cruisingcarpenter Posted August 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi, I just found out that this cruise is also a Gothic Cruise. Does anyone know how many Goth type people will be on board?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofishforme Posted August 26, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The more goth cruisers the more deck chairs will be available dont think there in to sitting in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDayButToday Posted August 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2014 The more goth cruisers the more deck chairs will be available dont think there in to sitting in the sun Or it will be a sea of umbrellas like I saw some really amazing Miami goths carrying around! How do you find out if there is a possibility of a group cruise during your trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 26, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well, they are having guest performers, so probably a sizeable amount in the group. gothiccruise.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyGold Posted August 26, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Someone posted a website once where you could look to see if your cruise was a partial charter/group cruise. I'll see if I can find it. I can't imagine a gothic themed cruise being too disturbing. Like the poster above said, probably won't be full of 'chogs'!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyGold Posted August 26, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This site here http://themecruisefinder.com/CruiseAds/ has themed cruises and groups listed. There is a little donkey-work to find out about them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkr2 Posted August 26, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2014 There was already some sniping between the goths and nongoths on our page. Kinda sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vache Posted August 26, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2014 That’s very interesting! Last year on our Breeze cruise we had several groups and it was great we can appreciate everyone. This year we will get to know a different group of people we might not otherwise have gotten to know. Can't wait were on vacation so any issues for us!

RuthlessBoss Posted August 26, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just googled 2014 Gothic Cruise and the ad was there. Advertised as including a masquerade ball. The pictures show mostly people in an assortment of dark clothing. Several bands will be here, so don't know how this will affect the public spaces. Due to the size of the ship, I don't think it will be over run with this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vmalcolm Posted August 26, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2014 We were on a cruise that turned out to be a goth cruise a few years ago. Probably one of the most entertaining cruises I've ever been on! The outfits and conversations were unique, but they were truly a great bunch of people and watching peoples reactions to them was priceless. My son and his friends ended up on some kind of a religious cruise the same week. and I can guarantee we had the better time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them joined our fb roll call and I think they will be a fun group to cruise with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoDayButToday Posted August 26, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Goths tend to get a bad rap. While I'm not personally in the goth scene, we have a few friends who are. And they are some of the most fun, goofy people we know-who also have a deeply cynical streak, like wearing dark clothing and a lot of makeup, and many are in the local theatrical scene. The ones who are cruising are likely to be more fun and a bit more social than the ones that get a little demonized sometimes. I think it'd be fun!

I've been a part of our local theater scene and I've met two of the bands that will be on this goth cruise as we had them here performing for our annual Vampire Ball a few times. Aside from their physical appearance, they will be no different than anyone else and tend to be smart, witty, creative sarcastic, funny and insightful. They are also a very tolerant group. They should be a blast to cruise with :) And I bet you'll see MAGNIFICENT costumes for the masquerade ball!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topspin1267 Posted August 26, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2014 We actually wound up on the Goth cruise on the Legend a few years back. It was really interesting. They didn't bother anyone, were usually polite, and their dinner attire was amazing (elizabethan gowns and steampunk). My son was 10 at the time and actually played cartoon trivia with Rogue, lead singer of Cruxshadows and they let us come to their concert. The Goths were way less intrusive than a lot of "normal" people youll see on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that many of them will be putting a lot of work into their masquerade ball outfits and will probably love to be photographed in them!

siestakeys04 Posted August 26, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I just Googled it and it had a short video and the outfits I saw were very interesting. They had some nice things put together. It reminds me of face off on syfy. Should be a neat cruise. Sent from my PantechP9070 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdGuyMG Posted August 27, 2014 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'd rather sail with Goths than Girl Scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyher Posted August 27, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think a Goth cruise would be pretty interesting . My DD had a friend who was Goth , very nice fella and I thought the clothes and jewelry and all were kind of cool. DD never got past the dying her hair blacker than the ace of spades phase :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingcarpenter Posted August 27, 2014 Author #24 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks everyone for your responses. I wasn't really worried just didn't know what to expect. I may post a review when I get home Thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mweiss1998 Posted August 27, 2014 #25 Share Posted August 27, 2014 We were on a Goth cruise on the Glory a few years back. They had some awesome piano bar requests! Luckily, we had one of the best piano bar musicians Carnival has probably ever employed (Mark Weiser, "the piano whore") so he was able to belt out anything that was thrown at him.
