Favorite Bear Group Cruise?

Thinking about cruising with a bear group this year and wonder which to choose from--Arno's, Chumley's, Brand G? Had a miserable experience with Pied Piper--not because of the people, but because of their management--so that's not an option. We're in our 50's and like the idea of a group cruise on a larger ship that's not all gay. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

We did Chumley's, it was fine but didn't take to their agent (who I understand is no longer working with them...seems like I saw his picture on some other bear group based in Florida). However, they tend to book on Princess which isn't our favorite cruise line....so we haven't done a bear cruise since. An ex swears by Arno's....but that is now third hand to you! LOL

I'm doing a bear cruise out of New Jersey in October. If you Goggle it, you'll know which one and although I haven't sailed with them yet I found the pricing good and the response to my various questions, very good. Service has been top notch.

A friend and I are booked. We took this cruise last year and had a good time. There was a bear group last year and met a couple of nice guys.

Looking forward to the sail away. Last year we lucked out with sunny weather every day. I don't have that expectation this year but it's always great to get in a taxi from home and be at the ship in 20 minutes.

Time is getting close now. Luggage tags ordered, tickets printed... now to grab the suitcase and start thinking what's needed.

Yippeee! Looking forward to checking out a new restaurant on the ship.

We cruised with cruise4bears twice and loved it.

Boco, thanks for the tip. I never heard about this group, but that cruise is exactly what we've been looking for.

Have fun!

I really want to do a bear cruise, but I can't bring myself to pay the higher prices , especially as a single. I have zero desire to be matched up with a stranger.

There is a Mediterranean bear group cruise taking place in August. It ends in Barcelona the day bear week in Sitges Spain begins.
