paddy Anne Posted February 16, 2007 #126 Share Posted February 16, 2007 BlonyX- Yah 320 is a long wait. But I am checking hotels one night pre-cruise and then all the excursions (Belise, Costa Rica, Panema). Then post cruise sending the kids home and staying a couple of days in Key West. So have to plan that. It will get me through the winter. Summer flies by and then we start counting again.... If I could cruise tomorrow I could. p.s. Pride is the weekend before the July 1 weekend. Hope you make it! cheers, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KL&KR Posted February 16, 2007 #127 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Etoile--Just received an Olivia 2 for 1 offer for their Caribbean trip (with Melissa Etheridge) by e-mail. We don't fly, so I'm going to call and ask them if they'll honor it for their RT Mexican Riviera out of LA (or SD or wherever) in the fall. Wish me luck!

mithryl Posted February 17, 2007 Author #128 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Good Luck Kristen! Let us know what Olivia has to say. I got the same 2 for 1 offer, but we have a committment that week that we need to keep (and it's only a few weeks after we get back from Hawaii.

rerepunim Posted February 17, 2007 #129 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hola, We love to cruise, and usually travel with others, gay and straight. We try to book every 2 years. We've done Disney (without kids), NCL and are booked for our 3rd Princess cruise (Panama Canal) March 2008. We have been to Alaska and Hawaii on IP. I also think that Olivia is expensive, even though I understand why (I think). I would consider a Rosie cruise if the kids in my family wanted to go. We have found Princess and Disney very gay friendly, as far as the crew are concerned. We've had no bad experiences with fellow passengers or entertainment either. For Panama Canal we have booked 4 of us, my wife (we're from MA) and I and her sister and a friend . We're getting a suite (first time) and an inside cabin. Anyone want to join us ?

mithryl Posted February 18, 2007 Author #130 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Rerepunim, Panama Canal is one of the cruises we're considering for next year. Which ship and date have you booked? If we decide to go on the same cruise, we'll definitely let you know. We want to wait until we complete our upcoming cruise (8 days from now!) before we decide. We need to evaluate how many sea days we'll want in the future as well as whether we will sail again with Princess or go back to RCCL or Holland. Thanks for joining us!

rerepunim Posted February 18, 2007 #131 Share Posted February 18, 2007 We are booked for March 7 2008 on the Island Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etoile Posted February 20, 2007 #132 Share Posted February 20, 2007 For the folks heading for Las Vegas, If you felt like dancing a beat with other ladies of a similar persuation, you might want to check out Girl Bar at Krave on the strip (in front of Aladdin Hotel I think). It's women's night every saturday at Krave and is run by the LA promoters of the same name. We usually go to LV Sun-Thurs so I've never had the opportunity to go, but I suspect it's similar to their long-standing LA club. Happy gambling! Unfortunately we were tired on Saturday so we didn't make it, and we are leaving again next Saturday afternoon. If we hadn't had our first flight canceled we could have done it! Thanks for the tip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithryl Posted February 20, 2007 Author #133 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Rerepunim, We'll be on the IP in just six days from now! Even though it's going to Hawaii versus the Panama Canal, I'll be able to give you some information about the ship itself. Anything you'd like to know about the ship? I'll have internet access during our 15 days, so I can answer any questions you might have. I'll be doing a live post during the cruise under the "Roll Call" board, but I'll also be checking this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverwolfe2003 Posted February 26, 2007 #137 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hi! What a great thread! My partner and I (I'm 33, she is 35) are going on our very first cruise next week with our 13 year old son and the mom-in-law. We are traveling on the Carnival Glory, leaving March 3rd. Are there any other lesbians with kids going on this cruise? I would really love to meet other couples to hang out with :) Neither of us are drinkers and I know the Carnival line is supposedly the "Party Boat" cruise ship line....so I'm kind of worried about that...I plan to bring plenty of books to read...lol...Yup, I'm a boring girl :) Samantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithryl Posted February 26, 2007 Author #138 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Aloha Ladies! I've started a live post on the Roll Call Threads, but thought I'd check in her to say hi. We sailed out yesterday on time. Seas are a bit rough (had 11 to 18 foot waves last night), but the Bonine is working and we're enjoying ourselves. We've seen a few other women together so far in passing, but haven't met anyone yet..but it's early, only our 1st full day out of 15! Welcome Silverwolfe2003! Hope you find some fellow cruises for your journey. More later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hikrgrrl Posted February 27, 2007 #140 Share Posted February 27, 2007 This thread is a wonderful find! My partner and I are 35 and 29 and live in NC. We are going on our first cruise in 10 days! We picked the NCL Pearl because we have read great reviews about it and are very excited. Anyone on the March 11 sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlondyX Posted February 28, 2007 #145 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Great Pictures! Glad you had a good time after waiting so long to get there. We had fun too, didn't win enough to retire and spend the rest of my life cruising, but fun nonetheless. Now 44 day countdown continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helenqqq Posted March 1, 2007 #146 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi everyone!. My partner and I (40's) will be doing our first cruise on the pearl 4/13!. We have been together 17+ years and have only done sailing trips, so this ought to be a BIG difference. I have heard of the FOD so I will check that out. Matter of fact I looked at some "dailies" and it seems theres a FOD almost everyday. Anyone hit the Pearl up yet and if so, did you check out any of the FOD's?. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenqqq Posted March 1, 2007 #148 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi Helen! Rats, you are going to be on the Pearl exactly one month ahead of me! Etoile, I'll let you know what we see!. When I first booked i booked a room w/ a porthole, then a window, then a balcony now I am in a mini. My bride stopped me there, so as we would have some money left to party with! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bride stopped me there, so as we would have some money left to party with! ;) I didn't even realize they had portholes on the Pearl! My wife is happy with anything except an inside - she wants the natural light - but we are in a mini-suite (11066) because we are sharing with my mother. I will be anxious to hear if the mini-suite is really enough room for three people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithryl Posted March 3, 2007 Author #150 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Hi All, The Island Princess is a beautiful ship. We're really having a great time. Not too many "Sisters" aboard, but fun anyway. Weather has been very kind to us. We just landed in Hilo today and had sunshine and warm weather all day. They told us it had rained here for the past two weeks. It's considered the wetest place on earth...but not today! Yeah! Tomorrow we do a helicopter tour of the Big Island...should be great fun. I'd do this cruise again in a heartbeat...in fact, I know I'll do it again, either with Princess or another cruiseline. Welcome to all our new Sisters! Keep on cruising. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
