. It’s
easier to get a deck chair and it is quieter than right next
to the main pool.
The Main Pool
The pool is the heart and soul of our cruise. Whether you
want to wear a sexy bikini, go topless or get butt naked,
you have that freedom on a Couples Cruise.
We will have daytime pool parties, a nighttime Dancing
Under the Stars party, contests, DJ’s, line dancing and
plenty of friendships being forged around the main pool.
Solarium
The Solarium is the “Adults Only” sanctuary on a normal
cruise. Of course, all Couples Cruises are Adults Only, so
there is no need for a special place for adults, so we use
this space as a quiet sanctuary.
Seaview Cafe
Another little secret is the Seaview Cafe on Deck 12.
There is food all over the ship, but from 10 pm to midnight most of the restaurants are closed except for the
Seaview Cafe. They have sandwiches (try the Cuban),
chicken wings and fingers, hamburgers and other exceptionally healthy snack foods.
The Windjammer Cafe will reopen at midnight until 4
am, for those looking for a late night food fix.
Deck 13
This is party central. Whether you are looking to dance to
the latest hits or show your Latin dance moves, this is
where all of the late night parties are going to be held and
this is where some of the larger Meet & Greets will be.
Lifestyle Lounge Hollywood Odyssey
This will be our Latin nightclub for the cruise. We have a
great Latin band playing live music nightly until the wee
hours of the morning.
This is also the only place to buy and smoke cigars
onboard. There is a great assortment of cognacs and other
spirits available as well.
This is a truly beautiful area and is the best Solarium of
any Royal Caribbean cruise ship. This is where we go to
soak in the hot tub; in fact, I am writing this on our site
inspection and I think I’m gonna take a break and go
soak in the hot tub right now.....
Ah, that was nice ... O.K., now back to work.
14
Deck 13 (continued)
Topless Travel Viking Crown Lounge/StarQuest
The hottest room on the ship will be the late night parties
in the disco. Topless Travel sold more cabins than any
travel agent on board, so what better place for them to
sponsor than the ship’s nightclub.
We have scheduled Couples Speed Dating on both of the
sea days in this venue at 10 am and at noon. This is a
great way to quickly meet a lot of couples to see if you
think you will be compatible.
Each night you can dance the night away to some of your
favorite music. We will switch the DJ each night at12:30
am for 2 fun dance parties
.
Now that you know the ship better, go change into
something sexy and let’s get the party started...

Couples Cruise Excursions
We are only going to highlight a couple of excursions from each
port that our staff personally picked, but there are many more
excursions in each port. You can either stop by the Excursion
Desk on Deck 4 or sign up right on your TV in your cabin.
Williamstad, Curacao
Campo Alegre: Note: This is not an excursion
Campo Alegre is an adult resort in many ways. There is a strip
club with male and female exotic dancers that will make your
strip clubs back home look tame. There is a restaurant, cigar bar,
sexy clothes shop, a couple of bars and the ladies can go topless!
The attraction here is not the facility (average at best) or being
able to run around topless (although that is nice), it is that this is
a legal Dutch Brothel (yep, that’s right) and there is a lot to buy
here besides drinks, food and clothing.
Note: Royal Caribbean decided not to offer this as an excursion,
because of the “adult nature of the resort. If you want to go,
you’ll just have to grab a taxi and go on your own, we are only
listing it here for informational purposes and are not offering this
as a Couples Cruise tour.
We get into the Georgetown early in the morning, you should get
up early and get out there to experience as much as you can. We
have arranged a number of great opportunities which include:
Fun Beach Express, Sightseeing & Snorkel - CU55: Travel to
the west side of Curacao on a one-of-a-kind, hand painted
Tropical Bus. The Beach Express takes you to the “other side”
of the island where nature reigns and beaches are unspoiled.
After a fun and relaxing ride, enjoy swimming in the beautiful
Caribbean waters, snorkeling or just relaxing.
Sea and See Island Tour - CU22: The See & Sea combines the
underwater world, without getting wet aboard of the Seaworld

Choose to stay in town at the end of the tour or return back to
your ship. Guests will have to be able to navigate 9 steps into

Sofat to board the snorkel vessel. Sail through the Spanish
Waters to Caracas Bay, one of the best snorkeling sites of
Curacao, The Sunken Tugboat.
As the boat dances on the waves at the sunken tugboat site, you
can swim and snorkel or, simply relax on the boat. You will no

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 will clog the system.
We are putting 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 5 next to the Centrum elevators.
If you have a question that pertains to the ship, go to
Guest Services on Deck 4, our Help Desk is just for
Couples Cruise questions.
18
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, with the exception of the sports area on deck
13. 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 many condos 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 I
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 Royal Caribbean 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 I 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
foreign country’s jail.
Playrooms
Speaking of great places to party, our Couples Cruise
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 Colony Club, on deck 6 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 on deck 5 (forward) that will be
open for tours from 9 pm till 10 pm on the first day. Then it
will open at 10 pm every night for playtime fun.
There will also be free seminars on each sea day. Check
your Compass to get the times and the list of seminars
being offered.
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!
Proper Etiquette
Now that you are ready to go wild, I 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 I won’t go over them again here, I’ll
just say that you had better read them and be responsible
for your behavior (and your partner’s behavior).
Couples Cruise 2013
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 I 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
Couples Cruise Playroom (The Colony Club) located on the
6th Deck, or in the dungeon located in the Conference
Center on Deck 5.
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., I’m not even going there...
Another important thing I must point out: there are over
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. I 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.

Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
Continue from Page 19
I understand that most of the ship’s staff is hot, I 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. O.K., now back to the fun stuff.
Photo CD Deal
One great part of our cruises are 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 your pictures printed or even burned to a CD.
One of the best deals on board is the special Photo CD
package that will give you a copy of every photo you’ve
had taken onboard for $299.
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.
Of course, 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.
Best yet, this is a great chance to get plenty of recent pictures for AlreadyBooked.com, FaceBook or social websites.
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
20
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.
Camera Wristbands
We do have a professional photographer on board (his name
is Steve) to take pictures of the cruise, but only of those
people that sign a model release. If you don’t mind being on
our website and marketing materials (flyers, hand outs, banners, etc.), then fill out one of our model releases and you
will get a bright yellow wristband.
The great thing about using wristbands is that you can wear
them when you are ready for photos and take them off when
you don’t feel like being photographed.
We will take some super slow shutter speed photos at the
parties to show the size and vibe of the party while allowing
the motion of the dancing to be captured. Don’t worry, if
you see Steve taking a photo of the pool deck or one of the
theme parties, we will not use any of the pictures where
anyone is recognizable.
If you have a model release wristband, look for Steve at our
parties and make sure you get your picture taken. It will
help us reach more people like us that don’t know what a
Couples Cruise looks like and they need these types of pictures to help them decide to join us on a future cruise.
We are looking for a couple of fun couples who will sign up
for a private photo shoot that really represents our brand.
So, if you are not camera shy and would like to be on our
next Couples Cruise cover, please call cabin 3640 and talk
to Steve for more info. If he isn’t in when you call, just
leave a message with your names and stateroom so he can
get in touch with you.
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, with no underwear, please sit
on a towel.
Note: Our staff will have towels available at the entrance to
all of the dining venues, so you won’t have to bring one
with you.

Scott Record
Couples Cruise Entertainers
Scott performed for us on the Freedom of the Seas to a
standing ovation. One of the best impressionists in the business, he is a true top talent that has to be seen (I mean
heard) to be believed. After a great day in St. Kitts, stop in
for Scott’s show and be amazed!
Discovered by Rodney Dangerfield, he opened up for him
on the road and also worked with Ann Margaret, Bob Hope,
Frank Sinatra, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Cher, Huey Lewis
and many more.
Duo Free Action
This stunning couple mixes beautiful dance with breathtaking acrobatic skills and innovative choreography. Their
show includes balance, high flying aerial work and seductive synergy that will be featured in our Farewell Show.
Sergey and Valentyna, from the Ukraine will entertain all
those Cirque.du Soleil fans.

Each night in TheSwingerCruise.com Centrum, Luther Kent
and Bruce Elsensohn will delight you with a duo that is one
of our favorites of all time.
Luther is in the Blues Hall of fame and sings classic hits,
standards and jazz. If you like to dance close, then stop by
each evening for a sexy but powerful voice that will have
you coming back for more.
Mark Maze
Mark Maze offers a captivating combination of visual comedy and quick wit in every performance. Whether he is performing his comedy sleight of hand, hypnosis, game shows,
karaoke, or MC; one thing is certain, it is going to be funny.
In every performance, members of the audience are invited
to join Mark on stage. This always results in some very
funny and unscripted comedy. The audience is the star of
the show.

world-class entertainer with an electrifying personality. His
extraordinary showmanship always leaves audiences with a
memorable entertainment experience. Mark will be hosting
the hilarious Dong Show, and he will be hosting many popular Karaoke and Variety shows in the Scoreboard Sports
Bar (Deck 6) sponsored by Tom’s Trips.
Piano Players
We were at Howl at the Moon one night and we thought
“Man, these guys would be great on a Couples Cruise”. So
we hired them. This cruise, we have a couple of great new
guys that are going to entertain you.
Our Adult Piano Shows have been the hit on our Couples
Cruises, ever since. If you like dueling piano bars, fun adult
humor and a rocking good time, stop by the Right
Connections Schooner Bar and check out the guys from
Howl at the Moon’s from all over the country. These guys
really know how to put on a great show. It will be open till
the wee hours.
Dan Grueter
Appearances on the Late Late Show (CBS) Friday Night
(NBC) numerous cable shows such as FunnyMoney
(Gameshow Network) Comicview (BET) and the syndicated
morning radio program The Bob and Tom Show have made
Dan one of the most popular comedians touring today, we
just loved his audition tape and knew that we had to have
this guy onboard our Couples Cruise..
Angelo Tsarouchas
Angelo is an internationally known stand-up comic with television specials in Canada, USA, and The UK. He has
toured extensively throughout the world, making him one of
the most requested comics year round.

Scenes from past Couples Cruises
Couples Cruise Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice
Continued from page 20
Couples Cruise Playroom (The Colony Club Deck 6)
Normally, this lounge is used for ballroom dancing, Bingo
and oldies music, but this cruise the The Colony Club will
be transformed into a beautiful, private Couples Cruise
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 Couples Cruise 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
Windjammer Cafe so you don’t have to get dressed. The
robes are the perfect accessory for those heading to the
Playroom.
Chocolate Room
On board a Couples Cruise, we have many different fetishes
and sexual variety. Inside our Couples Cruise Playroom is a
special room called the “Chocolate Room”. This is a room
specifically for those into interracial encounters.
Dungeon
We also have a dungeon located on deck 5, in the
Conference Center near the Photo Center. Even if BDSM is
not your thing, stop in and check it out, you may be surprised and like what you see.
Steam Room
On a Couples Cruise, the Saunas and Steam Rooms by the
Spa are co-ed. What does that mean? Instead of having separate Men’s and a Women’s showers and locker rooms at the
Spa, we have gotten permission to make them co-ed for the
cruise from 10 am until 10 pm.
As already mentioned in the rules earlier, this is not a place
where sexual activity is allowed, but it can be a great place
to indulge in some extra special Spa treatments with your
partners or even another couple.
Spa Styling
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! There are 84 brand new slot
machines that are just like going into the newest casino on
the Vegas strip.
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.
Not only does the casino have all of the popular card games
and tables, but they are putting a Blackjack and a Poker
table on the pool deck for us. I’m trying to figure out how
we can play strip poker when everyone is already naked!
Special Salad
If you want a really nice lunch, try the main dining room on
our sea days. They always have a very nice salad bar with
lots of different types of greens, a wide variety of veggies,
cheeses, shrimp, chicken, prosciutto, and a good variety of
salad dressings.
There is a full lunch menu, in addition to the salad bar, but
Tess and I usually make the salad our meal because there
are so many good choices.
Steak Lunch
If you REALLY want a great lunch, try Chops for a change.
You can eat like a king for just $15. This is a nice treat on
the sea days only.
Ice Cream Float
Steve’s Tip of the Day: If you have a soda card, bring your
cup over to the soft serve ice cream machine, then have it
topped off with soda and you’ll have a great ice cream
float. Perfect for a day sitting in the sun by the pool.
Tip#2: Share with a new (or nude) friend!
Well, that’s it for our Tips, Hints and Helpful Advice. Now
it is up to you, go have the Cruise of your Lifetime!

Couples Cruise Article
Being Outed on a “Lifestyle” Vacation
A common subject comes up when we talk to people booking
our cruise: “We can’t have any of our family/work/friends
know that we are on this cruise.”
It was the same thing when we were putting trips together
for Hedo or Desire. People would go as far as to walk next
door to Sandals to take a picture of themselves by their sign
so they would have photos to show at home or post on
FaceBook.
I even met a couple on a “vanilla” cruise once that said they
had been to Jamaica over 20 times and when I asked them
which resort they usually stayed at, he said Breezes and she
said Beaches at almost the same time.
Later on I asked them “I can’t remember, how many times
have you guys been to Hedo?” and their faces turned to complete shock. “How did you know?” they asked. Well, I
explained that anyone that has been to Jamaica over 20 years
and couldn’t remember the name of the resort that they stayed
at was covering up. Plus, they looked the part.
It was easy for me to spot these Hedo regulars, but what
about your family? What do you tell them when you go on a
“lifestyle vacation”. Most of you simply give another resort
name or another cruise ship, but what if that doesn’t work?
Recently, a couple on one of our charters told their family
that they would be on another cruise line, cleverly, they did
their research and picked a ship that was going to the exact
same ports as we were (very clever). That way, their pictures
would line up with the itinerary they had and they could walk
over to the other ship and take pictures of themselves in front
of the other ship to post on FaceBook.
Good planning, and it almost worked. Right up until someone
in their family called the cruise line to buy a surprise bottle of
champagne for their siblings. Whoops! Guess what happened? Yep, their family found out that they were on a
Couples Cruise and when confronted, they panicked.
Couples Only, Adults Only (no kids!), Clothing Optional
Cruise. That is a lot easier to explain than saying that you
were on a “Swingers Cruise.”
If you are caught off guard, you will freeze or over react or
blush or something that will give you away and show them
that you are embarrassed. Therefore, you might as well be
guilty as charged.
However, if you plan for this and if it ever does come up you
can simply say : “Yep, we went on one of those Couples
Cruises, some friends recommended it because there were no
kids onboard and it was really a lot of fun. We were worried
that it was going to be really crazy, but it was actually a lot
more tame than we thought. It was like a Fantasy Fest at sea.”
Now, what is there to be embarrassed about an answer like
that? How can they use that against you in any way without
looking like a stick in the mud?
But what if they say “We heard it was a “Swingers Cruise”!
Just tell the truth (it will set you free). Tell them that you
heard that there were swingers on board, but no one
approached you. You also knew that there was a playroom
somewhere but you didn’t go (O.K., maybe that isn’t the
truth) but that they had strict rules of no sexual activity of any
kind in public.
Most people would have no problem saying that they went to
Mardi Gras or Fantasy Fest, so why is it so controversial to
say that you were on a Couples Cruise?
Even if you booked with a company that specializes in
“Swinger Travel” like TheSwingerCruise.com,
SwingLifestyle or SwingersCruise.com, you can always point
them to the Couples Cruise site (www.CouplesCruise.com)
and they will see a fairly generic site without any nudity and
clearly states that this is not a “swingers cruise”.
When all else fails... Use the Shaggy defense
“It wasn’t me”
Our advise it to have a plan ready in case someone finds out.
Our suggestion is to tell the truth. I know what you are thinking: “We can NEVER tell our family/friends/co-workers that
we are on a Couples Cruise!” But why not?
If you still can’t swallow the fact that someone close to you
would know that you were on one of our cruises, then simply
use the Shaggy defense: “It wasn’t me”. Even if they say they
saw a picture of you on the ship: “It wasn’t me”, If they
found an email somehow with your confirmation letter for the
cruise: “It wasn’t me”.
Couples Cruises can be many things, but at our core, we are a
If you are prepared, have a good story and you stick with it,
you will have nothing to worry about.
You need a plan
Even though some of our travel agents sell our cruises as a
“Swinger Cruise”, that’s really not who we are. We do have
swingers on board, and nudists, and Republicans, Democrats,
Protestants, Boy Scout Leaders, Military, Firemen, Teachers,
Doctors and Nurses and on and on.
24
Deny, deny, deny and eventually, they will forget about it and
move on. Trust me, the world will not end if someone finds
out you were on a cruise with no kids that had a topless pool
and you think some people did naughty things behind closed
doors (but heaven’s not you).

New: Couples Cruise
Loyalty Program
Get up to a $600 On Board Credit!
We want to Reward our Loyal Customers
Wayne and I were sitting around the other day discussing how long we’ve been putting cruises together.
Wayne put together his first group back in 2004, an
Alaskan Cruise with 65 couples.
Castaways Travel set up a cruise, that same year, out
of New Orleans to coincide with our Naughty in N’awlins
convention, which we helped promote and we went on
as a host couple.
Fast forward almost 10 years and Wayne and I have
come together to produce 12 cruises, with over 4,600
couples. In the next couple of years, Couples Cruise
has 3 charters already scheduled and over 7,500 couples (that’s 15,000 people!) on board.
As we thought about where we came from and where
we are going, we both agreed that we couldn’t appreciate our customers more. That is when we came up with
the idea of showing our appreciation by giving a little
back to our best customers.
After a little thought (and a couple of beers) we decided
to mark our 10th year with a special Customer
Appreciation Reward Program.
26
We have been members of Southwest Airlines, Royal
Caribbean Cruise Lines, Intercontinental Hotels and
Avis Car Rental’s loyalty program, to name a few. I get
perks when I book my travel through them and occasionally, we get discounts, rewards and benefits. It’s
time Couples Cruise recognizes their loyal customers
and offer our own rewards.
In 2014, we are having our 10th Anniversary when
we sail on the Brilliance of the Seas. To mark this
anniversary, we will have a special reward for our
past customers.
Depending on how many Couples Cruises you have
been on, we will put an onboard credit on your Sea
Pass Account. The bigger the cabin, the bigger the
credit. You could earn anywhere from $50 to $600!
You can use your onboard credit for a spa treatment,
dinner at a specialty restaurant or shopping in the
Shops Onboard. You can use it to book excursions or
go to the Casino Royale. The On Board Credits can
help pay for your bar tab and the best part, if you don’t
spend it on board, you will get it as cash at the end of
the cruise.
This is our way of saying “Thank You” to our loyal
customers.
A Very Special Deal
Here’s the breakdown for our Reward Program on the
January 2014 sailing on the Brilliance of the Seas.:
$600 to Spend on Board when you book a Suite with
three prior Couples Cruises
$300 to Spend on Board when you book a Suite with
two prior Couples Cruises
$150 to Spend on Board when you book a Suite
with one prior Couples Cruises
Couples Cruise 2013
Other Special Rewards
Free Robes!
We have several couples that have been on all five of
our charters. Those couples are going to get a free
Couples Cruise Robe on this cruise. If you have been
on all of our cruises and you didn’t get your robes,
please let us know in the Couples Cruise Help Desk
(located on deck 5, near the Centrum elevators).
$300 to Spend on Board when you book a Balcony
Cabin with three prior Couples Cruises
$200 to Spend on Board when you book a Balcony
Cabin with two prior Couples Cruises
$100 to Spend on Board when you book a Balcony
Cabin with one prior Couples Cruises
$200 to Spend on Board when you book an Inside
or Oceanview with three prior Couples Cruises
$100 to Spend on Board when you book an Inside
or Oceanview Cabin with two prior Couples Cruises
$50 to Spend on Board when you book an Inside
or Oceanview Cabin with one prior Couples Cruises
Fine Print: This offer is only good for new bookings on the
Brilliance of the Seas Charter, January, 2014. Not valid for any
transferred registrations from another Couples Cruise. There
are no credits if you cancel the Brilliance Cruise and the credits do not transfer to another cruise. Credits for future cruises
count, as long as they take place between now and Jan 2014.
the Brilliance of the Seas
The Brilliance of the Seas is going through a major upgrade
in 2013, so we will be getting a ship that will feel brand new,
with many exciting upgrades and additions.
Suites Priorities
Past customers can be put on a list to get access to
our best suites, even before they become public.
Just tell your Travel Agent that you want to be part
of our Advanced Suite Program and you will be put
onto our list.
The more suites you book, the higher up our priority
list you will move and the better suites will become
available to you.
We will have many more great reward programs
coming up in the next year including more SWAG,
like our stylish Couples Cruise bags that everyone
gets for free.
Keep checking www.CouplesCruise.com for the
latest information.

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.
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.
AlreadyBooked.com is the fastest growing lifestyle
website, specifically for those who enjoy Adults Only
and Clothing Optional Cruises. Tell your friends about
this site and help us welcome everyone aboard.
They can also list which online lifestyle sites they
belong to with their member (profile) names. They can
also list through which travel agency they booked.
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!

inside time enough to finish up before we turn off the
lights.
Sorry for the early hours, but it takes our crew hours to
tear down, fold, sort and pack everything that goes into
making our playroom such a delight.
That’s your complete schedule, and there sure are a lot of
seminars and M&G’s! Make sure you check out more than
one and maybe you’ll get lucky.
If you have a suggestion for a seminar or M&G in the
future, please stop by our Couples Cruise Help Desk on
Deck 5 and give us your suggestion.

Couples Cruise Notes
Pop your program into your Couples Cruise beach bag and keep it with you by the pool. If you make a new friend, or bump into
someone you already know, you can jot their names down here along with their cabin number so you can find them later (this is a
BIG boat). We also put some areas for their contact information in case you want to keep in touch with them after the cruise.
