Hello Indie:

I've been reading your posts and they sure are informative!

Oh Boy!!  We cannot wait for our cruise.  My partner (Denise) and I have cruised before but this is our first Gay cruise with Olivia.  We are celebrating our 15 year anniversary this year and this is our anniversary present.  It will be so nice to be on a cruise ship with nothing but other lesbians.  It's like our dream come true. 

We're looking forward to meeting a lot of new people and having loads of fun.  We're definitely going to have fun at the sail away party and exchanging fun gifts.  

We live in an area of Florida (Umatilla) where there is not a lot of gay social life so you can understand why we're REALLY looking forward to this cruise.  I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.

Hoping to see you at the sail away party....We can't wait...

Welcome to all the new gals that are logging onto this site!!!  Hello to all the glas that have been here since the beginning and such!!! 

Whoo hoo, time is a ticking away, can you feel the itch coming on?  Vacation time is just around the corner, can hardly wait!!

Will soon get to meet in person all of you gals either at the pre-party or/and on board for my meet and greet on the LIDO deck by the pool and bar, with your cool gifts to exchange.

Have a great rest of the week!!!!

Deb and Carolyn,

We were also on the same cruise last year.  We cannot wait to get back on an Olivia cruise this year.  We are going on the same one in November over the Thanksgiving holiday.  We also have convinced one other person from the Mexican cruise to also come on this one, so we look forward to the reunion with them as well.

Cheers,

Amy & Rachel

WHEN WE WENT TO MEXICO LAST YEAR KIKO WAS AROUND AND WE SKIPPED THE FIRST PORT TO MISS THE  WEATHER. IT MESSED WITH OUR EXCURSIONS SOME BUT IF YOU BOOKED WITH HOLLAND AMERICA IT WASN'T A PROBLEM.  WE STOPPED AT THE FIRST PORT ON THE WAY HOME. THEY KEPT US UPDATED EVERYDAY ON KIKO. IT WAS A LITTLE ROCKY ON THE SHIP AT TIMES. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND ARE READY TO TRAVEL AGAIN. WISH IT WAS NOVEMBER.

DEB AND CAROLYN

Yep...I think the worst that could happen is that our itnerary changes a little.  See you on board!

Thanks so much for a quick reply .  I gather the Captain also keeps an eye on the patterns and can steer away from them.   Might even b e safer than being on land.

 

Thanks again.

I haven't cruised in November but I grew up in South Louisiana and lived most of my life there (including 2005 when Katrina hit - yikes!).  Hurricanes are very rare in November...I can only remember one - Hurricane Juan in 1982.  And acutally I think it formed in the Gulf of Mexico, not in the Atlantic...could be wrong about that though.  In 2005 there were a couple of storms that formed in the Atlantic that didn't threaten land.  Anyway, I wouldn't worry about hurricanes.  I'm on this cruise too....should be a good one!

Hi

I've never been to the Caribean and I just went on line to see when Hurricane season is.   It says it goes to November..  Wondering if anyone has been on a cruise in this area in November?

For anybody looking for a reasonable priced hotel, my partner and I found the Red Carpet Inn on State Road to stay at. Under $100. Shuttle Service to and from airport and Port Everglades is available also.  Terry and Margie from Irving,Tx.

LOl, so glad to get some feed back from you gals!  Yes almost went to see mama Mia again this weekend, but other fun stuff happened, maybe another weekend.  This is one that I will add to my dvd collection.  Would have to agree with it being fun and campy, and gads, why did ol Pierce not have it dubbed, yet it still was an upper movie. 

I just got done watching, again, love this movie, "Pay it Forward".  Just love the concept of this movie, and it really does work.  Have had many oppertunities in my life to help others, and the means to make it happen and the luck to see the good passed on.  It is one of my all time favs., a good motto to incorporate into a way of life furthering random acts of kindness to all that come and go in our lives!!

Ok, hope everyone had a great weekend, and looking forward to reading some more postings on movies, fun in the sun, or whatever else is positive and upbeat.

See ya soon!

Hi Cindy....I couldn't agree with you more about Mamma Mia....a fun, entertaining movie....and Pierce Brosnan's singing....when he first started to sing....I was shocked at his lack of ability to carry a tune....I've seen it twice too...may even see it again, who knows.

The place in Arizona will be a live-in community...where you buy condos....here is the website....check it out.

It'll be great to see you again....

I have seen Mama Mia twice.  It is not an Oscar caliber movie, just extremely fun and entertaining.  The only down side is Pierce Brosnan's singing--or rather, lack of it.  Surely, they could have found a middle aged male actor who could sing better.  Barring that, they should have lipped sinc'ed him.  That aside, it is very fun and campy.  I highly recommend it.

We are chomping at the bit to get on the cruise.  We always have a good time.  While we are disappointed at the confusion about entertainment, we know we will have a great time regardless of who the headliners are.  What is this stuff about a place in Arizona? Is this a live-in community or a vacation time share type of place?
