I've just returned to my travel agency having been on the 3 day Amsterdam cruise...yes, it takes a long time to get from Dover back to Scotland!! I had tried to say hello to you and introduce myself onboard but never managed to catch you, you are one hell of a busy guy! However, I was delighted to see myself in the backgrond of your video blog (the one with the French women!) and you said 'hello love' to me so I feel in a way we did indeed meet! And you are right, a lot of the travel agents onboard made a mockery out of the Open Bar card, I felt very selfconscious using it onfront of the 'real' guests....although at 4 months pregnant at least I wasn't ordering ridiculous amounts of alcohol! And thank you for giving us a giggle when we were waiting to get off the ship in Amsterdam, fancy the port authorities only putting on 2 immigration guys to check our passports!!! And lastly, I just wanted to say what a laugh I got when watching the video that Lynn & her UK sales team put together for 'Hey Big Splendor' - what stars they are! I'll be logging on every day to see how things are going onboard and I hope to have some Scottish clients onboard with you soon. Well done again during the 3 day cruise, it was tough but you and the crew were amazing, take care.... your #1 Scottish fan xx Hi John

Nope. I'm still here. Just have a lot of things going on here in sunny FL. As you may remember I can't see so hearing your voice on the blog is great! I almost fell out of my chair when you found those people from France! Thanks so much for all the laughs. Keep em commin. Love to Heidi. Leasa Hi John,

Your written ones are fantastic. It was fun to watch you just go around and get people to participate in the video. Just popping open a door a saying hi and introducing the crew working. Let's see more areas of the ship. Thanks to everyone involved in getting these slapped on the world wide widget. The video blogs are great. Your written ones are fantastic.

Thanks for posting this. It seems like these keep getting better and better. I bet you're looking forward to things returning back to somewhat "normal" for you. As busy as things have been for you over the past 6-8 weeks, anything quiet is a good thing for you. FYI, Training camp is around the corner so you can get ready to start cheering for the Dallas Cowboys in the not-so-distant future. Thanks again for posting and looking forward to keeping in touch.

Makes me feel like I'm getting to peak at people and places I don't normally get to see. And how lucky(?) were you to be able to run into 2 French women? Don't worry about returning to a "normal" blog. Normal is all relative, and who of us has normal relatives. (Sorry, feeble attempt at humor here). We'll be here whether you're writing or just sending a quick clip. Love to you and Heidi. Princess Elaine, the quiet and single Hi John,

I was laughing at the nose holding with the French ladies – but the line about “you need your roots done” put me on the floor. Thank you John, Stephanie and Tom - Great Job! Maybe next video, Heidi can take us on a spa day!! Happy Sailing, Debs How brilliant this video is.
