Thank so much John, Stephanie, Tom and everyone that was involved in making sure we were able to watch the naming ceremony. We enjoyed every minute of it, the running narrative of what was happening, the pictures and the videos.
We felt like we were right there with you.
Job well done!

Thanks to you Stephanie!! it was wonderful!!
That was just the coolest thing being able to see is on the webcam and have Stephanie and Tony’s commentary as to what was happening each step of the way! I just can’t wait to be there with you on the Splendor..wow, Thanksgiving seems so far away right now. It was awesome and thanks for all your hard work. You did a wonderful job too John!
Congratulations John, Heidi, Stephanie & Carnival organization! The naming ceremony was a huge success and I wish Splendor & all its mates smooth sailing!
Thank you to all who made this possible! Wish I could have had a sip of the Sparking Wine!
Hi John/Heidi:
Thanks for posting this.
Very cool to follow along.
Thanks again,
David
Excellent Stephanie, thank you so much. Watching the ceremony was the highlight of my day. 80+ days until I can feel the seas again. WooHoo.
Regards,
Carol
P.S. John-boy, you did good.
It was great job done by all who put it together.
Thanks
Dave Myerly
have a great season good luck

Wonderful! What more can I say, wish we could’ve heard John’s entire speech though. But great job Steph! Keep up the good work! Tell John I said you deserve a raise! HA! HA! Linda
It was a beautiful ceremony Stephanie. Would you please inform Mr. Heald that at the moment the diver hit the hull, I broke out into tears. I don’t know really while but the feelings just overcame me. My congratulations everyone dealing with Carnival. I’m so happy that I cruise with this great company and especially Mr. John Heald. Ciao my friends.

Now if we can just get Chris Prideaux on the Blogger’s Cruise… today would be PERFECT!!
Linda
How did your parents enjoy the ceremonies?
“Amid the crowd on the ship’s Lido Deck were Heald’s parents, Neville and Hilda of Southend-on-Sea, attending their first ship naming …”
That was awesome!!
Thank you for sharing it with us!
Cathy & Tom
John:
I’m not getting your blog anymore. I’ve had to resort to going to an old one and scrolling through them to get up to date! Can you (or someone) tell me how to get back on the daily blog email? I miss reading (and seeing) you!
