There are now dozens of Facebook pages and online forums, such as Cruise Critics' Gay and Lesbian Cruisers board, where information about cruise lines is readily shared.
Gay and lesbian cruise passengers haven't been shy about their enthusiasm, either.
It's really no surprise, given there is data suggesting that the percentage of gay and lesbian travelers who take cruises is the same as - or even slightly higher than - the percentage of heterosexual travelers who cruise. The cruise industry has come a long way, not merely acknowledging but embracing its gay and lesbian passengers and LGBTQ travel.
