I'm still unsure why this documentary was made. If I were a Catholic prayer-warrior I would use this movie to prove how gays are just shallow, selfish, sodomites with a lost direction in life. Everything about the movie seemed so empty. The character's feelings were empty, the interactions were empty. After about 30 minutes this movie just proved to be a step-and-repeat about loneliness and disappointment.Does anyone make any lasting friendships on these boats? They portrayed everyone as just heartless and cold, only smiling when they find a body to hug close to them for the night.If this is the standard for gay cruises, count me out! I was very interested in gay cruises, but it appears from this movie I wouldn't make many lasting memories...as my memory of this movie is quickly fading.On the plus side, this movie makes me very thankful for my own gay life. I do believe I'm having way more fun than those poor souls.

This documentary tells the story of some gay men who are on board a gay cruise to discover themselves and their lifestyles.Some websites and blogs have portrayed this documentary as an expose of how gay cruises are not fun, and trigger insecurities of gay men. I think it is not true at all. In fact, this documentary tells how several gay men successfully understand themselves on a gay cruise. It is a documentary that is filmed on a gay cruise, but not about a gay cruise.

Basically it lacks of substances as a documentary. Through interviews of some not-so-ordinary gay fellows, you get to see what is is like taking a gay boat trip. The real documentary would be to show how this people live in the real word... Where they probably dress, looks and probably behave differently. Aside from the clichés you could expect to see in this type of leisure activities, add the drugs that didn't seem interested in showing, just to make flight the perfect cocktail (probably a good aid to live in such a superficial world.) That being said, as a gay men i feel ashamed for this documentary, it does no good as press about the community. It doesn't represent the vast majority out there. I wouldn't like my parents to see a film like this, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who actually cares to see more of what it's like being gay.

First of all, I'm gay, watching some movie where are gays aren't dying of AIDS or either suffering for being out or almost out of the closet is a change, a good one at that. Said that, I'm puzzled with this, the kind of gay men this movie portraits a men obsessed with a gym body, having sex the whole day, partying like crazy, that is not my life or my friends, I don't get this kind of life, not really, and this is exactly what they tell you should be whether you are gay. A self immersed gay, fashion kind, being drag from time to time, and then... when the sun comes up again they wonder why no one takes them seriously, I mean, honestly!? I'm sorry people, but there is more in life than this superficial world you live in. Choosing to be part of that means that you are also accepting its rules.All in all, it's OK but it does not represent the majoriti of the gay community, should that exist.
