R FAMILY CRUISES If you've got the winter blues, or simply wish for a mid-winter break to reinvigorate you weary soul, there is a natural desire to remember what the warm sun feels like on our skin, our children's laughter while sliding down a waterslide, and the feel of a warm ocean breeze while sitting on your private balcony at sunset with your partner. In February 2007, R Family is offering their first winter cruise to the Eastern Caribbean.

R Family Criuses founded by Gregg Kaminsky and Kelli O'Donnell, the current Mrs. Rosie O'Donnell, combined their talents to breathe life into R Family Cruise Lines.
Gregg has worked in the gay and lesbian travel industry for the past seven years developing and producing all-gay vacations for Atlantis Events in the Caribbean, Mexico, Australia, Europe and Africa. Kelli is a former Nickelodeon marketing executive. She was responsible for developing promotions and marketing materials targeting children of all ages. She and her partner have four young children.
RSVP ON THE QUEEN MARY 2 Now is your chance to be pampered Well, now's your chance to be pampered for 6 glorious days aboard the most luxurious ocean liner-Queen Mary 2. Step on deck and enter a fairy tale world filled with dazzling views, unparalleled cuisine and magnificent accommodations. And, as you cross the Atlantic partaking in everything the Queen has to offer, you'll also be making history as part of the first all-gay Transatlantic cruise.

Evenings bring out the best in Queen Mary 2. Beaded gowns. Black ties. Champagne and caviar. Queen Mary 2 plays host to the most elegant soirees of the season. But even when in a casual mood, nighttime glitters with activity. Guests can drift from salons to the theater to the ballroom, hopping from one fabulous affair to another.
Whether it's lounging by the pool, taking a class or browsing the bookstore, there's something for everyone aboard Queen Mary 2. The only questions are: what to do first and how to fit it all in.
