Olivia Cruisers? Carribean Sun Cruise October 30th

SuperFemme · 09-06-2010, 12:52 PM

after being made aware of Olivia Cruise Lines policy regarding transgender vacationers, i have to say that i must boycott them on principal.

when you call a gay cruise line to make a reservation and are advised that your masculine appearing partner would probably be better served by booking a cruise on a mainstream cruise line? it is apparent that they are not inclusive.

so no.

Not to be slandering or disrespectful to the other site. But like SuperFemme. I prefer not to support a company that discrimanates. About 8 years ago. A bunch of us from Hawaii wanted to jump ship and party. Well, as we talked on the phone, they were extremly accomidating. But when we showed up at the dock. The ticket woman said that this was a lesbian cruise. I said, well. I am a Butch woman and I paid for my ticket. She went on to explain that because there were more butch wemon and not enough woman-woman, it would be best if we booked for another cruise at a later time. One of our MTF said to this lady, well I was born a man, you got a problem with that??? The woman gasped and said" that she would not let her or that is him" <~in her own words. Board this ship because as she had stated earlier it was a Lesbian cruise.
That was it, I will never book with them again. And I mean NEVER!

I have to admit, in the past I had always wanted to go on a cruise with a bunch of my friends. Now that I know the things I know, I can't support it any longer.

I completely understand that Olivia is a business and they are there to make money, hell we are all for that. But if it can't include the entire community with open arms then I will not support it.

And why was it that so many people didn't discuss this? What the hell were you all afraid of.. getting booted? Ha.. That was the least of my worries. I for one am not the type to sit by and watch my friends be told they can or can not do something.

I never said anything because I never wanted to even get to the dock in the first place. I seen the posting on the other site and quickly ~cringed~. We never got our money back, and I will never look back at them either. If it was brought up, I would have said my piece here, well now it has, so now I speak only the truth... I don't visit, so I couldn't post my thoughts there.
But now I put my hat down on the Planet, so now I speak, I love, I hug, and I warn...

Well quite frankly and as you are well aware my Daddy was/is ummmm active in the thread on the other site. So really I felt no need to particepate when Hy was already doing such a wonderful job.

All I can say is that this is appalling they should be ashamed

I have kept quite about this topic on the other site but I have to agree with the others posting here, it would be a big heck no. My Daddy is very masculine presenting, not because Hy tries to be but because it is simply who Hy is and Hy is perfect just as Hy is. W/we most certianly would not put our hard earned dollars into a company that would suggest we look 'elsewhere' or that states trans or masculine presenting individuals are 'welcome' but really 'they are more of a womens only, lesbian space'.

So I must reiterate, Heck no.
