Merging the best of lesbian travel with social and environmental awareness, Sweet aims to make the world a better place while having a blast in it.
The best lesbian cruise ever will depart from New Orleans where we will pitch in with the post-Katrina relief effort by day and party on Bourbon Street by night. From New Orleans, we sail to gorgeous Costa Maya, Mexico, fabulous Belize City, Belize, scuba and snorkeling wonderland Roatan, Honduras, and stunning Cozumel, Mexico.
Yes, this is definitely the awesomest thing Autostraddle has ever offered its readers since that time we auctioned off Tina Kennard’s dress and a signed photograph of Tinkerbell.
Comedians Suzanne Westenhoefer, Erin Foley, Gloria Bigelow, Sandra Valls, Amy Tee and Kate McKinnon will have you laughing all week long. On deck they’ll be hosting off-the-hook “tea dances,” (although we honestly couldn’t tell you wtf a tea dance is, it probs is like the Magic Tea Cups ride at Disney) theme parties and events, where you’ll party alongside special guests from AfterEllen: Nat & Meg, the cast of CherryBomb, Cathy DeBuono and Jill Bennett. Sweet’s bringing along lesbionic lady-singers Adrianne, Melange LaVonne, Natalia Zukerman, Edie Carey and Jen Foster for your musical entertainment.
With four of the hottest DJs, parties by the legendary Club Skirts (makers of The Dinah Shore Weekend) and fantastic theme parties, as well as business networking opportunities, volunteer projects available at every port, and classes with celebrity fitness guru Shawnee Harkins, it’s going to be an amazing week with something for everyone.
Oh yeah — and Autostraddle is gonna be there too! Riese, A;ex, Brooke, Tinkerbell and Natalie will be drunk in the hot tub!
It includes all of your accommodations, basic meals, port taxes, gratuities and fuel surcharges for our 7-night cruise. It does not include round trip transportation to New Orleans, lodging before or after the cruise, transportation to or from the port, specialty meals, alcohol or specialty beverages, spa treatments, shore excursions or other on-board expenditures.

Ready? You Gotta Be in it to Win it! Go!
1. Dinah Shore founder Mariah Hanson is on my board, and both of Sweet’s founding partners are big supporters of my LGBT activism. What non-profit am I?
2. I can’t wait to perform my stand-up comedy on the Sweet cruise! I won’t be drinking though, because, like I told Autostraddle during my Autostraddle Interview & Photoshoot, this one time on a cruise I had three gin & tonics, licked a pole, and got a stomach virus! Who am I?
3. According to Autostraddle’s definition of “alternative lifestyle haircut,” name at least three people from the “entertainers” page on the Sweet website who seem to be sporting one.
4. You dashing Sweet cruisers will be visiting me and my sexy Mayan ruins, as well as all my fierce animals of power and passion such as the jaguar & puma, on Wednesday. What Central American city am I?
5. At the 2009 Logo NewNowNext Awards, I told Alex & Riese my favorite part of the Awards was the possibility of a “buffet and an open bar” — which’s perhaps where you’ll find me after my Sweet cruise performance. Who am I?
6. The Sweet Cruise offers community service excursions at many of its ports. Which two excursions are available in Costa Maya?
7. I embody the term ‘Celesbian.’ I will be on the cruise. You can also find me in the Autostraddle Hot 100, at number 15. Who am I?
8. On July 31st, Autostraddle declared Tila Tequila’s ex-girlfriend Courtney Semel getting her own show as “a sign of the apocalypse.” I also had a shot at love with Tila, but she picked the other person, whatevs see you on the cruise in your bikinis bitches! Who am I?
9. Sweet is really serious about being Eco-Friendly. What was the title of Laneia’s Autostraddle post on Earth Day?
And hey — if you don’t win but still want to go, there are still open cabins on the boat. Sweet even offers a special payment plan where for as low as $36 a month you can pay off your vaycay month-by-month. That’s significantly less than Riese’s credit card finance charges, and she doesn’t get anything for paying those besides avoiding Debtors Prison! So come party/read books with us!
So we’ll see you at the buffet and open bar!
