Ask the guy who recently returned from a cruise...

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…

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.
