A couple who have embraced an open marriage lifestyle have revealed what it is like on board the world's largest spicy cruise where 6,700 swingers get to know each other rather well.
Bella and Jase are a pair of content creators from the USA and love nothing more than embracing the swinging lifestyle. Sharing content across TikTok and their 4ourplay.com website, they have attracted thousands of followers who are interested in knowing more about what life is like in an open marriage.
For the couple, it is about 'breaking down the stigma' that some associate with what they describe as 'ethical swinging'.

As part of their lifestyle as a happily married couple, Bella and Jase go on all sorts of holidays that are welcoming, or designed, for swingers.
From all inclusive swingers hotels and resorts to the spicy cruises, they opt to spend their downtime getting down with those outside of their marriage.
One recent trip saw them board Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, which had been taken over by private cruise company Bliss Cruise so as to run its adults-only trip focused on polygamy.
"There was about 6,700 swingers on this cruise which was absolutely crazy," Jase said in one video.
So what was it like? Well, as with any cruising holiday, there is an element of enjoying the services on board - especially on a ship such as Symphony which is among the newest and largest in the world.
From exploring the hot tubs and pool area to having a drink in the bar, there was plenty of downtime to relax and get in to the mood while casually mixing with others.
On top of that, Bella and Jase love exploring the food that is available in the restaurants.
They also connected with couples who booked a spot on the cruise through their website, with the couple travel agents. As a result, they met up with these couples to share goodie bags full of swingers related items such as upside down pineapple stickers and hats before going for a group dinner to get to know everybody. After all, on these cruises there is a certain topic that is on many people's minds.
Obviously, the spice then plays a significant part in the including the very infamous play rooms, with there being three on the Bliss Cruise trip including an outdoor one.
On one night, Jase said they ended up having a 'very spicy time with some old friends as well as some new friends'.
"We just had a little group party there," he added.
Another day included an excursion to a private Royal Caribbean island, which had a 'spicy beach' due to no other ship being docked there at the time. Yep, clothing was optional, with Jase saying 'Bella fully partook in the 'clothing optional' approach'.
For another evening, there was an '80s glow party' with thousands of people taking part in the 'lifestyle party'. And one further night saw the couple invited to a 'large group party with around 16 people'; something they've never taken part in before.
"It ended up being an amazing time," Jase said despite only knowing around half the people there.
As for showing the spice and other people on the cruise, his stance is simple.
"This community is so stigmatised we would never want to 'out' somebody because of possible negative ramifications from people knowing people are swingers, which is just so sad," Jase said.
"So we can't really show all of the details, that's why we just show us. But you can use your imagination."
