I went in 1997 and it truly changed my life, but not in a way you might expect. I wasn't a huge fan of the cruise, and I would certainly not go again even if they still had them - except perhaps for business purposes only. (Score stopped hosting the cruise because it became too expensive and increasingly difficult to pull off year after year).
Believe it or not, there comes a point on the cruise when you're actually SICK of seeing boobs and the same models posing the same ways over and over again. I liken it to being in a strip joint -- it's a lot of fun at first, but imagine spending 7 consecutive days and nights, eating and **83** in one, with the SAME 20 girls? (especially one that gives you sea-sickness!) I don't think even the most hard-core boob fan would find that appealing.
I am eternally grateful that I went, however, because on the flight down to Barbados, I happened to be seated next to Danni Ashe, who had just started up something called a "website" and was doing very well with it. I got to talk to her and pick her brain for 3+ hours and after that, the knowledge and inspiration I gained from her made me decide to start my own site, which became PinupFiles and it changed my life forever -- for the better!
As far as "getting lucky", the only guys I knew who got lucky were the crew members of the ship. Our ship was based out of Sweden, so the entire crew was made up of these hunky, blonde, bronzed, blue-eyed Swedish guys who looked like Peter Forsberg clones. I know for certain that Busty Dusty hooked up with one guy and that Faye did the same with another. The person who informed me of this was Minka, who (bless her heart) was incredibly candid about all the stuff that went on behind the scenes that we passengers never saw. I happened to be seated next to Minka on the flight back and she told me that Busty and Faye were the ones she knew hooked up, but only with the crew guys. Although Minka did hit on me and stick her hand up my shorts and grab my bare ass when I went to put my luggage in the overhead bin. I politely declined because I had a seriosu girlfriend at the time and because I'm not really into Asian women -- her accent drove me nuts. Major erection killer.
but she's a nice lady and has one hell of an interesting background. (did any of you know she used to be a professional tennis player and was on the Korean Olypmic squad once upon a time?)
