squidward Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Does anyone know of any group cruises for LGBT couples with children? Google searching only came up with old rCruise links. Are they no longer doing family cruises? Seems there would be a market for them, considering how many of us have kids nowadays and how welcoming the cruise industry has been to us.

squidward Posted January 14, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks, Tomato. Now I found the cruise listing on their Web site - it wasn't clear at first that the cruise was in 2014. Unless I'm completely missing it, :confused:they don't have the full date of the cruise listed anywhere. Have you or anyone else reading this gone on a family cruise with them? Any opinions out there? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato53 Posted January 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Ed, we don't have any first-hand experience w/ rfamily but it looks like they do a nice job with the cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielle4 Posted January 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi, We went on their first cruise quite some time ago. We did not bring children but I can tell you that they had a fabulous time! It was beautiful to see all the children from all over hanging out and having fun. There were babies up to teenagers on the ship. There was so much for them to do...I doubt any of them were ever bored. We are going on the anniversary cruise in July...even though they are only chartering it, we can't wait! LOVE the big ship. Send Greg from R Family an email. He is very helpful. info@rfamilyvacations.com nielle:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjm8325 Posted February 15, 2014 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hi -- We will be cruising on the Explorer of the Seas on Sept.25, 2014. We have two girls, age 11. My kids love cruising so we try to go out of NY whenever we can. We wanted to do an RFamily but the prices for LGBT cruises are generally so much higher. In the past I have tried to identify other gay families prior to a cruise but I never had any luck. We have met some great gay couples along the way. For some reason, it is harder to engage women. Oh well -- You are welcome to join us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidward Posted February 18, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi, MJM. Thanks for the invite! I'm actually trying to decide what to do that week in September, since it will be my 50th birthday.:eek: I celebrated #40 on a cruise to Bermuda, why not #50?;) The only thing is we have a cruise to Bermuda booked the first week in June, just for DH and me - no kids this time - and then we are looking at a big family cruise in January 2015. We might not be able to swing a cruise in September. I'll give it some thought and let you know if there's a chance we can join you. Ed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadaawwg Posted March 2, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My partner and I took our two boys (ages 9 and 13) on their first cruise last year. They had a BLAST. it was not specifically a LGBT family cruise, was 7 days on Carnival Liberty. Got some great family pics too!!! https://www.facebook.com/aquadaawwg/media_set?set=a.10151512489079685.1073741825.681954684&type=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamui4x Posted March 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2014 We are a gay couple taking two foster children on a Carnival Cruise March 22nd out of Port Canaveral. I haven't looked for group cruises per se but we hope to meet some couples with children on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
