To gay cruise - or - Not to gay cruise.

There are many ways to take a cruise and one of the more popular for gay men is to take a gay cruise. These vary is style and passenger as some are designed for the young crowd and some for a more mature crowd. Personally the thought of spending a whole week on a cruise ship surrounded by thousands of gay men was my worst nightmare. Gay men can be AWFUL ON MASS and the ' gay community' is an appalling place to reside - BUT - I did take a LGBT cruise a few years ago from Barcelona to Ibiza and while it was a smaller ship with 1,400 passengers, it did have a friendly atmosphere as the pretentious queens we just ignored.

Below is an advert for other gay cruises. See what you think and oif you take one, do let us know how it went.
