It looks fabulous. Sorry for the lack of air conditioning. It must be miserable. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. By the way, your followers do understand that you are very busy right now.Take your time! Ruth John and Heidi,

I have been asked by fellow posters on Cruise Critic to contact you that you may be able to set us up on a Meet and Mingle onboard. We are on the 11/17/2008 4 night sailing out of Fort Lauderdale. I would appreciate any info as to this request. Regards, Sara Kelly ( cruising grammy on CC) Hello John,

I have finally caught up! Thank you for all the pictures and videos they have been wonderful! Heidi and dogs - we are looking at getting a Bernese Mountion Dog in the future. Very big, lovable, good with kids, laid back temperment. I can't wait, but it will be till I stay home as well so he can get the attention he deserves. As it is right now the ferrets are a great pet as they sleep 22-23 hours a day! And the cat is very self sufficient. Thanks again for all you and Stephanie and Heidi do, it is much appreciated. Deanna Wow! I have finally caught up! Thank you for all the pictures and videos they have been wonderful!

Thank you for posting. The Black Pearl looks so pretty. Hope you have cooled off from your little warm front passing through. Very exciting that trials and delivery are so close. Looking forward to reading your interview with Ms. Brown this week. Hope everything else is going well. Keep in touch! David Hi John/Heidi:

It's quite wonderful... definitely a Splendor! The other day I got a present in the mail that you would get a kick out of. I got a DVD of some old 16mm films dating back to 1930 from my great-grandparent's trip from SanFrancsico to Europe. They sailed on a through the Panama Canal and then to England(Canadian Pacific line's "Empress of Australia" and "Dutchess of Bedford" liners). Some of my favorite shots were of the others liners in the harbor, first class passengers having wheelbarrow races on the Promenade Deck, and the pool games (folks swimming in the pool-- the ship wall was the only thing between the swimmers and the ocean -- no stabilizers back then...yikes). So much has changed... for the better! Wow, thanks for sharing the pics of the new ship. It’s quite wonderful… definitely a Splendor!

Lots of people spend big money to sweat off a few pounds in a sauna - and here you get a sauna not merely for free, but you are gettting paid to sit in it! Speaking of pounds, I hope the diet is going well. Keep up the good work! John, you are such a complainer.

We were on the Liberty in the Med two years ago but didn't get the opportunity to meet you. You both do an amazing job. John, if possible can you tell me when the formal nights are on this cruise. We love to go to the supper club but don't want to miss the formal nights. When can the supper club be booked? Thanks for all the updates. Cheers Gary & Di Canada Stephanie, please have John reply Hi John,
