 It must have taken time for the story to get over to this side of the Atlantic. |

It's quite a risk chartering such big ships for s specialist market, but they must thing they can fill them.

Well, if they have trouble filling them up, I am available to go along as someone's Aunt, Grandmother, niece, sister ...some type of extended family.
 The organizations are picking some good ships, they will fill up.  |

They fill all the ships they charter. Be it HAL, RCCL, or Carnival. Biggest to date has been the Voyager Class ship which makes filling the QM2 a piece of cake.
Not only is it a huge market but they often sell out 6 months prior to sailing with huge waitlists for premium cabins. They charge 30% more than the cruiselines do but people are willing to pay for it. Personally I have never understood it. I do not need 2,000 gay men on a ship to feel comfortable. Heck, if I can meet a handful that is more than I can get to know in a week. Imagine trying to keep 2600 names in your head???? Besides I enjoy all of the passengers on all of the ships. Too exclusive for me. jeff |

I've always wanted to try an all-gay cruise, but never wanted to part with all that money, just to come home feeling even older and uglier than I do already. HOWEVER, seven days of "eye candy" might be just what the doctor ordered.
 A smaller cruise would be more perfect, especially if it was limited to mature gay men (if such exists LOL), mature meaning 40+. A Windjammer type of cruise would be perfect  (if I didn't have to do any of the work - it's a vacation forcryingoutloud).Mark8) ((got my shades and ready to sail - ignore my sallow (smiley) complexion)) |

I agree Jeff, it does sound too exclusive. Part of what makes cruising fun is meeting all kinds of people from all over the world.
