Carnival LGBT friendly?

Never had an issue either. Ive been on quite a few Carnival cruises, and I have made friends on every single one of them. I actually tend to make more friends, or interest more people's attention once I tell them I am a gay man. Most people know gay men are the coolest and funnest to hang with LOL....I actually have more fun hanging with the straight crowd than I do with the gay ones. Hell, Ive had more drunk straight husbands flirt with me than I can remember. lol Always find at least one on every cruise. I was bit on the neck like a vampire by a drunk huband one night in the casino. Needless to say he pretty much avoided me or even eye contact the rest of the cruise lmao. As far as staff, never once have I ever been made to feel uncomfortable ever. The thing about me, is I hold myself very well, and Im not afraid to put anyone in their place if they cross me the wrong way. lol Im the last gay man you want to mess with. haha! Most people go on cruises to have a good time. I find most people leave their prejudices and opinions at the port.

 

We had the best time ever last Christmas on the Vista at the LGBT gatherings. A group of us met before and after dinner at the Alchemy Bar and throughout the cruise would meet for dinner, excursions, and trivia. We're still friends with some of the people from that cruise. Otherwise, our experience on Carnival was more miss than hit because the gatherings were in the Piano Bar at a time when there were already many others in the place and nobody knew who was who. It would have been awkward to walk up to people and ask them outright.

 

However, the one thing I've always found on Carnival is that while I hang out with my husband most of the time, once we're out with others at a bar or at dinner, the straight people we meet are extremely friendly and open. So even if we don't meet other LGBT folk, we always find other couples who we run into throughout the cruise to catch up with and share a cocktail.
