My first trip with Olivia I wasn't nervous but I didn't try to speak to anyone unless they spoke to me thus my tip is to be open, speak to everyone, don't be afraid no one will be rude. &lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Anniversary Cruise #2</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192117.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:17:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192117</guid><dc:creator>bbbastian</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192117.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192117</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome Denise,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drop your worries!&amp;nbsp; We have loved every single minute of our trips with Olivia.&amp;nbsp; First, like yourself, there are lovely women all around.&amp;nbsp; I happen to be married but we always enjoy sharing our fun&amp;nbsp;with the women&amp;nbsp;around us.&amp;nbsp; You can feel the walls start to fall as everyone figures out they are in such a safe place that they can truly be who they are, right now.&amp;nbsp; It is actually pretty amazing to feel this happening.&amp;nbsp; One gets the sense that they are surrounded by friends they just don't know yet.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Truly, I cannot image going on a straight cruise again ever, even with all the bargains out there.&amp;nbsp; Number one:&amp;nbsp; NO KIDS.&amp;nbsp; I love kids but I don't want to vacation with them.&amp;nbsp; This is a huge boon to the entire atmosphere of life on board.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And this particular cruise is&amp;nbsp;going to be extra special due to the incredible musicians we will enjoy.&amp;nbsp; Olivia&amp;nbsp;has moved more towards comedy in the past few years and I for one enjoy the musical entertainment more and have missed&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;"old days" where the&amp;nbsp;cruises and resorts had more musical entertainment.&amp;nbsp; For me, this is going to be truly extraordinary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you will settle in and enjoy the anticipation of this great trip.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And the anticipation is Free of Charge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See you in February!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best, Barb&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Anniversary Cruise #2</title><link>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192113.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2012 13:18:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">2a00cdb7-9c37-4fce-9fab-0b523f4ffc3b:192113</guid><dc:creator>meJane</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/thread/192113.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.olivia.com/Connect/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=165831&amp;PostID=192113</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Denise,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If it makes you feel any better....I'm in the same boat (pun intended).&amp;nbsp; My first cruise, an Olivia virgin, traveling solo and single.&amp;nbsp; I figure the nerves will be gone soon after boarding :)&amp;nbsp; but then again, I love the first seat on the rollercoaster too!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I have procrastinated on securing my cabin for this cruise as I will be traveling not only solo, but single.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Little bit nervous, actually lotta bit nervous,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any thoughts, Ideas, Helpful Hints?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In advance, thanks, &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Denise&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
