Have a great gay pride week for 2009!
Gay Pride Holidays

Have you ever been thrown own from your own hotel room without a single
warning? If not, go to Angelo d’Oro. We booked a suite together with 2
friends for two nights on the phone. After the first night and a poor
and ridiculously unprofessional breakfast we left the hotel at noon.
When we got back at 8 PM to the hotel, our shuttle driver told us, that
our room is already given two some other guests. He was a nice guy so
we thought he was just joking to make the short ride more enjoyable for
us. But when we got to the hotel, it all turned to be true. They said
we just booked for one night, WE haven’t checked out in time so they
had no other choice but to collect all our stuff on a plastic tray what
was covered with a bedsheet plus in our bags and put everything out to
the sauna. OUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS put completely mixed together in
piles, jewellry, contact lenses, pilles, books, make-up kit, sandwiches
all on top of each other and this all at 10 PM without any further
information. The manager showed up in an hour, tried to put the blame
on us and was not even saying sorry. The most unprofessional service
ever, the most rude manner ever, the worth experience ever. We finally
did not have to pay for the accomodation, but we were put into a hotel
at the other end of Rovinj (arrival at midnight afrter a long and
unfriendly debate) where we were forced to pay a full rate the other
day which was even more expensive than Angelo d’Oro.

We will
make a diplomatic issue out of the case (3 hungarians and one british),
we all will inform the Hungarian and British embassy to warn their
citizens not to enter the hotel if they want a relaxed holiday in
Rovinj. The shame on the management of Angelo d’Oro to hire such
emloyees, hopefully they learn from this case a lot and will
restructure their human resources policy soon.

Gay cruises at Marbella in Spain are rife, the complete Costa del Sol holiday and hotel market is great, and prices are at an all time low at the moment. 2009 really is the perfect time to get there and holiday – wonderful for your gay cruises.

Gays and lesbians with a love of the open sea have
a bewildering number of cruising choices to accompany the diversity of
their communities and interests. For those more interested in nonstop
partying, intense bonding and gay-friendly ports of call, companies
such as Gay Pride Holidays,
frequently charter ships from the major cruise lines to offer all-gay
cruises. A major attraction of these types of “positively pink”
adventures is, of course, the joyful freedom to be totally open about
one’s affections for a same-sex partner (no awkward conversations of
the “he’s not just my roommate” variety).

On the other hand, those who don’t want to compromise on luxury or
variety of itineraries (or be “ghetto-ized” on all-gay ships) can
choose from any sailing today and feel welcomed both by fellow
passengers and the cruise staff and management. In fact, in the past
few decades, all cruise lines have come to recognize the power of the
almighty gay cruising dollar and court this valuable segment through
marketing campaigns, onboard amenities and special programs, such as
the very popular “Friends of Dorothy” (FOD) meet-and-greets, listed in
the ship’s daily programs. Targeted squarely at gays and lesbians with
children, it’s another trend in the diverse and changing gay cruising
market.
