Please let them know that the east coast has had them for about three years, it is time for the West Coast to have equal time to enjoy this GRANDE’ BAND. We deserve a chance to enjoy them too.

Hi John,

we excuse you for not putitng up your blog today after having been knackered. Thanks for great ceremony. You are one hell of a guy who manages to make poeple laugh like hell and cry at the same time ……a rare quality in a person. Just 25 days to go for my Splendor cruise on 6th August and the family is really looking forward to seeing you and having a great time laughing and laughing and laughing.

Cheers mate …….. and a great ceremony

Hi John,
Thanks so much for the videos! We love them! I don’t comment everyday, but I do check in with you and Carl reads every line as well. He fills me in on whats going on before I get to my computer, and lets me know when you have a video. He also keeps tabs on the webcams for the Splendor now and lets me know whats going on there and where you are a couple of times a day. Makes me feel like we are right there with you.

It’s only 211 days now until the Bloggers Cruise. I can hardly wait. I am so ready for a vacation! And there is Nothing I enjoy more than vacationing on a Carnival ship with all my blogging family!!!

You are the best John! Carnival should pay you double for all you do!

Knackered is a great word. I am sure that you and all of the crew are very knackered, and you still have to clean up the mess for the cruise.

Thank you so very much for including us in this beautiful ceremony. Like many other bloggers comments that I have read I too had tears when the naval officer struck the bottle on the hull of the Splendor. God bless the Splendor and God bless John Heald and all who sail upon her.

Great choice Lauren, but Bee is not going on the 2nd bloggers cruise she said. Doesn’t it have to be one of the Princesses that will be on the Bloggers cruise?

Great post. Even though we weren’t there it still seemed like we were with the coverage online. GREAT JOB.

Thanks for thinking of us.

I am thinking that we should have a christening ceremony for John Heald on the Blogger’s Cruise. I am certain that the Mrs. could make a christening gown – either that, or we simply rent a circus tent for the day

Pleased to see/hear/read that you are having a good opening for the Carnival Splendor. One question that deserves reply – has the winner of the Spa naming contest sailed yet? If not, I hope you are going to highlight them when they do sail.

John,

While I missed reading the blog, the video was touching. Remembering us on the name day was very special.
What a wonderful idea, a naming ceremony on the Bloggin cruise. So many surprises you seem to be planning.

Thank Stephanie for all her hard work, she did a terrific job.

And thank you to you for being the caring, humorous person you are. Hope you can get a little rest now that the ceremony is over.
