[QUOTE=BuckOwens;6818466]How long is your cruise and where are you sailing from?

Buck.[/QUOTE]About a month ago I took a 7-day cruise with Norwegian. It was one of their largest ships. First day was at sea and I walked every floor, and counted 11 cabins with pineapples on the door. They can be found at the bars! Also try one of those party boat excursions.

I will say that I was able to check off a bucket list item I didn't even know I had. Having sex on my 13th floor balcony as the sun was setting. Amazing experience. .

[QUOTE=AvgJhsn;6817445]I'm going on a cruise soon and was wondering what were the chances of provider (s) being on board?[/QUOTE]Been on a couple of cruises. Unfortunately not alone. My first cruise there was an older lady I kept seeing. When I was alone, I went to the casino, she was there. We were flirting with each other, but there were signs I could've had her.

Go to the different functions / activities the cruise has as well the bars and casinos. Mingle with people. Most of the people are there to have a good time just like you. Believe in your game.

I did a quick search about pineapples on the door and it alluded to the occupant being open to someone knocking. Is this what you are speaking of? I'm doing a 10 to Greece with fellow vets the end of the year and right now, I am on the hook for a balcony cabin by myself.

Pineapple is the universal symbol of swingers.

The pineapple is often used as a decorative item in swingers' homes, as a way to signal to other swingers that they are welcome. Additionally, many swingers use the symbol of the upside-down pineapple to identify each other in public.

Headed out of Mia to Cozumel on virgin. Been told, awesome relaxation, after last year I'm due. Since I'm not chasing teenagers, mucho free time is expected. I'd read about pineapples but forgot, I'll "cruise the boat" with an open eye, hope for the best. That's why I love this place, you have a question / thought / experience somebody been there done that and gladly help. Ya'll rock.

There is an entire subreddit dedicated to this with all kinds of posts: cruiser4 r You can post with your partner, or see if anyone is posting with THEIR partner, or as a single, or whatever. Usually couples and / or hotwives posting looking, not really that common for a single guy; but like I said, there are all kinds. All the cruise lines, various ships, and usually just real, horny folks looking for fun. I went on a cruise last year and posted with a partner, and we had a bit of success. It is not a guarantee, but perhaps better than knocking on a random pineapple door and not knowing what you will get.

And if I am cruising solo, any suggestions? I saw one entry about looking for cute young ladies NOT on the alcohol plan. That is great advice.

So I had a nightmare. I saw a post in the Alpharetta area, "she" had posted 3 days in a row but nothing before that. Late 20's. Contacted her and texting was typical. Upscale hotel. I headed over and checked out the surroundings like usual. No red flags so I headed upstairs. Families hanging out in the lobby. No red flags. I got to the room knocked and that was all she wrote. Some new friends greeted me from multiple directions. I eventually left the hotel with a document promising a future appointment at the County Courthouse.

So I'm sharing my misconceptions:

1. Just because it's a nice hotel doesn't mean the coast is clear.

2. 3 days of posts are not enough.

3. Older providers are safest.

The more you know. And finally if anyone has ever been in this situation and / or has a legal friend I'd appreciate any advice. Please private message me.

Are you able to share general info about what service (escort, FBSM, etc), site, description of the provider / post. Anything that would help our community mitigate this risk going forward?

Or, to put it another way, which site(s) should be avoided, and what keywords should be flagged?

I think this will be my first contribution as a member after being here for a couple of years. I was in Atlanta area for a week and wanted to get a taste of the scene here.

Looked through the TER pages and found PD. I can post her name but unclear on the forum rule. You should be able to find her on TER, she has decent amount of reviews but is not a large volume turnover person and that was good with me. And she has all those rules regarding verification and contacting her in time. I would say all those step are worth it. She was the real deal, through and a professional. Showed up on time and I ended up having a fabulous time, both on and off the bed.

The woman was white, skinny, tattooed with multiple pictures but with her face only shown in one picture but obscured by a wig. Really no red flags in the ad typical verbiage. Incall, No law enforcement, etc. It did not state rates which were offered and agreed to via text.
