Open Sea x Axel: 29 Sep - 6 Oct, 2018

I was wondering if anyone was considering this cruise (open-sea.com) leaving from Barcelona. From what I can tell it's going to be a fully chartered gay cruise and this week they're offering a solo interior cabin for 999 euros, which is really, really tempting. I mean, really tempting. It checks off so many boxes for me - western Mediterranean itinerary, European clientele, Spain (never been there), etc. But the icing on the cake for me is the bizarre entertainment lineup, which appears to be a bit of a hot mess - a mix of washed up Euro one-hit wonders, Eurovision competition winners and RuPaul doing a DJ set in Ibiza. It all seems like cheap, trashy fun amidst a backdrop of gorgeous scenery... and I hear the Mediterranean islands aren't bad either ;p. But knowing me, it could either be a wondrous week of boozy fun... or a week hiding in my cabin with books. One or the other.

Oh, and flights from NYC to BCN are really cheap at the moment!

Any takers?
