Question - does anyone think not being in the LS will be an issue when on a cruise? We have been to Hedo on the nude side (and loved the week there) and definitely enjoy a nude beach so being in this setting isn't a problem but wonder if we'll be bored with a lack of other activities. I wouldn't think so, but it doesn't look like there are a lot of other activities besides the pool (love the pool), some of the workshops, and the disco. Thoughts?
Valid question as we had those thoughts as well before our first lifestyle cruise. After 12 lifestyle cruises, we can safely say that not being in the lifestyle will not present any kind of problems. The only problem would be if you didn't tell others interested in you early on that you are not in the lifestyle and they spend time thinking you are in hopes of getting with you. So be honest with your boundaries and convey them during the discussions. To most, it won't matter as many couples are friendly and will just chat with you.
As far as a smaller ship and activities, keep in mind that most days (if not all) are port days so a lot of daytime is spent off ship. The evenings go fast with dinner, theme nights, entertainment and just socializing on board.
We've had 3 cruises on the Azamara Lines and have 2 more booked. After doing the larger ships, Azamara hits the spot for us.
