He is a great cruise director. You and he would make a great pair together. John – I was lucky enough to sail with Alastair three times on Princess. He is a great cruise director.

Thanks for posting. I also enjoyed the videos from Jacksonville and the pictures posted. I'd love to see more of these. These Italy stories are great and i look forward to hearing more. Good luck on the Grand Med cruise and stay warm. Hope everything else is going well. Take care! David Hi JOhn/Heidi:

One has heart problems and cruises because she likes to be with the rest of her friends and can do the shipboard dinners, casino, trivia, etc. but just gets too tired to go with us on excursions so she rests or sits by the pool or reads while we are gone. The other person I believe is just lazy and short on cash--spends all her cash on getting them to take her picture with the "green screen" and put her in the ports so she can go home and tell her family and other friends that she was there and that she did all these things she really didn't do.

I am a line dance instructor, and some of the people in our group enjoy line dance very much. I would like to find out if there are any line classes scheduled already so we can be more prepared? If not, I will be happy to organize some classes on the 3 long days at the sea. Please let me know what you think so I can bring some music, and let people in our group know. Email reply will be appreciated.Thanks! Kathy Dear John,

So, thank you for the photos of the places I missed! (SIGH) Maybe I'll get to go there again someday! Sue K (in Pittsburgh) Hey John:

I am doing the Victoria World Cruise next year and so it is great to read in advance so much about someone who will be playing such a large part in ensuring the Cunard guest experience during that voyage.You mentioned in an earlier blog that you were hoping to come aboard the QV again at some point - if it is during the World Cruise it really would be a pleasure to meet briefly the person who writes such entertaining and informative blogs each day. Please let me know.Best wishes,David Hi John,

I was first introduced to your blog by a mutual friend at the time you were writing about the building of the Queen Victoria, and I have been reading it ever since.

You mentioned in an earlier blog that you were hoping to come aboard the QV again at some point – if it is during the World Cruise it really would be a pleasure to meet briefly the person who writes such entertaining and informative blogs each day. Please let me know.

I was able to catch up today and I just want to let you know that although I have never met you, you seem like an amazing man who has had an impact on countless people. Please don't stop blogging. I know I have come to really enjoy reading it and your descriptions of the ports make me feel like I am there. John,
