By the way it will be only two cruises, then I’ll be able to enjoy VIP status.. As my hubby has 8 cruises and I’m married to him, so will get to use his benefits for at least boarding. But I still have to wait four cruise before I get my own GOLD card…

Thanks,

Ok, my question, the shot’s off the Dream are kind of distorted so it’s a little hard to tell, are the Balcony cabins on the side’s of the ship set back a ways ? I can see the clear difference at the aft and whilst I am not to happy about it ( I love my aft wrap sea views) I will learn to live with it I am just wondering what type of view will be had from the side cabins.

Hi John & Heidi,

Beautiful picture of Kye – please try & make BC3 in November.

Hugs,

My wife, Elaine and I just returned home from our 32nd wedding anniversary cruise on the Freedom and just wanted to say that our experience was greatly enhanced by you. we have been on several cruises now and you were by far the best cruise director we’ve ever had. Only one thing I wanted to mention – we listened to one of the lounge performers, Julie Kryk, and as soon as I heard her I knew that someday everyone will know her name. She is a rare talent and I think that you should have her do a stage concert in the main theater for all the passengers to enjoy. We met up with her in Scott’s Piano Bar and no one was there listening – my wife and I got an individual concert and then folks starting coming in when they heard the music. So please give her more of an opportunity to shine. For anyone reading this – her website is http://www.juliekryk.com – check it out. P.S. I also tried out for the talent show and since they could only pick 4 – I wasn’t choosen – but maybe next time.

Since our return from our June 29th voyage on the Inspiration I have been watching for my review of our cruise. Either I missed it, it got lost in cyberspace, or I screwed it up when I tried to send it. ( I would lean towards the last statement.) But I can’t keep waiting for you to know how thankful I am to you and Skip for making this a cruise that we will never forget.

Your kindness in making our trip special and Skip’s unbelievable efforts to make our trip special caused my son to rate this as the #1 cruise of his life. He has been on 7 total.

Not only did you turn our heads but the friends we made at dinner and elsewhere on the ship were awestruck as well. We heard the comment “How could anyone complain when Carnival goes so far out of the way to make people happy!” I thought that was great.

John, please give some accolades to the following people on the Inspiration. They did an outstanding job! Our head waiter VanBuren, our cabin steward Nelson and of course to Skip.

Thanks for being there! I really hope that you get to see Kye soon. (That has to be very difficult!)

Dear John,
Did that catch your eye?? I thought it might! Anyway, I dreamed last night that you came to my city of Indianapolis for the opening ceremony to the new ‘Port of Indianapolis’! Never mind the fact that the only water surrounding our fair city is a canal. ha

I had entered a contest (and won) to have you stay in my home. However, I was also given the chance to take a Med cruise (on your other fav line.. the Ro……!!!!…!!!!) if I would give up the priveledge of hosting you in my home.

It was a no-brainer for me (even though my hubby has ALWAYS wanted to do a med cruise!) and so, what a week we had! I enjoyed helping you prepare your blogs, showing you around the city, and of course, the ceremonies for the port! What a blast!

So I just wanted to say thank you for all the fun times I had in my dream. You were the perfect houseguest! (well, ALMOST perfect! ha ha)

You are indeed special to those here in Indy too!
