Mrs. Captain Rude is the one who should be congratulated for putting up with his obnoxiousness for so long. If anyone deserves to sit at the ship captain's table, it's Robert and Suzann Schneider. By the way, I looked it up. They are on their 45th cruise (over 14 years). I have an idea: seat Mrs. Captain Rude (sans Mr. Obnoxious), Robert and Suzann Schneider at Captain Pagano's table and make Mr. Captain Rude sit at the "card table" with the other brats. He doesn't deserve adult company. Oh, and feed him airline food. That, he deserves! So Mr. Captain Rude was celebrating his 42nd anniversary.

Those pictures of the Amsterdamn are locks are so amazing. I can't get over the margin of error that the ship has to deal with. Thanks for another great blog and hope things are going ok. Take care!

Feel free to slip my reply under Captain Rude's door...Last March my husband (Also an Airline Captain of 30 years) my two kids and I took my parents (paid 100% by us) on the beautiful, spectacular Carnival Freedom for a wonderful week (it was your last week aboard).What I never told you or even considered informing you or the captain was that my parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary!!!! You see, we are not flamboyant, self centered people that believe our parents are the only ones to have ever celebrated their 50th anniversary on one of your magnificent ships! Spending time together is all we needed or expected. Perhaps Mr. Rude has to feed his ego or mend his relationship with his wife with outside attention...good luck Mr. Rude!Airline Captains are simply glorified bus drivers these days. My husband is a fabulous pilot that never once introduces himself as "captain". He loves his job and is grateful to have been with the same airline for 30 years. However, he knows that if he someday can't fly the airplane, someone else can and will. Wow! Feel free to slip my reply under Captain Rude’s door…

Rude, Mrs. S Nob and the Mortician were put here on earth to make us appreciate the rest of the folks around us! I'm sorry to hear so many seem to come your way! Shawn is a WONDERFUL CD! She was on the Spirit when we went to the Mex Riv this past March and she was awesome. I was a little disappointed when she said she was leaving the Spirit since we were planning on booking it for Alaska. I was however happy to read all your interviews with other people (like Bubba) who are crew members and CDs and the like. I'm starting to think that Carnival just doesn't hire any people that aren't awesome! Mike John, I think that people like Capt.
