Posted: 11/21/06 at 6:02pmI thought this thread was about that actor who got married in Italy over the weekend.

So I think I'm going to go...I was telling PJ that I like more urban vacations, the bf likes the beach and the sun. We went to Amsterdam in October, and that was totally for me--so I guess I can take a leap and go do this cruise. It's only fair.
And we WERE up for action in Amsterdam--it didn't happen, but it was on the table--my guess would be that this will be the same situation--if it happens, it happens. If it's a four-gy then that's actually okay by me--it's the three-way that leaves someone out as it is wont to do.
Besides, he's too smart to act a fool--you know what the rest of the trip would be like if he pissed me off BIG TIME?

lil, I am with you 100%....we did a straight cruise in 2003, and didn't even like that...I guess that sort of "cruising" just is not our thing.

Posted: 11/22/06 at 10:40amHe's never seen me REALLY upset--only about an 8.3...but I think the wild tea cups would be a pleasure in comparison.

Posted: 11/22/06 at 11:31amoh Lil, let him go on the cruise, and come to Maui with us......
#60re: Gay Cruise
Posted: 11/22/06 at 12:09pmHe's gone by himself two years anyway...and I've been to Hawaii already too--maybe I should cruise alone and HE should go to Maui with you two!

I have never been on a cruise--and would want to for the vacation aspect of it--being around the ocean and seeing exotic destinations on a fancy ship.
I would want to choose a gay friendly cruise so I could hold hands with a bf and be ourselves--sometimes that means a "gay cruise". And sure--being single, a gay cruise might be some decadent fun. But, maybe not.
But, that's why I often go to gay bars with friends--you don't have to worry about being yourself--especially if you have a bf. Granted, in NYC, I never feel uncomfortable in straight bars (are ANY bars really straight in NYC?).

Posted: 11/22/06 at 2:10pmI think I'm just being paranoid--it's hard to be cool with your bf when you're really in love--it just scares me that something might happen to fvck it all up--and I'd hate for that thing to be sexual.

Posted: 11/22/06 at 2:13pmWell that's a whole bag of something that could go down whether on land or sea if it's gonna happen. Ya know?

I guess I'm not big on cruises......I mean I can lay in the sun here, and we don't drink, and that seems to be what most people do on a cruise.
The idea of being in a floating gay bar with no way to escape just scares me.
Lil, you'll have a blast. People either hate or love cruises, hopefully you'll love them.

Posted: 11/22/06 at 2:15pmLil, if there are trust issues, it is important to have an explicit conversation long before you board the ship about expecatations, boundaries, non verbal signals, so that you guys are on the same page. Clear communication is key. Like Jerby said, any of this can happen anywhere, so just keep talking. It will be worth it and make you both feel more secure.

Wow--that's almost exactly what PJ told me--you boys are the same person!
I don't think it's trust issues so much as my and greg's definitions of a good time and good friends--my good friends are my 420 str8 boys, trashy fun gay boys who aren't catty and fun older queens who laugh at my old Hollywood references. Something tells me I won't be finding many of those folks on da boat.
Or I'm just being close-minded. Or both.

Posted: 11/22/06 at 2:26pmJust take deep breath and get on the ship. You will find a like-minded soul. Just relax. But you do need to have a clear contract of expectations with your man before getting board.

i think you'll be pleasantly surprised. my partner met a great lesbian couple on a gay cruise a few years ago. he's not a circuit boy by any means but had a great time, and not only met the lesbian couple (who preferred gay {male} cruises because they "had a better time" than on pure lesbian cruises) but ran into a few of his coworkers and their friends.
all are normal, everyday men and women who happen to be gay and happen to be on a gay cruise. if it's not a circuit party cruise (and/or your beau does not treat it like one) you will be fine. have fun, and be safe!
