Welcome back to another episode of Swingology, a lifestyle podcast. We are your host, Tori Kist. Dan Steve Kist. And we are on the 2025 November Bliss Cruise, and today we're talking about day one, which for us was yesterday. What a great way to kick off the cruise ship. Oh my gosh. So let's rewind to the beginning of day one when we are driving from the hotel to the port. And my husband decides to go off-roading. It was not like, listen guys, I went over a curb. Just one curb. It was in the way I needed to get from pointing to paint bee. There was a curb in the way, and I was like screw this, and I traded her SUV like a four by four for just a moment. It was, do not enter, and he went down this entire road. That was a one way road, which was empty, luckily. And he realized it was curbing at the end. So we had to go over a curb to get to the other side where it would be okay. We only did that because our map on our phone was taking us in this weird zigzag pattern to get to Port Everglades. And then once we got to the end of where this map was taking us, it was the security entrance to Port Everglades. It was not the right location. And it was taking us like a zigzag. It was, it almost brought us through malls. Like it was like- It was a mall parking lot at one point where going through my- It brings us through the garage. I can't believe what- Where is this map taking us? I kept checking like, where's my destination? What did I put in? Yeah, it was Port Everglades. So he was like, screw that. I'm using my phone now because we have a downed ride and then the other one is an apple. So we like- we banter back and forth between our phones all the time. So then his phone took us to an entrance that had this weird security. Well like we've cruised out of Port Everglades before but we didn't have this security to go through with the car. Like it was new or just different. It was just different. Parked the car and then realized, whoops, we forgot to pre-check our bags. So we had to carry all of our luggage through the parking garage, through the elevator, and passed a couple terminal buildings to get to our terminal which was a- It was a hard work. It really wasn't that far except for the fact that- It was a three terminal building. We had nearly 355 pounds of luggage. Yeah, it was kind of rough, at least for me. It was rough but I was wearing sneakers in shorts since I was prepared for travel days the hard day so let's just not be pretty. And we finally got to our destination. It went pretty quick through security. Oh yeah, security this time around was fast. It was great. That might have something to do with the government shutdown. Or it was also a smaller ship I think half the size of last years. Yeah. So therefore half the amount of people. Possibly yeah, that could be- But it was very smooth sailing through security this time. Yeah, it was pretty quick. From the moment we parked the car to the moment we got on the ship was like 20 minutes. I don't think so. Walking those three terminal buildings with the luggage was 20 minutes. Once we got to drop them off onto the ship, yes I agree 20 minutes for sure. Alright, I'll give you that. Okay so this time around we decided to book an Aqua Classroom. And the Aqua Classroom is not a suite and like the room is larger. It's a standard sized room. However it's considered a suite when it comes to amenities. So therefore we were hoping and expecting and really banking on our room being available when we got on the ship. Plus we chose to come on the ship a little bit later in the in the boarding timeline. So we chose a one thirty to two o'clock boarding slot. We arrived and was able to board at about twelve forty five. The captain was greeting everyone as they walked off board the ship. And he was like what type of room do you have? What's your cabin number? And he realized it was our Aqua Classroom. And he was like go to your room now it's probably available. So we went to our room and yes we were able to drop off our luggage. We had half of our luggage with us at this point. The other half we did drop off for the cruise to handle. So we get into the cabin that was claimed to be ready. However there was a few things. Yeah there were. I mean the cabin. The bed was made and there was no one's stuff here or anything. But one of the pillowcases was dirty. The glass and the bathroom was dirty. The mirror was dirty. Apparently there's this really nice company that was like dropping every dropping like. What is the thing? A gift. There was a gift. A little gift in everyone's room. It's not anything super major but our box was completely empty. Well like wait. Someone had emptied the gift out of our gift box. What is this? What is missing out of this box? Now I want it for sure. What is it? What is it babe? What did we get? It's literally just a one month free to a porn site membership. It's not anything amazing. The packaging is this leak black box and you open it up and there's this little business card slot where something's supposed to be waiting for you. And it could be anything. Like it's a gift certificate. What is it? It apparently is a one month gift certificate to a porn site. So there you go. You know it's one thing for like a glass to be dirty or the window to be dirty but the pillow was moldy. It was like a little like the black dots of like mold. Like if something was wet. It was a long time. It had gotten wet at one point and it's moldy. So it must have been doing their job and just in the rhythm and didn't even notice before they walked away. Then like 15 minutes all those issues were corrected. So that was like the worst part of the day. And that was like such a minor thing. Yeah. So the very first thing we got to do is go to the muster station, do the little drill, like practice things. We know what we're doing in case of that. And what did we do, hun? Yeah. We wanted to see if we would win one of the prizes from the spa raffle. And then we started going to the meet and greet, so believe it. Yeah, we did. We also kind of made some meet and greet along the way. Yeah, we ran into a couple and they brought us to a meet and greet. We weren't planning on going to. We met some people there. Okay. Let me rewind. Okay. So in between going to the meet and greet that we were going to go to, we had some free time and we went to the bar to get a drink. Because I was at this point. I was thirsty and he was like, let's go get a bar. So let's go get a drink at the bar. Yeah. Okay. The bartender wasn't coming to our side. So I decided, you know what? There's this pretty lady on the other side of the bar. I'm going to go see likes to her. You stand here and we'll just see who gets the bartender first. So I'm chatting up this beautiful lady and you obviously get the drinks to come around to my side. And they're like, well, we're just about going, we're just about to leave to go to a meet up. Do you want to come with us? So we're vibing with them for a while. We go to the meet up with them. They're vibing with more people. It's just fantastic. Before we know it, it's time to go to the meet up that we originally had. We just planned. Right. We didn't even finish that meet up when we left. It was like, oh my gosh, we have to go. We only got like five minutes left. So we left when we went to the under 45 meet and greet. Now, at this point, guys, it was 7 p.m. 4 p.m. It was 4 p.m. I was planning on showering and putting on some like sexy clothes. It wasn't going to be the theme night yet, but I was going to present myself. Present yourself. Right. Because I had just traveled with all this luggage. I was sweaty and, you know, whatever. I didn't have any time for that. Nope. You did not get any time for that. But that's a lot. So we went to the under 45 meet up, which was at the seller masters bar. Very dark, kind of mahogany oaky. We passed it twice, looking for it. Twice. Twice. It's opposite of the martini bar. So the one side of the ship is the martini bar, which is bright white and it's icy and a lot more. And eye catching, so when you walk by it, you have no choice but to look at the martini bar. The other side of the ship is this dark mahogany. It just blends right in with the darkness. Yeah. And so you don't see it notice it or look at it, but that's where we had to go. We literally walked by like three times. Where is this place? And that was funny. So we get to the under 45 meet up. We meet, it's a handful of super sexy people and make some connections. And one might be active connection today. Excited to see what happens there. No. Okay, what? No. What's no? We totally made a connection and they wanted to play right at that moment. Right, but I hadn't shouted or anything at that point. Yeah, you were not play ready. We talked about it and we were like, "No, let's do this, but let's do this tomorrow." That's the right way. Let's be clean first. So we asked them if they would be down for an after-lunch play date and they loved it. So we're going to have a story to tell you tomorrow. Unless we don't because it's out. Maybe we'll just tell you that we kissed. We'll find out. Yeah, we can at least say that we had a great time, right? Or... After that meet up, we decided to go to dinner. Dinner at the blue. Blue restaurant. Okay, so one of the benefits of having or perks of having an aqua classroom, and I say that with my pinky up, is that you are the only guest aboard the ship that can eat at the blue restaurant, and the blue restaurant claims to be a healthy choice, clean ingredients, and that sort of thing. And so I was honestly, for the last year and a half or year having this booked, I was honestly thinking that my husband was going to hate that place because my husband like stayed in potatoes and I didn't think that that would be considered clean food. And I figured you're going to have your cupry salad, your super clean, no seasoned food. That's what I was expecting at this place. So we go in and it first of all, super fast service. You get seated right away. And whenever you order food, you get it like within two minutes right away. And babe, was the food good? It was amazing. It was amazing. Fleeing and yon, medium rare is great. It was perfect. We actually already paid for some of the signature dining locations throughout our crews. And I'm kind of tempted to just kind of cancel some of those because if blue is only available for aquaclass guests and it's amazing. And I heard that they rotate their menu out each day. So it's a little different. It's almost worthwhile just eat there. I kind of agree with you. Yeah. I mean, let's take a look at our dinner options that we've chosen. Yeah, maybe you can get like a shipboard credit to go towards a spa service or something. Or pay for all the drinks we're going to end up ordering. Yeah, we don't have a drink package, guys, because we don't drink so much. Okay, so like one drink is 10 to 15 dollars depending on what you get. Sometimes they have a special which is that $10 drink. Like yesterday's I think was right. So I think yesterday's drinks came to $40 honestly. And we had three of them. Yeah. Yeah, three drinks. Yep. So we just buy them alacart because if we had a drink package that's like, I don't know, even as close to like $100 or something. Even if it was $70 a person. You want to have seven drinks a day? No, it was 100 plus. The drink package? Yeah, it's 100 plus. So we just don't drink that much in alcohol. So we figure let's just buy it each day. It's always cheaper that way. Plus. You can bring two bottles of wine on. I think it's a per person or a per cabin. It's one bottle per person. Check the fine print of your cruise guys. But we did decide to bring one bottle of wine for each of us. So we'll nurse on that throughout the week. So after our delicious dinner at Blue, we came back to the room. Took a little rest break, shared off, got cute and sexy for the next meeting. We agreed. Well, the theme night was. Studs and bunnies. Yes. Studs and bunnies was the theme night. And so we had a lot of sexy women and men dressed up as bunnies as well as a lot of, I'm not sure what the connection here is. You have her. Oh, you have her. That's what it is. I mean, we looked at studs as like a guy wearing a leather vest and studded bracelets, which is what my wife dressed me up as. I'm very literal. What I saw on the ship was a ship full of Hugh Hefner's. I don't even really know the connection there. Maybe I'm showing my youth. What is the Hugh Hefner? What is this? Do you have a note? The bunnies are the playboy bunnies. I kind of picked that up. And there's the stud who hired and has the playboy bunnies face Hugh Hefner. Is this like regarding a movie from a long time ago or something? No, it's playboy. The playboy mentioned. Oh, guys, I'm just some little, that's okay. I have no idea what this is about. I was unique out there and I think that's what mattered. Here's the thing. It was theme night. When it was released, probably, I don't know, last April or May, when the theme nights were released, I was like, okay, babe, time pick her out. But she was like, you just pick whatever I'll wear it. So I'm like, it's true. And I did. And he did. So my plan for him, not knowing about Hugh Hefner's whole thing, guys, studs and bunnies. Okay, I'm going to dress up as a sexy bunny and he's going to be a stud. Well, what is a stud? I'm thinking leather, vest studded, you know, leathery chokers or... Again, this is an example of my very literal wife. He rocked it out there. He even had like a little chain on his belt loop. He was a stud, in my opinion. Anyway, so we went to the hall, possibly, in the 10 o'clock. And before I know it, it starts getting super crowded in there. And I realize it's hard to breathe. So I'm like, hey guys. I'm going to go get some fresh air. And that's when we split up for the night. Yeah, so I left with you to check on you and to make sure you're good. And then you were like, I don't really want you to not have fun or miss the meeting great because of me. Isn't it okay that we just separate at this point? And I said, sure, if that's what you want to do. And she said, great, I want you to go have fun. I'm going to go see what I can get into. And I will see you tomorrow. And I kissed her. Yes, I don't know if you guys remember last year's episode, when we split up each day, we tell each other what we did after we split up in the morning live recording. So what we are about to do right now is tell each other what we did after we split up. And you guys will have the live reaction of hearing what the other person did. So I feel like I probably have more to say than you because I, when I got back to the cabin, that four in the morning, three, 49 in the morning. My wife was sleeping. So I probably have more to say. So let's start with you after I left and I gave you a kiss at night. Where did you go? What did you do? Okay. So just to set the scene so people know where we were. The haul pass meetup was in the cellular, the master cellar, that dark, organic bar across from the martini bar. That's where it was held, which is at the top of the spiral staircase. Down below the spiral staircase was a DJ going and music playing. So it's a very active area. That's where we parted ways. He gave me a kiss and I just kind of left into a crowd and found myself in the elevator. So I'm in the elevator and everyone seems to be going to the sky lounge and I was like, well, I wanted to get air. I have to walk on the duct to go to the sky lounge. I'll go to these people to the sky lounge. And we're probably five different groups of people in the elevator and all would do the same place. We don't know each other. So I'm just kind of like tag along with these strangers and I go to the sky lounge and it is a party, definitely a party. A lot of like 90s throwback music is going on in there, but I can relate to it because you know that was my younger teen years perhaps. 2000s music is also going on in there. So I relate. So I'm feeling my vibe. Walk through the entire sky lounge. I'm liking what I'm seeing. So I'm like, I'm going to stay here. I don't know what's going to happen. Let's just people watch. So I find a place to perch myself. It's a chair and I try to be open. So I'm not like closed off. I'm not in a corner. I'm in an open area. Right? So there's this young couple talking at this group of chairs next to me on one side and you know, I'm just watching everyone and people watching and I'm kind of like driving to the music on my own. After about 20 minutes of people watching, the young couple invites me over to sit with them a little bit. So I do. They are talking with another couple. So I have there's two couples there and they might be over. So I'm a fifth person. And we're just talking and one of the guys is like 10 minutes after sitting in and telling him my name. He's like, wait, is your husband Steve? I'm like, yeah, that's my husband. He's like, oh, okay, yeah, I've recognized your name from the bliss cruise. The app. I'm like, okay, and so we're just kind of like talking and one of the people there, he's very reserved. He's a slower mover. This is his first bliss cruise. He doesn't know a lot of things. He's asking me a lot of questions and I'm answering and it's just really great conversation. Then the other guy comes back. He's like, wait, don't you have a podcast? I'm like, yes, yes, I do because I, you know, it was really loud. It was hard to talk in the room. And he was sitting a little further away from me. So there's a little bit less talking to him. Typically how it goes, I felt really great when he said that because I don't do a lot of advertising for my podcast because I don't get monetized for this. This is literally just a hobby, just just a baby of mine, little art project that I do. And so when someone recognizes and you know, and says, don't you have a podcast, that just kind of makes me feel a little happy inside because- Little butterflies. Yeah, I'm like, how do you know? And this is so cool. Like, not that he listens, but somehow he knows. I'm like, okay, so my husband must be advertising it. We put it on our profile. We did. On the bliss profile. We put it on our bliss app profile. And our telegram profile indicated that we were podcasters to- You know what, babe? One thing that we haven't talked about in this episode and we probably should is that one thing different from this bliss cruise versus last year's bliss cruise is the fact that there is a app. The bliss app. So there was a bliss app before, but it was- Just a calendar. This is very much kind of like a Facebook type of- Kind of a broken app, in my opinion. But this app was very functional. You can make sure- And they were updating it. Yeah, they've been updating it. And as we got closer to the bliss cruise and adding new features to it and honestly, it's pretty great. It's a nice app this time around. So I'm back to my story. I'm in the sky lounge driving with these people. And at one point, I kind of felt like, "Oh, this could be an interesting five-some." Like, we could do some things here. But, you know, don't really take it there myself. I just am receptive and feel a little night out and writing the waves. And I'm actually quite proud of myself at this point because last year, I would have been in bed. And it's like, after 11, right at that point. And I'm like, I'm still awake. I'm out here. I'm doing stuff. And I feel great. And I don't know. I guess a few more minutes go by. And before I know it, I realize it's starting to get crowded again. And I just don't like crowds. So I'm- Tell them people, but it's lovely meeting you. Come say hi if you see me again. I might only get some fresh air, which is why I escaped for the last time. I wasn't trying to escape people. I was trying to escape crowds. Do you know what the difference there? Like, making a connection with people's fine. It's the crowd that- Yes, I understand. It's the overstimulation. Yeah. And so you get the overstimulation from the crowd. Plus the music of love. The music, yeah. Yeah. It's overstimulation. And you just want to- That's why we like lounges and chill environments, you know? Yes, yes, yes. So, I went to the elevator area. I realized two floors down with my room. So I decided, you know, let me just come back to the room. And I'll get my little break. And we'll see what happens. Came to the room and realized I'm tired. I'm going to go ahead and call in a night. But just in case my husband comes to the room, I'm going to keep my makeup on. I'm going to keep my hair done. And- Because that was at midnight at this point. I'm like, I'm not exactly done for if I had encouragement. But being alone, I'm done for, right? Okay. So I checked my apps. There was no messages. I checked the GPS because we have the Wi-Fi package. So I checked the GPS on my husband's phone to see where he's at. He said, the opposite side of the ship, he's nowhere near me. I'm like, okay, I'll just hang out in the room comfortably and bed. And before I knew it's about 1230 km, I checked my phone again. I was drifting off to sleep. I'm like, I'll just go to sleep now. So I went to sleep at 1230. Which is great on day one. Because day one is travel day. It's your hardest, you know, we haven't even explored the ship yet. Because we've been on the ship before. I am almost certain. We were on the celebrity summit. Yes. Twice. I don't remember being on this ship. I am positive we've been on the ship before. Anyway, we haven't explored this ship this time. Okay. So that's what I did. Today, I'm hoping to explore the ship more. And let's hear what my husband Steve did last night. I left you at the hall pass meeting greet. There were several couples there that I had been chatting with via telegram. There was the local couple to our area that I like. They were there as well. The unicorn that kind of not joined us on the cruise ship. She's got her own place. But over the course of chatting some of the people out there, she realized that she was probably going to want to hang with us more than anyone else. And she asked us if it would be all right if we put her on her chat profile. Going back to that. At the time because she's a volunteer on the ship, she wasn't able to have her own profile. And she knew this time around. She wanted to make more connections. So she's like, Hey guys, when we did a video call and all this, she was like, Hey guys, I trust you guys. Can you add me to your profile for the meantime? Once I get my own profile, we'll see where we are from there. So what my husband's referring to is probably three weeks ago before the cruise even started, we added her to a profile. And so people were trying to communicate or express interest in her through our profile, right? And our profile indicated, you know, Tori, Steve and unicorn. And she wanted to be identified as a unicorn and labeled as such. We followed her request. Absolutely. So then people kept coming and coming and coming. The room got so crowded. It did. It got really, really crowded. Even after I left? Yes. It got way worse. Oh my God. So to the point where like you couldn't put your arm out and not touch someone and do like a circle and everyone was in the same boat. So I guess everyone has a haul pass basically because that was the haul pass meetup. Yeah. It was the, it was probably like the most popular meet and greet that we went to honestly on that ship. Mm-hmm. Anyway, so I did what it could as I started introducing every, all the people I'd been communicating with. I said, so I brought a couple, a to couple, b brought in a couple, c from over there, double d couple, making all the connections, the connector. Yes. The local couple that I like to our area in Florida indicated that they were going to step out because it was just getting too crowded and they were going to go to the dance floor. I'm so glad I wasn't the only one. And then a couple of the other couples dipped out and at some point within a 10 minute period it was just me and the unicorn. Oh, well, hey now the story's getting good. Okay. She was like, I can't believe you brought five people into the play room and you just gave us a tour and then walked right out. Okay. Okay. So when the meetup was just getting started, we found our local friends and we were like, hey, have you guys been to the play room yet? And they're like, no, no, no. So like before the meetup actually happened, we walked them all through the play room. So she's referring to that quick tour walking through. Right. So this play room was lighted in a very light blue dim lighting and it looked amazing. It was very glowy. It looked like I've seen the other play rooms on other ships, but like this one, it was just the lighting. It was just just brought the elevated the room a little bit. They had white sheets, white curtains, everything sheer and then this light blue like a or a like just saturated the entire room. It was great. I said, hey, let's all go check out the play room. Everyone in the group, I think, assumed that I was trying to lead us all to the play and they all were down because apparently because they all went and then the equally surprised was like, wait, wait, what? That was it. I'm really surprised that they would think that because we literally just got pretty, we literally just got our costumes on and we came down. So I don't know about anyone else, but if I put on my costume, I don't want to just jump into the sac right away. I want to be able to party a little bit before I go out. Missy. And I did say specifically, it's like, no, no, we're just getting a give a tour. And then the unicorn, and I think the female half of the couple from that was local to us was like, uh-huh, sure. You know, there was a little thought in the back of my mind that maybe like someone was going to stop the train or the tour and like start initiating things. But I kind of didn't want that to happen. And there was a few people that missed us at the under 45 meet and greet that said that they were going to make a strong effort to be at the hall pass meet and greet just so they can meet us. And so I didn't want to lose those connections just because play right. Yeah. Right. Okay. So you're at this meetup. Our friends leave you behind. It's just you and the unicorn. Then it happens. So she of course expressed her surprise that we didn't play in as well. Do you want to play now? And she says, well, yes, absolutely. So we went right back to that same play room. We selected out of bed and we jumped right into it. It was a good play session. It lasted for about 90 minutes. We did involve another couple that was playing next to us a little bit. It wasn't like full on, but it was like she didn't want to interact with the husband. But the wife was like really into her. And so she allowed the wife to interact with her and the wife allowed me to interact with her. But the unicorn didn't want to interact with the husband. It was a very interesting like boundary no conversation dynamic that took place there. Where he asked permission and she said no, thank you. And then the but the wife had already received permission. He didn't make any issue it. He didn't make any faces or anything and he was okay with it. Nice. That's good. Compersion for his wife. And then the wife asked if I wanted to play with her a little bit. I played with her a little bit. So you got some sexy fun time. Yeah, sexy fun time for sure. And then the unicorn was like I would love just to keep playing all night, but I have to wake up at six or seven and it's already midnight plus. So I've really got to get going. We got dressed. I made it to the martini bar on the same deck before I ran into hill. Who did you run into? I can't see the names, but it's the couple that you wanted to meet the guy that you've been chatting to. So you found the couple that's been trying to check. Yeah. So when I made eye contact with the wife, she lit up like a Christmas tree and I've bounced up and down like it was Christmas morning. Oh my God. We ran over to each other and she was with a whole group of people, right? Yeah. And so she just darted away from them and I darted towards her and like magnets. Yeah, like little magnets and we made out right there. Oh my gosh. And it was fun. Belatedly I introduced myself to the husband, right? And then they introduced me to the friends that they were with. Now what's interesting is I had a crush on the wife of this couple that they were friends with. Oh my gosh. Last bliss cruise. Oh my gosh. I tried to meet with her three times. Oh my goodness. And the last time I met with her, I got a very like strong vibe that she was not interested in. Okay. Like she looked at me, gave me like the like the egg face like little and then did like the shoulder turn and walk away. And one of the very first things she says to me is like, look at you sexy. Okay. And she was like, hi, where have you been all year? And so they tell the story where last year she was literally sick on the ship, literally sick. So the egg was not you? It wasn't me. She was like literally sick. And she remembers seeing me at the time because she remembers us trying to connect and she remembers thinking she had no energy to give that meat and did not. When you are sick, you do not feel sexy. You do not feel all of that. So she just, I have no time for this right now and then turned away, right? What else are you going to do when you're not feeling good? Yeah. So I'm there with the couple that we haven't chatting with recently. And then now I'm with the couple that I liked on the previous bliss cruise but never had a chance to meet and we're all hanging out, right? The husband of the couple from last year, what an amazing guy. Like wow. What do you mean? He's so friendly, so encouraging, so compersion for his wife. Such like what an amazing guy. And we got along really, really well. We told jokes left back and forth. We, I don't know, it was just really great. Apparently those two couples have been best friends for like years. Oh my God, that's great. Years. I love that connection, right? And are they local to us or different state? Far away. Far away. Yeah, Kansas I think. Maybe we'll travel to Kansas. Maybe. I didn't know it at the time. They didn't tell me until later in the night but the female half of the couple that we were talking to was on her way to go to bed. She had no energy. She was done. I was falling asleep at that time too, on 1230. Yeah. She was done. They were trying to get her to rally. It was a failing effort. Right. I show up and everything changes. Oh my gosh. So I can totally imagine what that would be like. I won't experience that. So the husband is like, Hey, do you want to go to the playroom now? Oh God. And they were all about it. Okay. Everyone was all about it. Yay. So I was all about it except I literally within the last five minutes had just walked out of a very long play session. Right. Unicorn and some other someone else's wife. And I was like, okay, sure. Let's do this. I literally still have sweat beating off my head from that play encounter. I was a mess. I hadn't even showered. And I was like, guys, I really, they didn't care. They were like, no, let's just go. I don't care. Okay. So I was connecting with the wife from last year. She loves eye contact. She loves. So do you. Oh, yeah. And she's got a great smile. And she is just a ball of fiery fun. And then the female half of the couple that we've been talking to, we had a really great online connection leading up to, of course, our magnet, like me. And she was a little tipsy. And she got stuck in this loop, like this conversational loop about, what was it? If it was something from her, oh, this twerking challenge. Okay. And she couldn't stop talking about the twerking challenge. So from the moment I met her, she was in the middle of this twerking story. And then she was still trying to talk about the twerking story. As we're like getting our clothes off. And well, you have your own twerking story. Did you tell her about yours? I mean, we talked about lots of different things. Okay. Okay. I have performance issues. What do you mean? So we'll have for a bit. They select a single bed, right? And there's five of us on this one bed. Right. They start playing because, of course, you know, they're best friends, right? And so I'm the outsider. The couple that we've been chatting to online, that husband made a move to like try to wake you up and get you involved. How so? Well, he was like, hey, before we enter the playroom, do you think your wife would be interested? Can we go find her? And I was like, no, no, no, no, she's she's in bed. She's sleeping. Well, you didn't know at this point. I had totally assumed by that time you were sleeping. I could have been still pretty and waiting for you at that point. Don't it? I said, no, she's she's out for sure. And sleeping. And he's like, we can't wake her up. I was like, that would be that would be a bad idea. He's like, so he was he gave the little crestfallen face. Like he was really excited to meet you. Yeah, it will happen today. He was really excited to meet you. So it gave me the feeling that I was an unbalanced, I created an unbalanced there. Oh, because it's three guys and two women. Right. Now the couple from last year, I didn't get that feeling from the husband at all, right? But I don't think I really got it from him either except for just the comment. And then like it just got in my head. Oh, that stuck in your head a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit. I'm like, man, I wish, you know, I could go. Grab the unicorn, but no, I could go grab this person, but no, you know, and so I just I wanted to equal it up because I know it had been on his mind at least at some point, right? So what happened? You're in the playroom. So for the first 20 minutes, I'm not really functioning to be honest with you. Because you have played for an hour and a half by that point. Like it's already getting a little embarrassing, you know, a little bit. But I just kind of power through it. I was able to get erected, but I couldn't stay erected because, you know, they had a condom rule. I'm okay with a condom rule. Normally that's not an issue except after you've just had sex for several hours and then you want to put, you know, a condom on. It's like, well, there's it's already kind of half numb from hours of use. And then you're going to double numb it by putting a condom on. It was just a difficult hurdle for me to overcome. So I was able to get hard to put a condom on and then it would deflate. And then I went through two cycles of that. So what did you do at that point? So I made them squirt. I used my fingers. I went down on them. I rubbed their back. At some point, I rallied. You rallied. I was able to rallied. So that means you're able to sustain a erection? Yes. You played? I played. For a long time. And it was good. And two hours, how long? Two hours. Wife from last year loved it. What did you mean? Really loved it. I think she was like, we had the intense eye contacts. We had like intimate body movement. I don't know like a flow, like rhythm and everything. It was just, yeah, it was just very sexy sex. I don't know how else to describe it. Very, very sexy sex. I had heard one husband say to the other guy, it's like, oh, that got hot really quick. And he was like, yeah, that just came out of nowhere. Because I guess they'd already like assumed that I wasn't going to be working that night. Right. And that happened. So thanks for the rally. You just wanted a break. I did. I really could have used a shower. I really could have, you know, and I don't know. There was a plus five people on one bed. I like, you know, the intimate eye contact. And when you're like trying to stay level because there's three people on the left corner of the bed and you're trying to play at a 45 degree angle and you're dealing with, you know, your performance issue and you're sweating because you're in the sauna. It was the sauna room. Oh, I haven't been there yet. Oh my gosh. So it was warmer than all the other places on the ship for a damn sure. So I'm sweating like a pig in that room. And so it was just, I had everything stacked against me in that moment. Thankfully, they had a great time and they're definitely looking forward to more experiences and the wife of last year and I talked about having a special experience. It's like, I want to hear about this. What? No, we talked about it. I said I wasn't sure. But we'll see. We'll see. What does this mean? It's just a special like play date. Okay. That's all. Just a special play date. And then I would have played more with the other wife, but in her tipsiness, she was very like squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. And when she was in her play moment, she came out and like, listen, I can drink or I can have sex. I cannot do both. And I've already drank. She was very clear. So it sounds like it was just the girl from last year. She had sex too. We're not going to say that she didn't, but at the same time, there was a hyper amount of jokes laughing. And why would you say that kind of moments? Why would you say that moments? And it was fun. It was fun and a familiar. You don't have to have concern or worry about judgment. Kind of fun. But it was definitely odd for me as the outsider coming in, not used to. And they were all used to her being that way. Right. And they were laughing about it. Look at this guy. Not sure what to do with this. And yeah, so it was all around a really, really great night, a really great experience. How long did that play session last? We left the salarium at about 315. Okay. So I got another two hours. And I was probably only functional the last 45 minutes. Yeah. We went to go look for pizza afterwards. But one cafeteria sent us to the other one and the other one was like, no, you got to go back to the first one and we were like, never mind. And we just split up at that point. But we're definitely looking forward to getting you involved next time. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing them again. So when you didn't find the pizza, is that when you separated ways and came back to the cabin? Yeah, we seem like you showered off before you came to the room. Well, yeah, we, I mean, we jumped into pool actually. Oh, okay. At some point. Yeah. So anyway, so that was the end of the night. I came back to the room. My phone was blowing up with messages asking me to go to their cabin to play. I didn't. I didn't have the energy at that point. Obviously. And it's only day one of the crew guys. Right. And like, wow. So I know that we have a scheduled play date after lunch today. And so I'm excited about that. Me too. I'm excited for this day. I'm excited that I'm in bed with you. And you've got this gorgeous smile on your face. And I'm looking at the ocean and the horizon beyond your curves of your body right now. And I'm like loving life. Bliss day two. Let's go. All right. So do you have any goals or dreams or or I don't know? Check marks. Do you want to check off today for bliss day two? Okay. So today, I want to be able to have a great play experience with the couple for after lunch. Okay. We're going to have dinner with the couple that's local to us. Yes. That's a couple of restaurants, right? I would like to probably try to give them attention today if possible. And then there's one of two couples, depending on how things play out, you know, whatever, that I wouldn't mind seeking out and giving attention to that we, my yesterday, one of two. Because there was the newbie, newbie, newbie couple. What are we referring to? Do we have actually, do we have speed dating today? I think we have speed dating today at 11 a.m. No. Really? I am pretty sure you booked speed dating today. Today though. Let's see. Let's look at opening up the calendar. Opening up the bliss calendar app. We have got your right speed dating 11 30. Then we've got the martini class at 130. Nope. That was changed. That was changed to 12 45. We're going to have to go straight from speed dating because I get over at 12 30 to the martini bar. Nope. And then there's... Wait, wait, wait, wait, we don't want to have the people hear what we're doing today. They have to listen to tomorrow's episode. Let's close this episode off.
