Crew members are on strict orders that hooking up with passengers is forbidden. It can easily cost them their job. Keep your efforts to other passengers and not the crew. If you are looking to hook up on a cruise, the chances are you aren’t looking for love or anything long-term.

If you’re going to try to have a romance on a cruise ship, you need to be careful. Even though cruise ships can seem like sanitized vacations where everything is safe and clean, hooking up with strangers always carries risk. Use common sense and listen to your gut. Don’t go back to someone else’s cabin if you don’t feel comfortable.
