It’s a foot in the door to start it all over the ships. Are you allowed to smoke on your private balcony in the Spa cabins? I wonder if the adults only “Serenity area” by the spa is also non-smoking?

I must also put in my two cents worth and say I think Carnival should have Cheif Kevin cooking on the bloggers cruise, and if we can't have him, I would love to have Paula Dean cooking! Although I have not been well enough to be posting on your blog, I have not missed one of them! Hedi-love your hair!!! Please do a blog soon!! Princess Susan John,

Glad the younf lady was found and no harm was done. I am confident she learned her lesson, what I do not understand is the inconsiderate individual calling to complain about being woken up so early. What if it was his child, grandchild, nephew, niece. You are at the high seas and the best thing to do is wake the folks up before you go to plan B and that is to stop the ship (I guess). I have come to realize that people are never happy, we will find something to complain about. But glad it was just one and I hope you stop being a "Pirate" and get your eye back. "Corned Beef and Cabbage Time", take care.Luis John,

I finally have the video of the kids up. http://www.mcs3.net/ Click on kids Then click on the bottom picture - it is really a video of them going up the stairs. It was darker then I like :( If you feel like perusing on the webpage you can as well. We have our Carnival Cruise pics up there as well as our other trips we have taken. Deanna Ah well. I finally have the video of the kids up.

My wife and I had a blast! I'm not real big on a lot of the organized events, I like to read and people watch (thank God for Audio Books, I can do both at the same time!). While watching and listening to some of the people on our cruise and observing the utter disregard some of them have for the crew members who work so hard to pamper them, and then reading through your blog it just makes me embaressed for these people. I never really thought about the crew on a cruise ship until I got on one, and I have a new found respect for all of the people in this industry who toil, often thanklessly, only to have it thrown back in their faces so often by these knuckle-draggers! Thanks for all you, and everyone at CCL does, for all of us. I know you hear complaints often enough, but I wanted to be sure you heard some thanks too! I think it takes a special kind of person to work in your industry, I could certainly never do it! Every 10 minutes there would be a "man-overboard" call! Mike John,

University of Louisville fans usually have the same opinions of Kentucky fans as you have. I just wanted to let you know that your blog was mentioned on one of the radio stations in Louisville this afternoon. Someone sent the announcer a link to the Kentucky Fried Chaos blog and he mentioned how entertaining it was. I howled with laughter at your description of the University of Kentucky fans.

I have had a spa cabin booked on the Splendor transatlantic for several months now. At the time I booked there was nothing in the description of spa staterooms that said they were all non smoking. I just happened to be browsing & dreaming today & noticed a statement that ALL spa staterooms were non smoking. Now perhaps I shouldn't smoke, but I do & I surely don't plan to spend 16 days someplace where I can't smoke. If Carnival wants to provide non smoking cabins, that's fine but they should have been up front about it in the beginning, not made the rule after people have already booked these cabins. I called my TA & I'm on a wait list for another balcony cabin. Hopefully one will come open, but if not I'll not be onboard Splendor for the TA. Hi John,
