mike carey Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thousands of people (mostly or exclusively men but that part is largely irrelevant), the complete range of ages, add in some party (and other) drugs, a new and unpredictable disease and unaccustomed levels of activity (vertical and horizontal) in tropical heat, the surprise would be if there weren't more deaths. Natural causes alone would have suggested as much in that demographic mix even before 'culturally specific' characteristics of the group concerned were considered. + Vegas_Millennial and + BenjaminNicholas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC_Lover Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It's fun but it can also be a lot. personally not going to try it again. wasn't expecting the drug use to be out in the open as it was and no one explained that to me beforehand. + Vegas_Millennial and musclestuduws 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYXboy Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Im curious if anyone has gone on Atlantis as a solo traveller and chosen to allow Atlantis to put you in a room to share with another solo traveller? I am thinking of going and it could be a good way to meet new people being paired up with someone else alone also! musclestuduws 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthOfTheBorder Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 a friend went solo on Atlantis and got put into a room with one of the major drug dealers onboard. (yes, there are multiple drug dealers onboard every Atlantis cruise) on the plus side - the guy was never in the room and got off the ship after 3 days.

If you can afford it, I'd pay the extra fee and get a single room. If you do share a room with a random stranger, communicate with him your expectations/boundaries to help prevent issues. musclestuduws, + Vegas_Millennial and SouthOfTheBorder 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have travelled solo and stayed in backpacking hostels in Europe and made great friends along the way, but I was in my mid 20s and early 30s. I am 41 now, but I imagine the age demographic of the ship would be slightly older due to the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on Atlantis when I was 42 yrs old - most of the behavior was something like 25 year olds regardless of actual age. Not everyone - but vast majority for sure & it wasn’t exactly relaxing. Be ready to see lots of open drug use & people that can’t handle it.. If you’ve ever been exposed to circuit boys after 3 days of nonstop partying - you know this is something to avoid. I’ve never even considered a second Atlantis cruise - and there’s a reason. EZEtoGRU, Marc in Calif, musclestuduws and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ BenjaminNicholas Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Atlantis attracts young and old: Price isn't so prohibitively expensive that it keeps away the tweaking twerking twinks and wannabe OF crowd. I mean, it's an NCL or Celebrity ship.... Not Ponant. One Atlantis cruise was enough for me. It's like being stuck at the club long after the lights have come on. I did one RSVP cruise from Asia on an Azamara ship and it was fun. Totally different crowd. The cost and travel obligation kept a lot of the dumpster fire contingent away. Have done several R Family cruises. They always have interesting itens and pick unique ships. Edited January 25 by BenjaminNicholas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not gay, which was what the op was going for, it's a new line with a great product. I have a client who loves high-end cruises. We did the new Explora I this last year. For only having had a few months of sailing, the ship is great. Beautiful atrium bar. Good gym. Great spa. The design on the ship is modern without being cold. Reminds me of what Viking does so well with their ships. Explora reminds me of MSC's Yacht Club product if the whole ship were designed for it. They truly took a good product from their larger line and condensed it down into the very best of what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are offering a great price on a 17 day Barcelona to Miami crossing with a very reasonable single supplement, which I am trying to negotiate. + Lucky and + BenjaminNicholas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one over a decade ago. It was an Alaska cruise and overall had a great time. I ended up going with a friend as my roommate so I myself have not paid for the single supplement. We did meet other folks who had roomed with a random stranger and had negative experiences (i.e. drug use, snoring, poor hygiene, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
