'I still don't want this to be the end': Read the now-deleted apology Villa Vie's CEO sent to Odyssey residents

Villa Vie Residences CEO Kathy Villalba said in her now-deleted message to residents that she was sorry for the pain guests are facing.

CEO of Villa Vie Residences, Kathy Villalba, sent an apology to Odyssey residents on Friday following the abrupt halt of the ship's operations in Cambodia. The message, posted on Circle, the ship's internal messaging platform, expressed deep regret for the pain, loss, and uncertainty faced by the residents. Villalba stated that the ship was more than just a business to her; it was her entire life and the home for many residents.

She poured her heart and soul into the project, creating friendships and experiences that she cherished. The apology was later deleted hours after it was posted, citing overwhelming media attention and the need to refrain from further public comments.
