General Information

  • This sailing is NOT strictly an "ALL Gay cruise" - We are holding a block of cabins for our exclusive use and events, but the Carnival sailing will have their own guests as well.
  • Proper deposits are required in-house at the time of reservation in order to confirm your reservation. If you are sending in your deposit by money order, your reservation cannot be confirmed until we have received the payment.

  • Prices do NOT include gratuities, alcoholic beverages, soda or specialty drinks, shore excursions, photos, phone calls, or anything of a personal nature.
  • Staterooms are limited within each category, and the total reserved for the cruise, so reservations are taken on a first come-first served basis. If the category you requested is not available, you must reserve at the next available category available at time of reservation. If you request a category that is not available, we may be able to get it for you, but the rate may not be the same as the inventory already allotted to us.
