Well I know some who are gay, but I'm not comfortable around them. That is just personal preference, not gay-bashing.

I'm really happy after I take my meds; is that the same thing?

I'm glad the medicine helps you but, I don't think its quite the same. I think maybe at one time it had another meaning.

Unfortunately, all cruise lines charge you for 2 passengers, but you only pay the port charges once.

Just get a friend to sign up to go with you and both of you pay the full single price. Pay a little extra for cruise insurance. Get your friend to fake an illness just before the cruise. Their money gets refunded and you get a single cabin. (I know that will not work but it was fun formulating the theory)
