Are joint bachelor/bachelorette parties a thing now?

Co-worker told me he is reluctantly attending a joint bachelor/bachelorette party for a wedding he is in. To make it even worse, its a cruise. As if that isn't bad enough, co-worker's GF is a bridesmaid so she will be there also. The cost is like $1200/per person. I can think of nothing that could be worse than this entire situation. My thoughts are someone cheated. I assume they already have a joint FB page. I told him to bail on this disaster. Is this a thing now?

This particular set up sounds miserable.

not going to lie

if one of my friends tried to guilt me into spending $1200 to go on a cruise for this, i'd probably protest out of principle (with a heavy, HEAVY dose of spite)

I don’t see any issue with the coworker going on a cruise with his friends and smashing his GF all week

Well GF can be smashed at home for free. My thoughts are, like a prior poster stated, what is the point of this? They will inevitably get in a fight at some point and everyone will just be miserable on a fricking boat, having spent alot of money to get there. I would choke my buddy if he proposed something like this.

Maybe I have a better group of friends then the OP, but group vacations are a blast. Who cares if it's a Bach/baclorette party. Just go and have a good time.

They could give it to me for free and I’m
not going in a cruise. It’s a trashy vacation and I’m not up for getting tuberculosis.

No it's not a thing for normal people, only those marrying an insecure bride

Women naturally get insecure because of the whole strippers aspect of bachelor parties. A lot of women now days play the joint card to basically cost the husband their bachelor party. Setting the marriage up for failure if you ask me.

But this cruise shite, that's next level. frick that. You just need to tell your co-worker to get ready. If he decides to marry the girl he's dating then she's going to try and get him in the joint party also. He should deuce out on that shite out of principle.

My friend back in Louisiana i think was about to do the same thing! A joint bachelor/bachelorette party. Mostly because she wanted it. He just went along with it. I tried to tell him way before the decision of the joint thing that he should have his own so his girls not looking over his shoulder and they're not doing joint this and that. But he caved in a said its up to her....wtf. Welp, gota support my boy so

Yeah I guess I am the type that can have fun wherever. Just go to dinner together with the group on the boat then split off and do your thing the rest of the time if the group sucks.
