Cheap Cruises Have 'So Much Cocaine And Group Sex', Former Worker Shares

The fame of cruise holidays as an indulgence in luxury, leisure, and rejuvenation in which ostentatious black-tie dinners enrich the nights is changing now.

According to reports, a new breed of young party-mad cruise-goers is ruining the reputation of the industry.

Their drunken binges and drug use make them behave like animals onboard. According to a former cruise ship worker, group sex is a favorite activity on cruise trips.

The shameful scenario of the blood-spilling drunken brawl in cruise ships was evident in the mass fighting in the British ship Britannica last week.

Such cruise sailings are no better than a rowdy Saturday night in the city center.

Commenting on the adverse passenger behavior borne by cruise deals, free drinks, and drunken antics, a former cruise entertainer said: “Most reasonably priced cruises and drinks packages turn guests into animals.”

One cruise worker said in anonymity that the new world in many cruise ships can be described as a mix of debauchery, violence, and unashamed nudity.

Short cruises are risky

According to a former entertainer who worked on many ships for more than five years, the short cruises are the worst.

“In these cheaper than standard version people go crazy drinking until the bar is dry.”

Heckling in the shows and open fighting after the clubs hours are common.

Claire Sanders, 29, called the booze cruise trips to Belgium and France “a nightmare”.

“The Brits were always the ones who took full advantage of all-inclusive drinks packages,” the ex-cruise staffer commented.

If people aren’t fighting they must be in the bliss of sedation “as they are taking drugs.”

The regular reports of cocaine being found ceased to have any surprise value.

Claire also mentioned the menace of a rising penchant for open sex and indulgence in open nudity outside the cabin.

Recalling a cruise around Australia and Fiji, where a couple got married on board, Sanders said they were “put off at the next stop” for doing sex on the deck.

Open sex and cocaine use

The passion of newlyweds may be understandable. But now most cruise passengers like getting frisky outdoors. Around ten percent cruisers admitted having “al fresco sex” on ships, according to a recent poll.

With cruise ships turning bigger and bigger resembling like floating cities carrying thousands of guests, the mood is set for unconventional and exotic “sexual pleasure.”

Cruise ship staff spending long months onboard believe in the maxim of working hard and playing harder.

According to a crew member, they work on 12-hour shifts. They also hold parties where things take a liberal turn.

“We had fancy-dress crew parties once a month and that’s when people would couple up. The Brits are very promiscuous. Everyone wanted to bed an officer because they had better cabins.”

One ex-employee revealed that many ship employees keep “ship wives/husbands” despite their marital status.

Meanwhile, the following statistics about sex on cruise ships reveal 98 percent of the 1,000 people considered a cruise as the most romantic vacation.

The poll by Royal Caribbean showed that 99 percent admitted the sex was their favorite cruise activity.

Some of the key findings of the poll include the following.

• 90 percent rank asserted sex is the top cruise activity.

• 75 percent of respondents said a cruise vacation improve their relationship.

• 62 percent said sex is superb at sea.

• 52 percent said it is more likely to be intimate on a cruise than land.

• 31 percent feels night time is the right time to get risky,

• 28 percent said sex is fine on any time of day --morning, noon or night.

Cruises are still great

However, Lisa Minot, Travel Editor said the joy of cruising is not gone.

In her view, like in any holiday destinations on land, some elements behave weirdly in a way they would not do at home.

“I have cruised on more than 20 ships and never seen any of the scenes that unfolded recently on Britannia.” she asserted.
