Recently talked to a guy who had just come back from a "Gay Cruise" in the Caribean sea. He enjoyed it extremely especially bec. of the "helpful" staff. Anybody knows about similar cruises in Thailand/ Asia with Thai staff?

One problem with these cruise dates could be the weather. It's not warm enough for swimming until you get well out of Hong Kong waters. So there will be restricted eye candy at the pool.

Not sure where Fountainhall is from but the 30 Mar - 9 Apr cruise should be nice and tropical. Besides there should be plenty of indoor heat action on the boat from Shangers... if you don't mind the rude Chinese folks.

Suggest you don't assume the staff are all ready and willing to 'play'.

I have a friend you contacted the information e-mail address quoted by another poster here on this thread and he was politely told that the staff were definitely not available.

I have lived in this part of Asia for over 30 years. The first part of the cruise will be distinctly cool. Shanghai can be quite chillly in late March, and Hong Kong weather is not likely to be much more than the low 20's centigrade. Admittedly, as you get out of Hong Kong waters, the temperature will begin to rise significantly and so the second part of the cruise will see more flesh on display on deck.

I do take exception to your generalised description of Chinese as "rude". A few may have some 'attitude', but most I have met in dozens of trips to China, Singapore and elsewhere are not. I can think of a boatload of westerners who also fit that description!
