Azamara Quest from Venice - Insider knowledge and THE way to travel

In less than a year from now we will be sailing with The Swinger Cruise on the Azamara Quest from Venice

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go.  Setting new records for light packing.  Only ONE suite case for my 20 day jaunt to Europe.  I have however hooked up with several excellent laundry services.  

 

Did you know for $99 you can get unlimited laundry on Windstar cruises?  Brilliant!  I'm heading to Rome to join a food and wine cruise after my Venice site inspections so this allowed me to take only one checked bag.

I'm on my way to Venice to review the plans for the Swinger Crusie sailing from Venice next June on the Azamara Quest.  I think I have the perfect amount of time alloted to plan every detail and equip myself with the local knowledge needed to be the perfect hostess for my friends and clients booked to sail with TheSwingerCruise.com.

 

In attempt to make my travel day as plesant as possible I bought the Envoy upgrade when I checked in on line yesterday.  Last seat, and worth it!  Perhaps some day I will buy full fare Envoy service... but until then, I'm happy to get the upgrade at check-in.  

 

I generally have a tough time with flying from the west to the east.  A 6 hour time change cleans my clock.  So having a big cushy seat will be such a treat.  The other thing I do to help overcome the crazy jet lag is to arrive a day early so I can adjust before wanting to get on the party train called TheSwingerCruise.com

 

Pleasant surprise is that in addition to a lovely reclining seat to sleep in on my red eye flight to Venice the Transatlantic Envoy Lounge for US Airway at the Philadelphia Airport is really a first class experience!  While waiting for my fligiht I was able to enjoy marinated artichokes, proscuttio, cheese selection, crackers, olives and a very happy gherkin!

I'm also enjoying a glass of Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano D'abruzzo a nicely priced Italian wine that we buy frequently at home. 

 

Have you seen the itinerary for the Azamara Quest from Venice next summer?  It's awsome!  TheSwingerCruise.com for details  Arrivederci!  See you in Italy!

Where to stay with 4000 swingers in town?

That's a very good question and it's worth asking early on.   Where will 4000 swingers stay when they come to town for the biggest lifestyle event ever?

Well if our plans are correct they won't just stay there they will get the party started a night early.  My misison this week is to figure that out!

There will be a huge influx of swingers who are ready to party.  The cruise sails on Sunday... so I imaging Cruisers will be arriving on Friday and Saturday to get the party started a little early.

If a ship this big is full, where will all those couples stay the night before?

One thing we have learned from experience is that it's important to arrive in town the night before a big cruise.  That way you avoid any risk of flight delays leaving you standing on the dock and missing the ship.   The other possible snafu that gets avoided is a lost or delayed baggage.  I for one would be upset if I had to sail with out all my shoes and well thought out theme party costumes.

For the freedom of the Seas you will fly to Orland - Airport code MCO

What's Next for The Swinger Cruise

The Swinger Cruise: The next big thing

Things for TheSwingerCruise.com have been hopping since the first YOLO Cruise in April of 2009.  Cruises came one after the other. Huge events with barely a moment to catch our breath.  

We sailed the Radiance of the Seas with Couples Cruise in November 2010 and again with CouplesCruise.com in April 2011.

Now we are at an exciting point in time.  Now we are evaluating past projects and looking at the exciting new cruises on the horizon for The Swinger Cruise.

During 2012 there are more swinger cruises than ever before.  The types of ships and destinations have also improved dramatically. 

The Next Cruise is...

Windstar from St. Martin January 21-28, 2012
Embark, Enjoy, Explore...
Simply put this is THE best lifestyle trip we have ever been on. The atmosphere was open and sensual, the guests were smart and sexy. The overall Windstar experience is like no other with excellent dining and service. There is a wine & alcohol package that can be added on. We recommend it!

Are you thinking about joining us?
We certainly hope so. If you are still deciding take a look!
We just added videos, pictures, reviews and highlights  so you can really see what sets this cruise apart from other adult only vacations.

Open, Playful, Sensual...
What made the trip for us were the people.  We met well traveled, intelligent couples who shared a genuine love for life and a sense of adventure!

Windstar is not a barefoot cruise. 
It offers casual luxury with upscale dining. Luxury cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere.   A drink package that includes almost everything. 

Upscale and Authentic :  Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Peter Island, Martinique.
Travel thru seas of crystal clear waters that change from bright turquoise to deep blue.  Visit island beaches where only the yachting crowd go. 

Theme Parties & Play rooms?  Of course!
Just because it's up scale don't think there isn't a rocking party!  156 couples can really get things going. More about Parties

This is something just a little different than the big ships... we think it's better.  

Azamara Quest from Venice June 10-17, 2012

Upmarket & Authentic Europe

An exciting way to experience this romantic city

Venice plus a luxury cruise to ports straight out of  'lifestyles of the rich and famous.'

 

Only 350 couples will have the privilege of sailing to the best of the Adriatic.  Not sure what that means?  Take a look!

Join us for a fabulous pre-cruise experience.  We are making sure everything will be perfect and personally visiting Venice to inspect and hand select the top hotels. 

What else is planned? Our 'MUST DO' pub crawl and cicchetti tour on Thursday and a Venetian Masquerade party on Friday.  Optional group excursions will include things like day trips to

The service on Azamara is amazing!
