You can bring as much luggage as you want but there are a couple of things to keep in mind when packing:
  1. less is more
  2. airlines have their own baggage allowance restrictions
  3. vacationing is about letting go of baggage not bringing it with you
It depends on the ship. Many of them have an Internet café but not all. But there's a very good chance you will!

Hello, yes his is gay cruise and it will be sexual! Usually guys hook up in private but expect to see things out in the open that you won't see on a straight cruise. Expect to some serious kissing, hugging, chapless asses. There will be certain areas of the ship that become of special interest for the horney bears at heart (grin).

Buy an Underwater disposible Camera they are a blast and you'll get some very interesting pictures.

 

You want to sign up for excursions ASAP, otherwise they book up fast. Most the time you can do this right when you get onboard the ship from your room. If the excusions offered by the cruise book up don't worry you can talk with the local vendors offering probably the same or very similar excursions that RSVP doesn't know about.
Well, you're traveling to Alaska so you should expect that it will be cold. How cold is relative to you. If you're from the Deep South then the sixties might seem cold and if you're from the Northeast the thirties might seem warm. We suggest checking the weather report on weather.com so you can make your own thermostatic decisions.
You're going to get fat on this cruise, I won't lie to you! The food and desserts are amazing! You eat as much as you want, from quick places to eat to sit down formal.

ALCOHOL
Watch out, when the ship is docked and you are shopping, the locals know you have money, once you buy one thing several other people will want to sell you their items too!
You will be able to buy lube and condoms on-board but anything else you're not going to find on the ship. It's a good idea to bring these items with you on the ship because you don't want to take the change of the ship being out of supplies. Remember you can NOT carry lube on to a plane, it must NOT be inside a carry on bag or you'll loose $25.00 worth of lube (grin).
Yes, but only for formal dinning and you can wear what you want. Since dining in the nude is about the only thing that's not allowed on an RSVP Vacations trip (except in your room). However, you don't need to dress up for every meal. There are a variety of dining options from the super dressy to the super casual.
Alcohol is NOT included, I repeat NOT included and this is where you will get hit in the pocket book, be very carefull you don't spend too much. Keep track of what you have spent each day, it adds up fast!
