First, let me apologize for going so long without commenting, but I *have* been reading your blog and enjoying it.

I would just like to point out that while you referred to Eurodam as Holland America Line’s flagship, this honor actually goes jointly to the sister ships Rotterdam (since 1997) and Amsterdam (since 2000). They will probably keep the title until they are replaced with new ships (the last HAL flagship was the previous Rotterdam, from 1959 to 1997).

Best,
Doug

Hi Stephanie! )

Hey Johnny boy, you sure were and probably still are a little devil! Behave yourself! That impish grin in the picture of you in front of your Range Rover! Now really! We know the true John, I hope! Linda

IMPORTANT – READ THIS.

I am a genius!!!! I just looked at Carnival’s website and found the following piece of news:

“MIAMI (April 2, 2008) — Carnival Cruise Lines has added a new eight-day eastern Caribbean cruise option from New York aboard the 2,124-passenger Carnival Miracle featuring port calls to Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos; the private island of Half Moon Cay; and Nassau, The Bahamas.

The new cruise route will be offered approximately once a month from May through September 2009 and will complement the ship’s existing eastern Caribbean cruise schedule from New York featuring stops at San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., and Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
“We’re always seeking exciting and attractive itinerary choices for our guests and the Carnival Miracle’s new eight-day cruise option combines the opportunity to visit three distinctively different tropical destinations with the convenience of departing from New York, one of America’s great cities,” said Lynn C. Torrent, Carnival’s senior vice president of sales and guest services. ”

John, this is exactly what I suggested to you before your Miami meetings. Yippeeee!

I think this would make an excellent choice for another 2009 Bloggers cruise. I still want to know what the Dream will be doing, but this is excellent.

Have a good trip to Copenhagen. John, be careful lifting those suitcases. If you don’t, I’m worried your arms might rip off your body and then you’d look like the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy grail.

Heidi, I didn’t say it before because everyone else already was, but your new haircut looks great! Watch out for those Danish sailors – I hear they are almost as bad as Italians.

You have to get payback for all those pranks. Have you done anything to him? Tell us more about little Johnny, well maybe not, since he’s your older brother.

He really did all those mean things? What did you do right after any of those pranks, get even?

Please write more.

If they do a TV series, I would play the “karaoke host” for free!!!!
