2015 cruises

**Bosoxfans** · 01-29-2014, 08:09 PM

Anyone know when the '15 cruises should be announced?

**GoodTimesCandC** · 01-30-2014, 01:27 AM

YES there will be more Lifestyle Cruises in 2015!!!

This was just posted by Bob & Tess that run the Charter Company, Couples Cruises!!!! WooHoo!!

"Royal Caribbean (our favorite cruise line) is doing a major reshuffling of their fleet in 2015. They have two new megaships that will be introduced into the fleet between now and then and they are still working out some of the details on where the ships will be located.

They have told us that several ships are leaving for Europe and their new Australian and China/Far East itineraries are very popular so they are going to move some additional ships to these areas of the world. We have received one proposal, but they are asking us to wait until January before making any decisions for 2015. We are flying to Miami on Jan 7th to meet with their deployment team to discuss options.

We hope to have some announcements by February for our 2015 schedule. Normally, we sign contracts 2 years out, but the reshuffling has caused a delay in any contracts for 2015.

We went through this a couple of years ago when we signed a contract for the Mariner (out of Los Angeles) and before we announced it, we were told that the ship was relocating to Europe and we ended up without a charter in the fall of 2011. We have been trying to put together a cruise out of the west coast ever since, but Royal Caribbean has not had any ships based on the west coast ever since. Luckily, we were able to get a contract with Celebrity Cruises for our 1st West Coast charter in May, 2014. That ship is almost sold out.

Hope that helps...

Bob & Tess,

Couples Cruise"

Can't wait for More!!

Also, from TheSwingerCruise.com website:

Some Big News On the Future of Couples Cruise:

There have been lots of rumors and we have seen our competitors advertising that these cruises are the last sailings for Couples Cruise. We haven’t posted on this until now. We finally some official word from Couples Cruise on what is happening. Here is what they have to say:

“
We met with RCCL & Celebrity yesterday and it was a very productive meeting. RCCL is delivering several new ships over the next two years which will shakeup the current deployment schedule. Because of this, we had to wait to negotiate future charters and they are putting together proposals for both the spring and the fall of 2015. We will probably have one Freedom and one Radiance Class ship launched soon, giving us some great new itineraries to sell from some exciting new ports.

So stand by for exciting new ships and amazing adventures in 2015 from Couples Cruise.

Stay tuned for more info…"

Some interesting potential, curious to see what they have to offer.

Any word on 2015 cruises? I've been keeping an eye on the websites for various lifestyle travel companies and have yet to see anything pop. up.

**Bosoxfans** · 04-18-2014, 06:32 PM

No new cruises announced yet?

**hedolovers2019** · 05-11-2014, 08:45 AM

Any News?? We are looking forward to a 2015 cruise......

Just off the Celebrity Century cruise this last Saturday. The Couples Cruise owner hosted a futures information exchange and Q&A late in the cruise. So here's a summary of the latest, directly from him.

Couples Cruise the company had been owned by two owners. The two early this year decided to split, and that split was just consummated very recently. So now Couples Cruise is owned by just one couple - Bob & Tess Hannaford (from New Orleans, the "Naughty in 'Nawlins" promoter also.) The negotiations and final contract between the two partners had delayed any new cruises from being contracted, and they're now planning no whole-ship charters for 2015, but will have 2 or 3 groups of 200-300 or more on various ships throughout the year. Those group events should be announced by Couples Cruise soon. Beyond that they're still looking at when to get back to the full ship charters.

I'm not affiliated directly in any way with Couples Cruise, so am just recounting my summary of what Bob Hannaford relayed to all publicly last week during the Century cruise.

**Bosoxfans** · 05-13-2014, 12:01 PM

Just curious, what would be the advantage of booking through them for a cruise as described? If it's not a full ship takeover, then wouldn't the nudity/fun be VERY limited if even allowed?

We probably need to wait for Bob to announce on the website and provide more information. I do know that apparently for several years prior to starting full-ship takeover/charters they successfully promoted large groups such as are apparently being planned now for 2015. I wasn't around them at that time, so can't speak much to ambiance/activities, but it was the growing size and success of those groups which eventually led to the full-ship charters.

You would think something would be said soon. I've never been on a Couples Cruise, however I've heard plenty about them. Was going to book one in the near future, but not if it's going to NOT be a whole ship take over.

**GoodTimesCandC** · 09-30-2014, 10:24 AM

Since the last post on here in May, there have been a few Full ship take over charters announced. 2 from FLA and a few over in Europe.

The first Big Ship Charter announced is being handled by Bliss Cruises and is on the Celebrity Sihoulette in Nov. 2015, which we have booked an Aft Balcony Cabin on the 12th deck.

Couples Cruise has finally got everything worked out and has announced a Big ship Charter from FLA on the MSC Divina in April 2016, which we have also booked.
If you go to your favourite Adult Travel website, you should be able to see all of the overseas LS Cruises and events as well.

THANKFULLY, to Bliss Cruises and Bob & Tess of Couples Cruises, "We now return you to your regular programming"!!!!
