RABAT (Reuters) - Organizers of an all-gay cruise on Saturday blamed Moroccan officials for the cancellation of what would have been the first visit of its kind to a Muslim country, but the tourism minister denied the ship was banned and said its passengers were welcome.
Cruise liner Holland America Line and trip organizer RSVP Vacations told the 2,100 holiday-makers aboard the MS Nieuw Amsterdam ship that the July 1 visit to Casablanca had been cancelled.
"Our port agent in Casablanca has advised us that authorities in Morocco have -- despite previous confirmations -- now denied our scheduled visit," the two companies said in a letter tweeted to news organizations by passengers of the ship.
"For all of us, this is a very disappointing development," they added. "It was ultimately the decision by local authorities in Morocco that has necessitated us to adjust our plans."

The muzzies have enough problems as it is. I don’t think they want to open that can ‘o worms right now. The sexual deviants will have to wait.

When going to a country where the term “flaming gay”is due to a gas filled tire and running victim what can they expect. Like the welcome nambla would get from the PTA convention. It should cruise down to the Syrian coast and both sides would stop killing each other for a shot at this boat load.
