RobertoWard Posted April 9, 2013 #58 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hassan (Rainbowguy) what part of Houston do you live in, I (Roberto) live in Clear Lake and Jerry lives in Northwest Houston. Oh by the way both our partners are not traveling with up. Look forward to meeting you on the ship. Roberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowguy Posted April 10, 2013 #59 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I live practically in Katy (the border of Houston and Katy) in a suburb close to Greenhouse Exit on I-10 (Houston, Tx 77084). My partner can't make it to the cruise either as he is a Teacher and can't get away at this time. It will be nice meeting other Houstonians as well as other lgbt on this trip. -Hassan (Rainbowguy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertoWard Posted April 11, 2013 #60 Share Posted April 11, 2013 -Hassan (Rainbowguy): I am in the same boat (in more ways then one) my partner works for a Gas & Oil company and can't get off, to make the cruise with my, so I always travel with a friend like Jerry. It can be fun some times :)Look forward to meeting you. Roberto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_worldcruiser Posted April 15, 2013 #64 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am also a single traveler on this cruise. Maybe we can get to know each other at a meeting point like the Martini bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowguy Posted April 15, 2013 #65 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I think the ship usually designates a "Friends of Dorothy" meeting point daily for the lgbt travelers. At least that has been the case with other cruise ships I have been on. It's often held at a bar. -Rainbowguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertoWard Posted April 15, 2013 #66 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Welcome _worldcruiser: Normally on the Marnier a posting will be put on the bulletin board for a time or place of the FOD meeting. A good time around 5pm at one of the bars. Looking for the posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbowguy Posted April 18, 2013 #69 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I just read the following on http://www.cruisecritic.com - [The second group of cruise lines consists of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. These two large cruises lines have decided not to list FOD meetings in their daily programs and, instead, list FOD/GLBT meetings on the community "bulletin board" near Guest Relations. This meeting is one among several other interest group get-togethers such as "Friends of Bill W." or singles meet-ups. "[Celebrity] does not list any private functions in the daily program," cruise line spokeswoman Lisa Harrison of Emanate Public Relations told us. "Most of our ships have a set time and place marked on their board for the Friends of Dorothy Meeting." When I was onboard Celebrity Silhouette, I noticed that the official FOD meeting was listed on the bulletin board every night at a certain time at the popular Martini Bar, which had quickly become an informal hub for the cocktail-loving gay and lesbian passenger set. Listing the meetings on the visible bulletin boards represents an evolution in the FOD policy and is a way to handle increasing requests by diverse interest groups who all want to meet each other onboard large ships. And since these specific cruise lines have a consistent policy for all affinity groups who want to hold meetups, it does not seem to indicate that the line is marginalizing or discounting its valued gay and lesbian passengers. ] So since its the policy of Royal Carribean not to put the FOD announcements on the brochure, maybe we should designate a spot to meet every evening on the ship at a specified time for us lgbt travelers. The Martini bar sounds good to me. Or elsewhere. Your thoughts? -Rainbowguy (Hassan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there is nothing to stop people from meeting up at other times too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
