It does indeed give a us a daily dose of humor along with fascinating looks at the doings aboard the ship we all wish we were on. It reminds me of the jingle played on the old Candid Camera TV show-", it's fun to laugh at yourself, it's a healthy thing to do. It's fun to look at yourself as other people do!" (I think those are the right lyrics.) Your blog is priceless. As for those who don't find it their cup of tea-why are they reading it? And, if Mr. Prudence didn't like the showgirl costumes, perhaps he should spend next vacation handing out bingo cards down at the nursing home. Many thanks for the nice thing you had Bubba do for Randy on the Spirit. It made her day and mine. Can't wait to see them both in Hawaii in 2 weeks! Pat Dear John,

Oh, and I wanted to ask you if you were going to post the Cruise Director schedule for next summer…?

It’d be great to have you as a CD… if I can completely convince my parents that we should go on a cruise… again… or, if you can’t be the cruise director on my next cruise, perhaps… Ryan Ryan Dandelion? (I had him last cruise and he made it very fun.)

Anyways, I’m happy to hear that you’re going to keep blogging. I enjoy reading it and get a nice chuckle every now and then.

Some people just need to relax. I am sorry that it upset you and i can see why you would be annoyed. That is a cool pic of the Cunard front. Very unique. Thanks for another interesting blog today. Enjoy sharing your new-found celebrity status with your buddy Tara. Take care. Thanks! David Hi John/Heidi:

Don't let the haters get you down, they are just jealous because you have a more sparkeling personality than they do! Love the part about bounding up and acting like a dog! Totally Priceless! I know that dealing with cranky people who are too busy complaining about the costumes that the showgirls are wearing isn't easy. Maybe you should point out that they can see the same thing on TV or in a magazine in the check out line at Wal-Mart. Being a travel agent (who loves selling Carnival Cruises and sailing on a Carnival Cruise ship) we deal with the public all the time; so I understand the position that you are in more often than not! Keep up the good work John, don't quit the blogging and tell Carnival to start giving you "hazzard pay" for all you have to put up with! XX OO ...RRG109 a travel agent in Oklahoma!

Someone obviously was dissatisfied with something. Could you please contrast that with my party of six, who had an absolutely fabulous time and never bothered Butch except to say hello every once in a while? For eveyone who seeks you out there are probably more than six of us just cruisin' along. Haha. John, I am behind on reading your blog following a terrific cruise on the 9/13 Glory eastern run.

John,

I’m just catching up after the weekend, and was distressed to read that my daily blog fix being withdrawn was even being considered.

I think the fact that the number of comments on this post is probably well over double the usual tells its own tale.

I think Linda is on to something in her post – A bit more vetting and moderation would probably do no harm at all.

Your blend of humour, information and observation is damn near perfect, and speaking as a broadcast news journalist, I must say you are one of the best writers I’ve encountered in a long time.

We have a very succicent phrase here on the Emerald Isle – **** the begrudgers!!!!!!!

Just ignore them

Donal.

I come home exhausted...much to tired to get on the computer. Please , please do not stop the blog. It is my lifeline to Carnival. John, I am sure you remember Amanda and the note she wrote you prior to our getting off the Splendor. She often asks me if I have been able to check the blog and what is happening on the ship. It keeps her connected also. Do not let a few negitive comments stop the blog! Most of us are totally devoted to it. Promise I will try to do better! Ruth Ok John,
