I've tried post a couple times in the last week or so and my comments seem to keep disappearing into cyberspace so I hope this is the one!Nice interview with Capt. Scala! I sailed with my family on the Pride in 2003 with him and we had a chance to talk him at one of the cocktail parties. Very nice guy. I commented on the blog on Feb. 4th with a question but it spent 4 days awaiting moderation and then just disappeared! Isn't cyberspace fun!Anyways, just a quick question about the Spendor. My Fiancee & I are getting married on board on April 26th and we've booked a DJ for the reception. I have asked the girl that is in charge of weddings for the ship but she isn't technologically inclined and hasn't been able to answer. Can we bring our wedding/reception music on an iPod or does it have to be on CD? If it's a CD can it be in MP3 format or does it have to be a regular audio format? I don't know where the ceremony will be but the reception will be in the Red Carpet Dance Lounge, I don't know if that info helps. Thanks so much for looking into this for me John! I really appreciate it. :) Only 73 more days! All the best to you, Heidi and the Thingy! ~Andrea Hi John (please reply),

I agree with you that Captain Scala was a remarkably visible and personable part of the voyage. Though I had nothing to compare him to, other than Capt. Steubing on "The Love Boat", my 2 well-seasoned traveling companions made exactly the same comments regarding his high visibility and his warm, friendly demeanor. I wish him a wonderful vacation at home with his family, and all the best on his next ship.As a first-time cruiser, I have to tell you what an amazing experience I had. The Fantasy was immaculately clean, the food was delicious, the bands were great, the comedy was funny, and the final night's show was amazing! Music Manilla (in the bar, on the deck, and in their Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band uniforms) were outstandingly great fun.Carnival has won me over. I'll definitely be cruising again, and I'll be checking out your thingy for comments and suggestions for future cruises!Robin Hi John,

I'm sorry hearing about your cold. Be careful it doesn't change into something worse so drink a lot of liquids and rest. I know that many bloggers will probably ask you so I will also. When, will it be possible for the rest of us bloggers to find a way to get bubble you. I think it is adorable and I really want one. The videos have been great. Congratulations for those that are involved with creating them. Once again John, take good care of yourself.Paul F. Pietrangelo Good evening John. I’m sorry hearing about your cold.
