I enjoy your writing style, but I think your personality would really come out in audio format ... from there you could even expand into short "interviews" with either guests or crew ...Since you have all the audio-visual people on a cruise, I would even consider expanding into a video podcast where you could show parts of the ship, ports, etc ..Obviously all a lot of work, editing etc ... but with the professionals you have on board, this should help.Again, I'd be happy to meet with you on board and discuss details/ideas and experiences I have doing this myself. I'm up to episode 39 of my audio/video podcast.Quick question too ... what type of electricity outlets are available on the ship .. ie American 110V or is the ship designed for European 220 and if so, what type of outlets since I know the Europe has several "standards" for electrical plugs.Thanks!

Quick question too … what type of electricity outlets are available on the ship .. ie American 110V or is the ship designed for European 220 and if so, what type of outlets since I know the Europe has several “standards” for electrical plugs.

Thanks!

We only talked for a few minutes, He was out for a walk with his wife and we were with Warren and Colette Wakeman at their office at the entry to Fox Run. I think it was about 16 years ago. I am glad he is enjoying the lot we sold them. He probably also dosen't remember the free upgrade he offered me! ( just kidding ) See you June 18th..Can't wait!

Think about it, come on now, fess up? HA! HA! Well, I guess you are both even now huh? Yes, you better learn Italian! It's a good thing you didn't give her that card for your Anniversary! Or else you might just be celebrating a divorce! HA! We are checking out the Jan 19th Bloggers cruise, but it is so close to our Thanksgiving cruise, don't know if I can get the time off from work, or if we will be able to swing it money-wise. I too asked for info. and have not gotten any emails back (not even in my junkmail box). Tell Heidi Happy Birthday ( her 25th right)? HA! HA! What a lucky man you are to have such a young sexy gorgeous wife, (Goodbye Angelina Jolie)! Count your blessing John! Well, we leave in 19 days on the Glory, can't wait, I am glad you keep an archive of old blogs as I print them up each day, and can print them all when I get back. I am excited about the Glory because my son and wife will be on the Sensation and we will all be in port in Nassau on the same day (Fri. May 25th) and we hope to meet off the ship at 10am. Well John keep up the good work, we really enjoy your blog, and are counting the days till we see you in November. We voted for you too, hope you win! Linda & Mike the hammer!

Thank you for your kind words on my mother-in-law's death. My wife was very happy when she read it. Now, about the card for Heidi's birthday. When I made the same type of mistake, I went and found the largest card that I found and wrote the words " I LOVE YOU " all over the card, large and small words, different coloured words etc. My wife laughed and smiled. I was back into the house. Try it, it may work. See you.Paul F. Pietrangelo Hello Mr. Heald. Thank you for your kind words on my mother-in-law’s death. My wife was very happy when she read it.
