Fantatsic John. I just love the two videos. It’s nice to know about a captain of a Carnival ship but I enjoyed even better the video on Cozumel. It looks like you guys are really enjoying life. Why I really like it more is because you showed real people that are names that show up on the blog and now I get a chance to see and hear from them. Thanks John.

Thanks, John, my favorite cruise director, for taking the time out of all that fun to do a video and give us a take on the bloggers cruise. May I never miss another one – this is suffering to not be there. And thanks for showing my Krewe leader, Big Ed – a really great guy.
Miss you more and you can compare it to how much you miss sweet Heidi and the thingy.
Really.

John,
Where is the thong? You wore one on your Birthday in Ocho Rios last year at the Blogger’s Beach Party. Of course that was after several Rum Punches!! WooHoo! Yeah Mon!

Hi John!
Thanks for posting the videos for those of us who cannot attend.
Loving Mr. BillZydeco’s pictures and think the bobbleheads are absolutely fabulous. You should put a link up on the site and start selling those.
What a great trip everyone is having.
Thanks again and look forward to hearing more.
Take care!

Dear John
I had to write and tell you, my parents just got back from an NCL cruise and they reckon your double is a comedian on the Jade! His name is Lenny Windsor, and my mum at first thought you were moonlighting for a rival company
She even says he shares your sense of humour.
While talking about other cruise lines though, it does seem a bit harsh to keep saying you have to pay for a steak on RCL ships : my parents cruised with them in December, and insist that there is a steak on the normal dining room menu as an alternative to the a la carte every night. You pay a nominal charge if you eat at Portofino’s, just as we do at the Supper Clubs, but you can get a free steak if you want one on RCL and NCL, in fairness.
Cheers
Jane
Thansk for the videos and YES we too wish we were on the beach with everyone…missing you all…have a GREAT time.
Cheers, Ray & Deb
Awesome update John! I was on the Fantasy in 02 and it is crazy to see how much has changed. Thanks for the update!
Hi John,
I’ve been updating all along, but here is my Blogger’s web page through Chef Kevin demo this morning…

Of course, I am with Marlene, we miss you all. So glad you have fun in the sun, and reminded of the dolphin swim with Big Ed last December! LOL with you guys.
Love,
Kap
Hi everyone!
We’re having a terrific time on the Fantasy with John. It is our last night (sigh), but fond memories will remain forever.
Speaking of memories…check out this ‘manshow’ of manly bloggers dressing in women’s pjs.. Scary man!

Great VIDEO’s JOHN !!!! THANK YOU !!!
Dear John
Please reply.
Hope Heidi and the thinging (bump) are ok sending are love.
I was wondering if you could help me.
What is the best way of getting a job on a cruise ship. I love working with children and have been teaching them how to swim for 14 years and other sports and games for 6 years of those years aswell. I have seen a lot of places to look at on the web but dont know where to start.
I have been on a number of cruises and loved it. I understand that living on one is very different but would love to give it ago.
Thank you for your time.
All the best
from
Jess
Ps Love the blogg been following for ages now. Keeps making me laugh.
Hi John:
Here I am doing catch-up on your blog and I have to make a comment on the Mexican ruins in Cozumel. We learned on one of our cruises that the ruin was more easily called “Chicken and Pizza.” The name stuck for us and became a fun way of remembering it.
