Right now, the app has a Community section where users can ask a myriad of questions about the app and the cruises available for booking. They can also use the Community section to find people who are booked on the same cruise as them, or even find people to share a cabin with. Soon the app will be updated to provide users with the ability to chat with each other and a cabin-sharing feature will be added, explains Adam Martindale, owner of Meetmeonboard, during an interview with Travel Pulse‘s Paul Heney.

The Resource section of the app provides users information about the cruise lines, especially how inclusive they are so travelers can make informed decisions about their trips.

“We are nearing 1,000 registered users, with over 500 cruises joined. We are early in the process of getting the word out, but we believe the app will grow organically by word of mouth as more and more LGBTQ travelers discover it,” Martindale says.

The goal of Meetmeonboard is for LGBTQ+ cruisers to have a space to develop a community where they can find travel companions, make new friends, and even plan events, meet-ups, or trips together.
