Pack with me for temptation cruise 2025
In two weeks, we’ll be boarding our second lifestyle cruise together with 2300 other swingers. For six days and five nights, we’ll learn, play and party onboard Temptation Cruise’s February 2025 trip. We can’t wait!
As I (Annie) start to pack, I wanted to bring you along to show all the hot items to consider for your next swinger cruise. These are items specifically for swinger cruises that we’ve found to be incredibly useful. None are absolute necessities, of course, but they certainly contribute to creating a “vibe” for sexy time and making the absolute most of your time.
Door decor
Swingers. Love. Decor. People really go all out decorating their doors and we do too! We’ve found it makes it easier for people to find you or leave their contact information for future meet ups.
We use:
Magnets: we use upside down pineapple magnets, custom magnets with pictures of us, custom magnets with our contact information. Magnets also make it easy to hang stuff and are useful for your room to hang wet clothes. For that purpose, we suggest these.
Holder magnets for putting your card, candies, or other items for people take with them. Some people make things to give out or buy candies, lube, wipes, condoms, you name it to put on their door
Aforementioned card: Swingers make cards to hang out with their contact information. It typically has your contact information (email, SDC/SLS, phone, social media). This makes it easier to find and connect with people. People also put their names, boundaries (soft swap, full swap, condoms, ect), pictures of the couple, and room number. We made ours through Canva and printed them through VistaPrint.
White board: Flashback to college. We use a magnetic whiteboard to write notes to the world and let the world write notes to us. It’s a really great way to communicate, especially if you’re not planning to buy the Wifi package.
People also create their own posters/decor, have ads for their OnlyFans, put memes/funny things like dick straws, hang pineapple lights, and so much more.
Room Items & interior Decor
Fans: Magnetic small fans are a lifesaver. We’ve found that the ship can get really hot, especially during sexy time, so having some fans in your room can make a big difference
Lights: Adding colored lights to your room alters the feeling of your room. You can set the mood by dimming the lights or using a different color light. We’ve found that we like lights that are subtle and soothing.
Room decor: People bring flags, pictures, lights, pineapple decor, you name it. Some people go all out while others don’t. This can create a better experience, be used for pictures, or simply for setting the vibe.
Speakers: We loved bringing our speaker. We hyped ourselves up while getting ready and set the mood during extracurricular activities, if ya know what I mean.
Theme costumes
Just like swingers love decor, we love a good costume. You have people who just wear t-shirts or ignore the theme, but you also have a lot of people who go all out. There are five nights on this cruise and five themes: Nauti Wars (spin on Star Wars), Uniform, Superpower Night, Party like a Rockstar, and Glow night!
You can take it quite literally or you can do your own spin on it. When we were on Bliss, for example, the first night was Back to School or something like that. You had football players, cheerleaders, school girls, teachers, emo kids, you name it. This is one of the best parts of the lifestyle, in my opinion. I never knew you could make things like Star Wars sexy, but man, do people find a way.
Swinger gear
People bust out their naughty t-shirts, especially to be worn when boarding the ship. Almost like a mating call, we use sexy shirts to convey wants, desires, or just break the ice. One of my favorite shirts says “Don’t get horny around me. I’m an empath.”
If it’s pineapple, it goes. Pineapple bags, purses, backpacks, pillows, shirts, shorts, ties, hats, lanyards. I have never seen so much pineapple in my life. It was beautiful.
Other items to consider
These are items that are unique to our experience, but we’ve found it helps us preserve our memories and enhance our experience!
Scopolamine patch: Sam got these for me and they revolutionized my experience. I have no idea if I struggle with seasickness, but we didn’t want to take a chance. This prescribed patch truly helps eliminate nausea/seasickness! I wore one every day on our previous cruise. Sam had them prescribed and delivered through Amazon. We had four patches to last for our last cruise ( 7 nights / 8 days). We changed them about every 3 days.
Travel book: We have a blank travel book with prompts to reflect on your trip. We like to reflect on our fun experiences by writing down our favorite parts of the trip. This creates a lifetime memento that we can use to relive our sexiest experience!
Cameras: We bring disposable cameras/poloroid cameras and film as well as our phones/digital cameras. We’ve found there are so many chances to take sexy photos and we love having them in multiple formats. These are the cameras we bring: large polaroid, small polaroid, disposable camera, digital camera.
Towels: They provide towels, but we like bringing our own. It makes it easier to spot our things and we don’t need to worry about returning them by a certain time.
Hydrating goodies: We had liquid IV, recovery patches, gatorade mix, and empty water bottles to fill up and make sure we were hydrating appropriately, especially given the amount of drinking that goes on.
