Heterosexual couple makes waves on gay cruise
What was described as Italy’s first gay cruise found smooth seas except for one small wave: somehow, a heterosexual couple ended up on board — and they were not happy about it.
The couple is now suing the cruise line.
Newspaper reports say the middle-aged husband and wife, who have not been named, said they booked the trip directly with the line and claim they were never told of the gay theme. The couple’s lawyer tells the news outlet all 1,500 passengers on the ship were gay and events on board were gay-focused.
News reports say the couple’s lawyer says they were embarrassed after spotting people they knew but had not realized were gay on the ship.
The three-night voyage on a Grimaldi Lines vessel went from Civitavecchia near Rome to Barcelona, according to news accounts.
