The wife was very excited to see it and has saved it for future "blackmail". :) Well other than you being labeled a racist and a monkey killer, I must say that you were the highlight of the cruise. We have already started planning our next cruise on Splendor so that we can sail with you again. As the letter said, this was our first cruise and we will remember it forever and I can't even tell you how awesome the entire experience was. I hope you know that the "Mr. Bells" did not affect your sense of humor and we still loved every minute that we got to spend with you. Have fun with the Spring Breakers this week! Take care and get feeling better. -Philip John, thank you for posting my letter on your blog.

Maybe we can add a few more things to the "bucket list". Are you in John?Both Kathleen and I laughed soooo hard on this last cruise with you she was telling everyone she met in the hallways (while I was hanging onto the walls with legs crossed) that I was incontinent. At one point, we were laughing so hard someone came along and took our picture while we were hanging over the staircase, red in the face, legs crossed (again)trying to catch our breath. What a sight for sore eyes. In the glass elevators, we were pretending to be go-go girls (from the 60's) dancing in our cages. What cheap entertainment for everyone watching,,,,,especially the people in the lobby during tea time. Whew! Nonetheless,,,,,,wherever Kathleen and I go, we always manage to laugh til we cry, forget our ages and have a good time. We might be getting old, but we don't have to BE old. Thank goodness I'll never see those people again!Hope your resting and getting better. We can't imagine our next cruise without you. It's because of YOU we booked again!Jeanette Bucket List Lady We are booked and ready to sail on the February, 2009 Bloggers cruise to Cozumel and Progreso.

Seeing your picture with Eddie Capone sure brought back memories. I sailed on the Holiday in '86 with Gary Hunter as the CD and Eddie, (before social host days), was comedian, bingo caller, hairy chest contest host, etc. He was a riot! I had no idea he was performing. Do you think he'll be on the Freedom for my sailing the first week of April?? I know we'll miss having you as our CD, but I'd love to catch his show.Take care of yourself, John...give your body a chance to heal...it's telling you something. (And from the sound of it, it's a profane message!)Kathy (and Dave) Wow! Seeing your picture with Eddie Capone sure brought back memories.

Acupuncture or not, you should be starting to feel better relatively soon. We got back a few weeks ago from a wonderful cruise on the Destiny. I guess Skip Lyons was at the CD meeting with all the rest of you. Darcy Kneivel, however, did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the Caribbean. The air was pure and clean. I hear that has changed somewhat recently.Get well real soon.Regards,Diane and Rich Sexton Dear John,

I don't post on here looking for compliments or anything but its so wonderful to hear from you. Thinking of Susan and Maria as they go through procedures. I hope things start improving for you soon. Accupuncture may not be such a bad thing for you. If it relieves some pressure, it may help you a lot. Cheer up and thanks again, David Hi John/Heidi:
