I posted a “review” of our Glory cruise…but I guess the Internet thief nabbed it!!

I will try to write it again later.

Just got DJ back from the Doctor….he is losing weight and they don’t know why. We had to go through the blood tests today.

Naturally David is out of town…..so things are hectic since I am here by myself.

I will post the Glory review as soon as things settle down.

But one BIG WOO HOO will be for Ryan F. (CD). What a jewel you have in that young man.

Talented, charming and so “together”….. and he makes it look so effortless.

Great poo story John.

I had a memorable Memorial Day weekend – my nephew & his wife had another little boy – Matthew Daniel, 6 lbs and a little premature. But everyone is fine and home.

That was a wonderful picture of the 2 happy Grandma’s and also the one of your 2 girls. Heidi, you look amazing.

Thanks for Bubba’s blog. My sister will be on the Southbound cruise in July & I’m passing along all of Bubba’s inside info. to her.

I just wanted to say hello before I left for the day, so have a great night and I’ll check back tomorrow morning,

Hugs,
Carol

I wanted to wait awhile until I wrote about our Fantastic Splendor cruise. We’ve been on Carnival since the early 1990′s and have to say we’ve seen so many talented groups along the way. On the Splendor back to back 4/26-5/10 we had the pleasure to spend most nights listening to a marvelous duo “Summer Breeze”. May and Rey are the singers and they had a standing room only crowd in the Atruim each night. Where have they been hiding? Please tell the CD to keep them in the Atrium! I hope Carnival keeps them around because they already have a huge following. They have to be one of the best we’ve ever heard on any ship! We stapled a letter to our customer comments after our 5/3 Splendor cruise and I just want to be sure they know how much we enjoyed their music. Is there anyway you can check and see if they were read our letter? Thanks. (I wrote it on our Platinum stationery , John and Barbara Lyle). The letter mentioned Maitre D Ken, and all the others that made our cruise fantastic. What a great group on the Splendor!!!!

As for the complaints about noise on the Splendor from the El Morrocco I think I can help. The band “Voodoo” I believe, has their speakers much louder than they need to be and they sing many songs that border on screaming. If they could tone down the volume , I think it would solve the problem. Louder is not always better.

As for the Victory, I’ve been reading some great reviews so I am glad I convinced my son Michael and his wife , Ashley to be on board the 6/28 cruise for their 2nd wedding anniversary. As you remember I was a bit worried after some reviews I read but now I know it will be great.

Have a great week with your Beautiful Two Girls!!!

Help us out on the Cruise Critic Board! Do waiters or room stewards get to keep all cash tips, regardless of auto tip reduced, removed etc. Some of us prefer cash tips, but lots believe that waiters or cabin stewards are reprimanded when auto tips are removed. True or not. Thanks for any help.
