Fetish Dinner FAQ

What is the Fetish Dinner?
The Fetish Dinner is a ticketed, immersive dining experience offered aboard Kinky Cruise and select Bliss Cruises. For one night, one of the ship’s fine-dining specialty restaurants is transformed into a kink-themed experience combining great food, live performances, BDSM demonstrations, and optional guest participation.

What makes the dinner “fetish” themed?
Pretty much everything. The décor, entertainment and even the menu get a kinky makeover, with dishes featuring playful names like Stroke My Carbonara, Sadistic Short Ribs, Hard Limit Lobster, Pearl Necklace Pizzetta and more.

What happens during dinner?
While you enjoy dinner, kink and BDSM performers circulate throughout the restaurant presenting short demonstrations and mini-scenes. Some happen right at the tables, while others take place at interactive stations around the restaurant.

Depending on the sailing, experiences may include things such as impact play, flogging, paddles, sensation play, bondage, shibari rope and other BDSM toys and techniques.

Do guests get to participate?
Yes—if they want to. Guests may have opportunities to interact with performers, participate in mini-scenes, try certain toys or techniques, or visit interactive kink stations to learn and ask questions.

Participation is always optional. You can watch everything from your table, try just one thing that catches your interest, or participate as much as the available experiences allow.

Also don't hold back- come dressed in your favorite kink, fetish, or BDSM outfit!

Do I have to participate in the BDSM activities?
Absolutely not. You are welcome to simply enjoy the dinner, performances and atmosphere. The experience is designed so that guests can participate at whatever level feels comfortable to them.

Do I need BDSM or kink experience? Not at all. The Fetish Dinner is designed to be fun for experienced kinksters and curious beginners alike. If you have always wondered about a particular type of play, this can be a relaxed and approachable opportunity to watch, learn, ask questions and potentially experience something new.

Is the Fetish Dinner a full dinner or just an entertainment event?
It is a real specialty-restaurant dining experience. You’ll enjoy dinner while the kink-themed entertainment and interactive experiences happen throughout the evening.

Where is the Fetish Dinner held?
The event takes place in one of the ship’s specialty fine-dining restaurants like Chops Grill on Royal Caribbean ships. The exact restaurant and format may vary by ship and sailing.

Is the Fetish Dinner included with the cruise?
No. The Fetish Dinner is a separately ticketed event, and space is limited. Tickets and pricing may vary by sailing. The event is purchased either through the cruise app or at the ship's customer service desk, but usually sells out before or on day 1 of each crusie. 

Can I attend the Fetish Dinner without booking the cruise?
No. Because the Fetish Dinner takes place onboard during the cruise, you must first be booked as a guest on the applicable Kinky Cruise or Bliss Cruise before you can attend.

How do I book Kinky Cruise?
Information about Kinky Cruise is available at www.KinkyCruise.com. 

Kinky Cruise takes place as part of the April Bliss Cruise and includes additional kink-focused programming and experiences.

What other Bliss Cruises offer the Fetish Dinner?
Bliss Cruise typically sails three times each year, and the Fetish Dinner may be offered on applicable sailings. Information about upcoming Bliss Cruises and available cabins can be found at cruises.tomstrips.com. 

Is this like going to a dungeon?
Think of it as bringing some of the energy, education and playful experimentation of the dungeon into a fine-dining restaurant. Instead of spending the evening moving between dinner and the dungeon, the two experiences come together for one very unusual night.

Will performers interact with me at my table?
They may. Some mini-scenes and interactive demonstrations take place directly at guests’ tables, while others happen elsewhere around the restaurant. Participation or physical interaction is always based on consent.

Can I ask the performers questions?
Yes. One of the goals of the Fetish Dinner is to make kink approachable and interactive. Guests can watch demonstrations, talk with experienced performers and educators, and learn more about toys, techniques and different types of BDSM play.

What should I wear?

Dress for a great specialty dinner—with as much or as little kinky flair as you like. Depending on the sailing, additional dress guidance or a suggested theme may be provided to ticket holders. Anything goes but your "bits" must be covered since this is a restaurant! 

Is there nudity or sexual activity during the dinner?
The Fetish Dinner is an adult-oriented kink experience, and the exact performances vary from sailing to sailing. Guests should expect provocative entertainment and BDSM-themed demonstrations consistent with the atmosphere of a Bliss Cruise. Specific activities are subject to ship rules and the format of each event. However, no full nudiity or sexual conduct occurs during the event.

How long does the Fetish Dinner last?
Timing can vary by sailing, but it is designed as a complete dinner experience rather than a quick show. Specific reservation times and event information are provided to ticket holders. Most events last roughly 2 hours. 

Is seating limited?

Yes. The Fetish Dinner is held inside a specialty restaurant, so the number of seats is limited. It has become one of the most popular specialty experiences on the cruise, so advance reservations are strongly recommended when tickets become available.

Is the experience the same on every cruise?
No—and that is part of the fun. The restaurant, menu, performers, demonstrations, interactive stations and individual experiences may change from one sailing to another.

Who should attend?
Anyone who enjoys great food and has some curiosity about kink. You might be an experienced BDSM player, someone who has only visited a dungeon once or twice, or someone who has never touched a flogger in their life.

Come hungry. Come curious. Watch from your table, explore something new, or jump into the experience.

This is definitely no ordinary dinner reservation—and no ordinary cruise.
