It's part of my bucket list. We departed from Baltimore on the Pride; returned the following Saturday. It was great and beyond my expectations . You don't pay your cruise director, Eric, enough!! He made our trip most enjoyable and funny. The food was very good. The service from our cabin steward, Henry, and our dinner servers, Neal and Neal excellent. For my girl friend and I it was a honey moon. The production shows were wonderful with great dancing and singing. Email me. I can't say enough good things about your ship, the Pride. I loved having Pizza at 130 in the morning too. I just returned from my fist cruise. It’s part of my bucket list. We departed from Baltimore on the Pride; returned the following Saturday.

My husband and I have been on over 50 cruises to date. You had been on two previous Carnival cruises that we sailed on in the past 20 years. I remembered you as soon as I saw your name in the Carnival Caper. The "Bedtime Story" was incredible! I am so sorry that we didn't get a copy of the DVD. The passengers on the cruise were hilarious and you made the best of each one of them.We had been very disappointed with one previous Carnival cruise about 5 years ago. After the Freedom, Carnival has won us back. Every employee went out of their way to see that our cruising experience was excellent. Our room stewards (Tammee and Jamnean) were fabulous. We never had to ask for anything.The review shows were the best ever! The food was delicious and plentiful. Believe me, we never went hungry!We just had a wonderful cruise, and YOU truly enhanced our cruising experience. Thank you for the great memories! Carnival Freedom July 4-12, 2009

I will be sailing on the Destiny next month with my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years. We actually met on a cruise and I find it fitting that I ask her to marry me on a cruise! Do you have any ideas or suggestions about how I should proceed with such a task? Have you every helped set up a proposal on board? I appreciate your help as I am having trouble thinking of the most memorable way to do so.Best Regards, Brett Hi John! I will be sailing on the Destiny next month with my girlfriend of 5 1/2 years.

Just thought you might want to see the results of a survey I found on MSNBC a little while ago:
