Gay Cruises and Gay Friendly Cruises to various destinations, specifically approved by Travelocity for gay and lesbian travelers.  They also offer gay tested hotels.

The sun has set and now its time for the real fun.  When you’re on a cruise, most of the best activities happen at night, but shuffling through the long lists of activities can be a grueling task.  But, don’t worry, figuring out what to do every night can be easier to decide when you know what to expect of what the cruise line has set up for their guests.

1.     One of the great things about cruises is that you don’t have to search for something to do.  If you’re looking for a good show to see, they’ve got them.  Musical acts, comedians, and other performers are usually included on the ship for your viewing entertainment.  The ship has several theatres and stages where shows are scheduled for throughout the night.  Shows are scheduled conveniently for you so that, once you step out of your concert, you can make your way to another theatre just in time for the comedy act.  If you’re wondering what kinds of acts the ship has in store for you, just tune into the TV in your cabin for a list of scheduled performances.  Also, every night, your porter will deliver a “ship newsletter” that will have the schedule of events for the next day.  Be sure to take a look at these, so you can schedule your night around who or what you really want to see.

2.     Not in the mood to just watch music, but want to be apart of it?  Well, make your way to the nightclub on board and shake your money maker.  The dance club is an exciting place to be to get on the dance floor and boogie to your favorite songs.  There’s also plenty of space for sitting if you need to take a quick rest.  The dance club and the several bars on ship are a great way to not only hang out with your friends, but to meet new people too.  Meeting people in the clubs or bars on board is easy because you immediately have something in common, the cruise!

3.     Maybe dancing isn’t your thing.  You’re a singer.  Well, don’t worry.  You’ll have plenty of time to show off your talents at one of the karaoke bars or open-mic bars.  If you’ve been itching to sing your favorite “Journey” song then pop in the karaoke bar and request your song and soon enough you’ll be the rock star, wowing everyone with your skills!  If you’re more of a “serious musician” stop on over at an open-mic bar and wow everyone with your very own music.  (But remember to bring your own instrument.)  If you think you can rival the professional comedian playing in the other theatre, well treat the open-mic as your own laugh factory.  Everyone knows that when there’s open reign on the mic, it’s going to be a good time!

4.       So, you’ve just wowed everyone with your musical skills, and now you’re looking to show off you card playing skills.  Then make your way over to the casino!  The Vegas-style casino offers all the games you would expect to find a Vegas hotel from slot machines to private games of Texas Hold ‘em.  And don’t worry about it getting late, the casino stays open almost all night!

5.     You’ve just lost some money, but you’re feeling hungry.  Well don’t worry, there are plenty of food options on board, and good news is its all FREE!  If its early enough you may wan to stop in the fine dining room, where the chefs are cooking up delicious gourmet meals.  You’ll eat like a king as you eat from their 3 course menu, and don’t worry, you can order as much as you want.  If it’s a bit later in the evening stop on into the buffet dining room where you can take a dive into the vast array of meals they have for you, including a 24-hour pizza bar.  If you feel like turning in for the night, but you need your midnight snack, feel free to call up room service and have them bring you anything from their in-room menu.  And remember, order as much as you want!

No matter what your interests are, there’s no doubt there will always be something for you to do.  With the cruise ships huge range of activities, you’ll never go bored!
