The last one was thrown out. If you look closely at the Capers that you have posted, from 1979, you will see my name as one of the artistes listed. I spend every birthday on one (usually the Glory) of Carnival's ships. Wee Jimmy was the CD on one of them. I am really looking forward to meeting you on the February 13th sailing. Until then, Best regards. Hi John, I’m trying this again. The last one was thrown out.

I wanted to give you a lot of leeway on this because I know you will be buys on-board ship. Can you please help us arrange a Cruise Critic meet and greet for our sailing on the Carnival Glory leaving October 31st? Thank you very much!

So it may be a bit forward of me to use your first name. We were wondering, since you have been on the Wonderful Dream, where might a person and say 50-100 of her new found friends have a Sail Away Party. (I think we have about 65 Cabins booked so far, but not every one will make it to the sail away party) The plan is to met somewhere (Aft) just after "the Drill". Can you give us an idea of what aft deck we might presume to take over (have a corner of) My Sister and I are in charge of the Dream Catchers Sail Away Party (Yikes :o) on our Cruise Critic Cruise, Feb 20th. We so would love for it to be a special event. If you have any Ideas on this, that would be wonderful, if you think you could Drop in on the Sail Away Party and say hello to this wonderful group of goofs that would be beyond anything I could ask...But as you can see I just did :o) So please when you get a moment, drop me an e-mail, stating what you think I might be able to pull off. I know you think it is early, But it is never to early to plan. I have the Dream Feb, The Spirit Sept, and I just started to gather friends to do the Liberty Jan 2011. So far, I only have one cruise under my belt (Spirit Nov 2008) and I don't want to vacation any other way! I know you have many requests...I hope this one makes it to your list of things you can do. Mostly the advice on what deck would be best is what I would love to hear about, and I will re request a visit from you at the Sail Away Party in Feb. One other thing, do you know who will be the CD on the Sept, 7 2010 Glacier Bay Cruise on the Spirit? Just wondering...OK now I will go away :o) Thank you in advance for you help, and your time.

I can't even imagine how many messages you get from here in one day. I look forward to reading it everyday and especially reading peoples comments and your responses.I'm so glad Carnival has started to offer "your choice" dining. That is one thing I prefer about your sister line Princess, as I don't like having to be at diner at a precise time. I also like that with your choice you can always get a table for two. Now that Carnival offers it I plan on booking future cruises on Carnival. I currently have two cruises booked, one is on the Carnival Legend and the other is on Carnival Valor. Of course on the Legend I have your choice dining, but on the Valor it is not yet offered.On that note, I wanted to see if you could get my partner and I a table for two on the Valor sailing on Oct 18th. I really would appreciate it as my partner will be celebrating his 39th birthday during the cruise. I already plan on booking the behind the scenes tour as soon as we get on, as I thought that would be a top notch birthday gift.Thanks for your help, Brian John (Please Respond Before Oct 18th)

According to the CD schedule we will be lucky to have you on board. I hope the schedule is accurate.. There are about 30 of us doing a CC roll call. Would it be possible for you to arrange a get together on Monday afternoon? I saw some of the videos of you on U tube and I would love to see you on stage live. Besides, I have a Monte Cristo #2 with your name on it and I'm hoping to have a smoke with you. All the best to you, and your baby is such a cutey.

The deck plans for the dream show the two 9A aft wraps on deck 8 as having full wraps (cabins 8466 and 8473) looking at some hi def pictures I found, it is clear that these cabins are not wraps at all, in fact the cabins "behind" them 8462 and 8469 have wrap balconies.Now are my eyes deceiving me or is the Carnival deck plan wrong? Hi John,

Are you able to tell us when Carnival will start booking the Magic? And I know you won't say.....but what will the home port be????? :) Also, now that they took our Elation away from us in San Diego, what's next for us? I can't imagine Carnival is gone from here, except for the part time Spirit. Thanks, Eric Hi John,
