What? Were there too many gray pubes in the hot tubs?
Carnival Cruise Lines has turned away a singles group that promotes cruises and other social events for cougars and cubs—older women and younger men who, um, court each other. Nearly 300 cougars and cubs sailed on a “very successful” group cruise onboard the 2,052-passenger Carnival Elation in December 2009, according to Rich Gosse, executive producer of CougarEvents.com and chairman of The Society of Single Professionals.
But when the group’s travel agent, SinglesTravelCompany.com, tried to arrange another Carnival trip, the Miami cruise line said no way. “We have decided not to have any future groups on our ships booked on this theme,” Carnival spokeswoman Jennifer de la Cruz said…. The first International Cougar Cruise included a group cocktail party before dinner each night, help hooking up for shore excursions, and “the requisite hot tub party, of course,” said Gosse.
And who’s going to break it to Gloria?
There wasn’t enough room for all 300 people in the hot tub at the same time anyways.
I’m a bit confused. Is the article saying that the ship itself was filled only to low capacity only 300 occupied of 2052 spaces, or that the group isn’t allowed to book a block of rooms for a future cruise on an otherwise-occupied cruise ship?
