How gay friendly is Carnival?

Read some old posts about how gay friendly Carnival and came away unsure.

Looking at the Hawaii cruise on the carnival Legend next April. Is it more likely to be a gay friendly crowd?

There's a special board here on Cruise Critic for gay and lesbian cruisers. I'd suggest you post your question there. Here's the link

well I have one friend who sails them exclusively. a LOT. so it can't be gay Unfriendly.

 

I know I have seen more than few Cross dressers/Trans types on Royal. usually having more fun than anyone else.... but since most gay people are not 'Just Jack' who knows how many I have come across in my travels.

My husband and I have travelled on several lines including Carnival and have not had an issue on any of them. We make no secret of being a couple and have never received anything less than great service and have not been on the receiving end of any homophobic behavior.

For what it's worth, my son and his husband are avid Celebrity cruisers and have always had a wonderful time on X. They love the atmosphere.

If you're looking for a good itinerary, check out the Mexican Riviera cruises out of Long Beach, California. (Other lines sail out of San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles)

Puerto Vallarta is very gay friendly, lots of bars etc. It's Mardi Gras parade was a hoot. Mexico is considering legalizing same-sex marriage.

I guess it's the other guests that make the cruise "gay friendly" or "gay unfriendly"

 

If sailed on NCL only so far. And I always saw in the program Meetings for LGBT.

I assume it's the same on other cruise lines as well.

Well my partner decided that the Hawaii cruise was too much money (even though I was paying for it and could afford it).....so that's that! LOL

 

Thanks for the replies people
