Cruises are mostly for civvie couples, families, and more recently, college spring breakers.  So think of a ship as an island: if you don't bring it there, you won't find it there.  The only guaranteed way to enjoy a provider on a cruise is to book a vacation getaway with your ATF.

A group of horn-dogs should plan a trip together and chip in on one or two provider(s) together.  That would be the way to do it.  Although, I find old divorcees and widows to be fertile ground, so I would think there would be plenty of filler time opportunities on a typical cruise.  But the providers would be a fail safe.  Maybe spring for younger ladies, for variety sake, given the fact the native cruisers will be geriatrics.  If older gals catch you with one of the providers, introduce them as your daughter.  That will go a long way toward fantasy exploration later, when your turn in the rotation cums up!.

After my mother died, my father, at the age of 83, was hired to dance with the single women on a cruise ship.  I told him that he had become a gigolo in his old age.

He gave it up when he started going with his current girlfriend.

I am afraid that that is the level you can expect on most cruise ships.

The populations size on a ship is small - maybe 2,000 people or so - far too small to reflect the overall land-based population.  And, if even 1 or 2 escorts were onboard, they're probably vacationing, not working.  And, even in that unlikely case, your choices will be very limited abnout who you hire.

I went on a short (4-day) cruise a few months ago.  I brought my favorite lady along, at her usual rate, and we had a blast.  It was well worth the cost.

What exactly is the legal aspect of this?

Who has jurisdiction on a cruise ship?  Capt. Stuebing?  Julie McCoy?  Captain Kirk?  Captain Crunch?

Or is a cruise ship possibly the land of the free, and the home of the horny?

I always wondered

what Julie McCoy did as "Cruise Director" on The Love Boat ...

what about these private resorts or islands that offer providers. does anyone have any info on these?

I take cruises as my vacation.  I would never think to "work" while on board.  The ship is only 1800 people and while I am sure I could probably get work - I don't as it is my vacation.

My suggestion is take your ATF along or a gal to make your ATF.  Cruises can be a ton of fun - especially those that are geared towards something in particular - mine are smooth jazz cruises.

I've been on a few cruises and have never seen anything that would be indicative of a provider working.  

But you never know what you may find in the bars & casino late at night. It's vacation, so a lot of people are looking to let loose and have some fun.  It was pretty easy to find the civie women who were looking to hook up. I was surprised how many solo travelers there were on the short cruises I took (3-4 nighters), many of them being women.

besides...what if you didn't like your client, stuck all week on a cruise ship with him is not exactly my idea of fun...no way to escape lol.
