FantaSea Connections Cruise

First-Time Lifestyle Cruise Guide

Curious but not sure what to expect? Here's how to feel confident and comfortable on your first FantaSea sailing.

Many FantaSea guests are first-time lifestyle cruisers. You don't need experience — just an open mind and a willingness to have fun at your own pace.

Go at your own pace

Nothing is required. Join the events that interest you, skip the ones that don't, and enjoy the ship like any other cruise whenever you want.

Meet people early

Attend the opening welcome and first-timer meet-and-greets. They're the easiest way to make friends who'll make the week special.

Respect and consent

No always means no, and asking first is expected. Lifestyle communities are known for clear, respectful communication.

Plan your theme night outfits

Theme nights are a highlight. Pineapple Groves, the official FantaSea clothing partner, makes it easy to shop each theme before you sail.

What to pack

  • Outfits for each theme night
  • Swimwear and cover-ups
  • Comfortable shoes for port days
  • Sunscreen and travel essentials
