I sailed with you the first 2 weeks of Sept. Had a wonderfull time. We spent nearly every evening with Ron in the piano bar. Say "hi" to him from me. I Emailed a funny song to him, don't know if he got it. I hope in your breaking spree that you haven't broke your Tim Hortons mug that I carted over there in my hand luggage!!! Have you ran into any "Willy Bangers or Sum Poos" since that trip??? That had to be the funniest show. I have forgotten the name of the guy that was late boarding 4 times...Larry something?? Bye for now Marlene Hi John & Heidi;
Hope you have a great vacation.

We just got home from our Cruise on the Freedom 10/4. We stayed a few extra days in Rome to take in the sites. We wanted to thank you for such a wonderful vacation. It is difficult to express how much we enjoyed our cruise. We met great people, your staff was terrific ( LOVED the Beatles Tribute Band/Show) & the ship was fantastic. We have many cherished memories .... and we will never forget Mr & Mrs. Eikel. :) Thanks for everything... John.

And a bit more for dinner :).So yesterday Friday, the optional formal night,(lobster night is what I call it) I was on such a winning streak in the casino, trust me i was way way up and wasn't about to leave this kind of luck at the table I actually missed dinner. So a quick trip to lido a burger and pizza with a drink. Ahh the life. So I returned to my cabin where I had voicemail waiting for me from Brent who went looking for me in the dining room not knowing that I was taking a large amount of cash back from the casino, much to the pit boss's annoyance ( every 3 hands we got a new dealer, think he was a bit ticked) anyway, he left a nice message about just talking or emailing with you and your mentioning me and to check on me to make sure everything was fine. He also wanted to make sure your great presents arrived and they were enjoyed too bad I couldn't take the rest of that great basket home with me.I will post a picture on my blog. Strange thing is the card had the Hotel director's name on it and not from John " Please let me out of the dog house some time this year" Heald on it. But i knew it was from you. So i went to the purser's desk and I have to say John if there is anything you can do or anyone you can speak with, those ladies and gentlemen are such a pleasure to deal with, they called Brent and he came down we chatted for a few minutes I asked him to once again please stop telling your jokes because he just doesn't do them justice. Ok this post is long enough now. Once again thank you John, and you to Heidi, I can't wait to sail with or maybe even work with both of you some day. Kevin Ps for a full review click my name in the top left corner, also a picture or two. John,
