Comments on: Nessun Dorma http://johnhealdsblog.com/2007/09/06/nessun-dorma/ The official blog of Carnival Cruise Line's Sr. cruise director, John Heald Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:46:08 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Peggy P. http://johnhealdsblog.com/2007/09/06/nessun-dorma/#comment-11959 Peggy P. Sun, 09 Sep 2007 11:42:53 +0000 http://johnheald.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/nessun-dorma/#comment-11959 John, It was nice to see that Heidi likes to take pictures of sunsets to. I always take alot of pictures every cruise and you would think that an old salt like my Husband ( 20 year Retired Navy sailor) would enjoy them to. He always comments about how many pictures I take, I think he does it just to get a rise out of me ( which he always does ), however I will still keep on taking numerous pictures. It must be a "girl thing" I am enjoying your blogger thingy. I saw the pictures of Costa Maya, what a tragic site, we were just there this past may. and I went in the pool and walked all around that area, and now it is all destroyed. Thanks for sharing all the information with us. Keep up the good work. John,

As others have said - Heidi's pictures of the sunset were beautiful. We always try to pause each evening while on a cruise, to sit on our balcony with a glass of wine and watch the sun set. The pictures helped give us our fix to hold us till Jan 19th on the Freedom. Can't wait to see the interview Mr Cleese !! John

Did the gene pool completely skip over you and deposit all over her? Well, at least you were left with a sense of humor, something that will get you by even when her good looks are long gone. Love to you both, Rus & Nina Franklin John, your sister is gorgeous! Did the gene pool completely skip over you and deposit all over her?

Some of us have been a daily part of this blog right from the start. Some even have been given credit for the blog taking off like it did by John and fellow bloggers. There have been many suggestions put to CARNIVAL by the regulars one of which was the BLOGGERS CRUISE. I know you been in here for awhile so I know you have seen John many times say to bloggers to keep writing. "BIG" ED I guess I'm a BLOG HOG too Vikki and Mat Till,

That is precisely the reason I go on Carnival Cruises, to relax and have hopefully experience a de-stressing vacation. Are we going to have to pay a fee to experience that now? John,

Since your blog I have often thought of her and how afraid she must be, and now this. I hope that everyone who reads this blog takes a moment from the day to just appreciate the "little one's" out there, if you see something that just doesn't look right, ask questions, turn for a second look and if the hair on your neck is standing up ~ it is standing for a reason. Bless our little one's and dear Madeline rest easy, where ever you are. Thank you for letting a mother vent. Dear John and Heidi:

I think it's safe to say that I am not the only one for whom the food served on a cruise is so important. Would you consider devoting an entire blog (or part of a blog) to the culinary aspects of cruising on such a huge ship as the Freedom? You could present an interview with the chef, the logistics involved with feeding such a large passenger complement, sample menus from the dining room, the specialty restaurants, pictures of the Midnight Buffet (is there still such a thing?). I can think of many items which are food-related but I am sure you can think of many more. (I know you are a jelly bean expert!)

They were absolutely gorgeous! I must share with you also my concern over the uncertainty of what you will be doing in the future. I can truly understand the stress of your job. It is so difficult to deal with all the situations that come up. We do hope, however, that you will be on the maiden voyage of the Splendor. The idea about a show on the Travel Channel is a great idea after the Splendor!!!!!! John and Heidi,

Thank Mr. Rouse for me for helping facilitiate this. The sunset photos were awesome, and it's good to see that the historic Olympia ruins for the most part were saved from the fire. I've got nothing else to contribute, so good night! Hello John,
