voyager89 Posted November 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Us! Me and my boyfriend will be on that cruise. Not even sure of how are we going to pay for it haha :p it was such a great deal we got that I would be a fool if we passed on it. First time with NCL. Have you realized the cruise is actually longer? It does some ports before and then after, so it seems we are on the middle leg. Will drop us on Miami and then it goes on to Jamaica, Cozumel and then goes back to Miami. Its 28 days total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpa34 Posted November 25, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 25, 2013 My partner and I (50 and 52yo from Calgary,Alberta,Canada) have booked a balcony room on this cruise. It'll be our fourth Transatlantic cruise, first one in a westerly direction! We look forward to meeting other GLBT folks on this crossing to spend some time with over drinks and dinners! We've found that there is always a large group of us on the transatlantic crossings and hope this cruise will be same. Looking forward to getting to know some of you before hand.

CruisinMaterial Posted November 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hey Ken! It looks like you're assembling quite the crowd over here! :D I just wanted to stick a post in here so I could keep track of things. I will be a very late booking if I can make it! :( Happy Holidays! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Single Cruiser Posted November 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have done this TA the last two years and even though this years wasn't as good as last years you can bet I'll be on next years :) . Never book until late when the prices drop, they are £400 more than I paid for this years balcony at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations (of sorts) on the Michigan repeal on the anti gay marriage ban (and then took it away again). Hoping the best for you and yours, and look forward to meeting both of you. Ken.

TDotDD Posted July 22, 2014 #17 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This will be our 2nd Transatlantic Cruise - we did last year as well - but this time just the 2 of us (so far) we are 41 and 38 (or at least will be at the time of sailing) and are from Toronto - looking forward to it already - no balcony this time - they were sold out - so interior it is :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome. This will be mine and Greg's first TA. Really looking forward to it. There's a great group of people on this sailing even if this particular roll call doesn't look very active. The main CC roll call and a group on a popular social media site (that we are apparently not allowed to mention :eek:) are quite active and have a lot of guys who have done this sailing in the past as well. I'm sure you might very well know some from last year. Also, I was checking today for a friend and noticed a bunch of balcony cabins just opened up so if you want one, it might be worth checking to see if you can switch. Look forward to meeting you on board. Just 3 months to go! Karl (and Greg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl (and Greg) Thanks Karl and Greg Can you send me the link to the main thread - I had a hard time finding this one...lol I just called and the balcony is 700 more - so I think we will pass. We paid the exact same last year for the balcony as we are paying for the inside this year - and barely used it - so its hard to justify the extra money. We didn't really participate in any of gatherings last year as we were travelling with 2 of our straight girlfriends - but this years its just us - so we are planning on meeting up. Can't wait for it to get here -I am not wishing my summer away - but I am looking forward to relaxing. Dana and Mauro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana and Mauro Here's the link to the main roll call thread (139 pages so far!): http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1761958 Definitely plan to come to the gay group gatherings. Lots of fun and we've met many new friends there who we stay in touch with and even plan future cruises with. The group on this sailing are veteran Epic transatlantic-ers and many of them have cruised together before and I can tell it's a great fun group.

Zurichguy Posted August 12, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Just checking-in. I almost forgot about this board because that other "social media" space for this cruise is so chatty. Brian (and my BFF Erika) here. We can't wait for the FOD meetings. On last year's TA for The Breakaway it spilled out of Shakers and into the hallway. NCL was great and had their best bartender (Oka) working there and she kept the drinks delicious and frequent. I know a few guys on this board from The Breakaway's legendary crossing. I look forward to meeting the rest of you as soon as we all get settled aboard. Based on previous travels with some of these guys . . . you might want to look into the option of pre-buying the Unlimited Beverage Package. There are MANY late nights of dancing at the club in our future. PS: Don't forget to pack a Halloween costume and a sexy outfit for the White Hot Party. PPS: Most states are having elections on November 4th while we are at sea. Be sure to request an absentee ballot NOW from your local elections board so that you can make your votes count.
