wow…it is was so neat to put some faces to the Cruise Critic faces! I am jealous that you all got to be there in Dallas…but I have to save my vacation for my B2B in 35 days!
John,
thanks for the meet and greet of the bloggers today in Dallas.
Julie, who upgraded to a 9A balcony on the Freedom!! Whoo hoo! My first 9A, my first B2B and all on Carnival, the best cruiseline in the World!
I am so happy to have just spent the afternoon with you cross country, I am in Florida, and you in Texas, but felt like I was right there with you! What a fantastic day it has been! Can’t wait till the 2009 Guiness book comes out so I can see the pictures of the biggest beach ball, and hopefully the biggest pinata as well in the book. I buy the book for Mike every year. You all did a fantastic job today, thanks to you ALL, especially to Stephanie and you John! The video’s were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Great to be able to blog back and forth with our other blogger buddies too! Thank you for bringing us all along for the ride! Linda & Mike

Oh John, so nice to see you meeting all those nice people in Dallas.
Can’t wait till the Bloggers Cruise in Feb. Jeanette and I are tuning up for the talent show.
Ciao, Kathleen
What a great day in Dallas with Carnival. We got to meet a lot of fellow bloggers at 9AM and then John came by and took the time to visit with every person there. Everyone enjoyed Live Music, Free Hot Dogs, Kettle Corn, Ice Cream, Carnival Water and T-shirts for all. Several entertainers walked through the crowd entertaining us. I hope everyone enjoyed the live video that was being shared around the world. At 1:00PM we walked to Elm Street that was closed, for us to play with two (2) thirty five foot diameter beach balls in downtown Dallas. Carnival set a new world record for the largest beach ball, a film crew was everywhere filming and I guess we will see some great footage on Carnival Commercials in the near future. The day ended with John giving away Five (5) free Penthouse Suite Cruises on the Ecstasy and then Brenda the Polecat and I helped officially send John back home missing his tie after we formally cut it off. Carnival wanted him looking refined and respectable and we wanted him to join the fellow Texas Bloggers from Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Wichita Falls, and the Dallas/Fort Worth area, along with a few that drove down from Oklahoma, to feel cool and comfortable. Brenda and I also gave him a University of Texas Longhorn cap and told him to watch them win another college American Football National Championship . Thanks to Carnival, John, Stephanie and all of the Carnival staff that invited and hosted hundreds of us to one heck of a free party
John,
We had a great time today, and I will remember to tell Ralph your comment, when we get on the Conquest Sunday 11/2/08.
When Texas Tech beats the University of Texas this Saturday, in Americancollege football, I will send you a Texas Tech hat. Then you can burn the longhorn cap.
I had a blast today but they wouldn’t let me play ball cause I’m only 13
. What ship will you be on in July 09? That’s the next cruise I want my Nana to take me on.

John and the rest of the CCL gang:
It was an amazing time to be at breakfast with the bloggers and John.
Thank you so much for putting this on.
John-It was great to finally meet you in person and I hope that we are able to do it again soon.
Congrats on the record!
David
John:
Thank you for such a FUN party in Dallas and for taking time to spend with us Cruise Critic folks. You are adorable! You and Carnival sure know how to throw a party – on sea AND on land!
It is nice to see some faces of fellow bloggers/ CruiseCritics. Really enjoyed watching the live feed yesterday. I was waving back at you and jumped when I saw Lambie dancing with the ’scots’. Of course I had to wait until someone pointed her out as I have never met her.
John
Thanks for a wonderful day! Got to meet some new friends and see some old ones too all while celebrating The World’s Largest Beach Ball!
John,
So did you get your non-stop flight to New Orleans?
Hey, it was fun hanging out with you in Dallas. I had a ball (yes – pun intended)! I think you should have the video of you and me on your blog. How could you not have the two best looking guys at Carnival on your blog????
Take care…see you soon in the office!
Loved the Video!!!!!Reminds of Cruise Fun!!!!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful time yesterday. We had fun meeting new friends and sharing our cruise stories.
John, Stephanie and all the wonderful Carnival crew you did a great job. We appreciate all you do everyday and certainly all the work you did yesterday.
John, Brooke loves her gold ship on a stick. I gave it to her when she woke up from her nap. She kept it with her the rest of the day and wouldn’t put it down. She got popcorn, ice cream and a ship on a stick – she was a happy little girl.
God Bless You, John!!!
God Bless Stephanie!!!
I can’t think of a better cruise EVER!!! I loved Sunday!!! Land cruisin’ with Bloggers!!! OUTSTANDING!!!!
