Three questions: Will there be a wine tasting on this cruise? Will the Chef offer any classes, talks, cookbook signings and/or demonstrations? Is Richards Black Coral Jewelry still located across the street from the tender pier? My family is so ready for the bloggers cruise. Let The Fun Begin! Maxine John, “Please Reply”

I read your schedule and it looked like you will be on the Freedom to the end of March. Does that mean you won't be on it during our cruise on April 12th? I sure hope you two will be there, it would be so fun to meet you. Not to mention I can get you those brochures for Glacier Park and our area. I'll cross my fingers.I'm going back to work next week but still have a cast on the foot to protect the surgery so that should be interesting. I'll definitely be glad when they allow me to walk on it. Crutches are the pits!Take care and the count down is happening in this house! Hi John and Heidi,

Since I don't know when John will be blogging again, I can answer your question.Place your VIP tags on your luggage and give them to the porters as you have done on all your other cruises. The luggage at embarkation is handled the exact same way it has been for all your other cruises.The only bags you can carry on the ship yourself are those that are small enough to fit through the Security Scanner (like at the airports).Have a wonderful cruise on the Valor!!!

Still hoping Alan gets to come on the blogger's cruise...I need to go pack, then unpack some clothes, and then pack some other clothes...it could take me several days to pack...LOL Susan John and Hedi,

I have a question that I'm having difficulty getting answered. Not sure if this is the appropriate forum but I'll ask anyway. Can I rent snorkel gear for the week aboard the Freedom? Thanks for your help. See you in March. Do you still work with Wee Jimmy and Willy Banger? :) John, I like your blog! I have a question that I’m having difficulty getting answered.
