Just had a call from a crew member of the MAASDAM.During our conversation,I asked him about the February cruise that was completely booked by gays and lesbians.He was very surprised that I knew about it and I explained that it was common knowledge on our Internet forum.His comment about this particular cruise was...."Terri,it was a nightmare cruise and I was so glad when it was over.I heard that they will be taking over one of the Carnival ships next time!!"
Folks,I won't go into what he said about the formal nights....you can use your own imagination

The second was a group of 200 gay men. Just to put the trip in perspective I brought my (then) 7 year old son and 10 year old daughter along.
The only problem I heard about was on the first night some passengers objected to men dancing toghether in one of the night clubs. (They may have also displayed some affection.) Then next night the deck near one of the pools was set up as a night club for their use.
I heard of and saw no other problems.
Now - if the entire ship was chartered it may have gotten a bit more frisky. But like hotel staff, cruise ship staff get exposed to some things that most of us choose to ignore.
It goes with the job.
I sure didn't mean to offend anyone and if I did then I apologize
Joe,please feel free to delete this post if you think I am gay-bashing.For the record,nobody complained about the original post about these particular cruises.Just wish I could find the thing!!
