Ports of Call
You will get pick and choose where to shop, what to buy including bling bling plus bars, a 24-hour cafe (a great venue to snack and people watch) and the famously popular pizza parlor. Featuring creative lighting, and enhanced colors that change frequently, the area is also the centerpiece of cruisers’ activity. The Promenade venue features Bliss evening-themed dance parties, Meet & Greets, pop-up Random Acts of live entertainment and music, surprises and maybe even a parade. It’s a great place to mix & mingle, hook up, hang out and see and be seen among all of your fun-loving old and new friends. Just open your mouth – say hello and you’ll be right at home.
International airports of Miami and Ft Lauderdale serve the greater Miami area and Port of Miami, your departure to sail away.
At both Ports of Call, select from many shoreside events, water sports, diving, snorkeling, and partying clothing optional on a private catamaran especially arranged for you, designed to meet other couples and enjoy an all-over tan, especially in Labadee where you can enjoy the sun on your skin….all over your body. You can also choose playtime back on board, enjoy specialty themes and have great excuses to attend Meet & Greets as well as fun workshops for adults only. It’s fun on the sea with no stop signs.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
This city is located on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic and is known as the Amber Coast due to its large deposits of amber. One suggestion for sightseeing in Puerto Plata is to visit Parque Independencia, also known as Parque Central. This park is surrounded by royal palms and Victorian architecture, creating a picturesque setting. Additionally, you can relax on the white sand beaches, take a cable car for sky-high views, explore local cacao farms, and even purchase some of the clearest amber in the world.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
There are plenty of sightseeing options as well. This beautiful city offers stunning beaches, majestic mountains, and historic sites. One suggestion is to visit the 16th-century UNESCO World Heritage structures, which showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. You can also indulge in culinary experiences, explore outdoor adventures, and wander through the pastel buildings lining cobblestone streets.
Your five nights and days will be action-packed with fun and educational events during the day, delicious cuisine, and theme nights plus late-night mischief that will keep you awake to rock and roll. Take your pick from parties, receptions, Meet and Greets as well as dining together to meet new couples. Live music, as well as DJs, will set the pace so you’ll be dropping into bed, totally spent from all the action. Too busy for you? Don’t worry, you can set your own pace for fun and games. No one is grading you so prepare to let loose and have a blast.
Theme Nights:
Stay tuned for nightly themes to be announced closer to the cruise date in 2025.
Shore Excursions:
These will be available for sale several months before the sailing date so check this site in upcoming months.

FAQs-Frequently Asked Questions:
Here are some really good reasons to sign up and ship out on the Bliss Cruise. For first-timers and those with the top 3 burning questions: The answer to all 3 is NO!
- Question # 1: Will I be expected to be nude? NO!
- Question # 2: Will I be expected to join in lifestyle activities with other couples? NO!
- Question # 3 Do I have to dress up or wear a cocktail dress or a tux on a formal night? The most emphatic answer is: NO, and no means NO. Don’t worry, no one cares and no one is there grading your performance. You’re there to have fun at your own pace, at whatever level you and your partner choose.
- Our staff and owners will be on board with you and we’re always available to you.
- Special newcomer orientation is the first day so you can get your questions answered by speakers, Castaways and Bliss owners and host couples.
- No Kids! Couples Only… Adults only 21 and over. Did we mention? It’s “kid-free”
- It’s your option to wear a swimsuit or bottoms only or take it all off, anywhere around the pool, hot tubs, sun deck or exterior lounges, bars and grills. Some type of cover-up or clothing is expected for interior parts of the ship, while docked or at anchor unless announced by the captain. Nudity on your balcony is prohibited while docked in port or at anchor at a port.
- Adventures at ports of call for clothing-optional fun are planned.
- Receptions and other excuses to schmooze with other couples at Meet & Greets for newcomers as well as repeaters will entertain you.
- Workshops and presentations from professionals and medical experts about lifestyle topics, health, and plenty of Q & A opportunities are available to ask those burning questions in the back of your mind.
- Private meet-up areas are specifically set aside to share adult pleasure with other consenting couples, but only if you choose to. It’s “your pleasure, your way.”
- Live music, DJs at the pool daily, and theme parties nightly are plentiful plus performers entertain cruisers throughout the ship.
- Get in the vibe: Bring some fancy or fun costumes and sexy clothing to spice up the evening’s themes. See and be seen….you ARE part of the SCENE, so paste on your party face and get ready to rock. But you are NOT expected to participate if you choose not to.

Details of the ship upgrade
The amped-up Explorer of the Seas® is packed with more ways to play on the most maxed-out getaway ever.

- Bond over Tuscan eats.
- Or kick off a date at night at bar and club venues throughout the ship nightly.
Ditch the road trip for an action-packed cruise ship, with cruises sailing from Miami. For Royal Caribbean’s vessels in the fleet, including the Explorer, all of them have been transformed in a $500,000,000 upgrade and facelift “Amplified” program. Enhancements include installing exclusive additions for suite guests plus wall-to-wall new staterooms and suites to include new technology and designs throughout the Explorer.
Stay tuned for topless dining in one of the specialty restaurants. Sign up early once it goes on sale….it’s typically a sell-out … and lots of fun for diners AND the wait staff. You do NOT have to be topless to dine there at any time. The best part to visiting a watering hole, look us up at Castaways hospitality venue on the Promendate deck all week where our staff will meet & greet you and your fellow cruiser plus help you sign up for the next Bliss adventure.

Pre-Cruise Packages
We urge you to enjoy Florida before and after the cruise. As long as you’ve made the trip, why not add on extra nights to extend your fun in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale areas or along the Atlantic coast? A bonus: Arrive Miami early so you have a cushion of time to count on in case of a trip interruption, flight schedule changes or weather delays. Believe me, unpredictable weather has delayed many cruisers …. some have missted the boat due to uncontrollable weather developments. You don’t want to miss the boat, do you?
You’re invited to attend an optional Castaways Travel Meet & Greet reception at a local hotel usually the night before you board the ship the next day. This is a great way to start your party early, meet new couples and see old friends. Castaways always has a room block at a hotel for pre-cruise accommodations….so just ask about the group rate that should be available early 2025.

Booking Considerations
Cabin Type
Do you prefer a cabin with or without a window? Cabins without a window are normally located on the inside corridor of the ship. There are also balcony rooms and suites. Balcony rooms come with an outside patio area where the scenery can be enjoyed without leaving quarters. Suites include a sleeping and dining area with additional amenities. ** If someone in your party is prone to seasickness, choose a cabin that is in a lower level and the middle of the ship.
Cabin Size
Having comfortable surroundings is important when going on a week-long cruise. Will you be spending a lot of time in the cabin? Do you want to wake up and drink coffee on the balcony? A small cabin with no window isn’t a good fit for claustrophobic passengers. Make sure to determine your needs ahead of time and book a cabin size accordingly.
Amenities
Cabins and suites offer a wide range of amenities from Concierge services, to menu upgrades and spa access, to wet bars and butlers in the suite class. Determine which perks will make your vacation complete before finalizing a cabin.
