Yes - competition is a good thing for us as consumers – but here are some things that Discover Sweet is doing/saying:

 

Q: What is your relationship with Olivia?

A: Beyond being great admirers of what they’ve accomplished over the past 35 years, Sweet has no relationship with Olivia.

 

The truth is that it goes way beyond being “great admirers of Olivia” the fact is - the relationship is that of an ex - most were employed in the past by Olivia and they were trained by the best – JudyD and Olivia!!!

 

Next they will be trying to do what Rosie’s R Family is doing:

“We are greatly interested in offering family vacations in the future. For our inaugural cruise in November 2009 guests must be 21 years of age or older. Eventually we hope to welcome your whole family.”

 

A good friend of mine who checked out Sweet said to me:  “I’d rather be an “Olivia solo” than a “single sweetie”  Because “solo” is more empowering and “sweetie” is like some guy’s pick-up line!”

 

I for one don’t need to “Discover” lesbian travel – as I have already found what is “Sweet” and that is traveling with OLIVIA!!!  Travel with the BEST! - all the rest are just - Sweet Imitations!!!

AnnM, If you go to the Bio section of their site you will find that they are mostly ex Olivia employees. The Erret woman is not mentioned on there.

Not crazy over their advertising. Seems somewhat juvenile to me!

I agree with your comments about Olivia having great vacations. We've had 8 terrific trips with them & have 3 more booked. We plan to support them as long as they are around. They are a class act.

Does anyone know about Discover Sweet?  Who are these people?  Is this Amy's group?  I saw the commercial on Logo and looked at there site.  Looks like they are copying Olivia.  Not that compantition is good is good but I have had some great cruises on Olivia and don't want there to be a dualing trip between the Womyn.  I was just wondering if someone knows anything about who these people are.  Olivia has supported our organization in Chicago and we have had great vacations on Olivia and I was wonder who the h*ll thes people are?  Ever time we get on the ship we see Judy.  We know who she is and I want to know whois behind Discover Sweet.
