Well said Jana....I absolutely agree with you!  Thanks for saying it so well!    So I copy your words and use them as my own.....
"Olivia…from the bottom…from the middle…from the top of my heart…THANK YOU!!!".....and thank you again Jana for voicing what I'm thinking.

Kudos to Olivia…the paid staff…the volunteer staff…all the people behind the scene who worked their butts off day and night…and to Judy and all the entertainers!!!
If it weren’t for Judy and those who started Olivia…or as the saying goes…If It Weren't for the Music…not one of you would have this special place…whether it is to complain or complement…to feel safe or to find love…

Yes…a person…a company…a corporation…can learn from past mistakes and grow from there…but they can also be a shining light from all the good they do…and from where I sit…Olivia's scales are tipped in a good way and she is shining bright!!!!!

I've had a few bumps in the road with Olivia…but I let them know…and we try and figure out something that works…sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't...but that doesn't change the great times/vacations I have...or the over and above travel we all get with Olivia!

But…if someone has a way to make 2100 lesbians on a boat feel that everything is perfect…I will personally have Vickie Shaw call you so she can tell you personally "I saw God!"

I am not one of those…as you say…an "Oliviapologist"…I'm more of a Olivia-vivacious person…and loving it!!! (I came up with Oliviacation many years back…and I'll come up with one for that word too )

Olivia…from the bottom…from the middle…from the top of my heart…THANK YOU!!!

Foot note on evergreen,

Olivia does welcome comments neg or pos on this site but posting them on this site doesn't necessarily mean that they will be scene by Olivia.

This is a site for us women to get to know one another and "Connect" with each other. Olivia has posted and made comets on some of the threads as info, introduction and such, but that doesn't mean they are reading every single topic or reply that we make.

Olivia moderates this site but it's for are personal use. If you want to make your complaints, concerns or praise to be heard  by Olivia you need to contact Olivia directly..

The reason for the schedule was well explained by Olivia. They obviously had a contract with the star entertainer that said she could not perform at sea. Good explanation, so why keep complaining....unless you would like O to cancel the concert!

Agree with your comments about being able to post neg or pos comments on here and that Olivia welcomes it and learns from it. They are very good at that........ 

Amen, poetcomic. Judy has been in this business for 40 years. I would hope that she would encourage those that are unhappy to speak up. What I’ve been told is Judy welcomes comments & suggestions. There is strength in numbers, however sometimes just one person can be that voice for change. I love Olivia, I just feel there is a another way without having to give up a port, excursion or Meg/Chris. 

Oh for goodness sake stop complaining.try to imagine the logistics of scheduling all of those entertainers in 7 days! Olivia does a wonderful job. Kudos to them. They have never let us down.

just cool it, it's a vacation! 

Loving message to tink51.  WE have 7 sunsets and 7 sunrises to enjoy. Not to mention that full moon on January 27th! Next to the performances, they are second on my list of to do. Please enjoy them with (hopefully) someone you love. 

I remember about 10 years ago when the president of the company where I worked 44 years said to me. "I run this company." I had taken steps beyond what I should have for a long time actually. He was doing the best he could with what he had to work with. I had forgotten about that day until now.

Wishing everyone a safe trip to Our Olivia 40th.

Just thought of something else too, we'd like to suggest at the very least move formal night to a night at sea. With the concert and formal night together on that night it just about completely eliminates that port.
