Cruising, en fem, non binary

[Rachael Leigh]

This past week was a first for me, I spent 7 days at sea being totally fem and somewhat non binary in
my appearance. I flew a bit mixed but was addressed as ma’am several times. I did not wear a wig but
my natural hair almost every day. So I share this as not only an experience but as a way for you ladies
to understand that we are being accepted more than even I realized. I was treated well and it was great

Two pictures I’m sharing were done by the professional photo folks on board and yes the one in my dress is of course a wig. I hope you all enjoy my friends

Two more pictures, one from the deck of the ship the other a section of the ship called Central Park

Rachel,
I'm so pleased youi enjoyed the cruise so much , the pictures are wonderful , many thanks for sharing with us .

Possibly one picture is missing showing the bikini lines !!

Maybe you could let us know some of the port's of call and how they went while ashore .

[Patience]

Wow, what a fun thing to do while dressed.

Glad you had a good time.

Teressa, thanks for asking. We went to 3 ports, St Marteen then San Juan PR, but that was a short stop only 6 hours.
Then to an all inclusive part of Haiti called Labadee a place bulit by Royal Caribbean.
There truly were no problems while on shore, the ships crew was great despite my male ID having to be used as you must
use official names for such trips but I was never once questioned despite my very fem appearance, of course I know it’s because I don’t truly pass but it’s ok I can be me and not worry about it all

I also wanted to mention while on the ship they had an LGBTQ meet an greet in one of the bars. I ended up meeting people
who work for my airline as Flight Attendants, all guys gay and they just so adopted me and we met up several times.
They also invited me to their dinner table and so I did that on the last 3 nights of the cruise. It truly made my time great

Rachel,

Sounds like you had a truly wonderful time and meeting up with others from the LGBT community, well, icing on the cake springs to mind.

Now St Marteen, did you do the airport takeoff thing? For those who don't know what I'm talking about see here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqVjD3nBSQg)

Yes I did do the Maho Beach experience it was a bucket list item of mine. I’m such an airplane nerd

Definitely not something to do wearing a wig!

Rachel,
What a great bonus , from your comments flying has to become easier , while on that subject did you come across any TG flight attendants ?

I've never cruised that part of the World , the one that ticked all the boxes for me was the one that took in Turkey , Egypt and Jordan .

[Beverley Sims]

Great pictures from a great cruise.

[Kandi Robbins]

Very nice and I am thrilled that you were able to get away, be yourself, relax and enjoy yourself! No one deserves it more!!
