San Juan, Puerto Rico - A cruise company says one of its ships carrying gay and nudist passengers was temporarily stopped and prevented from entering the Caribbean country of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Windjammer Barefoot Cruises says the ship is carrying 110 passengers. The Miami Beach-based company says the ship was stopped by authorities off the smaller island of Nevis.
The company says authorities from the islands old cruise ship employees that they had concerns about letting the ship in because it was a gay and nudist cruise.
The company says it is working with higher authorities to resolve the problem because that type of cruise has been there before.
An official at the St. Kitts Tourism Authority says gay cruises have come to the former British colony in the past.

Gosh I wonder how or why the people of Saint Kitts would have been offended by a cruise ship full of gay nudists.

The island, in trying to stay AIDS free misses out on all of the whimsical and ecclectic benefits these tourist could bring. Tough choice!

Gay, nude? I can't imagine.
It's a good thing St. Kits doesn't have an ACLU (or a SKLU)or we'd be hearing (and hearing and hearing) about this shocking transgression of gay nude rights or nude gay rights.

Get the name of the ship and be sure that you never sail on it. Can you imagine what a befouled thing it is? I mean, there's a reason for underwear.

"The company says it is working with higher authorities to resolve the problem because that type of cruise has been there before."
The higher authority says: "Weird Cruise Ships Shall No Longer Enter The Port At St. Kitts!"
