I think the commercial is going back to the Carnival we fell in love with! Simple, friendly and FUN! Our first cruise with Carnival was on the, okay I'll do it, the CARNIVAL Fantasy. It was a cruise package with a small theater group from here in North Carolina. They rode the buses with us, performed the first night for us, and the seas were so rough that I thought they were going to join the audience, LOL! We loved the Fantasy then but from the pictures it is better than it was by far. I do remember me walking with that chair stick to my back side. I didn't think you were on that cruise! See you next Saturday for all the Evil fun! Hey John,

Could you please have someone from Carnival Corporation speak to the Vacation Interchange Privileges program and what benefits those of us who have achieved Platinum status on Carnival would receive should we choose to sail on another line?2. Can you please get updated information on the smoking policy aboard Cunard ships? The information on their website is out of date, as it mentions the QE2 and makes no mention of the Queen Victoria.As you might be able to infer from my questions, I am seriously considering a Cunard voyage - specifically a transatlantic crossing.

We have sailed her 8 times...next week will be our 4th time....since October.LOVE the Wall of Fame. DJ will have to look and see if his last 3 pictures are up there.

We know that Iman finished her contract shortly after we left earlier this month. Thanks!!Be sure to give Michael H. a listen in the Promenade.

She and the Sensation have been my favorites over the years (having cruisede on the 2 of them a combined 16 times, out of 23 cruises) so you can see where my loyalties lie. I just love the small ships as they are truely a way to get to know your neighbor anad table mate.I am amazed as you are of the changes you have shown so far, I remember the old chairs along the promanade and the old "coffee Lounge" that never served coffee, but seem to be a place where the casino staff would hide during there breaks.The other area I think I might like is the new lobby bar. I loved the ones on the Spirt class they are another place to just hang out and watch the world go by. But I would think that it would get a might crowed there when the pursers office and the shore desk are open. as I recall that area was small as it was...... I look forward to the other area you are going to be show casing in the comming days. keep up the good work. you are truely the Ambasador of Carnival cruise lines.Hi to Heidi and Stephine,Capt Bill < land locked for the for seeable future Hi John,
