My little girl Ashlie just adored you. (she's the one that showed you her report card at dinner) With all the requests for a John Bobblehead I just might have to list mine on ebay. Ashlie has already warned me not to touch hers. She loves it dearly and will not depart with it. Also maybe I need to try my luck selling the medallion Tex gave her since he told her it was a "magic" medallion and if she put it under her pillow that night she would have $20 bucks under there the next morning. If you talk to Tex, tell him he owes me $20 bucks. Thanks & best wishes to you, Heidi & baby. John, We had a great time on the Bloggers Cruise. My little girl Ashlie just adored you.

Love reading the rave reviews of both the ship and the voyage. It was great to be able to follow along. Jaime's letters are great and I look forward to reading more. I can understand the decision not to be on Europe in 2010. I am hopeful that things turn around so that 2011 is more favorable. I hope you are over your cold. Take care and good luck getting ready to head over to Valor. Thanks again! David Hi John!

You see, I couldn't wait on that long line, because I really had to go to the Ladies room very urgently before we all went to dinner, sorry!!! It seem a lot of the bloggers got that cold from somewhere! So John until we meet again, I will be waiting for that hug, a kiss, but NOT the cold.I had such a great time, and so did Ted. Thanks again to you and the Stephanies. Carnival, Big Tex, Al Ernst (who I talked to for afew only a few minutes, but seems to be a great guy), Louis Nixon. and Big Ed and Pat (Whoare pretty much the reason we were all able to get together on this wonderful vacation.). Heidi looked beautiful on the video. It was so fantastic finally getting to meet all the people that I had "talked" to over the internet for months, and months, and seeing those agian that we'd already met.

Can't wait to see you again later this year. My question is the same as Dave's, we missed out on purchasing the DVD and would love to have the opportunity to do so now.....We had to choose between so many conflicting activities that it would be nice to see some of those that we missed.While I thought the Fantasy and the Evolutions of Fun upgrades were great.......You'll have to count me among the people that prefer Conquest class ships.........It's been so long since I've been on one of the smaller ships that I felt almost like a newbie....I really missed the procession down the promenade as guests made there way to the larger aft dining room on the larger ships...... Fortunately for me and sister, the Conquest and her sister ships will be around for many years to come.Thanks again for a grand time (minus the head cold that struck around 2am Wednesday), but hey I get sick once a year anyway.... What better place to pick up a minor little sniffle......... John,

The Fantasy is an absolutely beautiful ship; the decor is fabulous.

John, it was great to get to know you even better by getting to spend a week with you and our fellow bloggers. It is truly one big family and we enjoyed meeting several new friends.

It was also fun to meet Al and Lewis and have a chance to spend time with them.

The video of Heidi and the phone call to her were really special.

We also loved all the wonderful gifts…from the mousepad to the bobblehead. They were all very nice.

Thank you again for a great vacation. We look forward to the NEXT bloggers cruise.

Is there a way for it to be offered for sale via the website? Someone said it went up for sale on the last day at around 8pm. Too much stuff was going on, it did not dawn on us to look.Dave Hi John,

With your choice of ship, locale and duration, you made the PERFECT choice. With each day the FUN just kept on expanding. The bar is set very high now but I'm sure you have a few things up your ample sleeve to make the next one great also. Coming to New Orleans with its 'joie de vivre' setting the tone and the intimacy of a smaller, mature vessel contributed greatly to all of the things others have expressed over the days we were all together.My first cruise was on the Festivale in 1993 and the two things I remember most from that one was the bartender on Lido apologizing for not having Red Stripe, probably my fault!, on the last seaday. The other was not making any of the parties some friends of a guy named Bill who threw a party every morning in the library. Finally ran into them a few years later and I fit right in. They do know how to party. You can thank them for my entry in the 'Nightgown' contest.Sallie and I are lookung forward to seeing you paddle the Pride into Baltimore harbor in the spring. Here's hoping they can bring her all of the way in to turn her about.Until then may you all have fair winds and smooth sailing.To quote the BEST Maitre'd in the fleet,"Thank you.
