Theme nights are always a great experience aboard cruise ships. Bliss theme nights take it a step further, giving you great ways to explore your fantasies, get creative, or just have a bit of fun. On the Bliss Wonderland Cruise in November 2026, we're kicking off the trip with "Wonderland" as the first evening's theme! Short on ideas? We're here to help. Have an idea we missed?

The Bliss Celestial Cruise sails April 18-24, 2027 aboard Celebrity Silhouette, and as it turns out, the night sky seems to be joining the party. During six nights at sea, we'll have a full moon, two meteor showers, and even the chance to spot tiny pieces of Halley's Comet burning through Earth's atmosphere before sunrise.

If you're considering your first lifestyle cruise—or simply looking for your next unforgettable vacation, you've probably found yourself comparing Bliss Cruises and Desire Cruises. Both offer adults-only experiences for open-minded couples, incredible destinations, themed entertainment, and welcoming communities, yet each creates a distinctly different atmosphere. The good news is there isn't a wrong choice. The best cruise is simply the one that matches the kind of vacation

If you've visited our website recently, you may have noticed something different. Fun and Games has become Scarlet Compass. While the name has changed, the heart of what we do hasn't. When we first started, Fun and Games reflected our own personalities. It was playful, approachable, and perfectly fit a couple sharing a hobby they loved. As the business grew, though, so did our vision. We realized we weren't just helping people book cruises. We were helping people discover exp

Fun and Games July Newsletter It’s been a while; we’ve missed you! For those who don’t know, I spent the last year working full-time in the cruise industry. Between that, family life, and everything else that comes with being an adult, the newsletter took a backseat for awhile. Did you miss us? Sarah is currently at Naughty N'awlins and will be there through the weekend! If you're attending, stop by and say hello if you see her around the NOPSI. She'd love to connect, ans

Day 6: At Sea and Greek Gods and Goddesses Night We wake slowly, wrapped in warm skin and cotton sheets, with the hum of the sea as our background music. Neither of us is eager to move, but eventually the lure of coffee proves stronger than inertia. You kiss the top of my head before we slide from bed and pull on loose, comfortable clothes—nothing elaborate yet. The ship is quiet this time of morning—just the wind and the sea. We make our way to the Solarium—quiet and basking

Day 5: Cozumel, Mexico and Kinky Burlesque Night The shuttle to Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park rattles cheerfully over the narrow Cozumel roads, windows cracked just enough to let in the warm salt breeze. I lean into your side, sunglasses on and a lazy smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. My thighs are still a little sore—an unspoken souvenir from the night before—and your palm resting possessively on one of them doesn’t exactly help. We’re in a van full of other couples

Day 4: At Sea and Glow Night Steam curls around us in lazy tendrils as we sink deeper into the bubbling heat of the infinity whirlpool. The edge of the glass stretches out beside us, framing the endless horizon off the starboard side—blue on blue, sea and sky blending in the soft shimmer of early morning light. We’re not in a hurry. Naked, unbothered, half-draped across one another with covered coffee cups in hand, we let the hot water do the work of unwinding whatever tensio

Day 3: Labadee, Haiti and Hollywood Glamour Night I wake nestled under a sheet, my skin still tingling from last night’s marks. You’re already up, half-dressed and digging through the day bag. I catch the faintest hint of smugness in your posture—and fair enough, I suppose. I stretch, sore and satisfied, and you glance back at me with a grin that says you know exactly why. “Regrets?” you murmur, coming over to caress my shoulder and drop a kiss there. “Only that I can’t sit t
