My phone buzzed a few minutes after I curled up on my sofa having just concluded a very messy, totally satisfying solo scat session in my tub. It was Francene.
"Hey, girl," she said, "I have a terrific proposition for you that I'm pretty sure you're going to like."
"Oh, Fran," I replied. "You should have called me an hour ago if you wanted to come over and scat with me -- I just got finished cleaning myself up and the tub after a solo session."
"No, that's not it," she responded, and then added, "You mean you flew solo knowing I'm just sitting here by myself and would have loved to join you? Are you mad at me about something?"
"No, Fran, I'm not mad at you. It was just a last minute impulse to get filthy, that's all. I should have called. Now I feel bad."
"Well, that's okay, don't go beating yourself up too much. It would have been fun, though. Maybe my proposition will seem even more appealing now."
"What's that?"
"How would you like to go on a scat cruise?"
"A what?" I had no idea what she was talking about.
"A scat cruise. Vincent wants Wayne and me to go and check one out, see if it's something he could add to his business pursuits. He would go himself but gets seasick really bad, so is having Wayne go instead."
"And you just begged him to let you go, too?" I chuckled. "You got a thing for scatting with Wayne?"
Sounding just a tad puffed up, she answered, "As Vincent's chief assistant he relies on my judgment in all things business related, so there was no begging on my part. And Wayne's not so bad, as you know. He can be a lot of fun getting messy with."
"And you want me to go with you?"
"Yeah, Rita. If you're not busy, we could have a great time."
Francene by this time had become one of my favorite scatting partners; any opportunity that allowed us to be together in that capacity was intriguing. "So, tell me a little about these cruises. I never heard of them."
"Most people haven't, not even scat lovers. They're not the kind of thing where you call your travel agent and say, 'I'd like to book a ticket on the next scat cruise out of Florida, please,' because they probably wouldn't know what you were talking about. It requires a bit of discretion, even detective work, to arrange passage on one."
"Sounds like they might be sleazy," I said. "You know, old leaky tugboats that even the rats have long abandoned, certain to sink before they leave the harbor."
"No, Rita, not at all. These are on fancy state-of-the-art cruise ships. A small section of the ship is totally cordoned off from the rest, completely private, with its own pool, sundecks, staterooms, restaurant, and lounges. Granted, none as big as the others on the ship, except for the staterooms, but they seem adequate enough to satisfy most passengers. That's one of the things Vincent wants us to find out."
"How many people?"
"Here's the good part, girl," intoned Francene. "Up to 75 can be accommodated, adults only of course! Can you imagine, baby? Seventy-five scat fiends all together on a cruise ship getting filthy to their heart's content! I've been told near the end of the cruise, which lasts six days, there's a big party on board, a giant scat orgy. That right there makes it all worthwhile, even if we get caught in a fucking hurricane!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's in the Caribbean, love, out of Miami."
I thought for a second and said, "Oh well, that's okay. I know how to swim. Yeah, Fran, count me in. I'd love to go!"
We flew to Miami the day before the cruise was set to depart. Francene and I spent a good part of the roughly three-hour flight discussing our favorite topic, this time the scat fun one could enjoy on a commercial airplane flight, things someone could possibly do scat-wise and avoid getting in trouble. Panty poops as the plane was landing ranked high on the list; we got ourselves so excited talking about defecating just as the wheels made touchdown, that sudden bump of rubber onto concrete coinciding perfectly with the initial release of shit into our panties and over our asses, that we almost climaxed right there in our seats! Luckily the flight attendant, a gorgeous Latina, was occupied elsewhere or she may have suspected something was up with us. But then we discussed her, too, and fantasized she loved panty poops as well and would be happy to join us in the fun. We would all share our panty loads later at the hotel. Without a doubt it was one of the pleasantest flights I've ever taken, and it seemed we were in Miami in no time.
We reported to where the ship was docked the next day and were directed to a special boarding area. We were taken through a privacy gate to our stateroom, which was typical of what you'd find on any cruise ship, only instead of a rug on the floor there was plastic sheathing from wall to wall; the mattresses on both beds were also protected with plastic, and the closet was stacked with extra linens. In other words, it had been prepared knowing that messy scat play would be occurring. The staff worker showing us around told us that there'd be a brief meet-and-greet on the deck next to the pool shortly after the ship sailed. Clothes were optional. I was happy to hear that because other than what I was wearing right then and a change of underwear for the flight home I didn't have any.
"Rita," Francene berated me when she found out. "What's wrong with you! Even I brought a cute little bikini and a minidress just in case."
"In case of what? It's a fucking scat cruise! Walking around naked all the time is half the fun." It turned out I was right. She had that dress on once for five minutes until someone said to her, "Why all covered up, Francene, is snow in the forecast?" and that was the last of that.
Wayne, who sometimes displayed an ego about the size of Mount Everest, thought about putting bathing trunks on "so as not to over-excite the ladies right from the git-go," but Francene and I made enough fun of him so that he changed his mind. ("There's lots of smelling salts on board if needed, I'm sure," Francene joked.) She and I, of course, stripped naked. A good crowd assembled near the pool, maybe 50-60 people; many looked to be couples and almost everyone was naked like us. A crew member gave a little welcoming speech, indicated that for some this wasn't their first cruise with them, and gave a special shout-out to two scat clubs consisting of about 10-12 people each.
