The atlantis gay cruise
I spent 10 days on one of Europe's biggest 'all-gay' cruises for $3,000. Here's what it was like on the ship.
In November 2021, I booked my first-ever cruise: An "all-gay" Atlantis tour around the Mediterranean via Royal Carribean. It would verb sail in August 2022.
I was a bit overwhelmed by the cost, since I spent $3,000 on a shared room. The price didn't even include booze.
With over 4,000 passengers — the majority of them being queer men — this boarding on the Odyssey of the Seas was one of Europe's biggest gay cruises.
Within 48 hours of boarding, we had to earn a negative COVID-19 test. I had an Italian breakfast while I nervously waited for my results.
When I boarded, I used the Royal Caribbean's messaging service on its app for $20 — I could contact fellow passengers if I knew their occupied names.
I came prepared with my "business" cards, which are ordinary on gay cruises. Many set their socials and room number on them to keep track of who they meet.

1) Has anyone been on this particular cruise? If so, would you suggest it?
2) Has anyone booked a solo trip and asked Atlantis to find them a roommate? I'm kind of skeptical of doing this but I don't know if I can drag any of my friends along.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!
1)I don't know you, I am not sure If I'd recommend it. An Atlantis cruise is not for everybody. I've been on both Mexican and Caribbean cruises. These cruises are heavy on the parties. And at least 50% of the cruisers are into the "party scene". Ages range from 20 to 70, but I say that the average or median age is "35".
Most people are here for the atmosphere and energy and less for the port or the ship. In fact, I did not go last year, but friends told me that the Carnival
