I have been told by my wife and super spy PA 007 that I am a cruel man. Both have said that I must stop teasing you about my meeting last Saturday.
Oh, OK then. Last week I received an email from someone via someone else via someone else’s friend who had sent an email via a person through a carrier pigeon…………..it doesn’t matter, I received an email. This email told me that someone who has a very respected name in the film and TV industry thought the blog may………….and I say may…………have the potential to be a TV situation comedy.
I read the email…………………..and fainted. After regaining consciousness I read it again and I could not believe my eyes. Actually I couldn’t believe my eye as the other was still under the influence of Monsieur Bell.
This Saturday it became a step closer to reality when I was visited by a very important man called Jeff who works with other important people called Jerry, Simon and many others.
I showed Jeff around the ship and as it was his first time on a major cruise line he was truly impressed with the operation and the facilities.
Over a lunch of spicy Indian food Jeff and I discussed the fact that hundreds of thousands of people cruise every year and a comedy based on a cruise ship would be something that so many people could associate themselves with………..he agreed.
Let’s see what happens, I am just incredibly chuffed just to have got this far and beyond thankful to the mystery man who made this happen.
So, there you have it. As soon as I know anything else I will let you know and sorry for teasing you before.
Now it’s in the hands of TV type people. Will they turn my little thingy into something big……………….Heidi has hoped that will happen for years.
Goodnight
Your friends
John and Heidi

Will definitely keep eyes peeled for more infomration when you know more.

John – what a magnificant dream come true. I think you are hilarious and a TV show with you writing and input would be a hit. I know we’d be watching. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I think Dick Wooden should be on the first show – how bout’ it. JJ
Hi John: Wonder who will play you and Heidi? There isn’t anyone near as funny as you, so you would have to play yourself! As far as Heidi, have to think about that one. I would definitely watch this show! Keep us updated. Linda P.S. Mike’s brother passed away yesterday, so we are very sad right now. Waiting to find out the funeral arrangements.
Hi John and Heidi,
I think a TV show would be great. The Love Boat did wonders for the cruise industry and a show based on your blog that shows the behind the scenes running of a ship would go over well. Now there are a lot more people cruising who could identify with the show and maybe we can get even more people to cruise.
Have a great time on your cruise. When we’re in Nassau on Friday you’ll be in St Thomas. I wish we were going there too.
Enjoy!
George and Linda
Thats awesome John, best of luck!
John, I suspected TV!
How cool! Let’s hope it happens! We could all be guest stars!!
Mr. DeMille… I’m ready for my closeup!!
Woohooo!!
GregB
I told you so !!!
I mentioned that to you last year although I said this would make a good “movie” ! I knew somebody would pick up on it !! Make sure you get a good theatrical attorney to look at any contract and protect yourself John !!! I don’t care how “nice” they are !!!
Kathy and Paul
John, what great news. For sure you got to write that book now. I volunteer to play myself. Everybody in this blog has been telling you all along that what you write would make a wonderful book but to jump right to a TV sitcom is outstanding. They wont need any writers you already did that for them. Move over Benny Hill make room for John Heald.
BIG ED
CO-STAR
This is super news!!! We’ll keep fingers and toes crossed that the TV show happens. Hmmm, now who to play you and Heidi?….:-)
Oh John, How great! We hope the thingy turns out to something really big for you. You deserve it. You are THE BEST! I hope they can recognize that. If not refer them to all of Big Ed’s Evil Krewe and all of the bloggers who read it everyday, we’ll let them know really quick…. lol
Don wanted me to tell you that Tennessee ’s basketball team plays Rick Pittino’s Louisville, KY basketball team Thursday… Hope you can pull for us to win. Oh we are from Tennessee in case you didn’t know….. lol
Carolyn
Go Tenn. Volunteers
Woo Hoo!!!! Us cruise-a-holics are multi-media based. We would love to have a TV show to enhance our addiction to your blog thingy, cruising web boards, books, movies (can you say Speed2…or maybe Olson x2) … oh yes and the occasional cruise (once a year for us). I think your wit, wisdom and compassion could translate beautifully to a TV show starring you and Heidi ….. but if your not available how about your mate Kevin…. I just love him and he can do your British-American accent
Wow! That would be great! It is past time that we had another TV show, set on a ship. The Love Boat initially sparked so much interest in cruising, and now we are all hooked. Bring it on!
Be sure to share with us how you’re spending your days on the Emerald. I want to play like I’m there, too, enjoying a sunny day poolside.
George Hamilton just called, He wants the Lead Role…………. If thats ok with you.
I will definitely be watching if it does ever become at tv show!
I hope you have fun on your Princess cruise, I know for a fact that you will not be saying that Princess is better in every way because in my opinion they are not. I have sailed on their ships and I have found the food, service and personel don’t even compare to Carnival. And of course no one can even come close to the fantastic cruise director that you are. If only they could clone you. Congratulations on the possible sitcom, I for one would watch it all the time, we need more laughter in this world. Well you two enjoy yourselves and relax you deserve it.
John, Good Luck. I hope this comes to reality. First Roberto gets that “offer he can’t refuse” now you maybe on your way to get it. Just think of all the people who watch TV while eating their dinner. They may have to put a warning on the screen before each show, “WARNING! EATING OR DRINK WHILE WATCHING THIS SHOW IS NOT RECOMMENDED”.
BIG ED
John,
Such GREAT news!! I thought maybe a movie or book deal – but TV is a great medium and great advertising for Carnival!! . I hope you get to contribute to the writing as you are the best!! Playing the rule of Sr. CD should go to John Goodman – almost perfect match!!
I knew your writing would be destined for great things!!
Enjoy your vacation
“Debs”
Way-to-go! I may have to start watching TV again. Somehow the shows today just do not appeal to me very much.
Reality can be so funny, and you have over a years worth of situational material to start with, as your own wild imagination goes to work. I can only imagine folks all over the world laughing as they watch “The Bed Time Story live with John”.
Just think of the spin-offs… Fun Ship USA, Fun Ship Alaska, Fun Ship Bahamas, Fun Ship Caribbean, Fun Ship Europe, Fun Ship Hawaii, Fun Ship Mexico and so on………….
WOW John!!
You deserve this .I hope everything works out for the best and what is best for you and Heidi. We have talked about a movie and movie stars but who could play you on TV?? Only you, who else?
BTW I would prefer Paz Vega to play me not Penelope. LOL.Yeah sure..
Congratulations!!
Nanni
Awesome! Absolutely awesome!
Can you pass that much gas on a TV show and talk about it? LOL
elaine
Way to go John WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sounds great… I am the student that thought she wanted to be a bus. (tee-hee) from your last bit of time on the Freedom. I wish you all the best, I hope to see a sit com come to the screens of the world… Thank you so very much for making my first cruise so much fun… we came home and the very next day, rescheduled another in Oct 08… By the way, Ken generously spent time with me and gave me wonderful insight to the Food and Beverage area of the ship…Amazing task that crew deals with. I hope to see you again on the Splendor
Kelly Savage (AKA “the Bus”)
Woohoo! That is great news! I am crossing my fingers for you and cannot wait to hear more!
Countdown to Valor: 11 days – Yipeeee!
John…Wow!
What’s the “alleged” plan for this TV show? That is, will you actually be involved as a writer or performer or as a “technical advisor.” Or will they “buy” your idea(s) for a bazillion $$$$? Did they give you an outline of what they have in mind or is it totally in the research stage?
It’ll definitely be an exciting venture and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you to get a wonderful deal!
What does Heidi think? Is she as excited as we fans? Keep us posted!!!
Congratulations!
Myra Bushnell
Wow. You sneeky little devil you. The show sounds like it would be a natural. It could be mostly about all the good things we all love about cruising with a little bit of the ugly mixed in. I think it should star unknown people like Lost did when it started out. You and Carnival take us to magical places with all the comforts of home along for the trip. Cruising is fun. Sometimes travelling is not fun.
Jo Myerly
Dear John:
What “great” news. We keep telling you that you should write a book. Please keep us posted.
Love,
Robert & Suzann
Good afternoon Mr. Heald. I’m so excited for you and Heidi. When you started this blog thingy as you say, you thought it would probably end very quickly. Boy were you wrong. There are so many people that feel so close to you and your beautiful wife that success was inevitable. All I can say to you now is, we told you so about how great your blog would be. Congratulation my great friend. I’ll be looking forward to your programme. Ciao for now.
Paul F. Pietrangelo
What great news John! For those of us who have read the blog from the beginning, we already know how wonderful you are. Hopefully now, everyone will have that chance also
*Runnning around the house:” My make up, my make up!!!
Great news! I would be hooked from the start! I was a huge “Love Boat” show fan.
Hope you and Heidi have a great vacation on the Emerald Princess. I already have the web cam bookmarked where we can keep us with you all.
Thanks for the many, many laughs everyday!
Very nice idea! John the TV superstar…… or the life and times of Sir John….
And the money kept rolling in from every side…
An Aston Martin may indeed be in your future
Too bad all good shows on television don’t seem to last very long. The networks yank them rather prematurely these days.
Hi John and Heidi,
That is great! Sean and I both had said after reading the blogs, that this would be a great reality or sitcom. Its great, we usually sit down at the computer and get a few laughs off your blog since we have been back from the cruise. I hope this works out for you guys!!
Melissa and Sean from Massachusetts
AAACCKKKKK!!! THAT is the most fabulous thingy of all to read…imagine the impact you would have, and how much laughter you would share with the WORLD!!!
Love it, love it, praying hard that it happens for you and for Heidi. Get an agent and a lawyer and maintain control. You da man John!!!
PS – Please tell them that you insist the pilot thingy be done on a special Bloggers Cruise and you have the cast of characters in place already …LOL!!!
PS2 – Where do I join the Big Ed Evil Crew, Mr Big Ed??
Congrats John on the possible tv show.. you deserve it..
I am picturing a bit of Doogie Howser with the blog.. the Love Boat with the ship.. and George Hamilton playing you…
That would be one show I would definitely watch. Keep us posted.
John,
Wonderful news!!!!
That would make a great tv show!!!!
I wish to play the role of Princess Susan…hehe….
I’ll play it for free for just a free cruise!!!! hehe
Nobody could play your part but you!!!
How exciting for you!
Please keep us informed!!!
Princess Susan…the smiling one.
John,
They could make a documentary. JUST ANOTHER DAY: THE STORY OF JOHN HEALD. You can just call me at (***)***-**** when you need me to play the role of Chief Security/crowd control.

Oh boy…that would be SOOOOOO cool–the idea of a comedy on a cruise ship would be a virtual gold mine of ideas for them, and if they just reviewed your blogs, there would be years of material already! I officially name myself leader of the New York campaign to bring this show to the air! Heidi could be played by a number of beautiful actresses—John, as for your portrayer……I’m at a loss!
Congratulations on the TV show possibilities. We’ll keep our fingers crossed. Have a fun vacation.
Hi John,
HOW ABSOLUTELY WAAAAAAY BEYOND FANTASTIC!!!!!
Wow! a behind the scenes Love Boat…..(I grew up watching that show!) would be awesome! It would complement your book nicely….You’re gonna be extra busy my friend….good luck! Gloria
Hi John.
That’s absolutely great – congratulations.
Now… how about a TV comedy series set on a Caravan Park……..
Hi John/Heidi:
Congrats Mr. Celebrity. I am hoping that you’ll call me up and ask me to appear in a cameo roll. Very exciting.
Seeing how popular your blog has become, i’m not very surprised that you are generating interest. Your stories could make for good television shows. I bet Fatma is sitting beside the phone waiting for her acting opportunity.
Thanks for the great news and good luck!
David
Hi John…
Wow!! What else can be said? Sounds terrific. Now, all we have to do is come up with a name for the show. How about something simple:
The John Heald Show
Gotta love it.
I am currently developing a product that will cover and protect tv screens from the occasional overspray of beer and popcorn while watching the take off of Series of the Seas…..damn I can feel my butt getting bigger with another show to take in. Good luck with it. Ken must sing the theme song……..Heidi played by Reece Witherspoon. John by George Clooney…….
Love it.
Kap
I told you I thought you should be on national television- this would be a hit for sure. I am hoping this goes through for you – you soooooo deserve to be recognized in this way. You brighten up people’s lives in a very stressful world. Can’t wait to see you on the telly – I have a feeling this is going to fly!!!! Best Wishes Karin Gadd from Freelton Ontario Canada
Awesome! This would be great! You will have to keep us up to date on what is happening. I have been reading you blog since you started, but this is the first time I have commented….
I say do it!
That’s neet John, Something besides cops and doctors on TV.
Wow – that is beyond amazing John! I am one of those very visual people so if reading your blog can have me grabbing my sides with laughter with the visuals in my head, I can only imagine what I’ll be like actually having it played out for me!! The cruise that I took the group on at the start of March had more than enough content for a few episodes…which would pale no doubt in comparison to the following week when you were overrun with spring breakers!! Awesome!! Hopefully on a station that we can get up here in Canada! Very much looking forward to it! Be sure to keep us in the loop as things progress! Thanks for sharing the secret – I know it was killing you to keep it inside anyway!! haha! Cheers!
John,
A T.V. show, what an awesome idea. Please let us dedicated bloggers know where we can sign up to be extras.
Terri
Wow John, I love the idea of a comedy show. I would def. watch it
John, it would be a great TV show – though I do wonder how they would script the Turkish Masseuse episode.
John,
That’s great news! I hope it works out for you. Someone asked who would play you…well, only one name came to mind, and that’s George Hamilton, of course! Who else?
You have so much material…just the audience participation alone is hilarious. Imagine what they could do with each day’s stories you’ve woven into your posts. I’m very excited for you and Heidi.
Shannan
When you hit the silver screen, John, don’t forget who helped get you there,,,,,,,US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it weren’t for us bloggers, you wouldn’t have a story,,, right?
Remember your roots, remember your blogger friends and remember your family,,,and in that precise order. I’ll be watching the TV Guide for the new up and coming listing…….How groovy is that?

dude!! what a great idea! you could actually get that aston martin too! i’ll play me, okay? ha ha ha (just kidding, i’m way to lazy to have a job!)
smiles, bonnie and prince charlie
Hi John,
Congratulations! What exciting news. I would definitely watch this show. Best of luck and have a fabulous time on Princess.
A TV show!. I haven’t been this excited since my husband decided we are going on a cruise for our anniversary. Hope everything works out.
John & Heidi,
Of all the people I know, you are the one that deserves this opportunity. I never known anyone that works as hard as you do and enjoy it. It shows in everything you do..I always said to my husband that you would be a great comedian writer for a show. Hopefully this dream will come true. I agree with Deborah that John Goodman would be great actor to play your character . You already have one million plus viewers before you even get to set sail.
Pam
John,
HOOOOORAY!!!!!
Life on TV… novel idea… after all Cruising is just life in a confined area!! It’s speeded up to happen in a 4, 7, 14, etc day timeframe, which is exactly the format of TV…
PERFECT!!!!
I think the first episode should be the Blogger’s cruise… Yes, that would be just PERFECT!!! We already have litle soap operas going on in our lives… We can offer thrills, chills, romance, jealousy, passion, money, etc….
Sex and the Cruise Ship…
Two and a half Cruisers…
CSI: On Water…
the Wide World of Cruisers…
John: His Life Happens!
WOO HOO!!! I hope to see it in the Fall line-up!!!
John and Heidi:
Just to be offered the possibility of this kind of acknowledgement, of what you do, is an honor.
(spelled correctly)
And a well deserved one might I add.
Just remember TV show or no TV show…you both are still stars to us!!!

Hi John aka Stephen OMG….I’ve been on Spring Break with my grandson and when I got back,the first thing I did was get on the computer to get caught up on your bloggy thingy and couldn’t believe all the news I’ve been missing. Of course it’s always interesting to read about difficult passengers. I don’t know why you don’t have ulcers. Hope for sure that Mr Bell is out of the picture for ever. Sorry about the rude hotel people in Miami, but if you’re ever in Wash.D.C,I highly recommend the Sofitel Hotel. GREAT hotel and wonderful employees who could not do enough for their guests. Just have to comment on the picture of the DR from the Princess, did you notice the word “INCESS” above his picture? Is this a new disease or a cure? Lastly, so excited like everyone about this TV thingy. You have a wealth of info to contribute to this idea. We could all say “We knew him when”. Please keep us updated as I’m sure you will. WOW, this news was almost as good as eating the chocolate melting cake. Enjoy your Princess cruise and regards from Texas to you and Heidi.
John, glad you are feeling better. Thanks for a great week, my family and I loved every minute and it was a treat to meet you and Heidi. Thanks in particular for arranging my son’s meeting with Lizzie and TJ. They are quite gracious and it was the highlight of Brandon’s trip. Thanks again and good luck.
John McAlary
That is fantastic!!! I will be waiting with baited breath to hear more. It would be so fantastic to have this happen.
Talk soon.
John,
What a wonderful opportunity! I’m excited for you, and I know it would be a hit!
Congrats!
Amanda
John,
What awesome news! No one can play you…..and why should they? You are a fabulous comedian and your timing is great. Why fool around with perfection? You’d be perfect for TV.
Hi John!!!
It would be so great to have a “good” comedy sitcom to watch, especially about a cruise ship. The stories you tell about people on that ship would fill a season with no problems!! And it would keep the audience in stitches. The comedy sitcoms on TV right now are so stupid it’s a waste of satellite reception. I remember the “Love Boat” and it was great in its time, but a cruise ship comedy would be perfect. I’m crossing my fingers!!!
WOW, how wonderful it would be to have a show with all of your humor. I gotta say it would definately have my eyes peeled! Would bring new meaning to TV. Maybe something could be done on the 2009 Bloggers cruise for the show if it pans out! That would be awesome.
By the time you are reading this John, I know that you and Heidi are on the Princess and I sure hope you are relaxing and having a great time and wonderful weather!
Keep up the wonderful blog, it brings joy to each day.
Cindy & Kevin
Dear John & Heidi: I just returned home from a little mini-vacation and immediately got on the internet and to your blog. What a surprise!!! I cannot think of anyone more deserving than the two of you. And as far as anyone playing you guys, you must play yourselves…..it will not be the same. Will be awaiting the good news. Take care,
Regards,
Terry
Hey John.
So awesome to hear about what might become of the blog. Kudos to you…
Kevin James could be a perfect you.He is your age. John Goodman is older.He could play Big Ed. Very similar voices too. LOL
WOW, a real live TV star? Really? Too fun!
John & Heidi:
That is fantastic! I have thought that they need a show about a cruise ship. Not another Love Boat type, but like you stated, a comedy. Writers could spend a week on a ship and come up with all kinds of shows from the antics on board. If this does transpire, they at least need to give you and Heidi a special guest appearance on the show! We will all keep our fingers crossed!
Scott and I both hope you and Heidi have a wonderful time on the Emerald Princess! We look forward to the daily blogs of the happenings on board. We personally haven’t sailed on Princess (Sorry, we are addicted to CCL) and maybe one day when we are old enough (maybe 60) we will sail on one of them.
John,
Congratulations, now they need to figure out who would play you on TV?
Since George Clooney has such similar features I’m sure you’d vote for him! LOL
But in all honesty, I think this would be a logical step because there hasn’t been a “cruise ship” show since The Love Boat.
And so many things when it comes to modern cruising can be done. You can have your funny episodes (of course more of these then anything) where you would make fun of the guests that come on board and just complain about everything and moan about everything. And then you can have your serious episodes every now and then and have situations like the one you had the other day with the missing girl. That is something that could be played out on TV for a whole half an hour. One scene shows the crew scrambling trying to find her while the CD is making the announcements. The other scene is showing her in the “friends” cabin drinking and passing out.
Shoot, where do I apply to be one of the writers for the show?? I just wrote two episodes, lol
Good luck to you on this endeavor John and have fun on Princess.
-Marc G
John, OH MY GOSH!!!YOU MUST PLAY YOURSELF IN THE MOVIE!!! NOTHING WOULD BE FINER!!!
KEPP US POSTED!!!
HAVE A EMERALD HOLIDAY FIT FOR A KING AND PRINCESS!!!
Love, Paula and Nelson Baker
I dont think it should be a tv show starring someone else. It should be a tv reality show starring you, Heidi and other cruise directors on all of the Carnival Cruise line something like the one they have for Southwest Airlines now that would be cool!
John,
Just remember the little people if you make it big. (no pun intended). I have not blogged in a while and I just wanted to say hi. Hope this finds both you and Heidi well.
Your friend,
AJ
Hi John, I hope your vacation is off to a good start ??? That is very exciting about the TV show. Are they looking at a reality type show? I always thought they could do a show like that Airport on A&E that hangs around with Southwest Airlines. It could be called Port to Port or something like that. They could follow you around to see how everything works and how you take care of things that come up on the ship. I would think this is more of what you would be looking at rather than a sit com.
Either way keep us posted and best wishes to you. I hope you are taking some time to enjoy yourself and that lovely wife of yours this week.
John
CONGRATULATIONS JOHN
FIRST RULES TO REMEMBER BEFORE SIGNING in your TV CONTRACT ………
1. The show would HAVE to be shown in the US & UK RIGHT?
2.Your humour is unparallel, I don’t think anyone can play John but John Heald. I do worry that if You become a great movie/TV star you might leave Carnival & lose some material. so can you do part time work for both companies???
3. We TOTALLY AGREE that the BLOGGERS have to be in the pilot AND have to be in the audience at the first taping and post party production.
4. ANYand all Hawaiian based scenes have to included Betty Bo0p &the Big Kahuna.
5. What does Heid thnk of all this hoopala? Has she decided on what dress she will wear to the emmy awards yet?
6. Be sure the sponsors will be Carnival & Jelly Belly sponsored.
7. Ken Byrne has to have a singing role .
8. No Frenchmen allowed, nor french water, or any other french products on the set, including french fries.
9. Spotted Dick to be on the Set when John is on the set at ALL TIMES!
10. Computer on the set for Blogging & Writing AT ALL TIMES
Take Care and enjoy your vacation, Congrats…
Love & Best Wishes from The Tuckers
Arnold & Elizabeth
Is there a role for an Temporary Assistant Cruise Director in Charge of Costume Design?
Seriously, congratulations – it sounds like it could be a great show. Just think of all the ridiculous complaints your star would have to deal with – and ALL of them true.
Go for it.
How exciting! I love TV comedy shows! I always watched the Love Boat, but this would be so much better – it could be about real people and some of your hilarious encounters – but names will be changed to protect the innocent – right Stephen?
You and Heidi could be the main characters! What a hoot!
Congratulations!!
John, just got around to checking the blog today!
WOW squared!!
YAHOO to the max!!
Congrats, it is a fantastic idea; if Hollywood has any brains they will get this underway ASAP!
WOW,
Diane from Texas
I was on the March 15-22 Freedom Cruise and would watch a show based on this concept in a heartbeat! Remember the Love Boat? Great Host Crew! We LOVED Ron Pass-so glad he’ll be with you on the Splendor!
I do have a complaint: THE TRIP WENT BY TOO QUICKLY! Can you guys do something about that?
Also, in regards to the early morning PA announcement (March 17 blog), what else could you do? A family was worried sick! Sure, I was awake for 1 1/2 hours in 2336, watching my own teenagers sleep in the dark (while my husband and son snored away in the adjoining cabin). It was a small price to pay to sleep well after hearing that “blablah” was safe in her cabin (or maybe not after Mom & Dad got through with her). You did a great job-as far as I know there was no momentary panic from passengers (like you get when the phone rings in the middle of the night). It also worked as a sober reminder to the kids (and rest of the passengers) that safety is 1st. A cruise ship is not some free-for-all party hangout. You must keep your guard up, even just a bit, while having all that fun. Score (1) for the parents that lectured before the trip-we actually know a thing or two!!
Thanks for another awesome Carnival Cruise!!
What a great idea! How about just making it a reality show instead…there are more than enough laughs throughout your day! And I’m sure Fatima would be more than willing for a special guest starring role!
WOW!!! What great news and I pray it happens for you and no one can do you but YOU. What a great show it will be and so very entertaining – life needs all the fun and comedy you provide. Heidi needs to be her sweet self in the show and the rest of the cast can be whomever – With you as the star, the rest won’t matter. Jelly beans and what it does to you………what can I say?
Have a great time on your Princess cruise the two of you and relax.
Too perfect!!! How terrific.
Hi John and Heidi!!
What great news for you. We are all sharing in your excitement now for sure!! I vote that all the bloggers, particularly the Evil Krewe be in the first filming and it could be done aboard the blogger cruise #2. What do you think fellow Krewe members?
Congrats to you and Heidi. Keep us posted!!
Gloria aka Sue
Wonderful news – I would like to think I gave this secret someone the idea when I posted a while back about doing this exact thing!!
If it’s what you want, I hope it happens… and happens perfectly! Too often the people who inspire an idea suffer much as that idea evolves into something else. We certainly don’t want that to happen to you!
Two thumbs up!
Terri & Larry
John,
No one deserves it more than you!
Good Luck!
Cathy & Tom
AWESOME!!! What an opportunity. So, how do your blogger friends fit into this picture???
I think it’s an absolutely wicked idea!!
John and Heidi,
WOW!!!! HOW EXCITING!!!! You deserve this more than anyone!! You have worked so hard, not only at your job, but in bringing the exciting cruising life to those of us that are, for most of the time, “land locked”. I can’t wait to see and hear what happens with this great idea! And, NO ONE could possibly play you–it would never work! Keep us posted!
Sheryl
Good news! Hooray for you. You will certainly have enough material to make the “magic 100″. Fingers crossed.

Hey John!
Thanks for contributing to another wonderful cruise! My daughter was married on Carnival Freedom on March 15, 2008 which was also our first family cruise together (we have cruised four times prior but not with all the kids). Everyone had a blast! My husband was the last one aboard in Jamaica and the kids thought it was hilarious hearing his name all over the ship! Our daughter’s wedding was beautiful also. Carnival did a great job in coordinating her wedding! She was also picked to be on stage for one of your little shows which was so fun for us to watch and she had alot of fun with it. Thanks again for adding “spunk” to cruising! Hope “Mr. Bell” cuts the visit short as soon as possible for you and you’re feeling great again soon!
