“I’ve been on other gay cruises where I’ve sat in a jacuzzi with ten people and no one talked to each other.

In February, I joined VACAYA’s Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to kick off the company’s fifth birthday, with what would end up being about 2,700 new friends.

It seems simple but it’s quite the mysterious magic trick: to draw a crowd that values community and kindness, and has a blast at the same time.
