This is not news. RSVP has been booking group cruises on the QM2 since
she first started sailing. They have also booked group cruises on HAL
ships, Celebrity and NCL.

I thought that only the Queen of England, old fashioned nurses, and drag
queens referred to themselves as "we". Since you don't appear to be HRM
Elizabeth II, or Nurse Ratched should it then be assumed that you are
Lip Synca, Jelly Joplin or one of her sisters? ;-)

BTW you are misinformed. Atlantis, R Family Cruises and sometimes
Olivia are the only GLBT cruise companies that charter entire ships.
Mostly these have been Carnival and RCL ships. RSVP and Pied Piper run
guided gay men only group cruises on cruise ships also carrying general
pax. Coda specializes in tours for mostly gay men to destinations that
can't be reached by the large cruise ships such as Nile river tours or
the Yangtze.
