West93 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 RIP to them. Maybe once they're closed all the cute twinks would go to Keybox. Hahaha. Like how back then Absolute closed and everyone went to Cruise. Memories.
Guest death by arrogance Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 But haven't plenty of us predicted this years back: the threatening closure. (see below posts just from 1 1/2 years ago)... Cruise died on the stubbornness of it's owners / managers to reinvent the business model and on the ignorance of market signs. Upscale prizing with declining facilities, freebies leading to an entitlement culture and just spectators standing around not doing anything (because it was free). Cruise was a sort of coming out charity to cater for young gays to explore gay sexual activities for free. It was a failed business model as it did not look at the long term profits or the long term requirements to run a place as Cruise on profit. Cruise should have started removing the free entries, just have some benefits on reduced entrance for young guys below 27 at certain timings or maybe free entry at some certain fewer timings and I m sure it would have had chances to survive. I m sure the younger guys had still visited the place. An online survey of their customer base would have told them where the problems are, as I said stubbornness of the owners...and a sort of arrogance on them ignoring who the real king is (The customer). I m sure with a revamp on pricing and being more "Captain/ Commander" friendly, guys would have frequented Cruise more often.. Now, they don't want to take the risk in renewing lease and renovating the place. Too late is too late. I m quite sure the owners paid from their own pockets on certain months to cover the rental and expenses. Let's remember the good times we shared in the past at Cruise... And there is some good news for the future: We will see more eye candy in the other sauna places after 28 October...

Square Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Saunas come and go. It's already remarkable they lasted 8 odd years. So personally, i am grateful that they existed at a time that provided much fun. It's hard to sustain a sauna business for the A+ crowd these days. The A+ crowd hardly goes to saunas, as they have their own parties which are keeping them pretty busy. The only ones that go saunas are probably the B crowd and the older gen, which is more viable business-wise. Well, enjoy the saunas, while they last. C'est la vie Marcoknw and jackie 2

Anyway, they reaped from new coupons sales last month and now sudden close.

Guest BabyBoomer Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 51 minutes ago, Guest jac said: A retiree has to subsidize for a working adult ? .= a lure to yandao to sex for free with paid clients First of all, few of the young are yandao. Those not yandao yet self entitled are the most obnoxious, just a glance at them and they think you want to molest them. They roll eyes at you just to show they are superior even though you are totally not interested in them. The retirees pay to get this type of discrimination? Only the hard core pitiful ones maybe. The rest are the baby boomers who are internet savvy, their interests are broader, they are the young of yesteryear Towel Club, not your pitiful 老色狼。 They are a big group and many businesses woo them. A big group automatically becomes trend setters like hunkle, dad bod etc.

sum1outhere_03 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) from the site Bye bye CC. I've met quite a number of dudes for ONS when it was just opened. Until the recent years, there were more people folding arms and wait for their star to fall. Plus the place was more overrated compared to other clubs, hence gave up this place for hookups altogether. I hope those who fold arms and waited for their mr right dun end up in KB. Else poor KB will have to take up the culture from this old club. Edited October 22, 2019 by sum1outhere_03 Will you be my valentine's?

Guest Kiasu Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I pay to get in. But doesn't mean I wanna get it on with anyone and make the most out of my entrance fee. I'd rather hang around and look for a match, then to just fuck anything that moves. It's a typical kiasu mentality, like paying for a buffet and just grabbing anything just to make the most of yr cost. 53 minutes ago, LeanMature said: The reason why they fold arms and stand like Stanford Raffles is because they enter free and has nothing to lose except their time.

Very likely KB will be the next one to close down too. Although KB boost that they always run out of lockers n long Q, etc but most of them are free entries. Maybe it's time that KB should pick up the lesson from Absolute n Cruise. This will be their conclusion having "charities" all the while with all the free entries. Think, KB ... n goodbye Cruise.

I can receive 250 msgs on gay apps within 3 hours in South East Asia. I m a 35y Tom Hardy looks guy without beard. I never had felt so discriminated as with Cruise in Singapore. After my 5th visit I never went again as the entrance staff pissed me off with their incredible rudeness.
CumdrinkNgo Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Finally this day has arrived, with past years of feedback and field reports, many like the owner, staff and avid supporter choose not to see this coming. Dirty facilities, rude staff, diminishing paid patrons, arrogant statues and failure to improve on feedbacks. This lesson ought to be lesson for all spa owners be it Shogun, TMC or Keybox, feedbacks ought to be recognised and taken seriously. It was the paid patrons, who contributes to Cruise Club failure, as they choose to ignore patrons feedback. Not to be complacent on FREE PROMOTION ENTRY, that lead the disasters RIP of Cruise Club. Many patrons , especially those contribute to CC revenues and subsidised FREE VISITS to others, have paid for their price to visit this museum despite website stating its No. 1 spa in Singapore, best muscles guys in asia etc cheating all that was in good perspective with online deceptions that all is well...all comes to nothing....with a great RIP on Deepavali, RIP....ONWERS NOTHING TO LOSE AND GOING ON LONG HOLIDAYS with profits and revenue earned. Total Winners are the freebie statutes, hunting for free admission elsewhere Edited October 23, 2019 by CumdrinkNgo

Square Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 True dat. All saunas will close down one day. So I don't see the need why some members postulate the sauna's demise as there could be many reasons for its demise. I don't see any benefit in any sauna closing down, it just means one less place for ordinary dudes like me to go to. Oh well, haters gonna hate. 13 minutes ago, lonelyglobe said: The problem is the B crowd want to act like they are A crowd.... Yes sauna come and go just like FB...

Like at the time the Towel Club, the first Keybox, perhaps Raw, Queen Resort. Saunas who rent, can never be sure of surviving. When the sauna owner also owns its land, they can exist forever, like Babylon in BKK. 8 hours ago, boyyy92 said: Oh wow it’s closing. Wonder if I should go one last time...
