Gay people are everywhere and they are on every cruise ship, not just
RCI. They are cruise directors, singers, dancers, band members, cabin
stewards, waiters, assistant waiters, cooks and officers. If you want
to avoid gay people, stay at home.


I agree. The O.P. Should realize that she and her husband will be exposed
to THEM no matter what cruise they take. HOwever, they don't realize it, but
they are exposed to THEM at home, too.

They are normal human beings, and they live everywhere. They raise families,
too and may bring their children on cruises. Maybe they don't want their
children exposed to the likes of some of the bigots who have responded.

Two comments. 1) What is the definition of a fill in cruise. What %, what
number of pax? 2) RCI, if they allow a cruise to be marketed to special
groups, ought to fess up to that.

For any of the Royal Caribbean future passengers who are thinking
about booking with any RCI ships, be careful. A good portion of their
'mainstream cruises" are gay cruises. For instance, I was looking at
May 27, Sovereign of the Seas Bahamas cruise and found it on the RCI
site. As some of you have read my previous posting a few days ago, I
was concerned about what kind of cruise I was buying into. RCI will
not disclose any details about their cruises, but I found that a huge
portion of their 2005 cruises are predominantly gay cruises. These are
not chartered cruises, they are the mainstream cruises.

This mainstream cruise on May 27, is advertised on the
www.oceanvoyager.com website as being "Gay Days in Orlando Cruise". I
called Royal Caribbean and booked the cruise to see if anything was
mentioned that this was a sold out cruise or a special cruise or
anything like that. It is just a regular mainstream cruise. I could
book it. I asked to speak to a supervisor in customer service. I
asked her if there was anything special about this cruise she said
"no". I told her that it was the "Gay Days in Orlando Cruise". She
said that she knew nothing about that. I told her that this was a
mainstream cruise and I was bringing a family on board. I would not
appreciate paying for 4 "Non refundable tickets" and get there and
find out that it is a gay cruise celebration. She said that there was
nothing that RCI could do about it. I understand that RCI can't do
anything about it, but I can make some people aware that if they are
squeemish about the gay cruise atmosphere or if they do not want their
kids in the gay atmosphere, you should beware (and even your travel
agent won't know about it) that many of the RCI cruises for next year
are predominantly gay cruises. They are listed as regular mainstream
cruises and you would have no idea, or no way of knowing that these
are gay cruises - even if you ask! Make sure you know before you go
so you won't encounter any surprises.

Don't worry, it isn't contagious. I
have been around many gay people and even have a number of good friends that
happen to be gay. So far I am still completely heterosexual and so is my
wife.

So far?

I hope that you are talking about "B" since we all know that Clint is
neither enlightened or educated and has NEVER made a useful contribution to
this newsgroup.

Then, given your parameters, RCI ought to 'fess up to any passenger of color
that the majority of passengers on their cruise are likely to be white.
