Just completed the Carnival Dream's first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean with Master Quierolo at the helm. It was a terrific voyage on a beautiful ship! My son and I had the opportunity to teach ballroom dancing lessons, as just one of the many entertainment activities offered to the passengers. After many years of cruise traveling, this "Dream" trip turned out to be the BEST! Congratulations to Captain Carlos Queirolo for his great career of service and this prestigious appointment!

As usual Carnival lived up to my every expectation without being overly fancy or pretentious. My thanks to Captain Quierolo and his wonderful crew for making our time onboard truly memorable! One question though - I hope I am not out of line asking this or causing any embarrasment. In Ocho Rios we observed a rather large dent in the stern just at or right above the waterline. Can you give me any insight as to what happened there? Thanks again for a great vacation. I will be back! Dear Captain Quierolo and nice people of the Freedom:

I've been a home-based travel agent for 13 years. My husband and I cruised on the Carnival Victory, around April, 2001 (I think). You were the fantastic cruise director who made our vacation one of the best we've ever had. Today I received an invitation from CLIA to nominate people from the cruise line industry to their Hall of Fame, so I nominated you as a member at large. I just thought some other people reading this might like to nominate you, as well. You deserve to be recognized in a special way for the way you make everyone's cruise such an enjoyable experience and for your many years of service to the cruise line industry. Well, good luck. I hope you get more than just my vote! Yvonne Patterson Shamrock Travel Middlefield, Ohio Hi, John.
