After spending way way too much time on cruise critic, I found you're going to be the cruise director for our honeymoon cruise on the Legend November 8, 2009. Between getting married and going on my first cruise, I'm so excited I can't contain myself, and now that I've found you're our cruise director, I'm even more excited (if that is possible). Just wanted to say hi and share my excitement. See you in a few weeks!!! Hey John!

Now, I admit, we BOTH like it but there are so many more charming places. So...the next time you "land" & are hankering for a great place to eat, please give us a call! We will meet you at the Port (we live about 15 minutes away) and take you to a GREAT place to eat & drink & get you back to the ship on time. Plus it would be great if you could smuggle me on board and tell everyone that I was your sister. :-) I'll be glad to email you our home & cell numbers..we'd LOVE to meet you and would be honored to take you out to eat..our treat!One other thing..we sailed on the Legend in Sept, loved it, and have now converted back to CCL fans, instead of RCCL. (We are avid cruisers, take at least two a year (and no, we're not retired) and can't think of a better vacation.) We had such a great time & Jen was fabulous as the CD and the Legend was beautiful. We're already trying to decide our next cruise...Dream or one with you as the CD.Take care, Harvey & Janice Please reply…..

If you want a Republican centered, Obama/Democrat bashing news channel then you want Fox. I say keep CNN, this way you get both sides of the story.Roxianne John,

Bennigan's is actually the closest restaurant to the ship (people were on the terrace waving at us when we left port). The food is terrible, but that is irrevelant when discussing distance.Roxianne John,

We would like to echo Stef's accolades for Samson and Sueta in the Imagination Dining room. They are great together. This was our first cruise and it was great. I am somewhat of a pro photographer and had the expensive camera with me. I took some photos of them in the dining room as there were working and also when they were showing off. I had some prints made on the photo deck and gave them copies. They had never had that happen before. They seemed impressed that I took the time and made the effort to do that for them.David and Carolyn Johnson, Joseph Johnson II and Janet Kennedy. John

Then , someone who is disabled, like myself comes along and will be told that those cabins are unavailable. I know it is Carnival's "policy" to relocate people if truly handicapped persons need the cabin, but how often, in reality, does that happen? Can't Carnival come up with a better system to stop TAs, PVPs, etc. from selling those cabins unless the cruisers are truly disabled? I know that there is a Special Needs form that I have to fill out before I sail. However, anyone could fill one of those out and send it in to Carnival. It's not proof of a handicap. I understand that Carnival does not want to sail with any cabins that are empty, so maybe if they waited until shortly before sailing, they could then sell any handicapped cabins that have not been taken. Just needed to vent! Thanks, John. John Please reply-

We will be sailing with you on the Carnival Dream December 3rd, 2009. Have not seen you since our very first Carnival Cruise on the Carnival Glory. We still love the Bedtime Story! You were a large part of our returning to Canival again and agian. This will be our seventh cruise (all with Carnival!) I was wondering how I could find out about our dinning placement, as we sailing just the two of us. Would be nice to sit with some other cruisers. Thank you for your time and attention, Fondly, Peggy Hi John,
