Back from Amsterdam - Who needs FOD's?

[bepsf]

Howdy Y'all - back from the Amsterdam 9/12-9/19 sailing...

 

Met some wonderful people aboard ship - another gay couple and a few fun-loving str8 couples. Although it wasn't on any daily program, wherever we went, it was a FOD party! Started out on the Lido at sailaway by meeting Jeff and Victor from Alabama, then collecting Shane and Rachel from Seattle and some others along the way. Grabbed the Queen from the oversized chessboard on the Lido as the centerpiece for our first cocktails and we went overboard ever since...

 

Victor and I persuaded the str8 boys to do drag w/ us at the "great pretenders" passenger show - backing up Rachel (Leslie Gore) synching "Its My Party". The Cruise staff were very inclusive & thought that this would be great fun - and it was! We tossed a couple more other "boy+boy" references into the show - which the audience seemed to love! (I'm such a ham...)

 

Sure we scared a few older types away - but I think it was more due to us laughing and carrying on than anything else - some of the str8 couples were causing just as much of a rucus than we were - if not more!

 

One thing I wonder - why won't more str8 men wear tuxedoes? Seems like on RSVP - the men in tuxes outnumbered the ones who weren't, but didn't see many tuxes at all during formal nights - even at late dinners...

 

Anyhoo - kisses and waves, will post pix and review when I get back to SFO...

 

BTW - Cruise Critic just posted the review from the RSVP cruise:

Sounds like you had a lot of fun. That's my motto too -- the FOD party is wherever I happen to be!
