My First Olivia Cruise

Thursday November 5, 2009

I just returned from an amazing vacation. For years I'd know about Olivia and their lesbian vacation company, but this is the first time I actually got to go on an Olivia cruise.

There is nothing like traveling with other lesbians. Everyone was so friendly and open. I met many women who have never felt like they could be as open and free as they were on the Olivia Cruise. But no matter if you are out or closeted in your life, young or old, active or sedentary, Olivia has something for you.

I am still laughing inside from some of the jokes the comedians told, remembering fondly the warm Caribbean ocean and wishing I still had access to the amazing food available onboard. Learn more about Olivia lesbian vacations.

Hey Kathy!

I was on the Olivia Cruise too! Your photo brings back fun memories of a trip that went by way too fast. [Actually, you might remember me...I was the one who held the door for you this day on the way out to the Sea-View pool!] The Olivia experience overall was exceptional. My girlfriend and I enjoyed ourselves so much, met fabulous people, and loved the relaxed atmosphere. I was particularly inspired by the number of older lesbian couples that have been together for 20, 30 and 40+ years. Thank you to all of them who have paved the way for our generation today. Looking forward to the next Olivia trip and we hope to see you there!
