Celebrating Lucky 13 on March 12th! 

We met at a bar.  Can you imagine?  Actually, Denni was on a date with someone else...and I was at the bar by myself because I had just moved to San Francisco and didn't know anyone!  So Denni happens to come near me and I offer to buy her a beer, she declines because "her group" is leaving. 

But about 20 minutes later, she comes running up to me with her business card and says to call her.  Later I find out that she "faked a page" to her date so she could run back and see me.  Smart woman ;^).

I love hearing stories on how couples met.  Deb and I kinda-sorta met at her work.  She was my son's 2nd grade teacher and I was the PTA VP.  SCANDAL!  But 14 years later we are still "in love" and our son is graduating from college.  See you all soon!

My spouse (Carolyn) and I (Rose) have been together almost 19 years (married for 3 in Canada).  This is our 8th Olivia trip and we are looking forward to just relaxing as Carolyn's mom passed away unexpectedly between Christmas and New Years.  On this cruise, you will most likely be able to find us in the gym, hydro-pool, sauna or SCUBA diving.  Our last Olivia vacation was India.

Wow, based on some of your responses, I feel as if Judy and I are amateurs at this... we have been married for 7 years and together for 10.  I moved to Holland 10 years ago to be with her and it was the best move ever!  We have a solid relationship and have lots of fun together, while giving eachother enough space to maintain our individuality!  I am the party, stay up late musician and she is the quite go to bed early athlete...TOTAL YING-YANG

Wow, based on the other replies we seem like newlyweds!  We've been together for 12 years and met at work.  Misty used to give me a hard time at work, but turns out she just had the hots for me!  We've been happy in love ever since....

Hello everyone!

My wife, Debbie, and I have been together for 33 amazing years. We are from Nova Scotia, Canada. This is our third Olivia cruise. And all the comments on here are so right...there is no other way to travel. It is the most wonderful experience. It really would be nice to meet all the women who have been together for a long time. The suggestion to meet on the Lido deck is a good. Actually, you have access to that deck before the life boat drill. We're on the boat for a while as they ready our rooms and bring on the luggage.  So we are left to our own devices for a couple of hours. They actually send you up to that deck when you board. If you like, we could meet up there before the drill.  There aren't many people there at first, which would make it easier to find one another!  We're open to whatever works for everyone. We are also laid-back people who enjoy the company of each other as well as others!  Looking forward to meeting you all! 

Barb and Debbie

OK, I started this thread with limited expectations--and now I'm so excited!  You all sound wonderful and I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!  See you on the libido deck!

Hi Pam and Andi,

Judy and I have been together 25 years in June.  We are also celebrating because we tied the knot in Canada in October last year.  This is our fourth Olivia Cruise... Get ready for the best vacation you've ever had.  We're from Long Island, New York.  We'd love to meet you both and other long term couples....Diane

We are all supposed to wear something patriotic to identify ourselves as "threaders"
