These urns were developed to stop the cremated remains from being windswept and blown back into the mourners. These urns are 100% biodegradable (green) and melt as they are tossed or placed in the water. The cremated remains are then dispersed by rolling waves. I am a licensed funeral director and embalmer of 29 years and would be happy to provide you and/or Carnival more information on this product in an effort to accomadate the needs of your passengers. Mike John,

We had 18 of us on the ship and we really enjoyed every port of call. I do have a question for you and hope you can help me out. My wife and I had a thingy of our own on September 4th. We went on the cruise last week and we obviously could not bring the baby. Well by the end of our week my wife was suffering from missing the thingy so much. We knew we were booked on the February Bloggers cruise and knew it was close to the minimum age allowed on the cruise which I know now is 6 months. Which we miss by 3 weeks and a couple of days. On the ship we talked to the loyalty rep. and she informed us that she did not think that it would be a problem but check with our travel agent and have them contact Carnival to see if it would be. Well we came home and did just that and we are being told by whoever our travel agent spoke with that Carnival makes no exceptions. If the reasoning is liability I am willing to have my Pediatrician give a physical and sign that the baby is healthy enough to travel and my sister who is booked on the same cruise will be along and she has worked in the special care nursery as an LPN for the last 25 years. Please let me know if there is any string you can pull to get this done. Please email me at the address above your answer. Thanks PS I am the one in Philly with the Pinata that had to get his mom from the tent after the commercial shoot. Thanks again in advance if there is anything you can do. John Please Reply

Have a small photo made of you and Heidi clearly showing Thingy...and have one made like that each year. Buy Heidi a little ornament into which you slide the picture. It will be so much fun to look at it each year and slide the new family picture in on top of it.Thank you for the Dream blog - it looks fabulous. Although what could top 7 days in Sept. '08 with Butch on the Glory? Enjoyed his blog very much. Keep writing, Yah Butch! Janet Gary and I send you warm wishes for the merriest of Christmases.

I last saw you on the Liberty several years ago, and I loved you you are so funny. Do you remember Willie Banger?! Let me know if you won't be on the Splendor what ship and sail dates next?
