Frequently Asked Questions

Bliss Cruise or your travel agent will provide you with your cruise line reservation number about 125 days before your cruise. 

When you receive your cruise line reservation number you can add the charter to your cruise line account. From there you can purchase drink packages, internet packages, specialty dining, excursions, and more to make this your perfect vacation.

Almost all sailings will have the Bliss Signature clothing-optional excursions that you will be able to book pre-cruise through the cruise line or Bliss App.

Guest must reside in the US Bliss can offer an insurance quote from Travel Guard. Any specific questions about the quote must be directed to Travel Guard.

Information is on our website on the cruise page in Pre-Cruise Details.

Boarding is typically between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. While the ship may arrive in port very early, the ship must first clear customs before guests are able to debark. Disembarkation is between 7:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Times are subject to change. Please ensure that you board at least 60 minutes prior to sail away.

Please don’t arrive prior to 10:30 am. You won’t be allowed to check in before your designated time.

We highly recommend guest sail with their valid US Passport book. Note: It is important to check the expiration date on your passport to confirm that it will still be valid at least six (6) months after your travel dates.
U.S. citizens on closed-loop cruises (cruises that begin and end at the same port in the U.S.) may use your official government-issued Birth Certificate and a supporting government-issued Photo ID, denoting photo, name and date of birth, if you do not have a valid US Passport. BOTH documents must match the name on your reservation. Otherwise, it may result in delay or possible denial of boarding. A “birth certificate” is issued by a government agency (federal, state, county, city, etc.). This document is legal proof of citizenship that can be used by U.S. citizens for certain international travel. For states that have a “short form” and “long form”, whichever document is government issued with the guest’s full name, birth date and US birth place (city and state), is acceptable. A “birth notice” or “Certificate of Live Birth” issued by a hospital or other type of medical facility but it is not an approved travel document.

Non-US Citizens will require a passport and the necessary visa for entry into the United States.
No refunds will be given to individuals who fail to bring proper documentation.

The business and production focus of Bliss Cruise is on the niche market of the swinger community. The swinger community consists of couples that are made up as one male and one female looking to interact with other couples of the same configuration. Of course, there are always a few single men and women who attend with couples as part of their threesome, which we do allow; however, this is an extremely small percentage that book our cruises.

Yes. While the overall atmosphere is relaxed, dinner hours follow a “resort casual” or “smart casual” dress code. Swimwear, tank tops, and T-shirts are not permitted in restaurants during dinner. Shorts are allowed only in the buffet. Each cruise will also have a formal night, where while optional, many guests love to dress up and look their best.

Workshops vary in topic and audience. Some are designed for all couples, while others may have limited access. Check the Compass in the Bliss App for more information including Know Before You Go.

Photography and video are not allowed in clothing-optional areas, the Playroom, workshops, or during theme nights. In all other areas, be respectful of others’ privacy before snapping away.
