My question is about anytime dining. We will be on the Glory on oct. 31, 2009. According to the schedule, she is scheduled to have the A. D. implemented in Dec. 2009. I have heard many rumors that some ships will begin this before the scheduled date . Do you kn0w if this is the case, and if so, is there a chance the glory will have it for oct. 31. Thanks very much for your answer and your time, and best wishes to you and your family. mike c. John, am new to your blog and I enjoy it very much. My question is about anytime dining.

The Carnival Dream is beautiful! I only understood 3 words of the video...Carnival Dream and Bella! Describes it perfectly. Video was a little scary though on the sailboat running right in front of the Carnival Dream...scary indeed! The Seabourn Ship is incredible...I don't know if I will ever sail her...but Wow. John I love the way you call the Ship "YOUR Carnival Dream" I never really thought about it but I do feel as if I am part owner of Carnival. I guess I should...Cruise #8 coming up in November 2, 2009 out of my hometown, Charleston SC. Cruise # 9 and PLATINUM September 18th and September 25, 2010 Back to Back out of Port Canaveral on the CARNIVAL DREAM. and cruise # 11 out of FLL on the Carnival Miracle. All of these cruises started with a Desire to see Alaska for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2006. We booked the Carnival Spirit and took an amazing trip to Alaska. Hooking us on Alaska and Cruising ( Becoming platinum in only4 years!) Thanks for the pics of Kye! She is adorable. I also have to comment I am totally shocked about Michael Jackson's death. I liked his music a lot. Wow, Wow ,Wow….that is all I can say about todays blog! The Carnival Dream is beautiful! I only understood 3 words of the video…Carnival Dream and Bella!

That wont work for my big arse. You are so right about the pools on Carnival ships those ladders are hard for us large cruisers to use to get out of the pools. Getting in is not a problem I just do a cannonball and splash everyone all around the Lido deck. BIG ED PS, did you see my comment on yesterdays blog about Chef Kevin. Carol Schoenberger

We know you were a big fan of Michael Jackson and know how sad you must be with the news of his sudden death yesterday. We feel the same way. He was unique and won't be replaced. You may recall our comments on the blog a few weeks ago about his upcoming concerts in London and our concern when it was announced that the start of his concerts were pushed back a few days. The King of Pop is going to be greatly missed all over the world. May he rest in peace. The Santanas of Miami Beach Hi, John!
