Day One
I walked up the plank of the Cruise Ship, very excited. This assignment was going to a blast, not only was this the newest business venture of Bare Bottom Resorts, but I was getting paid to go on this cruise! Checking out the facilities and all that sort of thing... I had to say, as my first cruise I was very much looking forward to it. The people around me seemed to be pretty excited too, talking and joking - my only regret was that I was all alone and many of the people here seemed to be with other people.
Although a very attractive guy who was with a group up ahead of me kept looking back and checking me out. There were girls in his group but he didn't seem to be attached to a particular one of them, so the next time he looked back at me I smiled encouragingly at him and he smiled back. Well, maybe this wouldn't be so lonely after all... at the very least there are possibilities!
The cruise was leaving from Florida and was going through the Caribbean, although I personally was not planning on getting off the ship. I couldn't even remember what islands we were stopping at, because I didn't really care. The ship was my destination... besides, I wasn't getting paid to check out the islands, and anything I paid for on them I'd have to use my own money. It was a short cruise, but I was going to get my free-ride's worth onboard!
Cruise ship rooms are not very big when they're only for one person, but that's ok. The point of going on a cruise isn't to stay in your room, so I wasn't going to be complaining too much... and really I had a feeling that I'd gotten a rather nice single room anyway. There was a bigger bed than I'd expected - being all on my own - and the bathroom was nicely proportioned. Everything seemed to be designed to fit easily into the smallish space without making you feel too crowded. Even though it was a short cruise I was a very neat person so I unpacked everything into the dresser. Besides, I needed to try that out too. Of course, it helped that everything I had to unpack was my outfit for when the cruise was over. So I put the outfit I was wearing into a separate drawer.
One thing about being on this cruise alone, I was going to have to leave the safety of my own room alone. Everyone else had friends to help make them feel comfortable about walking around nude; I never had any problem once I got into the swing of things but I always hated taking the first step out that door. But take it I did, I had a lot to do!
Walking around on the upper deck I picked up one of the free stickers that they had, placing the little heart on my hip. Wearing the sticker meant that I would be able to tell how much I'd tanned at the end of the day, and the sign guaranteed that the stickers wouldn't come off in water. That made sense, they wouldn't be much good that way since most of the upper deck was pools and tanning beds, along with a few cafes. I decided to take a quick dip.
Paddling myself around the pool I ran into the guy that had been checking me out on the way onto the ship. Very cute, he introduced himself as Matt and we hit it off right away, talking and getting to know each other. His friends pretty much left us alone - they were involved in a very interesting game of Chicken... the girl's were on the guys shoulders and their hands seemed to go over each other's body parts more than actually trying to push the other girls off. Not like there wasn't heightened sexual energy just about everywhere... a lot of the crowd in the pool seemed to be pretty young and the slick wet bodies were causing more than a few hard ons.
In fact I noticed that Matt was having trouble not looking at my bare breasts as they bobbled in the water and I splashed him the next time I caught him looking. Roaring fury, he jumped at me to dunk me under and I shrieked and paddled backwards. Of course he gave chase and for the next few minutes our body parts were slickly sliding against each other as he tried to grab a hold of me and I tried to escape. He was grinning by the end of it, his hands had caressed more than my legs and arms, and I wasn't exactly complaining either.... he'd caught me up so that I was pressed against him with our faces mere inches apart.
Leaning in I gave him a kiss, that started to turn a little passionate until we realized that we were in the middle of a pool surrounded by many other people. Blushing, I made my excuses and also some plans to meet him later for dinner and a show. I had to check out other parts of the ship anyway. On my way to the stairwell I noticed that my heart sticker had come off. Oh well. I grabbed another one as I passed the booth anyway and put it back on the same spot.
