I used to work for Thoushalnotbenamed of the seas and after two contracts with them decided I didn't agree with how some of the people in the office ran things. (budget issues, equipment in diss-repair, sketchy contract issues, etc....) I always enjoyed catching your blog when I was at the internet cafe because I loved seeing how you viewed life at sea and reading about the times you have had. Also lets face it guests can be funny. I always enjoyed the silly questions "What time is the midnight buffet?" was always one of my favorites. I have been home for about 7 months and I am excited to say that I will be joining the Carnival Freedom on Aug 30th as the Lighting Technician. I chose to apply to Carnival solely based on your blog and how much you seem to enjoy working for them. I hope we have a chance to meet, work, and maybe catch a drink together.Your friend at sea,Sean Norby Dear John,

The last time we were on the Triumph was one of your last shows (before you and Heidi were married), I am so happy that you did not stay in retirement. The last cruise we were on was the Victory. I did soooo miss you, you are truely the Best (and now have something to compare you to). I booked the Splendor as soon as I could, but space filled up fast and the soonest we could get 12 cabin was December 13 - 20, I was hoping to see you on the Cruise.Thank you for the great entertainment!

Thanks! I would have loved to see Def Leppard on a cruise. Oh well! Keep the blogs coming. I appreciate it and i know things can get frustrating at times. Hence why we love reading it so much since we don't know what to expect. Take care! David HI John/heidi:

I can report first hand you are reading too much into blog text...yes the Baltic schedule is hectic yet an absolute wonder at the same time. Traveling through several time zones each and every 12 days certainly pose a challenge to all aboard...but the crew on this ship deserves tremendous kudos for their great spirit and attitude which travels from the top down. I found John and Heidi to be in terrific form even when an occasional guest e.g. Mrs. S. Nob stretches your soul and patience to the limit...I'm not a medical professional, but reasonably sure John is ok.

It is so rare to encounter a person who is so well suited to his profession. I agree that the passenger make-up will be different in Europe, but I have no doubt that you will be able to deal the different personalities -- just as you always have! John, you are wonderful!
