Little behind in posting this - just wrapping up a busy booking season so playing catchup with the blog now! Anyway, in reference to Agent Angry who gets a free ride with Carnival while yelping the praises of another line - as a travel agent I am embarassed to be of the same profession! Please pass onto the VP on sales, that I am one agent that loves Carnival to bits and if they are looking for someone to take for a ride (especially at the free pricetag!), I am a very willing volunteer!!

Mr. Angry should only be allowed to sell to Obnoxious of the Seas clients--he is underserving of the benefit Carnival gave him. Don't worry about the thingy being smart--in today's world they are all smarter than we are at age 4! Hope your back feels better before you have that flight back to London. Sorry about your back.

I said you should jump ship and go over there everyone would be happier. Sorry to hear about your back been there done that. We have never cruised the west coast yet but are thinking very serious about it. If Carnival wants someone on any ship to brag about a great cruise line I only need a small room to change and get cleaned up, will sleep up on deck. Hope your back gets better.

I was 42 when my bundle of energy was born 6 years ago (today!) and my husband was 44. We so much love him and think everything he does is just wonderful. Will he be the next Einstein? I doubt it, unless somehow Pokemons are involved in the Theory of Relativity. All we want is for him to be happy, healthy and a professional football player who will buy us a cruise 3-4 times a year and a condo some place sunny! (I do think we will settle for just happy and healthy though!) You will be a fantastic dad because you approach everything with humor and love. (except for the French!)

Hubster has a beard and I love it! Been there done that with the back pain. You probaby did injury it when the bed fell. I myself see a chiropractor for my back. They do help. I hope you feel better soon. If you can...I know how you hate massages, but if you can get one, you want a deep tissue one to relieve the muscles in your back, followed by a dip in the hot tub. thanks for the appology for the beards!

So glad you like my city, L.A. Like every big city, it has it's good and bad areas, but you learn to stay out of the bad areas and you never have problems. Having been born here - second generation - and lived here since 1957 - most of my adult life - I have never been harmed or felt in any danger. It's all the misconception of the movies and tv. And you are here when the weather couldn't be nicer. I feel so bad about that stupid TA. He must be like some of the TA's I've met - never been on a cruise and has no concept of what fun - and what you can and cannot do in port and elsewhere. And to bite the hand that feeds him, what a jerk. I am so looking forward to December when I will meet you on BC4. I promise to be nice on board. Take care. John.

New Ship, New Year, so why not a new itinerary for the Gulf Coast? In November Mobile is getting a ship to replace the Holiday. We've sailed on her 5 times, the 6th will be next month. Yes, we are going to miss her, but we hope with the new ship will come a new port or two. A good itinerary would be to sail to from Mobile to Cozumel, to Key West, than back to Mobile; or to Key West and Jamaica etc... Just a thought, please respond New Itinerary for the West Coast – Fantastic!
