Cruise ships are increasingly catering to holidaymakers' particular interests - whether it's art and culture or a particular hobby. And sexual attraction is no exception as what is thought to be the world's first 'Cougar Cruise' has proven a sell-out in the U.S. Aimed at older women who prefer to date younger men, the fully-booked International Cougar Cruise set sail from San Diego in California on December 4.

If so the cruise better have a 24 hour open bar or she's got no chance...

Now I’m gonna have “Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart in my head all darn day!

I just read this:

"The guest of honor on the Cougar Cruise will be Miss Cougar America, who will be selected at the National Single Cougars Convention, Friday, August 28 at Dinah’s Garden Hotel, in Palo Alto CA. Cubs (younger men) in attendance will decide who wins the contest."

Good lord, that's awesome. I'll find a pic of her.

Actually that is a great Pic.

You have your Patron Saint of Cougars, I have mine...

we single guys are all professionals.. if a 30 to 40 year old guy can’t get laid on that cruise he might as well give it up

Most excellent!

of course, to be cougar bait, a 30 to 40 yr old guy would have to be hunted by a 50 to 60 yr old cougar. Not that there aren’t some great ones in that category, mind you...

I knew a guy in his 80’s who took up cruising. He said that all he had to do was wear his light blue dinner jacket and sit on the second row of a show and he would get covered up with invites for drinks or dinner.

He loved to tell about taking an old girl on a cruise only to find out that a former cruise mate was on board. He lived the life of a saint while married but as a widower he learned that he could stray off the straight and narrow just by being him and showing up

Of course, to carry the analogy out further, where does that leave the 55-year old guys?

[Dixie Yooper]

I would still love to see her in uniform!

[Hegewisch Dupa]

they have to cross their fingers and hope Sophia Loren shows up

[Hegewisch Dupa]

As they said in Hee-Haw: “Sah- LUTE!!!”

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Instead of the bars old ladies go to pick up younger men
called Menopause Manors, the ship could be called Menopause
Floaters!

My wife and I have given each other humorous "adultery exceptions" over our seventeen happy years of marriage. Mine is the luscious Nigella Lawson, who is not only beautiful and sexy, but has an Oxford degree (Medieval and Modern Languages, Lady Margaret Hall).

My wife's "free pass" is Alan Rickman. Yes, the bad guy from the Die Hard movies. Go figure!
