So, on your first cruise, did you wonder who Bill was and why he has to meet up with his friends every day?
LOL, I did wonder about that, when I was on my first cruise! I figured out who the “Friends of Dorothy” were pretty easily, but I’ve never done Alcoholics Anonymous so I didn’t have any clue who Bill W. might be!
I wonder how many people think it’s a private party and show up, thinking there might be free drinks?
I have no idea what this means.
I haven’t seen a Friends of Dorothy on the schedule for a few years. Maybe on other lines, but our cruises have just had LGBT Meetups.
Obsolete euphemism?
Alcoholics Anonymous- founded (and handbook written) by Bill W. So if you’re a friend of Bill…

In general, cruises are for people who like staying in nice hotels and being taken care of, rather than people who want to GO and DO and EXPLORE and SEE. In general.
Most of the fun of a cruise (like a very nice hotel or resort complex) is being somewhere where you don’t have to worry about ANYTHING.
Want to eat? Ok, there’s a 24-7 buffet, lovely restaurants, bars, and room service.
Dirty clothes? No worries - they’ll be back later tonight, magically clean.
Want to be pampered? Massage? Haircut? Sauna? Aromatherapy? YES.
Want to be entertained? It’s like mini-Vegas - what are you in the mood for?
Want to lounge in a chair and read and have someone bring you drinks and snacks all day? Yeah boy.
Want to swim? Pick a pool, there’s like 6 of them.
Want to do something interesting, but not be bothered to plan or figure out the logistics? Hand your card to the nice shipboard/resort consierge and tomorrow morning you go swim with dolphins or go for a picnic on a shrimp boat or ride horses along the beach without you having to do a damn thing to arrange it.
That’s why I’m going on a cruise!
Ah. I didn’t see anything like this, but I would not have known what it was and wouldn’t have noticed it. There was a LGBT event listed in the ship’s newspaper.
