Gay cruise prods straight couple to sue cruise line

An Italian husband and wife are suing Grimaldi Lines for a refund, reports The Daily Mail, after finding themselves aboard "Italy's first all-homosexual cruise."

It seems the unnamed couple booked the cruise direct with the cruise line, and were not informed of the theme for the 3-day trip from Civitavecchia (Rome's port) to Barcelona. The couple added that they ran into friends onboard whom they had not previously known were gay.

And we wonder what these gay friends thought when they saw this couple onboard?

Anyway, the public debate has the couple demanding compensation due to "lost satisfaction" caused in part by the media circus surrounding this cruise, whereas the cruise organizers claim that the couple is simply homophobic.

The original article is worth a look to enjoy the promotional photos from the cruise.
