My heart sank this morning when I looked out of the window as we arrived in Cozumel and not because I could see my naked reflection in the glass………….it was dull, windy and the sun had buggered of to Australia………………..a continuation of yesterday.
It’s now 9:45am and I just went down to the pier to speak to the Shore Excursion team to check what tours are canceled and unfortunately its most of them……..especially the water based tours.
The sea is still a bit angry and the last thing we want to do is put guests in a dangerous position so therefore we canceled 50% of the tours……………a real shame…………..but safety first of course.
So, I started to make my way back to the office to make an announcement and as I did a guest stopped me and he was not a happy bunny. I knew this before he even said a word, I could just tell and this was confirmed as his finger extended and he began to conduct Beethoven’s fifth symphony inches from my face.
Basically, he was angry and the weather and therefore angry at me. He had been feeling ill yesterday and now there was no sun and it was to cold to go outside………………what was I going to do about it.
During his rant, his voice got louder and louder so much so that a small group of interested guests had gathered in the lobby on deck 0. Anyway, his last statement was that this was the worst weather he had experienced on any vacation and he would now have to spend the day onboard.
Before I had chance to speak I looked down to my right to find an older lady standing next to me…………….oh great I thought, I have the mad conductor and now Judge Judy is about to attack me…………..and oh boy did she attack …………. not me…………him.
She let him know that he was wrong to blame me and that it was God’s choice the weather was as it was. Now, as nice as she was to do this I knew that the mad conductor would probably turn his index finger toward her. Therefore, I thanked the lady for her help and grabbing the man by the arm I gently suggested we continue this conversation elsewhere……………..he declined, I took his cabin number and he left.
Now, lets recap……………..he said and I quote “this is the worst weather he has experienced on vacation and its too cold to go outside”……………….I checked with the bridge……………it was 74 degrees………….it was very windy………….no rain……….but 74 degrees………..too bad to go outside…………sometimes I am lost for words.
Anyway, I will monitor the day and if there is no improvement I will add more indoors activities this afternoon……………if as Judge Judy said that God has chosen this weather and if God reads this blog please can I ask for a drop of sun, just a smidgen……….just enough to allow the mad conductor a chance to go outside.
After that confrontation and before a morning at the computer I decided that it was time for a cup of coffee. So of to the café I went and during the journey I met many happy and cheerful folks who despite the fact that Mother Nature had woken in a bad mood were determined to have a great time……………..I started feeling good again, obviously it was just the mad conductor who blamed me for all the world’s faults…………………..and then I met Papa Smurf.
I am calling him this because he was…………ummmmmmmmmm……………..on the small side and had a long white beard and as I approached the Café I greeted him with a good morning. He answered with a crisp “morning” and I should have left it at that but me being me I followed up with “Are you going ashore today?”………………..a fairly innocent question you might say ………….. Oh no it wasn’t.
Papa Smurf rounded on me and gave me a look as if I had just asked him to wear my underwear as a hat!……………and that was me……………for the next ten minutes………………listening to Papa Smurf tell me the end of the world was just around the corner.
I can’t be bothered to type word for word what was said but let’s just say he used the word recession a hundred times.
Apparently, it’s got something to do with the Chinese, who have affected America’s sub-prime, something or other. Papa Smurf says inflation will spin out of control, millions will find themselves living in caves and eating rat stew……………or something like that. Anyway, Papa Smurf has decided that he is not giving any of his money to “foreigners ” thus he stays onboard.
I got my coffee and just for a moment ……………………………………….I considered adding a very large scotch to it.
So, I returned to the cabin to sit down and type a few more lines for the blog and the gloom of mood and despair that the Mad Conductor and Papa Smurf was only heightened when I found Heidi watching a show on television.
This lady called Tyra was interviewing some people who apparently had discovered that although they had been married for a number of years they were actually……………… related………. and they were brother and sister or something like that…………………people were crying and the audience were gasping and I decided…………….. it was time to get off the ship…………now.
Therefore I am off to meet the family of Bloggers who missed the ship in Miami and have just arrived. I will then try and go ashore for an hour…………… if I can survive the artic temperatures!………………………back soon.
In fact, I am back sooner than you think…………..Heidi and I were off the ship for the grand total of 8 minutes. We walked off the gangway, walked past the Carnival Liberty docked next to us , rounded the corner and then obviously Mother Nature spotted me and let loose a torrent of heavy rain…………….and that was me entering the wet T-shirt contest.
So, we trudged (is that a word?) back to the ship along with hundreds of despondent looking passengers and here I am again at the key board. I have just arranged extra activities for those guests who prefer not to have gallons of water dumped on them…….and its Mexican water so it may have other effects as well.
At 2:30pm Heidi will host a trivia contest followed by something called Win, Lose Or Draw……… a bit like pictionary ………just for the bloggers. Adele from the Entertainment Staff will host a general knowledge trivia game and Sea Feud for all the other guests to play. We then have a big screen movie indoors ………….in the main theatre………….something called Evan Almighty………..it seemed appropriate to show a comedy movie about a man building an Ark because of heavy rain………….anyway Steve Carell should brighten things up a bit.
If the rains continue then we will add more things to do………………..I am off to walk around a bit and chat with the folks…………back soon…………………oh, just before I go I want to say a big thank you to the guys at Cruise Critic who are featuring the blog on their amazing site…………..check out http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=2366
Here I am, the movie has about 200 people watching it, Heidi has 50 or so having fun with her and the other games are also well attended. The Classical Trio is playing in the lobby and as the rains pour down and although there is a sense of disappointment in the air everyone I spoke to is happy, they are not worried about falling markets recession and the Chinese eating away at our subway prime thingies.
So everyone seems in good spirits………….except Papa Smurf who is probably in his cabin counting his money and the Mad Conductor is as we speak sitting in the sauna wishing he could put certain parts of my body on the hot coals.
Here are some photos for you.

Good Afternoon

Look, friends — there are a few things you should remember before you comment. The space below is for you to post your comments about the post I've just written above. If it is something that's unrelated, please use the Ask John tab above. Now, while I may not be able to reply to your comment below, I do sit in my underpants almost every morning and read everything that is here. So feel free to comment on the comments and then if someone wants to comment on the comment to the comment then go ahead as well. Please be courteous unless the poster is French...........then you can say whatever you want.
If it makes anyone feel better we’ve had light rain in southern California (San Diego). The mad conductor should be happy–he’s on vacation.
Mucha agua John, Mucha agua LOL
I have been watching the cam and reading blogs from people on board. I know its not been easy weather related but I can tell you my blooger friends are very happy.At least this time you have many friends on board. That man was lucky that at that moment he was speaking with you none of your friends were present( I guesss) because they would have make him walk the plank. Right Big Ed ? Just to be safe dont tell them who he is(They still have time) LOL Remember last time I brought with me the puertorrican sun and it didnt rain? This time I cant send it to you because is raining here also. But tomorrow is going to be fine youl see.Its your day friend!!
Nanni
John, If it will make you any happier, in the metro Detroit area of Michigan it is 15 degrees F. with wind chills in the single digits. 74 degrees sounds just heavenly. 46 more days till our cruise on the Crown Princess.
Cheers, Linda
Hey John,
Welcome to Cozumel. I have gotten rained on every time that I have been there. But last September, it was almost 100 degrees when I got soaked. 74 would have been great. Our only consolation was that we were heading back to the ship when we saw the weather starting to turn, and we passed Wee Jimmy and his “entourage” heading the other way. So we may have gotten wet. but at least we could go put dry clothes on immediately. We are going to try December this time. Maybe we will be able to see all of San Gervais without a storm showing up.
Till next time
Kevin
ps Last post, i meant that I lived in Massachusetts for 26 years. I guess that my 2 is not working well.
Thank you for finding time for the blog thingy with all you have going on. It is the highlite of the afternoon.
I would be happy to trade places with Papa Smurf or mad conductor, as I am sure many others here will agree. US is experiencing bitter cold, felt like 2 degrees yesterday morning here is the sunny southern state of Ga. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I so need a cruise!
Hope you all have a blast the rest of the week we wish we were there! Maybe next time.
Sorry to hear about all the rain, I am sure all the bloggers on board are happy, just to be with you. As far as Papa Smurf and that other guy who gave you so much grief, it’s too bad they can’t appreciate what Mother Nature has to offer in the way of rain, it helps flowers grow etc. So, if they can’t go out, they can have fun on board. I wanted to wish you an early Happy Birthday tomorrow, I am sure Big Ed and the rest of the blogger gang probably have something special planned for you. All our best to you and Heidi! Mike & Linda
Well!
It appears as though the Chinese have purchased the sun, at least that portion that is supposed to shine down upon Cozumel. At least the UFOs haven’t landed and taken away most of your passengers… I’m guessing that you wouldn’t mind missing a few, however.
Tomorrow will be a better day and you’ll be greeted by sunshine and happy faces all around… with the possible exception of those for whom the world has already ended and they’re just waiting for the credits to roll…
You have no idea how pleased I am that we’re seeing so much from the Blogger’s Cruise!! This is a real treat! I called Carnival today to try to book for ’09 but there’s no info yet available. Soon, perhaps.
Have a wonderful evening and tell all of the faithful that we’re watching and laughing along with them.
Greg
Good evening Mr. Heald. It amazes me that when people take a vacation and if it’s not perfect they want to complain. It’s freezing here with snowing coming tomorrow and a week of freezing cold weather. Now here he would have something to complain. In 10 days I will be onboard the Freedom and I’ll tell right now, I definitely won’t have a thing to complain. I’ll just be thanking God that I will have had the chance to go on a cruise and finally meet you and Heidi. I think that beautiful old woman would yelled at him should be given a medal. She knows the truth. Maybe send here a bottle of Champagne. I hope that the bloggers are doing well. I would like more photos of what is going on. ( also more of your beautiful wife. She stood there in the rain and she still looks great. ) See you soon. Ciao.
Paul F. Pietrangelo
Wow John,
What with the Caviar Lady, Conductor Man, Poppa Smurf, & mucho agua, it hasn’t taken you long to get back into the swing of things. You haven’t encountered Mrs. Knee Hi or Fatima again , have you? Sounds like they would really be at home on this cruise. Thank goodness you have your blogger friends along! It sounds like you need them. I hope that tomorrow brings all kinds of sunshine for you!! By the way, it’s wonderful to read the blog daily again.
John hope this note finds your ankle felling better.
Great picture of the Freedom and Liberty, but I think that is a Yankee hat on Heidi, bugger.
Does she have a Red Sox hat, if not I will take of that when we meet on Feb. 23rd.
Hope the weather improves.
Papanh
Don’t let them get you down. Here in North Carolina it is 22 degrees. I talked to my Mom and Dad today, and they told me they were having a great time.
John
we know what the boats look like and docks WE WANT YOU HEIDI AND ALL THESE BLOGGERS PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and hope you are enjoying YOUR WARM WEATHER WHILE IM SITTING HERE FREEZING MY TAIL OFF IN MICHIGAN BIG ED
Hi John and Heidi,
When I use to work for Disney we’d have people complain that “we” ruined their vacation because it was raining. I’d rather be on a cruise, on vacation, in the rain, then sitting at work!
John, And a wet Heidi,
Greetings from New York where today’s temperature was so cold I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets (26 degrees with a wind chill of 1) tomorrow is going to be 40 with snow. God is sure punishing someone.Probably those Chinese who now own 51% of the sun. Anyway the reports I hear from the ship from my fellow bloggers are positive, even with the bad weather. It better clear up soon so you and ED can walk the Lido in your Thongs and show everyone the full moon. Wow I’m on a roll tonight. Well my friend I have officially booked the 2009 bloggers cruise i requested a cabin with Free caviar, a Chinese Attendant, a box of free cigars, and someone to pick up my underwear off the floor in the bathroom. And let us now forget a shower curtain that is also a sick torture device. And robes that are so big that me you and big ed can fit in one with room for another person. Oh and I also requested the free bottle of dom that everyone gets according to my travel agent who happens to be me. I also asked for a room that will never have any movement and clear skies and no rain at least on my deck in my cabin. Did I forget anything i don’t think so but if I did I will be sure to let you know via the Pursar once on board. Oh I remember I want a CD with a crest on his jacket who tells great jokes. And a Giant flag shaped like size 80 boxers with the letter H on them right about
there. And a few hose pipes of course. What do you think. let me know
Kevin
Freezing to death in NY
Oh John,
I’m so sorry that you caused all that rain and even a recession! Poor man. You just can’t win with some people. So just fogetaboutit! Thanks so much for keeping us up to date when we all know you’re so busy. I too called Carnival about booking for next year, but they said no info yet. So I’ll just have to be a little patient. Happy birthday early! I hope you have lots of sun and happiness tomorrow. Only 12 days til Carnival Liberty! Now, go and do something about all that trouble you caused! Ha Ha Ha Ha! Bigs hugs to you and the gang!
Leasa
Angry seas , Mr, Mad Conductor, Uncooperative Mother Nature, Papa Smurf, Torrential Rain ……BUGGER!!!
Hope all the Bloggers are still enjoying their experience with Cruise Director Extraordinaire…..
I would welcome 74 degrees….. Here ….(yuk)….Snow will spread across the entire area this evening. By noon Tuesday there is a chance for another 3-6 inches of snowfall. Temperatures will rise overnight into the mid 20s by daybreak. It was 5 degrees the other day!!!
with all due respect lay off papa smurf or what ever yo call him. markets are falling like a rock. I already sold months ago, but this can drive people batty.
he may be a nice guy most of the time.
In his cabin counting his money????
If your clients did not have money to count, how many ships would carnival have?
I’ll trade the mad conductor, 17 degrees for rain!!!
john stop apologizing for the rain honey!!! it is not your fault. we had a blast today, rain or shine and it is warm and lovely!
the bloggers are having so much fun.
happy birthday tomorrow!
smiles, bonnie and prince charlie
John – it’s was 5 degrees this morning in Pittsburgh. I’d take 74 right now. I was supposed to be on the blog cruise but got sick and couldn’t be there. People are sure rude – like it’s you fault about the weather. He was just an unhappy person to begin with. Hey did I hear tomorrow is you birthday – have a great day. Jan
“it was dull, windy and the sun had buggered of to Australia………………..”
Sure has!! It’s sunny and a warm 85 degrees with a few scattered clouds here in Melbourne, Australia!
Keep on Blogging!!! I’ll send the sunshine back over to you now!!

John, Heidi, and Fellow Bloggers,
Hope the weather improves. Here in Illinois we got a little over an inch of snow today and two nights ago it was -4 F outside, so 76 and rainy sounds like heaven. Keep crazy and have fun at John Heald’s big food and liquor filled adventure in Jamaica or whatever it’s called.
-BigMike
Hi John and Heidi
Wow! 74 degrees and someone has the nerve to complain. I cannot believe that anyone would complain, especially since here in NC where I am it was 8 degrees this morning. At least he didn’t have to thaw the doors to his cabin like I did my car. As for someone not giving their money to the foreigners, why go on a cruise outside the US? Doesn’t make sense to me…
I am off to my cruise on the Pride next week and I have a special request for my cabin: I would like a private massage every day, a bottle of bubbly twice a day, champagne and chocolates every night instead of that little mint, gourmet coffee in the urns, and to win on every gamethat I play (slot and table) in the casino as well as win every bingo game on the ship. Do you think that can be arranged in advance or do I need to go to the CD on the ship to get it? LOL
I hope the weather gets better and that everyone is having a great time. Please respond to my previous post about the booking I have on the Feb 7, 09 cruise. Until next time, take care and give my best to Heidi.
PS If Jeff Brrrronson complains about a demanding guest on the Pride next week it will probably be me!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!! AND MANY, MANY MORE! Linda & Mike P.S. Have FUN today!
Send the Rain to us in South Australia as we are having a drought…. water restrictions as well.
Sun Sun. and more Sun..
Back on the Freedom.. 37 weeks 5 days 13 hrs 28min 22 sec.. OCTOBER 13TH 2008
WHOOSE COUNTING US…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN
Happy Birthday, John. Hope the weather improves but on a cruise any kind of weather is still okay with us. We were in Cozamel the first part of Jan. and the captain had a hard time docking – came in backwards! The waves were so high the water was breaking over the pier and people would try to time it to get past without getting wet. It was a fun game and the waves usually won. As far as I could tell everyone had a great time. I guess there are always going to be a few jerks that refuse to adapt and have fun. Hang in there.
Looking forward to seeing you and Heidi on Jan. 28th on the Imagination!! Jeri
John and all the Bloggers,
You remember the Smurfs, huh?
It’s actually warming up in NY (20′s this morning). It is so nice to see Heidi wearing a Yankees hat. You go girl.
The shot of the Freedom & the Liberty at the pier reminds me of St. Maarten the last time I was there.
Regards and enjoy the rest of the festivities.
Carol (wishing I was there)
74 degrees and rain trumps the 12 degrees and snow we are experiencing here. It is so windy, the snow is coming at me SIDEWAYS!!! I’ll take the rain and 74 NOW. John, it could be worse, Fatima could have been waiting for you on the pier with her hoses. Sounds like you are all having fun, despite the few “crazies”. Happy Birthday!!!! I’m sure Big Ed and crew will make it a memorable one. Still looking for pictures. If I can’t be there, pics are the next best thing. Say hello to Heidi and all my friends!
I have been to Cozumel on 2 Carnival cruises and it rained both times when I had beach excursions booked; I am sailing in April on the Inspiration to Cozumel so hopefully the third time will be the charm.
We had some rough weather in Orlando on Saturday evening. I had just returned from a visit to Epcot Center (yes, John I did visit the UK pavilion) when it got really stormy around 6:30 pm and in fact there were tornadoes reported in a few counties. After following the weather reports from across the country I was definitely concerned about bloggers who may miss their flights. Hopefully the weather will improve for the rest of your cruise and a good time will be had by all.
If you see my friends…Rus, Nina and Mark Franklin who are on the bloggers cruise please tell them that “Linda the Mouse” says hello…you will probably have Rus up on the stage with you at some point as they usually collect quite a few ships on a stick.
Regards to all of the bloggers.
Linda
Happy Birthday to you (cha cha cha)
Happy Birthday to you (cha cha cha)
Happy Birthday you ole cruiser…….
Happy Birthday to you (cha cha cha)
May your Birthday and all the days that follow be the very best!!!
Happy Birthday John!!!
I know your wish is that you turn the corner and find that Papa Smurf and has also brought on all the other smurfs (there are only like 200) aren’t there, think of all the stories!
Happy Happy to you dear sir!
Happy Birthday to you John!
See ya on 2/9….can’t wait!
Hope the weather is better today and everyone is having a wonderful time. Serve any rabbit today???? Laughed so hard reading that!!!!
Dear Mr.John and Mrs.Heidi!
))
Much closer! 
We keep reading you blog from May

A big warm hello from Russia, Moscow! We have -4(C) here, it’s snowing and definately colder than the weather I see in webcam – it’s sunny there today!!!
Sorry for those people who can’t appreciate the moment of their life – being on the cruise ship, being in a wonderfull journey, far away from home, work and worries! Let them enjoy their life
We with Alex are very jealous, of course, but we couldn’t join you in Bloggers’ cruise – it’s too far and too expensive to go to Carribean from Moscow. We hope to meet you in St.Petersboug, here, in Russia, may be in summer or Autumn
Wish you good weather, tasty diet food (some say French food is like that))) and more FUN of your job!
(No need to answer!

John,
I first met you when my wife Cindy and I took our first cruise on the Glory. That was the year the hurricanes hit with a passion. We were scheduled to go on the Western trip but was re-routed to the Eastern. As soon as we got to St. Martin I went diving while the wife waited patiently for me to return so we could go shopping. Unfortunatley that was not the case since YOU ordered up another Hurricane to spoil our trip. Not only did YOU cancel all the excursions, but YOU even canceled our St. Thomas port of call. That was in 2004. Since then my wife and I have taken 6 more Carnival Cruises and we always look to see if you are going to be our cruise director again. I am not sure if it is just be coincedence that since you have not been our cruise director we have had perfect weather, or if you really do have the voodoo power to order bad weather. My only regret on the cruise on the Glory is that I did not think about personally blaming you for ordering the bad weather.
On a serious note now though, I want to add that YOU are personally responsible, along with a host of other Carnival CD’s for my family and friends to continue to book cruises on Carnival. In fact we are booked for one next month on the Sensation, and on in November on the Glory again.
Keep up the GREAT work and Please order us some sunshine for our next cruises.
Mike Stephens ~ Almost Platinum….
First and foremost, very happy birthday!
OK, let me try that again–seems I hit enter and one line posted. A very, very happy birthday to you John. I think you should put candles in Papa Smurf’s head and light them! And I am SOOOOOOOOO pleased to see Heidi wearing a Yankees cap! Good girl–and I am going to have to show Bruce the nice picture of her in a wet shirt–you have a prize there, John!
Happy birthday, John!
When the turkeys get you down, just head for the sunshine room…that would be wherever the maximum number of bloggers happen to be hanging out at the moment. Oh, and heaven help anyone who gets on your case in the presence of one of your loyal crew. I can see it now…Papa Smurf surrounded by Big Ed and the gang, all wearing their “I love John’s thingy” (I mean “Blog thingy”) t-shirts. Talk about a menacing gang. Papa might think the pirates have commandeered the ship! Hey, you should wear a special whistle that only bloggers can hear and blow it when some creep accosts you.
Sure hope the weather has improved. Although, for me, bad weather would just be a good excuse to stay on board and play trivial pursuit, win, lose or draw, etc. Scott and I usually win (or come close) so we enjoy the games. Plus, look at all the money saved by staying on board!
Are you having a special birthday party with all the bloggers as guests? If not, you should!
Enjoying 70 something degrees in Clermont, FL,
Myra
Awesome pictures today…I love the 2 ships side by side.
I love how people hold you accountable when the rain works against you. What a joke.
Welcome back! I guess you were sorely missed.
The bloggers still love you and that’s all that matters!
Cheer up!
D
Love Heidi’s pic!
That’s a great shot with Heidi and the Liberty and Freedom. We had a fabulous time on both ships in Europe! Both you John and Heidi were on them as well with us!
Sad news. We will not be sailing on the Splendor! Had these reservations since May10th !!! Cancelled this morning……..
Kathy and Paul
Hi John,
What a nice surprise to find your blog ! I’ve had a lot of laughs today reading here. You you bring back a flood of memories.
Being a former nurse on several ships in the fleet, I can sympathize with being the object of anger from passengers over things we had no control of- like the weather. How many times I bit my tongue while being yelled out for various maladies that were the result of their own overindulgence in food, drink, or sun. But, I learned early on not to judge all the passengers by the chronic complainer’s. My therapy was to go up and see how many more were having fun with the cruise staff – goofy games and all. I’ve even been guilty of some line dancing with them at deck parties myself.
I left to be ashore with my family, but I do miss the friends I made in my years at sea. As a result of living the surreal ship life, I have friends all over the world and wouldn’t trade anything for that gift. It was such a growing time as I had my mind expanded learning about the world from the perspective of non-Americans. So many fond memories..
Keep up the fun blogs. I wish you and Heidi calm seas and sunny days, and some occasional coneless peace together.
Gina
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!! I just had mine on the 17th and am officially an OLD BAG!
74 degrees sounds great! The mad conductor should have been here for our 17 below real temp and wind chill of 32 below. We had six to eight inches of snow yesterday. When a woman talks about six to eight inches, she usually isn’t referring to snow either, but talking about you and Big Ed.
Poor papa smurf. I’m too poor to own any stock but the news even caught my attention this morning when the NY stock exchange opened and immediately fell 450 points. Actually, I worried about my rich x-husband and hoped the news wouldn’t affect my alimony. After all, that’s my cruise taking money! (and boy did I earn it!)
Don’t let a couple of jerks ruin your day. Eat some jelly beans, wash them down with that diet root beer, point your finger back at them and tell them to……….pull it!
love,
juls
John,
So now that you’re forty something… And you have all this experience with a Blogger’s cruise… And you’re back in the Saddle, handling everything like a pro… The Blogger’s Cruise for ’09 will be PERFECT!!! And you’ll GUARANTEE it???!!! WOW!!!
Cruises and life in general, is going to be as one decides it’ going to be! If you decide the world’s out to get you… It will! If you decide it’s a bad day… It is! But if you decide that it’s OK and the world will survive… You’ll have a good day!!!
I pray for better weather for you and the cruise!!
Take care my friend!!!
Regards,
Kirsten
John -
I am so pleased to see that Heidi has much more taste in baseball teams than you do.
GO YANKEES!!! (Bet you can’t guess who I root for).
Truth be told, I did buy the misguided child a 2007 World Series Champions hat for Christmas and I will attend a Red Sox game and root for them – as long as they are not playing my beloved Yankees.
BTW – the next time someone complains about the cold and it is 74 degrees out, maybe you should suggest a St. Lawrence Seaway cruise in January
Jon
Hi,
It ended up being a good day in Cozumel after the morning rain stopped and a beautiful day at sea afterwards. Now we’ll see if Grand Caymen holds up.
What a sight to see the 2 Carnival ships beside each other. Our 7 year old loved it.
