    OMG John,
    How nice it is to hear your lovely accent again! I can read all the blogs, but hearing your voice and your great laugh again brings back the Med. cruise all over again!! Thank you!!! You had me laughing just watching your joy when you told us about what you ate, especially when you said you had “spotted dick”. (Shame on you for telling us about your personal hygiene problems). lol. Enjoy your 4 days with Heidi, and NO BLOGS, OK???

    There’s no way that a video can replace your written words, my friend, but it’s just such a treat to see you and others on these short films!!!

    Thanks again! This is just one more reason why this blog is so amazingly popular!!

    Thanks, Stephanie, for making this stuff happen!!!

    Love, love, love the video! It was wonderful to see you and the Ventura. Keep it up.

  12. Margie Tracy says:

    Hearing your voice has put me right back on the Freedom and hearing you talk about our family trip from NJ to Miami on your morning show. I can’t wait to see more.

  13. popcorngal says:

    Wow! Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding AND spotted dick??? It just doesn’t get much better than that!

    Enjoy your mini-vacation you two…it’s more than well deserved! Our best to you both.

  14. Joe Kyle husband to Polecat says:

    The Video is excellent and after hearing John’s voice made me relive my 12 days at sea on the Freedom a year ago this week with him. He helped make a fantastic cruise even more enjoyable!

    I hope you continue to review ships from time to time. I have decades of cruising yet to do and really enjoy your insight.

    Now, no more blogs for a few days, I think the world can survive the void for a couple of days.

  15. Hey John

    Was that really shot with your new gee whiz bang camera doodad? I may need to pick one up.

    Also, what’s up with this tease?

    John:

    Fabulous video!!

    Now if we can just get Carnival Corp to reciprocate all the loyalty “perks” to sister cruise lines for Milestone Reward Members….we would be “onboard”!!!

    Hi John/Heidi:
    Great to hear/see you on video. It has been quite sometime. I believe the last one was in your meetings in Miami several months ago.
    Enjoy vacation and don’t overblog as to upset your better half.
    Thanks again for posting.

  26. Do they have agents rates??!! I think it is my duty as a travel agent to try them out! Thanks so much for sharing as usual!

    Cheers!

    Yo John

    Cool format to today’s blog….Nice to hear and see you in the video format but I still prefer the written version…..

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!….hope you are enjoying your vacation..

    Remembering Microshaft Rick…..Wonder if the withdrawl of Micrsoshaft’s bid for Yahoo was one of the two pronged attacks? Let the company devaluate and then get it for much less in a few months???
