- hjahangiri, on 10/18/2009, -7/+526The author of the post does make a good point: "Anytime you are being put on a boat with a target audience, you should be informed. I would also sue if I unexpectedly ended up with my boyfriend on Italy's First Singles Cruise, Italy's First All-Nine-Inch-Nails-All-Day Cruise, or Italy's First Cruise for Twilight Fans (no offense to any aforementioned parties)." Wow. Imagine. A whole cruise catering to Twilight Fans. You have to admit, that does put this in a whole 'nother light.
- alanocu, on 10/18/2009, -22/+508Trust me, I've been on gay cruises on purpose, and a straight couple doesn't want to be on a cruise with us gay boys. They aren't homophobic; a little bit naive though. How on earth they didn't realize they were on a gay cruise until it was too late is beyond me. If 1,500 shirtless men wearing speedos wasn't obvious enough.... How do you get on a gay cruise and not realize something is different when you're the only female on board? Gay cruises don't mix gay men with gay women. This boat was wall to wall men. If the cruise line said there was nothing scandalous going on, then they are lying. We party like rock stars. I'm surprised some of those queens didn't sue the cruise line for letting a straight couple on board. We're the biggest bitches, trust me. This poor couple was probably horrified. The cruise line is to blame. I hope the couple gets every penny they're suing for.

- buddahmonk, on 10/18/2009, -13/+185They should definitely get their money back, but taking it to court is a little overboard. As for them being Homophobic and intolerant, I disagree. The argument that "Gay people do go on regular cruises..." is invalid. Putting a gay couple on a hetero cruise is Not the same as putting a hetero couple on a Gay cruise.
- schlagsahne, on 10/18/2009, -28/+196Buried for not being able to spell buried.
And for being a homophobe. - dborgir, on 10/18/2009, -19/+180Homosexuals, twilight fans, I fail to see the difference.
- richirwin, on 10/18/2009, -3/+137This couple was having the kinkiest sex of everyone on board!
- ifruit, on 10/18/2009, -15/+145and for being a giant douche
- gusbeavis76, on 10/18/2009, -2/+129Eh. I don't blame them for suing at least for the cost of the cruise. Personally, I'd take lemons and make lemonade (not so far as to make a lemon party over it...;) and simply find it amusing. But, having worked on cruise lines before, I know that people go to relax and escape, and homophobic or not, being on a big gay party boat would probably get in the way of that. No need to sue for anything like emotional trauma, but just give them the cost of the cruise back.
- diemunkiesdie, on 10/18/2009, -7/+125If you are in the 10% who doesn't party, wouldn't you be the one giving the 90% the bad name?
- elnerdo, on 10/18/2009, -1/+118"They should definitely get their money back, but taking it to court is a little overboard."
How do you expect them to get their money back, then? - brianez21, on 10/18/2009, -4/+114Meh, I'd go on the Nine Inch Nails cruise.
- inactive, on 10/18/2009, -40/+147Right, because gay people are known for their modesty and discretion.
- piieerrrree, on 10/18/2009, -7/+113Never been on a gay cruise, terrified to even imagine going to one for the very reasons you've listed.
- vsujohn2, on 10/18/2009, -6/+106Except for herpes.
- diskoh, on 10/18/2009, -6/+104"According to The Daily Mail..."
No reason to read another word. - dman24752, on 10/18/2009, -3/+101Hey honey,
Are all the men on this trip bachelors or are their wives out shopping somewhere? Oh, sweet, they like to dance. That guy's shoes are very nice... Wait a second... - Truedirt, on 10/18/2009, -4/+81Something doesn't sound right here. How in hell is it possible for this couple to be the only two in the entire ship to be totally clueless of whole set up?
- txballer, on 10/18/2009, -10/+84and for being a dumbass. Go back to school homophobe!
- pwarnock, on 10/18/2009, -0/+67They were deal shopping and didn't read the fine print.
- BREZZZ, on 10/18/2009, -7/+69What happens on the gay cruise, stays on the gay cruise.
- Subduction, on 10/18/2009, -4/+65I agree with SpykerSpeed:
Remember Gay People, if you're perfect and act straight, straight people will finally like you.
The reason you're being discriminated against is, in reality, all your fault.
Holding hands? Skimpy bathing suits? Heavy drinking? Anonymous sex?
Straight people *never* do that, and you'd be well advised to learn that lesson if you ever want to be allowed to visit your partner in the hospital. - Chooxo, on 10/18/2009, -8/+67Excellent trolling, sir!
- ifruit, on 10/18/2009, -8/+65riiight riight, and I'm sure you would like to see if it fits in your mouth "for the sheer amazement" too? ehh? ehhhh?
- Chooxo, on 10/18/2009, -2/+58Wife: Oh well, maybe we could hook up with one of the gay guys and we could make it a threesome?
Husband: REFUND, NOW. - bigtime2, on 10/18/2009, -0/+55They're probably suing because the money wasn't refunded to them in the first place.
- rambomcfly, on 10/18/2009, -2/+55Relax. You'll live longer.
- nlight23, on 10/19/2009, -0/+51Homosexuals don't necessarily like vampires. All Twilight fans love gay vampires.
- thrilladdict, on 10/19/2009, -1/+50don't insult us *****'s with the twilight *****!
- Subduction, on 10/18/2009, -2/+50I'd just like to be honest and say that although I'm a straight man, I would like to see an actual 12" ***** in real life just for the sheer amazement.
- Subduction, on 10/18/2009, -1/+49Husband: "You don't understand! I'd gotten five blowjobs before I realized it was a gay cruise!!!"
- neuroticfish, on 10/19/2009, -0/+46I like cruises, I like NIN; but my idea of a relaxing cruise does not involve 24 hour days filled with tranquil singles such as "Happiness in Slavery" and "Mr. Self Destruct."
- Subduction, on 10/19/2009, -2/+47Well hell ifruit, what's the point of visiting the Washington Monument if you're not going to climb to the top?
Can sexual orientation get that specific?
"I'm not gay or even bi-curious, I'm solely 12-inch-*****-curious." - OliveStreet, on 10/18/2009, -0/+44Jeeze .... I wish I could go on a cruise where there was nothing but lots of hot, scantily clad women who just wanted ragging anonymous sex with me.
In the hetero world, it's men trying to figure out how to get in womens' pants while the women continue to figure out ways to keep men out of their pants (until there's a diamond ring or some other commitment). But in the gay world, it's the men trying to figure how to get in mens' pants while the men are also trying to figure out how to get in mens' pants. - piieerrrree, on 10/18/2009, -2/+43Straight people have dirty sex, too.
Dirty sex is the best sex! - publiclurker, on 10/18/2009, -2/+42How about a Creed cruise then?
- j3ff86, on 10/18/2009, -4/+44That *****'ll come back with you.
- kasjogren, on 10/19/2009, -0/+38Wasn't Cuba Gooding Jr in that movie?
- Buckwyld, on 10/18/2009, -12/+49Oh, I would totally sue if I took my girlfriend on a cruise and once aboard found out it was a "Dudes who workout with a 12 inch *****" cruise.
Oh, and I am not referring to the cruise in the article. Just to be clear. - thesonofdarwin, on 10/18/2009, -2/+39You're right, Spyker, except we're not 10%. What alanocu described is not the majority of homosexual males. They are the ones everyone knows about and thinks about when you mention "the gays," though. The rest of us live our lives without going out of our way to make a spectacle of ourselves.
- WitNit, on 10/18/2009, -3/+39This is like the movie "Boat Trip" w/ Cuba Gooding Jr. I bet if you check this couples Netflix account it will show they recently watched this movie and then came up w/ the idea of getting some money out of a cruise line
- Zubata, on 10/18/2009, -1/+37I've watched a clip of a gay pride parade on TV. From what I saw, I can't imagine anyone not realizing what kind of a cruise it was for more than two or three seconds.
- publiclurker, on 10/18/2009, -2/+37Well, I've heard rumor that there may be porn on the internet.
- Vindexus, on 10/18/2009, -1/+35Maybe he was talking about gay guys on cruise ships?
- tidu, on 10/19/2009, -1/+35I'd offer a Nickelback cruise but not even the band wants to go on that.
- Chooxo, on 10/18/2009, -0/+34Quick points of explanation for those wondering how anyone could have confused this situation (from the original article):
They booked the cruise using loyalty points from their supermarket (so you can already see it's not a cruise they specifically chose).
When they booked the cruise, directly with the company, no-one told them it was also hosting the Revuelta event.
They arrived at the port and saw the ship surrounded by the media. They thought it was because someone famous was on board.
Among the passengers were people who they knew, but had no idea were gay, which was uncomfortable for all parties. (So you can imagine seeing people you recognise, and believe to be straight, which would momentarily throw off any suspicion).
That last point must have been so awkward, though. "Hey, John and Bruno! What are you guys doing here?!" - eanbowman, on 10/18/2009, -3/+37You are on a ship with your lady and a zillion other guys that make her hot, but who don't want her. They also tend to know when you are hetero and don't bother you.
Yup, sold. :D - erkokite, on 10/18/2009, -3/+36Yeah, more like, "PARTY LIKE ***** STARS!" AMIRIGHT?
Thank you folks, I'll be here all night. - rusty11, on 10/18/2009, -8/+41don't forget HIV
- Razorguy, on 10/18/2009, -1/+33A whole cruise catering to Twilight Fans.
"Local authorities believe the terrorists used a SAM to sink the vessel. A special grassroots funding for their defense has been set up 'in the name of all people with good taste' from several sources around the world. -
