    I LOVE those hand dryers. Feels like it’s going to rip your flesh off but really get’s your hands dry quickly.

    This video was too funny. Thanks John.

    That is TOOO funny.

    I do remember these monster dryers on the Imagination. I had to constantly check to make sure I still had the skin on my hand.

    These are definately dryers that get the hands dry though…you have to give them that!!!

    That was hilarious!!

    It looks like technology escaped the engineers in this case…

    I’d leave it the way it is. Should the engines on ship shut down you could strap the hand dryer to the stern and use it as a jet!!

    Hi Lauren in Oregon,

    We don’t have the rights to put it on YouTube (USA Network owns the video). If you have anything else open on your computer while you’re trying to view the video close them, hopefully that will help. Let me know if it doesn’t.

    John & Heidi,

    Loving the videos.
    It was nice of you John to point out that the Splendor has one flaw. The good thing is it is an easy fix, just have to move the trash. I can’t stop laughing.

    Good sailing, Heidi and John!

    Brilliant people you have there putting the ship together there Mr. Heald. I couldn’t stop laughing at this particular video. It’s so nice to see you and Heidi laughing and smiling after your hectic work schedule Your videos are fantastic and they’re just what the doctor ordered. I love, love love. I hope they have put the safety bars in the proper areas and not once again over the toilet. Ciao my friend.

    I literally laugh out loud watching this one.

    I wonder if you have a television show in England like our “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (actually, I am not even certain it still is on here!)….honestly, I think that one could be a grand prize winner!

    Too funny!

    John and Heidi,
    Thanks for the laughs!! OMG, who designed the location of that??? Must have been a man! No offense, John! I needed a good laugh today, and you have certainly provided that! Heidi, check out the ladies rooms and see if the hand dryers are placed in the same location. Well, if nothing else, we women could go to the men’s rooms and get our hair dried with the “messy look” quite quickly now, couldn’t we?!! Maybe some could be installed out by the pools.
    John, I think I am with loads of other blogger faithfuls in anxiously awaiting the return of the great stories of the crazy things the guests do an say on board, and you answering questions on the blog. We miss that interaction with you!
    Thanks to all of you for all you do!

    Thanks Heidi & John,

    That was to funny. It is amazing what things we find that were overlooked before opening up something new. Other than that those things are great, might even peel off a layer of your skin (LOL). Take care and Maria and I can’t wait for 15 November when we try out the Splendor.

    Great video! Too funny! Thanks for sharing.

    I have a question if anyone knows the answer. We are sailing on the Glory in the beginning of October. I have heard a rumor that the Glory will be getting the Big screen LED TV outside in the fall. Does anyone know if this is true and when exactly?

    Hi John/Heidi:
    That would be great if you setup the secret spycam and twisted it upwards.
    It would be so funny to see all those toupes flying.
    Great video blog today.
    Thanks for taking the time to post.
    Hope you’re doing ok.

    Wow, I remember those things! They installed them in my senior year in high school back in 2002. I’ve heard those things go off from the other end of the hall, because they’re so loud! Never thought of putting the wastebasket under it though, LOL!!! Great video!
