We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful
A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on.
Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers.

Taking to TikTok to share her story, she explained that she and her partner went to the ship's nightclub on the first night as they tried to settle in and get their bearings.
That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed.
But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before.
According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy.
The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies.
"It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video.
But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker.
She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on.
After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her.
"This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said.

That's when the man, who was sat with his wife, allegedly bent down to try and look up Robyn-Jay's skirt.
She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife.
The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her.
"I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said.
After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky.
"I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said.
And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video.
"This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote.
And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships.
Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship
Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper.
Pros
Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures
Meet new people
Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food
Cons
Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive
Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation
Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports
Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels
No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library
Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally.
Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.
