At the sailing day buffet lunch my lover and I realized there were more than the usual amount of gay passengers on board and then met a gay travel agent who was part of an RSVP fam. Over 50 had been invited to sample the vessel and learn about RSVP trips. Invited to their seminars (as I was in the travel business myself) I was called out by the CEO of the cruise line (Donald Caldera) and asked to contribute to the meeting. After my impromptu lesson on cabin sizes and bathroom square footage, a bitchy male agent said : "What does he do?, carry a tape measure on every cruise?" I retorted with : "Once a size queen, always a size queen!" in front of the entire audience. It was on of my best trips out of the 79 Ive been on so far.
