In an article published on Friday, January 14, 2022, The New York Times asked, "Can a Gay Cruise Keep 4,700 People Safe Amid Covid?" referencing the Atlantis Events 30th-anniversary cruise on Royal Caribbean, which departed January 16, 2022. While VACAYA wasn't mentioned by name, the LGBTQ+ tour operator responded quickly, having just completed its own Caribbean itinerary. The company released a detailed and transparent statement, claiming, "Yes, with careful execution of recommended protocols, the LGBT+ community can safely navigate these incredibly challenging times." The venerated Times, whose article quoted several people not even traveling on either cruise, did not live up to the journalistic integrity we expect and was an affront to Atlantis Events, LGBT+ travel companies in general, and the gay community," stated VACAYA co-founder and CEO Randle Roper. "This certainly wasn't news 'Fit to Print.' As we begin to come out of the pandemic, it's OK to ask questions about how, why, and when we'll return to normal, but The Times completely missed the story here."
