More pics!
Impy,
You say it's a 'gay' cruise, but I mostly see men in your pictures. Are lesbians not invited or is that like a separate 'lesbian' described cruise?

--- Quote ---Delalluvia - I have a cruise coming up in November - it is on one of the BIG ship cruiselines that you can indeed get for much less (can feel kinda like a cattle car @ times - but really not that often). My cruise is 2 weeks, Nov 3 - Nov 17 & cost $1057.00 including tax. Of course it's an older ship & my cabin is in the bottom in total darkness (no porthole) which makes it suitable for a mushroom.

I'd be petrified. No way they could get me in a floating metal coffin and lock me downstairs with only one way out.

This was basically a gay-men cruise, but we did have 3 lesbian couples join us. Interestingly, the week before our cruise, the ship had an all-lesbian charter. So the crew of the Wind Surf had two straight weeks of catering to gay people.
There are several lines that specialize in lesbian cruises: Olivia Cruises, and Rosie O'Donnel's line (don't know its name). I believe these companies own their own ships.
Finally, there are cruises that have large gay and lesbian contingents booked into one of the regular cruises. The gay groups are called "Friends of Dorothy" and I'm told they have some parties and events exclusive to them.
You really can do a cruise, my dear. Decide you want to, and set a goal. Many cruise lines are lowering their prices, and you can find some with prices starting under $1000. That's pretty good for room and board for a week!

Didn't originally see the close-up pic. - Dark glasses, dark shirt next to the man w/ the blue & white stipes?
Del - Thanks for putting that thought in my mind! Actually, it's the best sleep I ever get - TOTAL darkness & gentle rocking all night long. I'm really of the 'when it's your time' frame of mind anyway.
Come to think of it - don't think those portholes are big enough to bail out of anyway & where I am, once I get out to the deck, the drop is a lot shorter. ;D Gotta look for the positive!

Yep, that's me, but the magician isn't in the blue stripes: he's standing on something so is raised a bit, bare chest and a white strap over his shoulder.
For those still looking, divide the pic in four squares, then look for me smack dab in the center of the northeast square. Sunglasses and a fat face. :-\

Oops. [blushing face] Sorry about that. But didn't someone famous onetime say going to sea was like being in jail with a chance of drowning? :P
Impy,
I can do a cruise, like those cheapie all-the-food-poisoning-and-alcohol-you-can-puke-while-dodging-on-board-fire cruises to the Caribbean, but one like yours...to the Med. The price was sans airfare, right?
