I'm afraid I have only just read about your concerns and the experience you had in November. It sounds like it was very unsatisfactory.
A couple of years back I carried out a survey of cruise lines' attitudes to transgender passengers, and the ones who came out on top were P&O and Cunard.
I am in a different situation (and potentially more problematic) in travelling on a male passport but presenting as female - and I have not transitioned and have no intention of doing so.
P&O were very cooperative in helping me with any issues, I presented throughout as female, and was even given a second cruise card in my female name for use on board.
I have been on three P&O cruises as Elaine, and am about to try Cunard. Hopefully they will be equally supportive.

Hope you have better times ahead.
All the best.
