Vacation Provider

I'm thinking of trying to find a provider to take on a cruise trip. Has anyone taken a provider on a vacation and is there any experience that could be shared?

My advice, don't find a provider for a cruise as your first date. You are stuck on a boat together. If anything goes wrong, you are STUCK. Getting off at a port and catching flight is a hassle, so this is not really the best answer to being stuck. I think taking a provider on a cruise is best reserved for a provider you have built a relationship with and have been seeing for awhile.

 
If you want to go there at some point, first find a provider you want to repeat with to make sure the magic continues. Build up to longer dates. If it continues to go well, take a vacation on land, something like a weekend together.

 
That said, if you really have your heart set on a cruise and do not want to wait so long, start with a short one. And, at the very least, book one longer date on land with her, maybe an overnight, before you set sail.

Unless you are going to spring for a two bedroom suite or separate cabins, I would advise against going there.  Spending time in the confines of a ship with anyone you don't know well could easily prove disastrous (think of things like do either of you snore?).  

Having over 300 nights cruising, and even if I ever entertained taking my favorite provider on a ship, it would not be without hesitations.  How do you know how compatible you really are with each other outside of great sex.  It's one thing to see someone for two or three hours once a month or so, but a whole different can of worms spending time doing other things besides having sex.  (And then of course if things do go well, she may be thinking she's your girlfriend, which opens yet another can.)  

Lots to think about before you go down that path.

Also, “Trying to find a provider”, are you thinking about going into this cold? Why not take someone you already know?  

 
Aren’t most cruises seven days or more? I wouldn’t think about that until I had seen the woman for an hour or two once or twice, a multi hour dinner date, an overnight and a two day sex-bender. At least.  

 
Also have a couple very candid conversations about expectations and boundaries. How much sex is expected? How much alone time is expected? Are you doing shore excursions together? Etc etc. You’ll see the same people around the ship over and over again, especially if you go to the dining room for dinner. If she’s not okay with any sort of PDA, the two of you will start to stick out.  

 
You don’t mention if you have ever been on a cruise so forgive me if this is painfully obvious. I’ve been on a few and I highly doubt it’s possible to go with someone without knowing each other’s full real names. Maybe it’s possible but I really don’t think so.  

 
Have fun!

I have read several posts online about MSC being awful.  Are you speaking from experience or from reading similar posts? We were docked next to one of their new ships in the DR and it was striking from the outside and I was interested even though we don't do big ships too often.

Except for the pizza the food was mediocre and the people really sucked. A bunch of low-end Euro-trash.

And I do NOT recommend. It’s what Nicky said, only he’s being too nice.  

 
Contemptuous staff. Vast majority of passengers were indeed eurotrash. Maybe 30% of the shower floors on the ship got wet at some point during the seven days. That’s the nicest thing I can say about my fellow passengers.  

 
The best food on the ship was mediocre. On my trip, the pizza made microwaved red Barron look like Michelin starred cuisine.  

 
Disorganized. Getting on and off the ship, the life boat drill, etc, was all chaos.  

 
The ships do look very nice, as another poster said. Looks aren’t everything.

Surprised to hear that. Their cruise ships seem very nice?

I have been fortunate to make friends for life & they don’t write me any reviews, but I do whitelist. lol I love vacations! I would prefer a daycation, staycation, or what I call a Momcation over a 1 hour date anytime. II truly cherish my adult fun time, so it’s exciting to plan an epic adventure a month in advance to plan our fun time. I have been flown out to accommodate gents who desire my personalized care from the heart. ♥️ I get to pack only sexy outfits for our dream date it’s the best!

Yes on the first meeting it is possible to have a blast. Chemistry is everything. Read my information provided. Maybe we can be friends. 😊

I posted this here two years ago on the same topic, and used a recent Hawaiian vacation as an example.  Wouldn't be too hard to make the necessary modifications for a cruise ship.  I pay for everything except her time, and there is never a shortage of providers who will take the deal if everything is five-star luxury.  

This subject has come up many times over the years and there are tons of posts with advice

Either bring someone you know VERY well, or do an overnighter first before taking a girl you never met on the cruise. Sometimes two very good people are just incompatible vacation partners. Best to find that out before you drop 10k or more.

sloshpuppy,
  I think what evryone is saying is before planning a vacation with a provider. Make sure you have the right provider. Ask question that are related to the future plans and see where it goes (Include Cruises, Other activities that you & the provider(s) can do).  

You all have given me some excellent advice. I will for sure heed the advice and not rush. Sounds like my plan for a cruise was not such a good idea. Perhaps a land trip is best, which I also love just as much. Thanks for a great community here!

An escort is going to charge you for 24 hours each of 7 days as if she would other have missed those fully booked opportunities.

Find a young sugar babe instead. She'll be more impressed by just being taken on a trip she can't afford herself.

It's the assumption that the young sugar babe will be impressed. Trust me, TikTok and Twitter/X has been schooling your young sugar babes and they are beginning to clock y'all quick, fast, and in a hurry. My DMs on social media are filled with local sugar babies asking me to verify people, how to negotiate, etc. So let's just call the sugar babies what they are... and realize they are learning quickly. I digress.  

 
The large swath of providers fall into one of two camps for travel: the "set it and forget it" rate or the "bespoke" rate. The "set it and forget it" means they likely have a set rate for for "x" amount of days and then a set daily rate kicks in. The "bespoke model" or custom rate has been trending in the industry with providers determining the rate based on everything from length of date, location, proposed itinerary, etc. Each has their pros/cons. I respect that the "Set it and forget it" providers believe that their time should be fairly compensated regardless of where/what is occurring just as much as I respect the "custom/bespoke" providers who seek to find a middle ground where they feel their time is fairly compensated while also getting the chance to go somewhere/do something that maybe wouldn't have happened before.

Examples:

 
Set it and Forget It
1 Day: $5000
2 Days: $9000
Each Additional Day: $2500

 
Bespoke/Custom Model
Overnight: $4000
1 Day: $5000
2 Days or Longer: please inquire for special rates/custom pricing based on itinerary

I can understand your financial incentive for talking newbie competitors into pricing themselves out of the market.

However the reality is that there are thousands of single chicks who are in low paying jobs, all chasing the top 5% of hot guys, and therefore getting pumped and dumped or on booty call only that would never imagine charging $5000 a day to go on a vacation.   At $15/hr minimum wage job, they might clear $600 a week before taxes for 40 hours.  If you paid them $500 a day for a week -- you really think they're going to say no to $3500 instead of working 40 hours for $600?
.
Even at $200 a day they're better off.

I have an account on a sugar babe site.  I don't post my picture publicly.  I post my real age, 71.  I average about three or four message requests a day.  I suppose if I posted my pic, being so ugly, those requests would dry up.  But even so, given the stated age, at best these chicks are imagining hooking up with a grandpa of some sort.  They need cash.

Now I feel like I have to ask…

How ugly are you, Lester?

I was thinking of sending Wheat Waffles the $5 for an objective rating.  He only rates 2 through 8.  Saying that 8's and above are perfect enough, and 2 and below are disfigured.  So I would guess I am a 3.
.
But surprise, surprise, it turns out cash is the great equalizer!

$5,000,000 is a ten for most women.  Lol
