Yes, I see what you mean. Should be a "fun" trip for y'all. Do keep me posted. Handbags at 20 paces!

Hey,
My bf and I along with another gay couple will be doing this cruise. Do many attend the FOD meetings on board? We went to one on Carnival and it was dead so we just left...

Hi. Oh good. We were thinking it would only be us and the other couple. Welcome aboard. Don't forget to go to the other posting for this cruise and put your names down for the CC get together on the first sea day.

As for the FOD meetings, it always depends upon the cruise. We've had as many as 40 on one and two on another. And when we did Carnival, there was just me and the hubby!

Very excited to meet ya'll. Where ya from?
Bryan and Roger

Thanks for the nice welcome Bryan & Roger. We're from Toronto. Just curious.. what are the age ranges of people at the FOD meetings? I'm trying to get a vibe... I'm really excited to meet some people! Hopefully there'll be some, unlike on Carnival, lol.

Hi guys. We were in Hamilton last year for July 4th. Didn't have time to get to Toronto but on our schedule. A friend and his b/f go up for some sort of leather street fair. I think that is it.
I'd say the longer the cruise, the older the ages of the pax, however, the age can range from legal to "help me with my cane". We usually have a great time with everyone. One week to go. Yea. When do you arrive in FLL?

Hi Tom and David. Welcome. Don't forget to sign up for the regular CC get together. I think this makes 5 couples as of now. One week to go. Looking forward to meeting y'all at the FOD/LGBT party.

Default Ok last chance

Any one else on this trip? Last time, I'm asking. I'll just sit in the corner until I hear back.

Welcome you two. I think this will make 6 couples? If my math is correct. It usually isn't. Roger is good with numbers. Second cruise? Well this one I am sure you'll love coming from Canada this time of year. We arrive in Lauderdale on Thursday morning. Staying with friends till Sat. Looking foward to meet you two.

Great to see so many other couples on the cruise! We'll definitely be at the FOD meeting. On our last Princess cruise there were about 25 who attended. We had a great time and a big group of us took over the dance club each night. See you soon!

Hi there. We had a fun time. The weather did not cooperate much. We really only had one great day and one good day. It did not stop many people from getting out into the sun though. Several excursions were cancelled due to the weather.
The captain is great. He came to the CC get together. We had 6 FOD or LGBT meetings. I'd say maybe 20 people the most. Great bunch of guys. Several women also. Someone was there from the crew each time. A few foreigners did not know what LGBT meant though. So damned if you do, damned it ya don't. We did a tour to Tulum. Boat, bus trip but worth it. That was the ok day weather-wise. I am sure you'll have a good time.
