R Family Protesters

I wasn't on the 7/11 R Family cruise aboard the Norwegian Dawn, but I was saddened to read in my local newspaper that the passengers were met in Nassau, Bahamas by 100+ anti-Gay protesters.

 

Apparently the protest was held by a group of Christian pastors calling itself "Save the Bahamas." A quote in the article from one of the pastors: "We don't care how much money they bring. The Bahamas is off-limits."

Now maybe it's just me, but don't laws and state departments determine which countries are off-limits to whom? Such arrogance!

 

In my humble opinion, from the looks of the place when I was there last October, the Bahamas could indeed use some salvation, but certainly not from Lesbians, Gays and their families!

I know that cruise has a roll call thread on this board, but it'd be nice to hear about the good experiences people had as well! :)

Hi

Didn't realize the protest made the news. Yes they did protest us in the Bahama's but we had a great welcoome in the KEYS.

The cruise was great even with the protest. How can you let a handful of people ruin your vacation. I have never been protested before but we went out and did what we wanted to do. Didn't spend any money as I would have before the protesters, I feel they were the losers not us.

GREAT CRUISE AND GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL!!!

Yup...

 

Associated Press...

 

I figured (and am glad to hear) that most everyone had a great time anyway!
