The cruise industry has really matured over the past few years, and it’s easy to see why. Massive chunk-of-planet-sized cruise ships that have every possible convenience on board, gently escorting you away to destinations unknown – it’s enough to make anyone try it. Gays and lesbians have had to face many hardships, and being able to have an openly gay relationship on a mainstream cruise is one of those hardships. Cruise operators were quick to find that gays are often well-heeled, and more than that, quite willing to spend lots for great getaways, and so, the gay cruise was born.
Come on, don’t be lazy. Hit “read more.”
Do you have packing issues – sorry – I should rephrase that for modernity’s sake, would you say that you are packing-challenged? I know I used to be. You’d know it too if you saw what I took with me on a “backpacking” trip. Two suitcases and a giant hockey bag! Overpacking out of excitement is something many of us often (or so I tell myself), but don’t fret. I have some tips here that might help you on your vacation or cruise.
Febreze. If you’re even somewhat sensitive to smells or dislike stale air, bring a bottle of this stuff. It’ll freshen up the more stale areas of your bathroom, or combat the smells of food, perfume, or whatever crazy stuff can go on in the halls.
Ginger. You can use it to cleanse your palate when having sushi, or use candied ginger to help remedy motion sickness. Today’s big boats have less, but if you get motion sickness, you’ll need to get over it – and ginger works!
Don’t stuff things in. Your suitcases will fit a lot more if you fold clothes as flat s they can be, kind of like when they’re new. If you don’t, not only will you be able to fit less, the wrinkles will really set in, giving you more work to do after you unpack.
