Seems like its just a matter of time until its on its maiden voyage. Great pictures from Istanbul. Thanks for one of the best blogs yet. Hope everything else is going well. Take care!

Laughed so hard it hurts.

I too relate to your state of mind when sweet Heidi advised you that there is a lifetime for romance, but right now, you have work to do. Aber freilich. Noch einmal.

You are truly a good fit for Cruise Director:

Leader: Have to keep the team spirits up, what with the long hours, days on end.

Host: Guests with higher and higher expectations, have to deliver that perfect vacation experience.

Comedian: Humor for most of us creates that feel good situation.

Diplomat: How to defuse a tense situation. When tempers flare cooler heads must prevail.

Creative: Who knows what situations a ship at sea and the weather will create, have to make the best of everything.

Warmth: Most people can tell when someone truly has their best interests at heart, we feel this the way you say “Welcome Home”.

Salesmanship: The best Cruise Directors sell all facets of the cruise experience to the guests. The ability to see the wonders of the world with the most professional tour guides available at every port is the cruise industry’s ace in the hole. More tours taken means more satisfied customers.

John, please work on the triple grande bathrobes, I agree with Big Ed, the ones you have now are very nice, but kind of dainty. Hard to carry on when you can’t put your arms to your side, or in front of you, if you catch my drift. My wife knows what it feels like to have a closet land on her. Cheers Mate!

High Regards

I do hope that someday your second wish for adopting a child needing a loving family comes true. Meanwhile you can both practice on the little thingie. Have you picked any normal names yet? How dumb are those 20 odd people who booked a cruise and did not look into the excursions offered? Tough nuggies to them. They can now sleep on the bus and get a good rest. Great pictures as always, they make me want to jump on the next boat and travel. Soon! Wishing you all much happiness and I hope Heidi will have a much deserved vacation at home with the little thingie. Marie John, Heidi and Thingie:

We feel the ups and downs right there with you. We are very excited about the thingy in Heidi's tummy. We are humbled and honored that you shared all of your last year with us in regards to pre- baby times.In regards to the lady and her group that complained about their post cruise plans...Well ...that leaves me speechless! ( that is hard to do too!)The people who are on this cruise may or may not be glued together as a whole, but that is not a reflection on you. You get so many letters and comments saying how wonderful you are as a CD and a person. You have a right to be down once in a while...we all do, but, you need to look at what you have accomplished as a CD. Your record speaks for it's self. I knew who John Heald was before I had ever even stepped foot on a cruise ship. You are a wonderful person and a wonderful CD. Don't forget that.
