Remember when it took five minutes for the TV to warm up, when a quarter was a decent allowance? Running through the sprinkler, circle pins, bobby pins and the Mickey Mouse Club? The 1960’s is the decade that defined the Boomers. The music, events, and the social changes made a permanent impression on us. However as we all know its attitude, not age that defined this singles group. To define it any other way would have been to deeply underestimate them!

Halloween Singles Cruise Extravaganza at Sea!Thank you to all who joined us on our recent Halloween cruise – what a blast we all had! I loved our pool party at the Bahia Mar, it was a great venue for a nice meet and greet before we set sail on Halloween 2009! The entire week of weather was fabulous! The highlight was most definitely Halloween night when we paraded around in our creative costumes, sang the night away, and chose our costume contest winners! 06Oct
Short Weekend Singles Cruise to BahamasFor a short cruise, our recent weekend Singles Cruise to the Bahamas and back was a blast! We landed in Nassau on Friday and our group traveled all over the island to explore the Atlantis mega-resort, snorkel in the warm Caribbean water, or just kick back at Senor Frogs. Back on ship, we had a great time during our cabin wine crawl and took so many fun pictures. I know some of our cruisers even returned to the island to party after dinner and most of our group joined the deck party that night! Some of us even ventured off to go cliff diving! 17Sep
New Singles Cruisers from Around the WorldWe had a lot of newbies join us on this singles cruise which was fabulous! Our initial meet and greet for our group at the Essex Hotel before the cruise departed was wonderful and we continued the fun with a scrumptious dinner at the world famous Clevelander on Ocean Ave in South Beach Miami!
Wow, what diversity on this trip! Our singles group had representation from Peru, Columbia, Mexico, Canada, Scotland and Great Britain……I love when our little ladies came in the room and announced “The Columbian Ladies have arrived!” They were adorable and so full of life and laughter. 28Aug
SinglesCruise.com Cruisers Explore New OrleansI had the pleasure of escorting this great bunch of people on our five day cruise from New Orleans. First of all, let me advise you to never let the size of a group at the time you make your reservations stop you from going! You may forfeit the chance to meet some very cool, fun and interesting people if you do. Although small in number on this particular sailing, we were mighty in spirit and everyone had a terrific time. It seemed everybody became really good friends easily and quickly so that the whole week was a riot. It may have had something to do with most of them getting to know each other prior to the cruise on our SinglesCruise.com message boards and making plans to meet up in New Orleans one or two days before the cruise. 24Aug
Relaxing Summer Singles Cruise to MexicoWe just got back from our singles cruise to Mexico on the Carnival Splendor, CCL’s newest ship, and a beauty she is! They created this ship with all the best attributes in mind. The layout is fantastic.
Off to Mexico to the fun-filled ports of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. The weather was only in the 60′s as we left Long Beach, a bit chilly for California, but by the time we reached Puerto Vallarta it was well into the 90′s!

A Dream Singles Cruise to the MedOur 2009 European singles cruise was a great time had by all. All of the singles in our group enjoyed vacationing together and seeing the amazing sights on this dream itinerary through the Mediterranean. Check out next year’s Greek Isles and Turkey itinerary.
We started out in Barcelona. You can tell as soon as you land in Barcelona and take a taxi from the airport that this city is a magical place and I could not wait to get out of the cab, drop my stuff at Hotel Victoria and hit the street to take it all in. 21Jul
Weekend Singles Cruise to CozumelJust got back from Texas Ya’ll and our weekend cruise to Cozumel! There is no better place in the world to experience down to earth, bright eyed, good American folk! They are always “fixen’” to do something or “fixen” to get somewhere. I just love it.
Thankfully the “FAB FIVE” were in the house to greet our fun singles group! That’s Jocelyn, Ken, Lynn, Mark and Marlene. They sure welcomed Bernie with open arms. Before we even got on the boat those guys initiated him and he took it like a trooper!

Summer Singles Cruise FunThese cruisers were so nice and so FUNNY!!! Our group of singles on this trip was a very creative bunch and a motley crew. We had a young lady named Johanna that travelled all the way from Australia to cruise with us!
We met for pre-cruise cocktails the night before the ship set sail – and started happy hour an hour earlier than scheduled thanks to the infamous Chuckster! It was a fun night for all and a great time for everyone to get to know one another. We went to the newly remodeled Clevelander where we met up with a few more of our cruisers – I almost bounced Richard on account that I thought he was trying to sneak into our group…my bad! Sorry Richard J 22Apr
New Yorkers Show Off their New Dance Moves!New York City is the BEST city in the World! It was great to have so many native New Yorkers and NY neighbors on this cruise. Watching the Statue of Liberty float by as we set sail was really outstanding.
We were blessed with a jovial group, one with a boogie in their step! These guys were dancing machines! After our first dance class we found out that Chris, one of our cruisers, was a fantastic dance instructor! So we had an extra three classes that were so packed, we were busting at the seams of the door. It was great to see such an active and fun-filled group interested in learning how to dance. Alexandra was definitely our dancing queen. She could tear up a mean rug! |
