On the last day of the Rosie Cruise, everyone trudges around, partly hungover and partly depressed, not wanting it to end! When you’re on this boat for a week, by about day four, it becomes the norm, and you start to assume you’ll always be in Utopia, with the same people and the same organic atmosphere (I know, this is an oxymoron being on a cruise ship). Even the library shelving is amazing!
“No. We have four kids, and many grandchildren, but it’s just the two of us…” I’m sure I looked perplexed, wondering why a straight couple on their 55th wedding anniversary would choose to go on a gay family cruise.The woman answered my look with, “We are here to support. We love Rosie, and love what she does. It’s important to support.”And there you go, kiddos. That’s the Rosie Cruise. It’s important, fresh – extraordinary in it’s ordinary. I hope to see you there this summer!
