OK, I'm thinking the money thing is prohibitive, post-Covid.

But a five day cruise is probably not that expensive.

And then I'm not sure.

Any gay male cruise advice?

Yeah I got some advice…Do NOT get on THAT Ship! lol

But if ya gota do it…for saving the Universe purposes…then…

Maybe dress up as a woman…and act real shy lol

Bring some deep-sea diving equipment…in case you need to “Jump Ship” real quick…

Wear a dark suit…dark shades and a fedora hat…really give off that men in black vibe…that should keep em away…

Good Luck Sailor…I mean Soldier lol

It doesn't, it's just a cultural convention.
On the other hand, if nothing was "gay", we'd have to assume everything was straight by default.
And we know that ain't true.

Why would you have to assume that? For example why assume a cruise is not for everyone? We live in an inclusive world. What’s that saying when one assumes again?

As the industry takes off again ...

I think they are - cruises are for everyone!
But ...

Sigh, the old days when a ship came to Venice.

Sell some crap to the tourists.

Nowadays - that's a multistory floating apartment block in your port.

Hey, get out of my sun!

The pride parades and the clubs - it all just went defunct.

Do I even still exist as a gay man?

Possibly, i think so.

Just to say here in my isolation,

There are other people like you.

You're not alone.

Not sure I understand OP ..

Cruise ships do a lot of environmental damage/contamination.

There are a lot better vacation options out there, imo.

There's a little bit of toxic masculinity in me yet!

Swimming pools?
Har, har ,,, that's for sissies.

Dive off the side and guide the ship into port, like a dolphin.
Who's with me fellas?

An hour later: Brrr, chatter ... they should really do something about this wind.

Happy people have the right for cruisin' as much as any other.

In any case, I thought 'gay' were called some kind of weird chain of alphabet letters nowadays (though the whole LGBT-thing is supposed to mean 'Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transformers', I think - notice, how lesbians are mentioned FIRST (women are always put to a pedestal, so even these things can't go in the logical, alphabetical order, just like in the library I once visited, had 'women's and men's position' section, where 'women's' was written first, despite logically and alphabetically that word belonging to be written after 'men's' - but I guess we can NEVER have women come after men ANYWHERE, not even in Japan (cookie to the one that gets this reference)).

As far as any group's cruises go, I see it the same way as marriages - a horrible, unadvisable idea to go through with, but if you really want to, there should NOT be any obstacles for you to do so, regardless of which group you identify with, belong to, or what shape or size your body or your genitals are, or what your sexual perversions or preferences may be.

I don't see why anyone should oppose anyone's right to cruise.

Cruises are for everyone but... But what? Speak your mind friend.

Why does it have to be a "gay male cruise"?
Why not just a cruise?

Cruises can be fun and relaxing for anyone and everyone.
But it seems like you're really limiting your options for cruise lines and cruise times by only seeking out a "gay male cruise".

Plus...it seems a little prejudiced.

I wish I could pick and choose which tourists I can exclude when I go on vacation because it would be a s*** ton of them.

I wouldn't want to go on any cruise that would have someone like me as a passenger.

I was just typing a response to the op and changed my mind.
If the timing was better,I would consider joining him on a cruise
as a friend. He had a vampire story,a few years back,we could
freshen up and repost.
I really do like the idea of a cruise,but that is a dream that will
never happen now. The war drums are loud and getting louder
everyday.

I am recently widowed and wonder if you would exclude me as well?

I wouldn't get on a cruise period, I couldn't possibly imagine being stuck on a boat with 5,000 other people. It's like a floating refugee camp humped a Golden Corral buffet.

Probably, I'm an equal opportunity offender.

It's too late now and my priorities have changed.

I have learned watching old news reels,never use an Italian
CruiseLine's.Their crews have a tendency to abandon their
passengers if a disaster happens.
