Travel / Vacation partner

Any providers to accompany on a nice vacation? How to find on here on here. Looking for a cruise companion.

[~Ze~]

I’ll be upfront — speaking from experience, especially as someone who has traveled with hobbyists quite a bit — you *really* don’t want your first meeting to be an extended trip.

Before committing to spending a week confined in a small cabin with someone, plan a few longer meetups on land. Sure, cruise ships are big and port stops give you breathing room, but you’d be surprised how quickly a stranger’s quirks can wear on you in close quarters.

Set clear expectations in advance: how many dinners you’ll share, how many room service desserts, which activities you’ll do together — and most importantly, make sure both of you carve out solo time, too.

Also, don’t fall into the trap of thinking that just because you’re covering the cost of the cruise and extras, that’s enough. Time away from personal responsibilities carries a price no matter what. Be sure to agree on her compensation before setting anything in stone.

One more thing — trips like this usually require exchanging real names. Whether it’s booking flights, reservations, or accessing the cabin, you’ll both need to share personal information.

While cruises can be a lot of fun, they’re not always the easiest type of trip for everyone to handle. It’s important to choose someone who’s comfortable with travel — ideally someone who’s been to similar destinations or who travels regularly.

One thing I always ask for is to have at least one excursion day where I get to pick the activity — for me, that usually means scuba diving.

Honestly, I could say a lot more, because I’ve been through it more times than I can count.

Ze is 100% on point. A 30 min to 2 hour engagement is very different than several days together on end. Make sure you actually like each other outside of the sheets before going down this path.

Ze is spot on.

The RW info sharing is something to wrap your head around. You might even need passport and other info depending on your destination. Trustworthiness is key.

Laying the ground rules beforehand, and sticking to them, is also important.

I took a person on a trip like this once. Everything was first class from airfare to the destination. I rented a second room for the provider so she could spend some daily alone time as needed.

To echo what Ze said, our arrangement included a free day (expense paid) for her to do whatever she wanted without having me around. And, I included her input in deciding on daily activities.

It turned out to be good experience — but, I can’t say I’d do it again. If done properly, it can get pretty expensive so bear that in mind.

Why take a companion when you might find someone in the ship.
Once (last year) I took a cruise in Asia and found a nice woman from Singapore in the ship and we hit it off for 7 days, no compensation, separate cabins, different activities if one chose so and the rest you can imagine it.
Does that mean you will find a woman that suits you? NO, but i think it could make the trip more interesting and challenging.

When I was younger, I understood the value of certain trips and experiences, and I was completely fine going on them without any compensation. I had a flexible schedule, and there was no way I could afford to spend $5,000 or more on a vacation at that stage in life. I recognized the trade-off and was comfortable with it.

You may find someone with a similar mindset.

Just make sure you explain to her thoroughly all the realities that come with traveling on a cruise. The rules are strict about what you can and can’t bring on board, and there are tight arrival and departure schedules. She needs to understand what happens if she misses the ship when it departs. And if she’s not experienced with traveling to places that might be less developed, remind her to always keep her passport on her.

You can definitely make this your first big adventure together, even as relative strangers — but you’d better be absolutely certain that she’s a professional who can handle the pressure and still perform, so that both of you walk away feeling it was worth the time and money.

If you must take a provider take the time to find atf or someone you enjoy and broach the subject

If taking a Cruise learn to look for the upside down Pineapple. Sometimes it's a pin, an earring, a sticker on a travel bag. That's the sign of someone who is a Swinger.

I was in Houston at a Hotel Bar last week and a business woman sat down next to me. Hair tied back in a bun and a pant suite with flat shoes. I was busy with text/email on my phone so did not pay any attention. She asked me if I knew if there was another bar close to this area and I just shrugged. Then i glanced at her phone that was turned over and it had an upside down Pineapple on it.

That caught my attention and long story short I spent the remainder of the evening in her room going thru every sex position in the manual.

If you see the Pineapple do not be afraid to start a conversation and make a move.

If you have any kind of game what so ever you'll get more ass than a toilet seat on a Cruise.

I’m just piggybacking on what everyone else has already said but the biggest reason you need to go with someone you already know is trust.

There’s only one provider I’ve ever traveled with and we gone a couple places, but it was because I trusted her. I like to gamble and I would give her a credit card to cover food/drinks or whatever while I gambled in peace. Never an issue, never a single charge for anything crazy.

You’re not going to get that from 1 or 2 sessions with someone, it takes a considerable amount of time.

I actually made a post a couple of years ago just for this! Many people who cruise go several times a year: my idea was to make a website where clients and providers can talk about what cruises they will each be taking for possible meet ups. So If a client was going to be stuck with family, but could arrange trysts.
The idea was called “ cruising companions “ lol

I agree with most of the comments on here.

I have wanted to do some extended travel. I did an overnight weekend out of town once and even though I thought I knew the provider and had a level of trust, she didn't travel well. We had done an overnighter previously, dinner, hotel, breakfast and parted. The weekend started in the morning, she had me pull over to grab drinks she liked because she wasn't certain the same things would be available near where we were staying. She was passed out drunk when we got there, recovered by noon the next day, but then she started popping pills and wanted me to take her to clubs. We had discussed the arrangements prior and none of that was in the plans. I think she felt too comfortable and that I would be a pushover. 6 months of seeing the same girl multiple times was not enough to last a full 3-day weekend. I packed us up and dropped her back at home that night.

Obviously, you really have to know what you are getting into for a full trip.
