Desire Resort Forums

My wife and I booked this while at Pearl last week. First cruise of any kind, we are excited.

We had so much fun on the Desire French Riviera cruise, we booked this cruise too!

We've been to all the other places that the other cruises offer - although we've been to the Caribbean many times, there are some islands we haven't visited yet + we love the Carib!

We just booked this cruise as well when we were at Pearl last week. Too bad it's so far off but looking forward to it.

Hi all, please don't make fun of me for asking this but can anyone answer a few questions about this cruise:
How big is the ship, how many couples?
Where is it allowed to be nude?
Is any PDA/PDS allowed? If so wher on-board?

thanks

we went on the Venice-Rome cruise in 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed it and have booked for this

I think its the same class of ship so 350 couples. They told us we couldn't be nude in port but as soon as we got on the ship in Venice everyone was nude at the pool and that stayed the same throughout the cruise. You can only be nude in the playroom and at the pool.

There was PDA's at the pool but not too many, that was saved for the playroom/classes and cabins although a lot of us took advantage of the upper decks and played happily there, no one said anything ( felt like naughty schoolchildren)

It was better than we expected tbh and not unlike a desire resort.

We are booked. Will be our 3rd Desire cruise with a 4th booked as well.

The date has been changed - it's now 2/15/26 - 2/22/26.

We are booked for the West Indies Cruise scheduled for February of '27. We just got back from the Desire Rome to Barcelona cruise (our first Desire cruise). We had a great time! While on the cruise we immediately booked the West Indies cruise. The Rome - Barcelona cruise was on the Oceania Sirena. It's a smaller ship (700 passengers), but very nice. The West Indies Cruise is on the Oceania Allura, which is a brand new ship launching in July of '25. The Allura will have 1,400 passengers, twice the size of Sirena with larger cabins and looks very nice. On the Rome - Barcelona cruise, they had what we felt was a great play room and they did allow nudity at the pool and sun deck while we were in port. PDA's were not allowed anywhere besides your cabin or the play room. We assume this will all be the same on the West Indies Cruise. Who else has booked (or will book) for this cruise?

We are booked for the West Indies Cruise scheduled for February '26. While neither of us are "cruise people," preferring all inclusive resorts, we figured we'd try it and see if we like it.

Are there others in here going on the cruise this coming February?

We are booked on this cruise as well. We went on the Athens cruise in September 2024, and we are looking forward to this cruise as well.

we have booked this cruise, we are from singapore. This is our 4th desire cruise
