We are getting very excited about this cruise! We were on the western Mexico cruise in April 2011 and had a marvelous time. We loved the Hydo pool and Thermal Suite package and plan to do that again. I have seen several posts from women in NC, and we are also. We live in Sylva which is about an hour west of Asheville in the beautiful Smoky Mountains. We are flying from Charlotte, doing a park and fly at the Quality Inn near the airport on Feb. 1. Anyone nearby and want to meet for dinner or somethng? We are flying to FTL on the 2nd.

This is my 3rd and my wife's 4th Olivia cruise.  Try it once and you are hooked.  We try for 1 a year.  We have had the most fabulous times with Olivia.  They are just incredible - taking care of everything.  You'll be having so much fun you won't worry about all the little details - mostly about what great thing to do next.  My advice - party hearty but make sure you stay hydrated and leave some time for rest and rejuvenation. Try everything once. Meet all the women and make friends with a bunch. Take lots of pictures.  Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!  Love that there are so many women from countries other than USA.  Hope to meet you all there. Can't believe it is almost here! Ready to jump in the delightful Caribbean ocean already.  And what an opportunity to meet and play with the women who have kept us laughing, loving, singing, growing and moving forward for all these years!  And I am thanking Judy D in advance for what I know will be the most incredible trip.  THANK YOU!  Seja and Setoria

Lobie,

Welcome newbie. My wife and I are both in Afghanistan and will be flying out for this cruise as well. It would be great to get together on or before the cruise.

Hey all!  This is my first Olivia vacation and I'm stoked!  I'll be heading in from Afghanistan for some much needed rest, craziness and relaxation. I am going solo but was invited by my awesome friends Mel and Dawn (thanks, ladies!).  Can't wait to meet some great gals and have tons of fun!

Hi Sled et al,

I WAS BOOKED FOR THE sCANDINAVIAN Cruise but could not make it for medical reasons and work issues.  It was my first booking and they gave me a credit note so I chose to book the Anniversary Cruise Week 2.  I am amped about seeing Mimi Gonzalez again.  I saw her at the London Lesbian Film Festival.  I have also never seen Chris or Tret live.  I am glad to hear that the Scandinavian Cruise went well.  I have never been on a cruise.  I am coming to FL on the 2nd and hope to meet some of you at the Meet and Greet.  Are there any other Canadians coming aboard?  I have Dutch heritage so both Curacoa and Aruba wil charm me.
