What a long 14 days it has been but oh how rewarding. I will have time to write a few raspberry-flavored blogs from the coach tomorrow as we start our last day.
I am going to say goodnight by showing you a few photos. They are random………..from all the places we have visited and have been taken by a great friend of mine Radu who is the Carnival fleet’s best photographer………….his work will be displayed on the Carnival Splendor during an exhibition and in my opinion………he should have his work published.
Please excuse this short blog, it’s 11 pm and I have to be up at 6 am…………I promise to write more tomorrow.
Her are some of my mate Radu’s photos
Goodnight
Your friends
John and Heidi

Hi John and Heidi
It has been wonderful experiencing your travels throughout Europe. I can hardly wait for my cruise next year on the Liberty. (Of course, I have 4 or 5 more before then…LOL)
Such wonderful pictures from Radu. He is the BEST! I am planning to ride the Ferris Wheel, but it looks pretty tall, and I am afraid of heights…oh well, it is a chance of a life time.
I am looking forward to more blogs. Give my best to Heidi. Until next time, take care of each other!!
Gloria aka Sue
The pictures are just marvelous. Please thank Radu for them.
Get some rest and we’ll read more tomorrow.
Hello John & Heidi
Grandma here. Tell Radu that those are some incredible pictures. I would love to see his work published.
I have been unable to write lately but I have not missed one of your postings. I would never miss that shot of funny you always provide. Keep it going.
CarolAnn
WOW, fantastic pictures – my favorites were the dancers and the ferris wheel. He is a great photographer, and he needs a showing of his work! Carnival should do this for him. Glad his work will be displayed on the Splendor, hope I get to see them in November 2008 when we are on the Thanksgiving week cruise. Fabulous Radu! Thank you for sharing them with us John! Your friend Linda
What great Pictures!!!
WOW!! Pictures truly worthy of exhibition, what a great idea to do it on the ship, so all cruisers can see what wonders await!!
Great pictures Radu, and your’s also Heidi.
John your blogs have been terrific, even the raspberry short blogs that you seem to think you have to apologize for. They have been brilliant. I have enjoyed your trip immensely. There is so many places that you have been that I would love to see, but that will never be.
As your trip winds down, I am sure you have to be exhausted. I pray that there is some much needed rest for you and Heidi soon.
Sleep well.
Don and Carolyn
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing Radu’s photos! He has amazing talent!
John,
Have really enjoyed the short blogs and thanks to Radu and Heidi for the most fantastic photos.
Get some rest and please continue the short blogs for now.
Dave
WOW! What incredible photos
Thanks
John -
I set the picture of the bridge at sunset as my wallpaper on my computer. I hope your friend Radu does not come chasing me for royalties.
Get some rest, friend. You don’t want that French malcontent, Monsieur La Bell pour retourner.
Votre ami
Juste Jean
What awesome photos! I especially love the sunset and the bridge (is that the Tower Bridge?).
Get some rest and I look forward to the morning’s blogs.
Carol

Love,
Suzann
The London pictures are amazing! Pics from ex-USSR are still scary to me
((((( I don’t care what they are called nowadays…. It’s a bad memory…
John and Heidi,
Thanks for the amazing pictures. The pictures from London were wonderful. I can hardly wait to actually experience all these things. Thanks for keeping us informed on what there is to see in each port. It should be exciting.
Ruth
Hi John/Heidi:
What an amazing set of pictures. Great quality and detail.
Thanks for posting.
Hope everything else is going well!
David
I know this is off the subject, but a few years ago you mentioned writing a book called “All Aboard, John’s cruise adventures”; was this ever written and published? I am awaiting this big event so I may purchase a copy. I am sure every one of your adoriny fans would LOVE to know.
Your biggest fan,
Laura.
MY JAW HAS FALLEN ON THE FLOOR… let me pick it up…
BRILLIANT!!! WOW!!!
I don’t have the words to express how wonderful, how beautiful those “captured moments of life and time” are…
These are more than photos… this are glimpses and captured emotions or life and the world…
Thank you!!!
Lambie
Wonderful photos!
Thank you John and thank you all for the beatiful words, it is not even a day since we finished our famtrip in Amsterdam, and I already you miss you John and Heidi.
I am in Paris , and I will spend 5 days here and I hope to bring with me to Miami a little bit of this amazing city together with all the other unforgetable memories , taken together in the past few weeks.
See you soon John and Heidi
your mate Radu
Great pictures, thank you for sharing them with us. I know that each one of them has a little bit of Radu’s soul. Like you said, I would like to see them published one day, too. They will be for sure an inspiration for the people cruising with the Splendor and for everybody else who can see them.
Richard Englert
Great pictures, thank you for sharing them with us. As you said, I would like to see them published in a book one day. I know that each one of these pictures has a little bit of Radu’s soul.
I am sure that they will be an inspiration for the people cruising with the Splendor and for everybody else who will see them.

Love carnival will continue to love carnival but would like to let the powers that be,be aware Tried while I was on the ship but really got the run around, have never complained before, Do you have a suggestion. Thank you Judy
