Latest blog entry - Greek Isles cruise on the Celebrity Reflection - September 2022
Be aware that some gay and lesbian charter cruises sell out very quickly. Today you’ll discover one of Sicily’s jewels, the charming village of Giardini Naxos, nestled in one of the world’s most beautiful bays. An optional excursion to the popular hillside town of Taormina will be a highlight of your voyage—from the stunning setting of the iconic Greek Theater to the sparkling beaches along the Ionian Sea.

Perhaps your choice will be a boat ride to Positano, the legendary home of the Sirens. Perched on a terrace on the spectacular Amalfi Coast, Sorrento offers exceptional views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Split welcomes you with open arms, Mediterranean style, and a bustling harbor lined with busy cafés. Beyond, looms stately Diocletian’s Palace a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the center of town. Don't miss the seafood market, located on Marmontova near the shoreline. Be sure to visit any of the city's pekara, or bakeries for some pastries and baked goods.

We bring a dedicated team of Olivians on every trip, whose number one goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for you. The final night's performers were the original Olivia artists, Meg Christian and Cris Williamson, who have been with the label since its very first release. Simple and easy to sing with ultimate feel-good lyrics, the song filled the room with a total second-wave lesbian sing-along love fest.
Maebh and I ordered cocktails from the bar and settled onto one of the beach beds to watch the ocean waves and the throngs of beautiful Dutch tourists surrounding us. If you only have a day in Curacao, this is a nice, easily accessible place to eat, drink and swim during the day, and party in the evening when the D.J.'s show up. We ate most meals from the Lido Deck buffet, as we found the Manhattan Dining Room to be unremarkable. The Pinnacle Grill, a steak and seafood restaurant, was our favorite of the three. We ordered Caprese salads, which were excellent, followed by mushroom ravioli, which was a little too heavy, but not bad.

Riverboats ►
End your day at the Buza Café (if you can find it) watching bold divers leap off the cliffs into the crystalline sea. The lovely fishing port of Rovinj on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula bordered on three sides by the Adriatic Sea. You can tour the maze of cobblestone streets that lead to the hilltop St. Euphemia Cathedral with its towering steeple dominating the skyline. Old Town Rovinj is a delightful tangle of medieval streets and twisting stairways. Seek out the Bronze Age ruins of Monkodonja, the hidden beaches or the breathtaking natural beauty of the 6-mile-long Lim Fjord. Cruise to Turks and Caicos and experience the sugar-white sand, brilliant blue waters, and the kaleidoscopic sea life that is plentiful in the Caribbean paradise.
We docked near a charming yet touristy restaurant sitting on a pier and ordered ahi ceviche, delicious if slightly overpriced, while our cabin boy kept delivering us unsolicited drinks from the boat. We ate and boarded, snuck in our last bit of complimentary alcohol and arrived back at port with several hours to explore the town of Oranjestad before we had to leave. Maebh had only ever been snorkeling off the coast of Ireland, so I felt she owed herself a day of Caribbean snorkeling. We and some of our fellow Olivians booked a ship-sponsored excursion with a tour group called Pelican for $59.95 per person.
Please come back to read about some of the highlights, good times and experiences our travelers are having onboard their Pied Piper LGBTQ group cruises. It’s time to relax, sip a glass of wine or sparkling water and catch up with friends. Get a massage at the spa, sunbathe at the pool, or just sit and enjoy gorgeous views of Adriatic. This is one of Montenegro’s most beautiful bays, and the approach offers one breathtaking fjord-like view after another.
What made the meal really memorable was the sunset over the ocean right outside our window, enhanced by generous wine flights (for which we paid extra). Yet, despite occasionally feeling out of place, we couldn't help also feeling inspired seeing what our generation owes to the women before us. It was sweet to feel that we were part of a continuum of women, of feminists, or lesbians or whatever else we choose to call ourselves.
This is your chance to get up close and personal with Alaska's stunning natural scenery, indigenous culture and the freshest seafood you can find.

You'll be sailing on Holland America's Eurodam, which has won numerous awards from Cruise Critic's editors over the years. More information will be available approximately 11 months prior to the trip. Optional tours will take you to the archaeological areas of Pompeii and Torre Annunziata, or the 4th century B.C.
We grabbed our food and relocated to the Captain on the Rocks Island Bar, where a five-piece Caribbean-esque band sang standard wedding-band fare while we downed rum punches. This trip is operated aboard Atlas Ocean Voyages' World Navigator.
If you’re longing for a quiet respite, head for the western end of town for an easy stroll through a verdant mountain park. Phone Each cabin has a phone which you may use to call cabin-to-cabin, and to the various onboard facilities. There is an additional fee to use this phone to call outside of the ship; cost is available on board. We recommend using WhatsApp or FaceTime to make phone calls via wifi. Wind Surf underwent a significant renovation of public spaces and suites, including an expanded lounge with new lights and sound for upcoming stage performances.
