The world has changed a lot over last 20 years, all cruise lines are now gay-friendly and so seem to be the guests. Nowadays one can choose the cruise without thinking about hiding oneself in the closet. In this situation, Atlantis has to compete with regular cruise lines for those not primarily interested in the parties - a fight hard to win. Parties sell though: this year’s big party cruises (Oasis and Odyssey) are sold outs whereas the “destination” journeys (Spanish, Baltic, Central American) are not.
