We cruised with you on our first cruise on the Sensation in 01/1995. We have cruised a couple of other times on Carnival and have often wondered if you were still a cruise director with them. My girlfriends and I shared a drink or two with you in one of the clubs back then and have photos to prove it!! We are looking at cruising again in the fall. My PVP has suggested the Carnival Liberty. When looking at the pictures, it doesn't appear the pool area has been updated with the beautiful new amenities. Do you know if there are any plans for renovations of this ship in the near future? We have been on the Sensation, Valor, and Triumph.Thanks for any help you can provide and happy cruising! I would love to cruise on a ship with you as the CD again! You were absolutely fantastic and amazing! John,

I am sure you are missing Heidi and Thingy terribly...but not too long now...and you will get to see them both! Can't wait to see pics of your little Thingy! Just curious, will it be a girl thingy or a boy thingy? I am sure that either will delight you! Thanks for the pics of our Fantasy! She was my first you know, and Ecstasy was my second! I have a question or maybe a suggestion?? Maybe it is just me, but as far as the pool ladders go, I think it would be a good idea if on the top of the bars that you hold onto to get in and out of the pool that they put some kind of grip on them. One time when I was going down the ladder, my hand slipped down..fast...and my whole body flipped around and slammed against it. It did hurt! I am always a little nervous when I get in and out of pool now. I think some kind of grip at the top would be great! What do you think? Hey, remember you are only as old as you feel!!! You know how some women lie about their age. I think they do it wrong though. They usually say they are younger than they are . Me....if I did lie about it...I would say an older age...then they would say .... you look young for your age! See you in SIX days!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!SEA YA! CRUZN John, please reply if you can

We were 2 hours late loading, Carnival said because of fog? The Captin said it was because of a problem with the engine. 3 hours late arriving in Cozumel. 1 hour late leaving Calica, 3 hours late arriving in Mobile. The food at it's best was poor. Tory is a great cruise director. This was are 4th cruise with Carnival and I guess we are just spoiled after being on the Conquest I just returned from a trip on the JUNKPILE

I was posted in Afghanistan and just as you say Skype to Skype is free and you can even have a local phone number to give to your friends so they can call your computer, for a fee of course. You'll have to speak to your IT chaps on the ship. They have your access to programs like Skype restricted for business purposes I am sure. The hotels do the same thing. No fees for phone service cuts into that bottom line...LOL! See you in a few days! As for that age thing, having past 50, I can tell you you are no where close! LOL! Hey John,

We sailed with him on Conquest in 2005 on a hurricane-impacted cruise, and he was great. Dream is in good hands.We just learned this past week that our son Dan has been accepted to the US Merchant Marine Academy. Our Feb 14 cruise on Glory will likely be our last Carnival cruise with him (although he certainly has a lot of time on the sea ahead of him!) He'd love to meet an officer to talk about his future career on the sea - is there any way to arrange it? The cabin number is 7321. Many thanks! John – Please reply

Don't even begin to think that way. My life is great. My first 8 working years I was a high school grad technician. At 25 my wife and 2 kids moved to a university town. Five years later we left there with me having BS and MS degrees in engineering. I had a 14 year career in engineering practice.At age 45 I completed a doctorate in engineering and started a new career in academia. Now at age 70, I am going to retire in May but I still have a lot of life ahead, just doing things I want to do.There are gong to be many other new things that I will be doing over the next 15 to 25 years. At 70 (well just a bit shy of that age), I am still not old and don't expect to be for a while.Go John! You are one in a million and I hope to be on another cruise with you some day.ILLINIHOG Old in your 40′s! Don’t even begin to think that way. My life is great.
