Its not a small company. Nice interview today. Seems like things are progressing nicely for you. Glad to hear things are going well. FYI, i'm terrible about asking for directions when i'm lost. Big shocker :) Great to hear from you. Thanks, David Hi John/Heidi:

I KNOW I will be totally lost and helpless.Please arrange for a handsome, single crew-man to be my escort, for my safety of course! I'd hate to walk the wrong way or have other direction problems. I'd hate to miss a meal or show or opportunity to gamble. Or find my cabin...Thank you!!! You are very kind!! LambiePS... The photos are outstanding!! John…

I dropped my BIL & Family at the dock and they boarded busses for Mobile. Carnival has been all over our New Orleans news with positive comments from bus traveling cruisers. It wasn't perfect but Carnival did a great job. I know Big Tex, maybe "Lesser Tex" by now will step up too and give them a Southern welcome. Hi John,

As Americans, all eight have sailed from the good ole USA, Florida, Alaska, and New York. I am a New Yorker by birth but a Floridian by choice. We are looking forward to our first European cruise but are quite anxious, as we come to grips with whether or not we will be able to understand you Brits. You know youze guys talk funny. Let me give you a little lesson in New York talk so that you can communicate a bit better with us Yankees. "Jeet jet, no ju, no not jet, twirly" This translates to " Did you eat yet? no not yet, did you, no too early" You get it? ah fuggedaboutit. (forget about it). watsamatta (what is the matter?) We promise not to talk like you, if you promise not to talk like us. Yankees fish with poles and we knit with yarn and needles. Feathers come from birds, and aluminum foil is just that, aluminum foil. Floridians have been known to catch frogs with a little red cloth material attached to the end of the hook. Do y'all (you) eat frog legs?? Anyway, we are so excited about the Splendor, getting lost in all her glory for the first few days, (and unlike Mrs. Lost in Space we will find our way through trial and error.) What better way to learn about this magnificent vessel and our home for 12 days. We are looking forward to having a wonderful time and of course meeting you. We look forward to, and read your blog daily.We'll see you in three weeks.Friends you haven't met yet, Mike and Janette Dear John,

Just put a Carnival Ship in the Great Lakes like I suggested a long time ago. There are many possible ports of call cities around the Great Lakes.BIG ED VP Carnival Great Lake Tours John, You said ” This is something to stop and think about…….is there anywhere in the world that during one year our ships don’t visit?………….not many……………I could only think of Southend on Sea, Somalia and Ohio” Well I can fix the Ohio part of it.

And the picture of Kat...well I can guess she isn't talking to you on the phone about a problem with your laptop. LOL I think half the fun is getting lost on the ship and learning your way around. That is one quick way to meet friends is to get lost with them! As to the question where my next cruise is taking me...all I can say is NO on the blogger's cruise. So who really cares where that ship is going...it will be a great cruise! Hedi blog, Hedi blog, Hedi blog!!! Princess SusanHi Stephanie John,

Thank you for posting the interview about Kat. I had written a few weeks ago asking if you could interview one of your shipboard I/S officers. I have had a phone interview with Carnival Corporate about this position a while back, and hope that I will have the chance to get a second interview, and hopefully be able to do the same thing that she is.I appreciate the listing of what she does since the bios on Carnival's web site were written up a few years ago, and some of the technology has changed.Very interesting. indeed.Also, as an I/S person, thank you for showing your appreciation for another person who works in I/S. I am sure that she loves the work as much as I do, and the recognition is, as you know, what makes it all worth while.While I don't leave comments, I do greatly enjoy your postings.Sincerely,Mark Pennington John please read.
