Roll Call: Carnival Triumph - January 9, 2010 - 1-9-10

[Philthevoid]

My partner and I will be on the cruise. Any others?

[gorgamel114]

I'll be there..Glad to finally see someone else is on the boat too!

[Philthevoid]

Have you ever been on the Triumph?

[gorgamel114]

No..just been checking out some vids on youtube.you?

[Philthevoid]

Are you going by yourself?

[Philthevoid]

never mind, I just saw your other post...15 people! wow!

[gorgamel114]

Going with a group of about 15 family/ friends. But I'm the only gay one in the group.

[Philthevoid]

We may just be the only 3 on the whole ship.

[gorgamel114]

haha..we'll see. Heard Carnival has FOD meetings at least on the first day.

[Philthevoid]

I heard the same thing. I think we're going to try to make it. We'll see. I just hope we meet some cool people.

 

are your friends/family okay with you being gay?

[gorgamel114]

Yeah.same here. Yeah they are with me anyways. We are a very close family. What excursions are you guys thinking about?

[Philthevoid]

We haven't picked anything yet. We may wait until we are on the ship. My partner doesn't know where we are going, it's a surprise.

 

We love Key West though, very gay friendly. So we'll probably just bar hop.

 

You?

[gorgamel114]

Nice, never been to key west myself. My uncle said to wait till we get on the ship to decide about excursions because going through Carnival is a bit more expensive. Im adventurous. Definitely doing a snorkle excursion on one of the stops other than that its up in the air. Im very independant so if I want to do something no one else wants to do I have no problem going solo. In the bahamas there is a free tour at the bacardi distillery with free drinks at the end?

[Philthevoid]

I'd like to try the Dolphin adventure, but we'll see.

 

Where are you from? Indianapolis here.

[gorgamel114]

from Marrero, LA about 10 miles outside New Orleans

[gorgamel114]

and dont forget about Karaoke at night..lol

[Philthevoid]

We'll probably go to Karaoke, but I doubt you'll see us perform.

 

What is there to do in New Orleans the night before the cruise?

[gorgamel114]

but you have to perform. I promise no one will video it and post it online..heh..The night before is a friday night so Bourbon street should be busy. If you guys are staying in New Orleans that night. Make it to Cafe du monde. Its open 24/7 but only accepts cash. Could possibly go early sat morning.

[Philthevoid]

Yep, we'll be staying in the city for Thursday and Friday night. Right at the French Quarter. Should be fun.

[gorgamel114]

Mardi Gras World is a site too. See how they build the floats

[Philthevoid]

How about any of the New Orleans walking tours?

[gorgamel114]

How about any of the New Orleans walking tours?

 

 

that depends if you are a history buff or not. They arent for everyone.

[Philthevoid]

The two I'm looking at is the New Orleans' Original Cocktail Tour and the Ghosts and drinks- Bloody Mary Tour.

Defintiely do the Bloody Mary tour, the Cocktail tour to me is something I could do on my own, you just pay for them to speak basicly. Are you getting excited for the cruise yet?

[Philthevoid]

Yeah, we are very excited. It's been a year of hard work....so we can't wait to relax a bit.

 

How about you, excited yet?
