Our large ship cruise specialist Tom Baker recently appeared on his local PBC station in Houston to discuss the recent events surrounding the Costa Concordia disaster.
This video was shot on the Aquafest 10th Anniversary Halloween Cruise with 1900 passengers, over 500 of whom were members of the LGBT community. We present these stories as a way of lifting up the positive nature of the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. This is the first video in a series of over 20!

Three people are confirmed dead after a cruise ship carrying more than 4,000 people ran aground off Italy.
There were scenes of panic as the Costa Concordia hit a sandbar on Friday evening near the island of Giglio and listed about 20 degrees.
Most people reached land by lifeboats but some swam to shore.
At least 50 people have not yet been accounted for, Italian officials say, but they caution that the passenger list may not be fully up to date.
Coast guard vessels are combing the waters around the ship, while divers are searching the submerged decks.

In the past few years I have sailed on NCL on 4 different ships – Spirit, Epic,Star and Jade. I also have a forthcoming cruise on Star in April 2012. On ‘Spirit’ the FOD meetings were held at 10pm every night, and were generally well attended. On ‘Star’ and ‘Jade’ the meetings were held in ‘The Star Bar’ at 7pm. Due to the start time (usually when passengers were getting ready for dinner or to go to early shows) I personally felt they were less well attended. Having discussed this with other attendees, we all felt the earlier start time was detrimental, and that we were less likely to meet up as a ‘group’ later in the evening. However, despite requests to the appropriate onboard Manager(s), the time was not ammended to a more popular time. Do any other readers feel the same? how do we get NCL to have a uniform timing? thoughts, ideas etc?
DISNEY FANTASY
Disney Cruise Line is estimating to launch the Disney Fantasy on April 7, 2012. A sister ship to the Disney Dream, it will weigh in at approximately 128,000 Gross Registered Tons (GRT) and carry 4,000 passengers. The Disney Fantasy will homeport from Port Canaveral and offer seven-night Caribbean itineraries.
The 4,000-passenger Fantasy will sail week-long Caribbean cruises from Port Canaveral. Its maiden voyage is scheduled for March 31, 2012.
CARNIVAL BREEZE
Carnival Cruise Lines will be launching its third Dream-class cruise ship in Spring 2012 . The Breeze is another Dream-class ship which is Carnival’s largest class of ship at 130,000 GRT and carrying 3,690 passengers. Similar to the Carnival Magic, the Carnival Breeze will feature the signature Waterworks and Cloud 9 Spa. Once the Breeze is launched, Carnival will have 24 ships on the sea.
Once launched, she will have a series of 12-day Mediterranean cruises before repositioning in November to the Port of Miami for year-round six- and eight-day Caribbean cruises.
Venture Out emerged in 1998 out of the growing need for a greater selection of upscale, small-group, specialized theme tours for the LGBT audience. They bring together usually no more than 15 participants, ensuring an intimacy and camaraderie between group members and with the professional guide who accompanies each vacation.
Join them for an all-inclusive 8-day/7-night luxury yacht-style adventure aboard the newly renovated 86 guest Safari Endeavour. The small ship experience enables you to see the awe-inspiring sights that Alaska has to offer in a unique way. This ship can sail through narrow fjords where you will have the opportunity to hike, kayak, paddle board, and beach comb, and to see awe inspiring glaciers and wildlife very close up — something that the big cruise liners simply can’t do. In Glacier Bay National Park, a Park Ranger will board the ship for two days to lead hiking and kayaking excursions and provide interpretation of the the area’s history, culture and geography.

If you’re interested in all-gay cruises, now there’s even more options for you.
LA DEMENCE has announced their second European all-gay cruise in the Mediterranean from Sunday, July 22nd, till Sunday, July 29th, 2012 with a departure and arrival in Marseille (France).
On route, they will visit Napels, Sicily, and an overnight in Ibiza. Enjoy some relaxing time on the beach or at the pool, and at night enjoy the best open air summer parties.
They have chartered the same Horizon ship, in order to recreate the very friendly, familiar, open-minded and easy going atmosphere. The ship will be completely renovated in Spring 2012!
Be prepared for a week that you will remember for the rest of your life !
