1. Lacy,
    They pick random fans names from a database of cruisers.
    Whomever they know is on the boat is in the draw to be part of those events. That way it's fair for everyone, even though those are some very lucky fans.
    Sometimes the boys or their staff will pick people out of the crowd but it's rare.

    100% recommend doing a cruise at least once in your life. It was by far my most favourite BSB experience of all time!

    I hope that helps :)

  2. For a non cruiser (hope that changes on the next US cruise) - I am just curious about something. I've seen the YouTube videos of the beach volleyball, karaoke, and all the other times the boys are interacting with some fans. How do fans get chosen for those experiences?

  3. I can't wait until I can go on my first cruise. I hear they a re spectacular! If you go this year, letn me know how it went!

  4. i can´t wait... í´m ready.. my first cruise ever

  5. This all sounds amazing. Hopefully I'll get to go someday :)

  6. This was great to read. I wish that I had to money to go but at least I get to see videos from the fans that get to be on the cruise along with all the many pictures too. :)

  7. Aww thanks Alyssa. Writing it gets me excited for the cruise too! :)

  8. This won't be my first BSB cruise, but remembering all the awesome experiences by reading this makes me so excited to go to Europe! Ahh!!

  9. As always, a great read from Laura D!
