Hi Everyone
I have excessive points left on my DVC timeshare that I will probably bank, and I am considering using them for an unusual splurge after next years DVC usage year.
I have discussed with my partner about the possibility of going on a 7 day Disney Caribbean Cruise, in a unit with an outside verandah. Everything looks great about it, but the absence of other gay couples WITHOUT children.
We are kind of thinking of early November 2010 as a possibility, and I am assuming there are not a lot of older Children on School Vacations at that time.
I feel a little uneasy about trying this without like being part of the PODCAST Cruise for example, or other friends/family members (gay or straight) that we know. I can see quite a few gay couples who have gone or are going on the PODCAST cruises, and actually that sounds nice, but that event has to be on a cash basis and not the DVC points to participate with that fun group.
Has any other gay couples gone totally alone on a Disney Cruise Trip before?
I was reading advice on a cruise critics site that rated many of the mainstream cruise lines for gay couples, and Disney was the least favorite idea among gay couples without Children? It wasn't that they were against Disney, they just wanted to feel totally part of the voyage and not a side show of a Family Oriented Vacation theme. I don't want to be the only one or two male gay couples on a cruise ship.
I would like to hear about any gay couples (without CHILDREN) experiences on the Disney Cruise Lines. If I had children, this wouldn't even be a question, and I would be calling DVC to make the reservations as soon as I could.
I could treat other family or friends to come along, but that isn't going to happen in this economy.
Thanks, Phil
