Planning a First Visit to Desire Cruises
Desire Cruises sells cabins through its own site, and the booking terms there govern everything. Read the who-can-book rule before paying a deposit, since some charters are couples only.
Lifestyle charters sell out months ahead, and the cheapest cabin categories go first. Deposits are usually non-refundable, so travel insurance is worth pricing at the same time.
Theme nights run most evenings. Pack for the published themes. Read the play policy on the operator's site so you know where play is and is not allowed on board.
For the practical side, swinger cruises explained covers how a charter differs from a regular sailing. The cruise packing checklist covers what to bring, and adult cruises for swingers compares the operators.
