Constellation- 9-7-04

[Andrew Bryant]

We're going on the Constellation for the September crossing, Dover to New York. We know there's a group from Pied, but wondering if anyone else is signed up?

Hi Andrew,

My partner Todd and I are going to be on the Constellation for the September 7 sailing.

Are you traveling with a group?

What is Pied?

Hi Thomas,

Pied Piper is a travel agency in New York which hosts groups of gays and lesbians on cruises which are otherwise straight. There prices tend to be lower than RSVP or Atlantis, which are 100% gay. You can find their calendar online if you search for "gaygroupcruises"

They arrange entertaining activities onboard, such as poolside games, newlywed-not-so-newlywed contests, etc. The entire group usually sits together at various tables in the late seating onboard. Sometimes, port excursions are arranged and lead by Pied Piper representatives. Pied Piper Cruisers tend to be over 40, professionally oriented individuals, with maybe 50% couples.

It's a good way to meet other gay individuals and couples. That way, you don't have to face a table of straight strangers that may be less than enthusiastic about gay company at the table.

Hi guys! My partner, Jeff and I are SUPPOSED to be on the Constellation for the Dover to New York crossing on 9/7, however since we live in Hollywood, Florida, we are currently preparing for hurricane Francis!

If our home and the Miami airport do not blow away, we hope to join you all on board!
