As the omicron variant of the coronavirus continues to surge onboard cruise ships, forcing several cruise lines to cancel and postpone voyages, Atlantis Events, a gay and lesbian tour operator, is preparing to launch one of its biggest events Sunday: a 4,700-person Caribbean cruise marking the company’s 30th anniversary.
Even as the pandemic is raging around the world and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a stark warning telling Americans to avoid travel on cruise ships, regardless of their vaccination status, Atlantis insists that its vaccination mandate, testing requirements and health protocols are enough to provide a safe environment for guests throughout the voyage. Many passengers are convinced.
“It’s time to start living our lives again, and vaccines and tests allow us to do that. This isn’t COVID 2020,” said Andre Mayer, a graphic designer from Germany who paid more than $4,000 for the weeklong cruise on board Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas. “This is going to be the wildest party for our community in two years. I’m talking dirty dancing, sex, drugs, raves, orgies and sweet, sweet freedom.”
For the hundreds of cruise passengers who contracted the coronavirus on board other ships in recent weeks, many falling ill and spending days in quarantine, their experience couldn’t have been further from the carefree vacation that Mayer anticipates.
For some booked on the anniversary cruise and other Atlantis events, these reports and the omicron wave of the virus are causing them to reconsider their plans.
“The COVID reality changes so quickly that there needs to be more flexibility,” said Aiden Morgan, a 44-year-old dance teacher from Boston. Morgan sold his ticket for the Atlantis Tropical Americas Cruise later this month on Facebook but was only offered $1,480 for his $3,800 ticket.

Jan 16th is two days after Jan 14th deadline for something
I wonder how long it takes them to get rid of the male seed and feces smell after those types of cruises...
Another Freeper who doesn’t know me or what God I believe in, passing judgement as if there is only one way to interpret scripture, it’s good to know you have a perfect interpretation of the bible even though you are not a perfect person.
They got homo ninjas in Vegas at Cirque De Solei.
You would be amazed.
So what is the ship to be named? I suggest the SS Astroglide because the SS Hepatitus is in drydock.
There should be a tanker full of Clorox following astern.
Because the vaccines are not really vaccines, since they don't prevent the disease, but they may be pre-treatment drugs.
But a cruise like that is much more likely to spread AIDS and other nasty diseases that are passed through perverted sexual activities.
Just so I'm not buggered, I'm good.
Those hot tubs will be bubbling caldrons of nasty. Eewwww...
I didn’t think maritime insurers would bond a gay cruise as the ship might ram other boats from behind.
God handles being offended by killing the offender ...
Gay cruise? A floating sexual disease petri dish.
I fell sorry for the staff that have to wash the sheets.
All aboard the SS Smegma!
D. Who cares??
I would rather be on the Titanic.
The Titanic went down too.
#AbleBodiedSemen
from the coof? or AIDS??? neither...
Pity the people that are on the NEXT cruise!! UGH!
The CREW! PITY THE CREW!
I believe it left port today.
And the 2200 passengers on the Lesbian and gay charter on the Celebrity Millenium returned to port this weekend. - Tom
