I’m sure there’s going to be plenty. Hang out at a bar or some activity and strike up a conversation.

I went on a cruise a few years ago and women approached me out of nowhere and I never get approached. It's a different environment. Alcohol helps for sure!

Boat trip .

There’s usually nice lounges and bars scattered across the ship, start there or at the pool deck. Start talking to her about what she’s looking forward to at the next port of call, events around the ship, etc.

Are you going to hurt women?
[–]antsmasher 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah, and as an extra measure to get women on a cruise, follow this example:

As single people are in the minority on a cruise, it's actually fairly easy, imo.
If you don't look half bad and are in decent shape, you don't really even have to do anything special, they'll come to you in my experience. If not, just be fairly social and it would also be pretty easy. As long as you aren't a complete loser, I would argue that game isn't even required.
[–]AGKJAGFH 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
You're giving me hope XD
[–]TheManWithThreePlans 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Should still take it with a grain of salt. Don't have a good sample size, nobody does. Been on only 2 cruises in my life and got laid on both. The first at 16 and got laid purely as a result of being the last non-creepy dude standing by the last two days. The second was significantly more fruitful at 23 (30 now).
I would argue on a cruise that if you don't have decent looks and a decent body, game will not save you though, or it will be significantly more difficult to save VS irl where people are looking for different things. A cruise or vacation in general isn't real life, it's a fantasy.
[–]Delicious_Ad_1853 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If the future of your dating life hinges on a chance meeting on a cruise ship, you're gonna have a bad time. You'd be much better off learning how to meet women in your daily life.
[–]AGKJAGFH 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. I mean, I said that to "if you dont look half bad and have a decent shape". Never went to a cruise.
[–]privacylmao 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
isn't it easier if the majority were single people?
[–]TheManWithThreePlans 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Nah, more means less prospects. With more single people the threshold to be considered within the top fuckable % is higher unless you're already in that category IRL. With less single people, even though there *may* be more competition for any given girl, there's fundamentally less competition provided that you look better than average amongst your peers, which is easy enough to do on a cruise. Not exactly a huge 'Chad' magnet choice of vacation. Your odds are better to be within the chick's range of tolerance given her other options.

Wow the answer I wasn't expecting but it was a delight reading it. You covered everything and I appreciate that, I now understand why less equals more in that scenario, have a great day

I was on a crusie a while ago, it was mostly children and familys, not recomended. But I think I pick the wrong type of cruise. But people were in general very nice and talkative otherwise

go up to girls and talk to them
[–]jivan006 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just talk to them man. Go sing at the karaoke, then talk to them. Get some drink and then talk to them. Go to the cruise “disco” and talk to them. Or when you go for excursion just form a group with them, in a way “hey you guys wanna go to xyz together?”.
All of the above have worked for me.
[–]oldschoolvibes 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Approach
[–]PenguinLegos 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Depends on the cruise line. I’ve only been on Royal Caribbean and I find them to be the best. Just hang out by the bar and pools at night and you’ll definitely be able to talk to someone. If that’s not your thing. Go to the lounges that are scattered inside. There’s usually a few cool cocktail ones.
[–]FranciscotheBull 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Making yourself available is half the battle. Just do what is available on the cruise and have fun. Approaching people will come along and their is "less pressures since it is pleasure" like I always say. Approach women and see where it goes. Like some people experienced, some women will approach the guy. Make yourself available and social.
[–]Delicious_Ad_1853 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's the same as anywhere else: maybe you'll be lucky to come across a woman who takes the risks for you, but you'll have much better results if you take the initiative to approach, flirt, and escalate.
Are you comfortable doing that in your daily life? Or are you hoping that the cruise will magically change the social dynamics?

Just talk to everyone. If you can build a good report with a lot of the people there, the girls will take notice and will come to you. Make everyone your friend and you're in
[–]Bradthefunman 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I go on a yearly cruise. In spring, I pulled three girls on the cruise. One was an employee. Approach, be confident, and direct with your intentions.
[–]artofmajic 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Anyone had luck sleeping with a staff member of the crew. I went to cruise a while ago and there was a few decent looking women but the badder ones was the employees. Anybody had a chance to bag one and how does it work since they are at work 24/7
[–]Blaphrodite 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Step one: Get on cruise ship Step 2: unpack your shit, hope you have some decent clothes. Step 3: look up activities to see which sound adult friendly.
Step4 hang out at the bar. Say cheers to everyone

[–]DontCallMeTopher 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’ve pulled on every cruise I’ve ever been on. If you dress well, look decent, and have good social skills (most important) it’s easy, it just comes down to prospecting and finding the cute single girls, of which there probably won’t be ton of depending on what kind of cruise you’re on. Hang out at the bars/clubs and shoot your shot, girls are out there trying to have a fun vacation too and probably want a sweet cruise romance to go back and tell their friends about
[–]EARLY20RAG3R 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

If you can’t get laid on a cruise I’m not sure what to tell you. It is seriously the easiest place aside from a spring break.

Dooode cruises are like floating orgies. Even the crew members get down
[–]GalaxyBrainU 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Only went on one cruise, and it was with a significant other. However we met a girl who was married yet very forward and open about wanting to swing, and said she had done it many times. She wanted a threesome with me and my gf and also to watch her husband and me, so naturally I declined, but moral of the story, people on cruises can get very wild. Just talk to and meet as many people as possible.
[–]THAT_LMAO_GUY 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I have pulled on cruises before.
All the conventional advice applies, but here are cruise specific things:
You will keep bumping into the same people. Especially if you are going to the only nightclub on the cruise ship, or the main open til late bars. As a result of this its important to not be timid or slow in your first interactions. The first night or two are the most important. Some people will make cruise friends who they keep for the rest of the cruise. You want to be the fun guy they meet early on day/night 1 when all the excitement was there. If you are first hitting on them on day 5 then its just not the same excitement and energy.
Also because you have the expectation of seeing them again: its actually a good move be very bold and rejected late at night in the bar/club. I had a nuclear rejection. I handled it extremely well (totally unphased). The girl who rejected me respected me for it. Then when we bumped into each other the next day she was super nice to me, wanted to hand out. Handling nuclear rejection without flinching creates a lot of attraction and shows high value. But usually on nights out in cities you cant capitalise on it. Its all about seeing them in a new environment afterwards and seeing if they try to orbit you or get your attention, hoping you reinitiate.
Social proof also matters more. Make a couple girl friends and dance with them. You will be noticed by everyone and opening other girls will be far easier. See this post I wrote https://archive.ph/SyF6i .
