It seems from what I've found on the internet I may have made a wise choice with the Imagination.. I hope it's as pleasant an experience for me as it seems to have been for those before me.

I am booked for a short cruise with my partner and youngest children, on holiday from Cambridge and Leicester universities, on Imagination on January 2nd 2009. I doubt you are cruise director now but, having cruised with Carnival many times, I very much look forward to it. ( Hope a fellow Brit is cruise director!!!). A super blog!

You were the cruise director and I must say you have been the most hilarious and outstanding cruise director we have come across in our seven cruises so far. Our next cruise is the 6th August sailing of the brand new Carnival Splendor cruising the Baltics. It would be great to have you as the cruise director again. Norman from Malta Hi John,

My family and I are taking a cruise on the Carnival Elation near the end of March and I know that ship is in line for the "evolutions of fun" upgrades. My question is: Do you have any idea when Carnival Elation is due to get her turn in the "Evolutions of fun?" I'm dying to know! Hello!

As usual great time was had by both of us, services and food were fantastic. Only problem was we didn't think weather would be as cold as it was in San Diego and for the 1st two days southward on both cruises. No one except a couple of kid penguins made it into the pool. Not Carnivals problem but enough to return us to the Southern Carribean for next years January journey, likely on the Miracle or Victory.

She was my first ship on my first contract with Carnival. After working for Carnival for only 3 years and moving arround ships, I left in 1998 when I got married to a Stiener, Miryana. We got married on Jan 7th 1998 in Gand Caymen. As it turns out I will be back on the Immagination as a pax/cone/guest tomorrow Jan 5th to cellibrate out 10yr Anniversery in Grand Caymen. I have not really keep much in touch with many people, but I look forward to seeing some familiar faces. I see Hedi & you are doing great. I also look forward to seeing all the recent changes to the Immagination. Regards, Ron from Canada Hey John,

I was on the Imagination over Christmas of 1997. It the first cruise for my wife and me. You were the cruise director, but I think it was only for that particular week. I think the regular director was on vacation, and you came over from the Destiny. You may remember that this was the cruise when you brought the Baptist Minister on stage one night for some type of game. He acted nothing like a Baptist Minister, if you recall!! It was a riot! Keep up the great work. John:

Is the internet cafe free or separate charge? I know he'll be hitting that all the time. This'll be my second cruise with Carnival as I was so impressed with my journey with Victory.
