Cruise

sftfemme65

I won a cruise for two on Olivia March 1st.  Im really concerned about looking normal in a swim suit.  I had a left sided mastectomy.  In a top I look fine with my prost. but it doesn't seem to look to natural in a swim suit.  I am having reconstruction and right side removed on March 30th which I can not wait to do.

Does anyone having  any suggestions?

Teresa, are you planning on swimming? I ask because some of the prosthesis can't get wet. There are some made just for swim suits - heavier than a puffy, lighter than a full prosthesis. YOu might want to post it in the Breast Prostheses and Reconstruction Alternatives section as I'm sure you'll get more info from folks who've BTDT...

Have fun on your cruise!!

Hey Dee,

I forgot to tell you about the cruise.  It was great.  1800 lesbians and the tropic, you couldn't go wrong.  If you ever get a chance, go on an Olivia vacation.  I will definitely be going again!

I want to take a cruise with     http://www.rfamilyvacations.com . I did a weekend land vacation with them a few years ago and I had the best time. They are so much fun.

Judy & I went on our first cruise with Olivia in 1996 to Alaska.Been on several since to the Caribbean, Greece & Turkey and a "land cruise".  We need to schedule another one at some point but most of our cruises lately have been "straight" with absolutely no issues at all.  It is our fav way to vacation. 

Living in Florida gives us an advantage since we do not have to fly to any of the ports.  Just got back from KeyWest & Cozumel on Royal Caribbean - it was our treat to us in between the end of chemo and her mastecomies (she gets discharged this afternoon).  Radiation is scheduled for about 4 weeks from now.

I went and looked at r vactions website.  Sounds like fun.  Personally, for me they wouldn't be an option.  I have 4 daughters, a beautiful granddaughter who's 2 and another one on the way....so I am not anti kid BUT I do not want to share a cruise ship with a bunch of little munchkins running around.  Olivia was so wonderful and the feeling aboard, with all lesbian was incredible.

I just love kids running around. I love being around families with kids (as long as they aren't crying on an airplane or somewhere else in close quarters).  Olivia does sound phenomenal!
