Have you ever been on a gay cruise?

I'm old and married, not sure if we would fit in.

It's like the TV show OZ, but with buffets

You can meet and fuck Steve Grand

I've been on seven -- all Atlantis/RSVP -- and loved every one. The ships are huge -- 2,500 passengers, not counting the crew -- and there's something for everyone. If you want to stay up all night hooking up, you'll have plenty of company. Or you could spend most of your trip reading on your balcony and ordering room service.

Tell us more, R4.

What else is there to do on-board?

Is it easy to meet people, or is it like one big stuck-up gay bar?

Is everyone shirtless, ripped and hairless, or is there a variety of body types?

Do tell.

No one cares about the amenities. Let's talk about the hot cock gays get over the water.

I've been on a couple - there are all types and ages and body types. Everyone is on vacation, so pretty much everyone is friendly and open. Seriously.

However - two warnings. One, because it's a gay cruise, it's about 2x as expensive as a regular cruise - it's not cheap. Second, there is always a 'theme' for every afternoon tea dance and it becomes fucking exhausting with all of the outfits you're supposed to bring. I shit you not.

You have to pace yourself - you can party wayyyy too much and burn out early. European cruises may be different. I had fun - but I wish it wasn't a full week - too much of a good thing.

Because it's a gay cruise, the boats are always beautiful and well done - the upper level cruise lines. No Carnival, Norwegian or those types.

What are the best gay cruise lines?

Is the rimming fad popular on these cruises?

Thanks, R7.

When's the next one? I'm thinking about going.

We have been on four -- Caribbean, Alaska, Baltic, and Mediterranean (1 wk, 1 wk, 1 wk, 2 wks.) These observations are my own, based on my experiences. I am a good observer.

If you expect or hope for sex with hot guys on a cruise, you have to meet certain criteria: (a) be young, (b) be much better looking than average, and (c) have a ripped body. Otherwise, guys will look right through you at the other passengers who are a, b, and c. They do not settle for anything but each other. Guys who should know that those guys are way out of their league will not settle if you are not all three of a, b, and c. They would rather go to their cabins alone than settle.

I suggest that you go with a group of friends. Prices can be attractive if you get one cabin and share the cost among yourselves. Who cares if it is a shitty inside stateroom? You are not going to spend much time in it if you do a cruise right.

If you are a couple that is average looking ,over 30, and monogamous (like us) gay cruises are okay if you adjust expectations properly. Couples that cruise tend toward the "open" relationship kinds and/or bear/leather/fetish guys. Not our style.

Gay cruises are chartered ships. So they are more expensive than a regular booking directly with a cruise line. If the ports of call are what interest you, skip the gay chartered cruises.

Onboard entertainment ranges from extraordinary to bad drag at a dive bar in Sioux Falls. Entertainment is expensive, so the cost will reflect what you can expect. There are parties and theme events every day, most of the day. Daytime pool parties, evening comedy/hypnosis/magic/dating game shows in the various bars, evening show in theater, 11pm-dawn parties in the club. I did my first gay cruise in my early 30's when I could go without much sleep and stay drunk for a week at a time. Now, I find them tiring and repetitive. The same, tired acts seem to show up on every cruise -- the Australian drag stewardess comedian, the gay Asian pianist/comedian, the drag queen bingo host, the drag queen Tupperware host, Bruce Vilanch, and on and on. BTW, unless you are young, hot, and ripped, the charter company (Atlantis/RSVP) staff pretty much ignore you and sling attitude like it is a gay club on land, not something you paid thousands of dollars for.

Finally... Cruises that leave from Miami/FLL or LA draw the young, party crowds. That farther away the port of embarkation, the older the passengers. It costs more to fly into Copenhagen or Barcelona. Drugs are out of the question. You have to pass through Customs and multiple screenings before you ever set foot on the ship. And you cannot bring your own alcohol onboard. You have to buy drinks from the ship. But this is usually available before you board for around $80/day, prepaid.

Thank you so much, R11. That sounds like a complete nightmare.

I could pay a 10-15 dollar cover charge on land, for the exact same horrible experience.

I went on a European one years ago with trepidation, because I've never been much of a scene guy and a week on a floating bar sounded awful. I had a blast. There were all types of guys and went to the activities that sounded interesting and skipped the rest. People were overall friendly. I was early 30s at the time.

[R11] is mostly correct about the major acts: They haven't changed much in the past 10 years. But apparently that's not been a problem; many if not most of these Atlantis/RSVP cruises sell out.

Yes, there are many themed daytime and evening parties where people are encouraged to wear costumes. Other than for the inevitable White Party, I never did; I just didn't want to pack anything more than the essentials.

On all seven cruises, I was accompanied by my partner. We were in our mid- and late-50s, and met many, many interesting guys. But we weren't looking to hook up.

Nightmare

Unless you're relatively young and hot forget it. A very expensive ripoff. If you want to cruise and meet other gay guys pick a good cruise line and go to the Friends Of Dorothy cocktail hours. Cruises are always better with a small group of good friends and of course a partner.

Yes

All the Atlantis cruises have been outdoor bath house of sex! They are over priced sex orgies.

Oh yes, everyone on it was very happy. I think they put Prozac and lithium in the water.

Got the clap.

No need to brag, R20...

R20's a whore, darlin'.

Let's face it: Well-raised people don't take cruises, unless you're referring to a transatlantic voyage on the Queen Mary 2.

Cruises, even on the "better" lines, bespeak a prole upbringing. Even the richest tourist on a cruise is never more than a generation removed from his groundling upbringing.

Went on one, years ago.

Had a lovely, festive time those five glorious, sun-drenched days.

Quite thankful for their well-appointed sick-bays. I had two pregnancies the staff cheerfully aborted. Top notch!

Pretentious people pretending to be someone they are not.

Are you a bareback whore?

My idea of utter utter hell.

Low class white trash whores go on those Atlantis ship voyages.

Apart from anything else, it's a superb petrie dish for Norwalk flu.

Have never been on an all-gay chartered cruise -- not sure I would be interested in that -- but I have been on gay group cruises. There are travel agencies that will arrange a block of rooms on specific cruises for groups of gays. Sometimes the group is small (30 -50 or so), but on more popular sailings the group can be significantly larger (200 - 300+). The travel agency will generally host a few onboard social events for the group, but otherwise it's just a regular cruise. It's nice because on one hand, you know there will be a sizable number of gays on board, but on the other, it's definitely not the all-gay cruise experience. And fares are comparable to what you would pay if you booked directly with the cruise lines.

But overall, most cruise lines are extremely gay friendly these days. Most all schedule a daily social hour at one of the bars for the onboard gays, and go out of their way to make the gays feel welcome.

Was hilarious in Amsterdam last week as Grindr and Scruff overloaded with these stupid whores in shore for a pre-sailing fisting. Not a three-syllable word among them.

I thought cruises lasted for at least a month and you're telling me it's just [italic]five days[/italic] for all that money?!

As a chaste 7.5 I'd just suffer, watching dumb 10s hook up with each other all the time. Well, perhaps Bruce Vilanch could tell me a good joke or two that would melt my panties right off.

R30 That's hilarious but also kind of endearing. I'm glad we live in a society where people can get their rocks off so easily.

R29 has it right. I'm R11. We have done a few cruises during which the Friends of Dorothy meet up was scheduled every day in a lounge. We have meet lots of other gay couples, including some with young kids like us. Turns out our kids were together in the kids club, and had already become friends with each other by Day 2. Every cruise we have been on has had a Friends of Dorothy/LGBTQ daily meeting in the daily schedule of events. It is usually listed right next to the Friends of Bill W or Bible Circle.

I always wonder what the staff (cabin attendants, bartenders, waiters, etc.) must think about working a gay cruise. Many of them come from homophobic countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Eastern Europe.)

[quote]What are the best gay cruise lines?

There are no "gay cruise lines." Companies like Atlantis charter a ship from one of the regular cruise lines. Same as they do with other theme cruises like Country Music or Broadway or old-time radio.

I've gone on several nice regular cruises and have had all the cock I wanted. Turns out that there are a lot of married hot guys that are looking for fun.

Never been, but a friend has and I think one of them is more trashy/downscale than the other. Can't remember which is the nicer one (RSVP or Atlantis)

Most of the guys are 40's and 50's. A few bring younger escorts along (and they never seem to enjoy it).

R37

That's bleak.

Not a gay cruise, but I just learned you can sail on the Queen Mary 2 one way from NYC to England for less than $900/person for an outside balcony room!

Link, please R39.

I'd love to do that cruise.

R40. It's off season but still a great deal

Let's do a DL cruise on the Queen MARY !!!

Yes, let's!

"Australian drag stewardess comedian"

A little-known fact about Pam Ann is that she is an actual bio woman, with tits and a vagine and everything!

Must agree with R23. The sorts of people you meet on cruise ships are strictly non-U.

The QM2, now we're talking. Having a group of DLers sounds like fun, perhaps.

Sign me up for the QM2 trip!

R33 - the staff of these ships actually love the gay cruises. The staff get to let loose, it's something different than every other cruise, and it's a non-stop party. Plus gays tip very well.

So, those who don't like are very rare and others will gladly take their place.

Some of the above posters seem to be obsessed about hooking up on these ships - I would say if that is your point, then why go? Just go on Grindr. Many people have a great time and they sell out time and time again.

Never been on a gay cruise but have been on three Pied Piper Cruises which were on Celebrity ships and ranged from 45 people when we cruised Australia to 150 for Central America to 900 for the post thanksgiving cruise. For us, it worked out well and we would do another Pied Piper cruise if we liked the itinerary.

R47 is correct. On one Atlantis cruise in the Mediterranean, I asked a crew member how gay cruises differed from regular ones. She mentioned the great t-dances and entertainers, how much more energy we had (on cruises with lots of much older passengers, the bars and other public areas clear out by 9 p.m.).

And then the LOL compliment: "And you're all so polite!"

The staff love them. Good tips. They're invited to the party. No children.

I went on a lot of the early Atlantis cruises in the late 90s and early 00s when I was in my 30s and early 40s and had a great time. The boats were smaller so you actually got to know people and would meet up with friends. I actually liked the early Atlantis land trips even better. The resort in Manzanillo that they used for years was a little slice of heaven. Now, in my 50s, I'm not so sure I would like them. They've become too large, too expensive and too full of stuck up queens.

I went on one. Got drunk. Got crabs. Got robbed.

They have become an over priced circuit parties that do not end.

R52 ↑↑↑ This. Exactly.

r51, I was on that cruise

I was raped, robbed and written a bad check!

I was on an RSVP cruise when I was coming out. It good old trashy fun and sex. Happy I went once for the experience, but would rather go to a foreign destination than spend all that money on a sex cruise again.

Your chances of getting laid on the QM2 are better than a gay cruise if your not a 10, and older.

They aim to please!

The dead mobster claimed he's not.

Only difference from QE2 is that lots of sex late nights on the outdoor decks on gay cruises. One has to be careful not to slip from all the cum on deck!

Gross

R39, that's a CROSSING, not a cruise, unless it's stopping in Bermuda or the Canaries, which I doubt, at that price.

I checked out R39's link.

It's a scam. They tell you it's 799 or 899, but by the time you select a room, the price is up to 1900.

60 must be Charlotte Vail's mother!

Never have been, but mostly because the three or four guys I've known who go on cruises are damaged in some way - either never had a bf or can't keep one. Not bad guys, just challenged. Makes me think cruises must be full of all the wrong kind of people.

I'm leaving on a regular (i.e., non-gay) cruise on Sunday from NY. How worried should I be about Jose? (The cruise is headed north.)

Is Jose sharing the room on tHe cruise with you?

did a qm2 crossing in oct. and one in jan. great prices, 5 star hotel luxury at holiday inn prices, and arrive in europe without jetlag. great deals if you have 6 days to cross the atlantic

There truly are so many scenes and activities on each cruise that you can find your place. It's best to go with a friend of two so you can have fun no matter what.

I've been on two cruises and had a blast. 7 days is enough to be in a place where everyone is gay. After that, you just want to go home.

Thanks for the link on queen mary. So cheap! And excatly the cruise that i want - lixury room with view of the sea. Fuck the rest. I'm gonna eat at off hours and not talk to anyone.

on QM2, if you are in the Queens or Princess suites you may dine at any time the respective restaurants are serving. you may also eat in your room. you can book a table just for yourself or you can share with small or large groups (but if you book a group table you are stuck with them for the voyage.) If you are in "Britainnia" class you must select either an "early" or a "late" seating.

You also have the option of eating most any time in the "food court" basically the buffets in the bowels of the ship where quantity supersedes quality and the obese riffraff in flip flops and tanktops stuff their faces continuously.

There are obese riffraffs at qm2? 😱

yes, i was quite surprised

if you book the "grille" suites, they can be mostly avoided

Now i want a D L elder gay queen mary 2 cruise. No hookups!

I'm saving up for the TCM cruise.

It won't be the same without Robert Osborne, R74.

But I'll have Ben's feet and Ann Miller montages.

Do many golden age queens sail on the QE2?

I'd like to marry a rich one.

No never been. But thanks for the idea. My girlfriends were looking for the perfect bachelorette party and now I think we found it.

See you gays on the lido deck!

R78 I'm surprised they aren't having bachelorette parties on gay cruises.

I didn't hate Sex and the City at the time, but I feel like that was the floodgates of having to be faaaaabulous with the gays. Yawn.

I thought they discontinued the TCM cruises.

In a similar vein--has anyone done one of the Playbill Broadway cruises? They're doing a river cruise for the first time. (On the Danube.)

Someone earlier mentioned Pied Piper Cruises. I've taken several. For a forty and over crowd. Opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. But these are more for people who are more into the destinations than the cruise itself.

"Now i want a D L elder gay queen mary 2 cruise."

No, dear, we would much rather you didn't

Do many celebrities perform on gay ships?

yes c list

[quote] 7 days is enough to be in a place where everyone is gay. After that, you just want to go home.

Just like Datalounge!

I cannot even BEGIN to imagine all the germs and filth!

Starting with your nasty TWAT, Didi at R86!

Celebrities on Gay cruises are old drag queens & singing sluts

Do they have any gay cruises without drag queens?

I went on a gay cruise and met many May-December couples. One 22 year old was married to a 79 year old. Of course the 79 year old had money.

The smoke stacks emit the smell of freshly baked cookies 24/7.

St8 cock is pretty scarce on those cruises unless you manage to nab a Jr. Officer.

[quote] and there's something for everyone.

Not if your idea is exploring the world's great cities such as Paris, Istanbul, Tokyo, Bangkok, or Madrid.

To me, being stuck on a giant ship along with a bunch of loud, boorish Americans sounds like unmitigated hell. My partner and I much prefer taking walking tours of foreign cities, or just poking around on our own, eating and drinking in local establishments and meeting local people. Our idea of heaven is to get completely lost in a foreign city and serendipitously find a fascinating shop or memorable bar.

Having everything planned out for you, in English, takes the spontaneity out of travel for me. Many of our friends (we're middle-aged) spend every vacation taking a cruise and wax rapturously about how wonderful it is. We smile politely, promising to join them some day but knowing we never will.

You and your partner sound exhausting R92. Do you dress up like Trudeau visiting India? I’m sure your friends are grateful you won’t be joining them on a cruise.

Dream Boat--Gay cruise documentary

R94 most depressing, soul destroying documentary I've seen in a long time

Typical gay cruise sounds like one of those Hedonism cruises/vacation.

[quote] I was raped, robbed and written a bad check!

I didn't know rent boys took checks. I thought it was all cash.

I would definitely never go on any cruise - gay or otherwise

Why is that, R98? A cruise is probably the cheapest vacation that one can take. Accommodations, all that you can eat, and sights.

A ay cruise vacationer = the very definition of a basic gay bitch.

I will not go on a gay cruise. I do not like to stay up nights, drinking, dancing, or wearing costumes.

Aren’t gay cruises basically syphillis and gonorhea vortexes on water?

I sent this thread along with another one about a gay cruise ship sinking to friends of mine. We've laughed so hard that we all finally agreed to go on an Atlantis cruise next summer in 2019. Some of us have been and for others it will be a new experience but we'll have fun. These threads brought back so many memories for me.

R102, Don't leave me out!

This is what gay life is ALL about.

Do you have to pay extra for the Giardia you'll get from the hot tubs?

Gay cruises are great. Despite the advertising with muscular guys, all type of gays go and have a great time.

It's best if you go with a friend or partner. You can spend quiet nights eating and lounging or you can spend crazy nights dancing and sleeping around.

What makes it great is the general feel of relaxation that you don't have to be on guard because you're gay. Plus, everyone is some friendly to one another.

Hot tubs= egg drop soup.

NO. Who wants to be around that many homosexuals at one time?

Imagine a Norovirus outbreak on a gay cruise.

but, you always have the separatists...

Oh, now imagine a Norovirus outbreak on a gay BEAR cruise.

Op what a silly question. Most Dataloungers are old money WASP who own their own private yachts, (at least in their imagined reality).

Well, I declare...

Those guys will take you down if you get in their way at the buffet.

[quote]I was raped, robbed and written a bad check!

I was raped, robbed, and fucked a bad Czech!

This is what it's really like being a passenger on a gay cruise

25 January 2018

Can you imagine being the person who has to clean the hair out of the pool drains on bear cruise?

115) LOL

I was in Provincetown one year that I unknowingly ended up staying in town during Bear week. I don't mind slim and hairy. I'm not into obese guys. Bears are usually not hairy based on my observations in Ptwn. The're generally overweight to morbidly obese. Few of them are actually hairy, unless having a beard makes you hairy.

Love gay cruises! Lots of party drugs and 24/7 sex.

Are these the sort of cruise where there are always people trying to sell you things?

I don't like to be pitched when I am trying to eat or have fun.

No, R122. I've never heard of such a thing.

They are all sex orgies cruises!

I’m with R92. I just can not understand the cruise idea. It’s like going to Disneyworld - I know some people like it, but I don’t understand it at all. Those two are my nightmare trips.

It's like being in A tacky bar nd you can never leave.

It's probably the cheapest vacation that you can ever take. Accommodations, entertainment, and all the food you can eat (refer to R114) is all under one roof and price! Plus, you get a number of ports of call. That might be somewhat limiting but you're getting a nice flavor of different locations. And, the way that cruises are designed now, you can miss the boat and meet it at the next location if you want.

I'm seriously considering doing a 4 month around the world cruise. A one in a lifetime trip.

....

I read that as “have you ever been on a gay crusade” and I flashed on homosexuals screaming DEUS VOLT wearing chainmail and caftans as they rode to Jerusalem to sample the fine dining there.

A gay cruise looks like a living nightmare in that documentary.

"Drag Stars At Sea" Cruise

[quote]No, [R122]. I've never heard of such a thing.

Seriously? Unless you are on a very, very high-end cruise, you are constantly bombarded with offers to buy art, jewelry, watches, and lots of on-board stuff like spa treatments, restaurants (the ones that charge extra), bingo cards, photos, videos, souvenirs, drinks, etc.

Ah, R132... Carnival Cruise Line... (just a joke)

The trips that I have been on that did that tended to only slip flyers under the door. That could be an annoyance but I pay those things no mind. The only things that I might buy extra (but I know about it before time) is maybe some gym training sessions, possibly a spa treatment, and maybe a drink special. That's it. Tours and other stuff I just tune out. OH! I do buy an internet package.

Once was enough for me... I was bored out of my mind! Drunken old queens, stuck up drugged up young men behaving obnoxiously, as usual. I won't do it again. I know myself too well. Uppity elitist sissies all about cock chasing and turning up their noses at each other. Basically a gayborhood at sea...boring drag queens and tiresome, second rate piano players. On a normal cruise you can at least find someone who is interested in talking about things and ideas and not people. Never again.

Alaska Daddy Cruise

Available 02 Sep, 2018 - 09 Sep, 2018

With a Daddy Cruise you get to travel with a bunch of friends.

We gather an active, energetic group of 30-to-100+ people: all ages and races, including Daddys, boys, and others. Your on-board host insures you get to meet and mingle with the group.

You get to know people even before the ship leaves.

There's a private Facebook page so you can meet others in advance. We'll also gather for pre-cruise virtual events, where you'll discover more about the excursions you may take, get your questions answered, and start interacting with your new friends.

You get to make a difference.

Each cruise includes an optional day of service to a local group in need, such as participating in a food drive for a local LGBTQ center. You can have a transformative experience—as well as an enjoyable vacation!

Emerald Princess—Seattle round trip to Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and Victoria (Canada)

Come join our intimate and super–friendly group of Daddys, admirers and friends aboard the Emerald Princess on our voyage to Alaska. At the top of almost everyone's bucket list, Alaska is beyond anything you've experienced–vast, wild, colorful, dazzling, beautiful, exciting…the list is nearly endless. We'll take advantage of the Labor Day holiday weekend to make it a full week of fun and celebration (with one less day to take off work)!

Exclusive extras for our group only:

Welcome Aboard Cocktail Hour (with free cocktails!)—come meet your fellow Daddys and friends in a warm, welcoming, and casual atmosphere. Play our fun mingling/get-to-know-you activity, and start forging friendships that will last a lifetime.

Onboard Host/Cruise Director—As always, I'm your onboard host. I'm there to make sure you have a great vacation. My colleagues and I will resolve any issues that may arise, answer questions, and help you enjoy your cruise to the utmost. We'll coordinate and host activities and parties each day—all of which are optional (it's your vacation; pick and choose what you want to be a part of).

Free Welcome Aboard gift for each guest

Exclusive excursions just for our group

Special Daddy group activities on board (card games, trivia contests, happy hours, parties, etc.)

Price: 900.00

Varies by cabin class.

Wow! I had no idea.

R135, who in the hell would want to travel with a bunch of old men? Except OTHER old men.

I'd never heard of the Daddy Cruise thing before, and I'm intrigued. I think I'd like it a lot better than one of those "floating bathhouse" cruises. I'm going to look into them. It looks like they have river cruises and land tours as well.

I don't know, R137. Some people have no desire of trying to hook up but are more interested in the destinations and just meeting a nice group of people to talk with. Some men, (even indicated here), have no desire to be on a floating discotheque and/or bath house, etc. Other men just want to feel comfortable taking off their shirts or wearing a bathing suit to have some fun swimming without feeling as if they are being judged.

Okay, it has to be asked... why aren't you guys going on cruises sponsored by Playbill? Wouldn't a show with the real Patti (not an imitation Patti at the drag ball) be preferable? Michael Feinstein tickling the ivories?

[quote]Okay, it has to be asked... why aren't you guys going on cruises sponsored by Playbill?

I've never heard of them before. I also have never heard of Pied Piper or Daddy Cruises either. Maybe these organizations need to market more to gay people via FaceBook, gay sites, etc? Unlike R137, I've found this thread to be quite helpful.

Syphillis on the Sea!

Here's another one that I've never heard of:

Brand G

Founded in 2011 as “the next generation in gay travel,” Brand g is owned and operated by Jeff Gundvaldson, former President of RSVP Vacations, and Brian Van Wey, former Director of Marketing for RSVP.

We recognized that LGBT travelers were looking for new and more exotic types of travel opportunities. Since river cruising was quickly becoming the hottest segment in travel, it only seemed natural to offer deluxe river cruise tours all over the world – a style of travel we personally love.

Best Alaska cruise for gay couple?

I suppose you're looking for a recommendation, R144. I've never been on an Alaska cruise but RSVP cruises are pretty good. Their cruises tend to skew older, more professional people, and diverse as far as body types.

r140 Would you want to be cooped up in a ship for a week with Seth Rudetsky?

I realize that it would be inappropriate for a woman to go on a gay cruise, and I have no desire to do so, but would there be anything wrong with taking one the non-group vacations listed on the site? There is a Bora Bora deal which includes airfare that seems pretty sweet.

Do you think I would be wrong to do this?

Not at all, r147! I'm sure everyone would be totally welcoming and that this would be a great way to see and explore Bora Bora!

R147, there are women on gay cruises. VERY FEW... very, very, few but they are there and it's my understanding that they have a great time. I have a friend and she went alone to someplace exotic like Bhutan. It was a gay tour group and she met a gay couple who are now her very good friends.

I caught human papilloma virus on an Equinox cruise

I'm curious as to how the gay groups who are part of a regular, mainstream cruise (i.e., not one of those gay-only cruises where a company charters the entire ship) work. Do they travel in packs and do the other passengers say "oh, there go the gay boys again?"

The are all sex and drug orgies! Enjoy!

R151 --

Yes.

My idea of a nightmare *shudder* but that said I'd probably enjoy myself if I found myself on one.

Come join the fun!

This morning, a tour boat in the Bahamas blew up and killed people.

I wonder how many on the boat were from cruise ships...

[quote]I wonder how many on the boat were from cruise ships...

None.

Rich people. Probably Repiblicans

A USA woman was killed

The Exumas, a swanky collection of cays popular with wealthy tourists, made headlines last year as the site of the sham luxury Fyre Festival.

R151 Funny you should ask. The Oslo (Norway) to Kiel (Germany) ship is branded as a "family ship", yet the gays usually take the trip to hook up. Lots of gay sex on those two ships. It's not really a cruise though, but close.

Couldn't pay me. COULDN'T PAY ME.

The guys at R155 are probably all bareback porn stars.

This is a pretty good example of a regular cruise. It was billed as a "Pride" cruise but there doesn't seem to be a lot of gay people on board and the passengers are diverse.

[quote]The guys at [R155] are probably all bareback porn stars.

Come join the fun!

If it were a week on a gay cruise or death, I'd hesitate.

Why do PJ and Thomas have little, circular bandaids behind the ears?

Seasickness med patch.

Dramamine

Transderm partch NOT Dramamine.

patch NOT partch

Yup

Guardian and Hanta virus

Psst, r160, send me the link. Hook a brutha up!

Love Pied Piper and their tours. Priced comparable to the cruise lines (mostly CELEBRITY) on which they travel. On board, we enjoy meeting the regular cruisers as well as the Pied Pipers, and have made many lifelong friends from all over the world. We have two Pied Piper cruises booked for early 2019. FYI, we are a monogamous, retired, married gay couple (25 years) and do a lot of traveling.

I fucking hate hiking and biking. Well I still like an Alaska cruise
