WIll I meet interesting people? Is it all couples? Enough to do?
Any thoughts/similar experiences appreciated.
I booked my October 12-19 eastbound crossing a long time ago and just thought today about checking what a QM2+gay query would return online. I'm happily surprised by the result. It looks like I'll be missing gay groups on crossings before mine but it also looks like I shouldn't be the only gay guy onboard and should have opportunities to mingle with G&L.
I wasn't worried about sailing solo and I now feel it might even be more fun than I first thought. I think that the 6 days go-by very fast anyway and that there should not be any concern about getting bored onboard. Just discovering the different parts of such a large ship can be fun and probably takes hours.
So, are you doing it? I'd be interested to hear about your experience when you return. Cheers.
