WOO HOO!!!!  WE ARE GOING!!!!

This is soooo great... really didn't think we were going to do it... but my honey decided she couldn't get enough!!  This will be our 2nd O cruise together, and my 4th!!  I can't get any more pumped! 

I am really hoping to see some of our Mexican Riviera buddies come along!! (you will remember us as the "Bomchickawawa" newlywed couple)  We will show these lovely ladies how to party it up OLIVIA STYLE!!!

I can't wait to get to those beautiful clear blue waters again.  We go out to the beach everyday, and say... umm it is just not like this yucky green/brown in the Caribbean waters!  (Don't get me wrong... we love living at the beach...but we adore snorkel-ability!! And you just can't really snorkel here...yuck)

Alright... we are looking forward to meeting all of you already on here!!! 

Hello! My wife & I also just got off the Cruise for Our Cause a few weeks ago and booked this one onboard. We can't wait. We wanted to do an Alaska cruise, but they said that there will not be another one until 2010, so we booked this one instead. This will be our 3rd Olivia Cruise and we are addicted!

Judi-n-Deb: I noticed that you said you are from north central Flordia. Orlando? Am I close? We are from Panama City, so I thought I'd ask. We have also been together for 11 years.

Looking forward to talking with you guys until the cruise. . .

Yipeee!!!  We just booked our cabin for the FUNraiser Caribbean Cruise (March '09).  Wow, I soooo cannot wait.  Isn't it cool that we get to be in Puerto Rico until 11 pm???

We also just got off the "Cruise for our Cause" caribbean cruise one week ago. Our experience was so amazing - we couldn't wait to book another one.  So this will be our second cruise.

Deb and I are from north central Florida, we have been together for 11 years - and married for 10.We have decided that we are going to take an Olivia cruise (or fling or something) each March (our anniversary month) for the rest of our lives.  We LOVED the "Feeling Free" environment.

Naveluvr, make sure you get to work on your passport soon - it takes a while to get it!!  So glad to hear that you are doing something for YOU.  Deb & I have come to realize just how important that is... and it makes a world of difference.  Since we had our first cruise just a week ago - I can tell you that it is unbelivably fun.  There is always something to do - and something to see.  Making friends is easy too... oh, and there is also ALWAYS something to eat.  Whoa! the food!  To me, cruising with Olivia is the perfect vacation - because getting there is part of the fun.  Really, Deb and I (Judi) could have stayed on the ship for 7 days without going to any ports and still would have had the time of our lives.  However, seeing the Cayman Islands, Grand Turk, Cozumel Mexico, and Half Moon Cay was also totally fantastic.  That was --by far-- the best vacation we've ever had!!!!

Welcome - glad you booked!!        Judi -n- Deb

Wow!  I'm the only one here so I'll create a topic and hopefully others will post.  I am going on this cruise and I am soo excited.  This will be my first cruise ever and what a way to celebrate a coming out experience.  It's a reward I'm giving myself.  It would be really cool to know who else is going and to know a little about ya.  Have you ever been on an Olivia cruise before? 

I was going to go on the 35th Birthday Bash until I found out that this one is going to Puerto Rico.  I've never left the mainland so this is really something big for me.  I'm going to be working out and getting into swimsuit shape and do some research on the places we are going.  What are you doing to prepare for the cruise? 

I feel like I'm stealing paradise... I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I'm doing something for me for a change!
