Royal does this too. I've seen them at 10pm on some evenings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GateGuardian Posted August 5, 2022 #77 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Talk to customer service. If enough people ask about it they will re-arrange the time. It's usually at the Martini Bar or World bar and it's always packed anyways, so it's pretty hard to meeting people there regardless of the time.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted August 15, 2022 #78 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Wanted to give an update from Summit. I think first night they had a LGBQ Gathering at 5:30. Maybe they listened to the uproar here and after that they are on the schedule for 7:45. In reality there seems to be a gathering - usually at the oblong table aft of the bar starting around 6ish and continuing on until 8:30 or so. I may just be stereotyping or just Gaydar in my observations. We have not attended due to being on a B3B and trying to be distanced from others until our third cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebloke Posted August 15, 2022 #79 Share Posted August 15, 2022 On my recent Summit cruise it was called LGBTQ+ gathering. (I think they did away with Friends of Dorothy ages ago). It was at 8:00 every night at the martini bar. Nothing organized, just a show up kind of thing. Some nights were quite busy with gay men mostly, and some nights we were the only couple. 8:00 was difficult since we had 8:30 dining so we always went around 7:00. I like the idea of different times tho. As for the upside down pineapple. I just heard about this last week. Too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure hope it was not - I’d speak up. We don’t need a closet created for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted August 16, 2022 #85 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Currently on Summit and it is posted in the daily and on the App each evening of the cruise. Looks like a pretty good turn out. We don't mean to avoid it but due to being on B3B we try to avoid all close contact until the last cruise. Nice mixture of guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too close to dinner time, and 5:00 PM would be better. As of today the app still shows 6 PM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
