Starboard Home this trip.  I prefer the sunny side, and hope the sun shines bright.

Please write a trip report.  I’d love to hear about your voyage!

QM2 this Friday 10/17.. NY/Southampton anyone else planning to be on-board?
 

Massage was decent enough. HE was perfunctory.

Went a few times.  One thing I’d add is that he couldn’t be nicer.  Just a great guy.

Alex is in town this week. I performed some internet sleuthing outside this forum which gave me insight into his  background. We met yesterday. I approached the encounter with empathy for a 'broken boy'. Handsome, Super nice guy, he outlined his boundaries and limits in advance, and delivered what I consider an excellent trained massage .. He is human, and possibly sensitive, but it is unfair to judge him Broken. I would definitely repeat.

Anyone have experience with Lucas Marino? Handsome guy, Looks like he's traveling this way end of month.

First (and second) hand experience and I would highly recommend. He’s very attractive in person, so sweet, and while he doesn’t have formal massage training he is super intuitive and knows exactly what spots to hit. 

It wasn't worth it. He is just like Cory and strict on what he will do.

I think you answered your question already.
Ask a family member to do it! Let others know about it.  Write a will  IF there's something specific you want someone to have just give it to him/her in life.   
One more thing.... congratulations for a life well-lived! Creating wealth and passing it to others should always be part the plan, especially considering how lucky we are to live in this country and era! 

I booked the Full Experience Tantric, Naked Embodied Yoga Bodywork Session with certain expectations—based on the profile pics, I was anticipating someone rugged, hairy, and masculine. Instead, I got a new-age, granola, free-spirit vibe, which might be great for some, but wasn’t what I had in mind. Think less “lumberjack warrior” and more “chakra-aligning forest nymph.”
The session took place on a floor mat with pillows and was mostly stretching exercises, not really a massage. If you’re looking for deep tissue work, you might leave feeling more like you did a yoga class than a bodywork session.
Now, let’s talk hygiene—there was noticeable body odor and breath that wasn’t the freshest, which made it hard to get into the experience. And while he was very clear upfront about “no exchange of bodily fluids,” honestly, that was the last thing on my mind given the circumstances.
If you’re into earthy, ultra-spiritual, free-flowing energy with a side of body odor, this might be your vibe. If you were hoping for a more structured, masculine, or traditional tantric massage, this might not be the best fit. Personally, I would have preferred a clothed session with zero sensuality in this case. 
Wouldn’t recommend for those with expectations similar to mine—but hey, if you love kombucha, crystals, and the smell of the great outdoors… you might just have a magical time!

Make sure you book one of his 90 minute sessions - you get a nice shower scrub at the end!

Honestly, some of these comments make me wonder about some of you guys. I have gotten numerous massages from AndrewEric over the last five years and have never had a bad a experience.  Though I have not seen him in awhile--until I saw him today--I try to see him when his travels and my schedule match up. I have actually seen him in 3 different cities (once in his home). He is one of 5 guys that I will adjust my schedule to try to see when they travel through Houston.
I have always found him friendly and I find that his style (lomi lomi) works really well on me. So many of the sensual masseurs are basically rub-and-tug and don't give real massages (which can be fun sometimes). AndrewEric does actual quality masage but with the sensuality of full body contact. I find the shower a nice sort of cool down from the massage, with some hugging (which I really appreciate). And while some other guys endorse deeper touch (I have massaged some masseurs' prostates), I have never experienced him respond negatively to my touch.
The hate some of you guys are laying on him just makes me ask "How did you create such a negative interaction?"

I’ve been seeing Luisnyc for almost 5 years (gosh, maybe 6) and he is reserved, but he is also incredibly kind, caring, and sexy. When he says I’m beautiful, I melt. From start to finish, my time with him is always exquisite. He has always gone the extra mile with me. I’m not here to diminish other’s experiences, but only to offer my own which has been incredible on so many levels. 

I've tried in the past to get on Dimitri's schedule, he responds quickly, and is very accommodating.  Yesterday our schedules synced and I was able to get in for 90 minutes with just an hour notice. He greeted me with a big smile, and although traffic delayed my arrival by 10 minutes  worked on me for the full 90 minutes.  A handsome guy, looks just like his pictures and talents reflect his 10 years experience. I'm not a fan of bed massage, but he was traveling without a table and was able to make my neck comfortable using a pillow to prop up my chest.  As others  have suggested, the massage included some sensual elements YMMV. All in all, I left a Happy guy.  Will definitely repeat

The QA looks like it'll be beautiful.  Enjoy the voyage!
This QM2 drydock wasn't nearly as revolutionary as many drydocks tend to go.  This was mostly paint and carpet.  For a better idea of the particulars, Cruise Critic has a great thread on it.

Not that the ship needs some massive design shift, but Cunard handled this one with a very light touch.

Heading to NYC next month Has anyone been to QC NY SPA on Governor's Island?  Looks like a beautiful facility, mixed crowd,  maybe potential for discrete meet-up in steam or sauna?

Have fun in October.  I will board the QM2 this Friday, January 3rd for an 8 day crossing from NY to SOU.  Meeting 6 friends.  It looks like we will have some big swells!  Fun!
