Make sure you take small bills or change to the hospital with you for the soda/snack machines. When my daughter was born (on a Sunday) I couldn’t find a diet coke anywhere. Ended up at a soda machine in the basement. If I hadn’t been hording dollar bills, I would be a thirsty, tired, new daddy.

Just a quick note…..

it is great that you will take the time to assist in small matters that “pop” up with us cruisers…..

however, I have always hoped that this Blog would be light hearted and fun and not become a substitute for the well staffed Guest Relations Department that Carnival already has.

It seems (as of late) that it has been more about doing the Guest Relations job than chatting about cruising. The Blog seems to want to take that turn every so often….and we have to “redirect: it.

Folks, use the Carnival Guest Relations Department…that is what they are there for.

I understand the small questions that you answer for those of us who follow your Blog, but please refer major complaints (especially from other forums from total strangers) directly to Guest Relations.

Thanks!

It’s been way too long for me to finally get to read your blog thingy. I am having back/sciatica trouble and am even using a cane now. Hopefully I can leave it at home in November on the Dream. I am also getting grief from Simon Legree on the time off I’ve been taking. I just try to ignore him.
But I’m glad to be back. Happy Easter. Heidi, how are you? Still glowing? Are you glowing too John?

JOHN, Please reply when you get a chance: After skimming over the past few posts, I saw the “AnyTime Dining” mentioned for the Dream. Is that definite, or just a possibility? Also I haven’t gone back a few weeks so I don’t know if you answered my previous question – but should I change my dining preference to early sitting on the Bloggers’3 Cruise?

Thanks for the photos of the Spirit. My sister and brother-in-law just booked an Alaskan cruise for July on her. I’m gonna tell her all about Bubba.

I just made my day by reading your blog – I really missed it.

Take care,
Carol

We are sitting here typing to you on our last day at sea before debarkation on the Miracle. We just wanted to make a few comments and ask you a few questions. First of all thank you so much for the gifts along with the signed picture that was great and we just love it and intend to display it with honor at our home. This has been a fun cruise as the locks of panama were amazing. We did however have a few questions that possibly you could clear up, We were first issued #5 debark tags which we were suprised that being we were in a Cat 11 suite we were given such a high number. I went to the pursers desk and asked about getting #1 as we thouight that skippers club applied to debark also not just embark. They gave us #1 with little complaint so I was happy about that and thanked them heavly for doing that saving me from getting upset. So now I am confused why on some ships have we been on were we offered priority debark in a #11 suite without a trip to the pursers desk and on others I have had to make a trip to see the pursers?? Sometimes with and sometimes without sucess. Doesn’t a 11 suite give you a skippers club priority embark and debark?? We loved malcolm in the middle (woo hoo) once again (3rd cruise with him). Is there anyway or has carnival considered re-doing the smoking issue on board? I know you can only smoke in certain areas on board which is wonderful but it seems that we have a hard time standing on are balcony as the smell of smoke about knocks us over. Also we had to spray are room with deodrizer several times as we beleive the smell of smoke was coming from next door under the bottom of the floor. Has carnival considered making one side of the ships cabins non smoking? Or possibly even a floor maybe?? Kind of like hotels do a non smoking floor or non smoking rooms? Also one last thing as the other things in no way ruined or cruise but this issue really left a disapointing feeling with us. We had asked you a few weeks backs about booking another cruise while on board here on the miracle. Which we are ready to do now. You told us that they do that and they be able to help us onboard with that. Well……. they don’t do it on the spirit class ships is the answer we got here on board. Now we dont blame you at all in any way as I sure if your were on board it would be different. You could go down there in your dolly parton outfit and scare them into submission. Why would carnival not do it on there smaller ships is our question its like saying the smaller ships arent as important or as if because we didn’t book on a larger ship then we arent as important? Oh and to me this is a VERY LARGE ship I’m use to a small canoe with a 5hp motor this to me is a LARGE ship. So we feel we have gotten the bad end of the deal here as we are ready to book another cruise at this time but wanted the discounts you get from booking on board.

Thanks Again
Frank and Bridie Rist

I thoroughly enjoyed your narrative of your harrowing drive to your football match…I really think you should use your “free time” to write some short stories. I love your writing style and you bring a smile to my face every morning, which reading your blog is now part of my morning routine.

On to the questions…
A.) is there anything special (besides ordering room decor or a cake, renewing vows or dining in the Supper Club (which I have planned) that you’ve seen, suggested or assisted in onboard that I could surprise my husband with for our anniversary (which we will be celebrating while on board)?

B.) How long are CD contracts for, when will they be renewed and when will I be able to take a peek at your cool spreadsheet and find out who the CD will be for our 11/29/09 Glory sailing?

Jamie did a GREAT job on the video and she looked WONDERFUL!! Hi, Jamie!!!
