GLBT Cruising

Any special advice? My main worry is how trans friendly the ships and ports are.

Seen plenty of Gays on board,

 

Ports may vary by where in the world you are.

Here's the GL board if you are interested in posting there.

My very small sample indicates no issues for the QM2 or several other ships friends have sailed on.

 

Things will vary port to port - there likely will be some where a DIY excursion is not advisable, at least not without extensive research.

 

For traveling while trans issues - if you are full time / post transition / RLE do all of your paperwork bits align? This is principally your passport + photo ID of some sort.

I don't see how anyone would even know, if you are acting like the gender you wish to be. You'll be surprised at how little anyone on vacation notices about others.

Thanks for the replies and the link. Still new to the site.

You should have no issue on any mass market line that is based in the US. Research your ports carefully, because in some you may have issues.

We've been on both Princess and Royal Caribbean with our trans daughter and there were no problems at all. No issues at all with either passengers or crew.

I have read that Jamaica is not LGBT friendly at all...you probably would not want to get off there (heck I'm straight and I refuse to get off in Jamaica).

Once we were parked next to an all gay men chartered ship. Only women we saw had same red skirts on, waitresses. Don't know how to find this type of cruise so ask around in gay bars, etc.

We have eaten with gay men and had no problem. They were great and who cares if they are gay or not, they are people like everyone else!

In ports just don't hold hands, act like straight men who are friends cruising together. Then there should be no problem in ports.

Go on most any cruise and have fun. Any person regardless of gender or sexual preference who makes a scene will stand out. Many LGBT cruise frequently and make the most fun acquaintances on a ship, generally due to the friendly attitude. Go and have fun.
