Dear Alexandria:

Did you talk about this with your boyfriend? The two of you can talk about different group scenarios likely to happen in the cruise and decide now how the two of you  will interact in those group scenarios in the future: what he will say, what you  will say, what the two of you will do if this or that takes place.

The two of you can prepare now so that during the cruise you act like a team, he is there for you and you are there for him. As a team, if the two of you are left  out of the bigger group, then the two of you, as a team, as a group of two, can leave the bigger group and go someplace else, do something different, have your own fun.
