I was looking for "beautiful" images on google and it brought a picture off your blog site. How crazy is that? I hope you and Heidi are doing well. I'm back in Indianapolis and would love to come on a cruise this coming year just to see you and your better half. Much better half, at that. Cheeky b*stard. Take Care, Rafael John,

My family was on the Carnival Freedom March 8th-15th. We were a party of 12, three sisters aged 47, 45 and 32 with husbands and children ranging in age from 20 months to 18 years. We all had a super time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. I am the oldest sister and my husband and I had never been on a holiday further than an 8 hour drive. We are from Kirkland Lake, Ontario which is in northern Ontario and we left high snowbanks and travelled 10 hours by car just to get to our flight in Montreal, Quebec in Canada. I had been following your blog for about a month before we went and I must say kudos to you for being such an amazing communicator and after being on the cruise and seeing your shows it is very apparent that you love to do what you do. I wanted to purchase the DVD with the Ports of Call and unfortunately when I went to the Photograph kiosk at the end of the trip it was closed. Would you know if it would be possible for me to purchase it now or is it too late? I saw Heidi at the debarkation and told her to say hello to you and that you guys do a wonderful job. She is really sweet too. Keep up the great work! I just wanted to say thank you for being a wonderful Cruise Director. My family was on the Carnival Freedom March 8th-15th.

Maria: We were on the Freedom and my husband wore his tix on formal night. It is up to him, Charlie (my husband) loves to wear it when he can and this was an opportunity for him to do so. There were a few others I think but I wasn't really paying attention :) probably the same reason, he looked great in it and I was all eyes for him :) Good luck and have a fantastic cruise!

September 7, 2007 - Sept. 21, 2007 - Europe (ahh). It also reminds me that I never thanked you or you wonderful staff for a truely magical trip. Although I missed Canne and Levorno (I was sick) the trip will always be very dear to my heart for many reasons. Our cabin steward was so sweet when I was sick - checking on me often. There was also a very nice young man (James of the entertainment staff) who took the time to sit with myself and a friend and talk about our day. Anyhow, this is a belated thank you - I look forward to cruising with you again soon. Sue Hi John:

If Kevin is agreeable, I think it would be great to have him be involved as a chef on a future Bloggers Cruise. Barb R. - you may have booked as a single for the 2nd Bloggers Cruise, but rest assured that you will not be alone. You'll be surrounded by your Blog family. Pat InMN253 Hi, John.

What are you doing?" Hard to explain how I was enjoying my vicarious-mini-cruise. We really love keeping up with everyting this way, makes us feel like part of the family. Best to you and Heidy, see ya soon! Hi John,

I can't believe I have just discovered this site exactly one week before my Freedom cruise. I am now officially addicted to your blog and will spend the next few days trying to catch up. So sorry about your date with the Bell. I have had several friends dating the same - in fact one of my closest friend met Mr. Bell when she was nine months pregnant with her first child. You can imagine what a joy that was. Hang in there - try the exercises - you never know what will work! Looking forward to meeting you next week. Hi John!
