I have put together some photos and excerpts from the speeches that I thought you might like to see. http://beyondships.com/CarnivalDream-art-naming.html It was a great occasion. John,

It was great seeing you at the naming ceremony. I have put together some photos and excerpts from the speeches that I thought you might like to see. http://beyondships.com/CarnivalDream-art-naming.html It was a great occasion.

I started a blog about cruising and am now (just about) making a living from it, however I have very little on or about Carnival as my site is mainly UK based. I guess after looking at this, I need to get my finger out and start to promote Carnival, after all they are the biggest, but are they the best? What a great blog, I wish I had discovered it earlier.

Vince Strong will be returning to the Dream for the last two days of the Blogger's cruise in December. I highly recommend checking out his show. He certainly does rock the piano bar!

My wife and I just completed our cruise on the Carnival Destiny, we got off the ship on Thursday 11/12/09. As usual we had a terrific time and hated to leave this beautiful funship. We did encounter the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, with some strong winds, but nothing to dampen the fun aboard the Destiny. I have to point out an incredible experience we had aboard the ship, we had the pleasure in being served by a headwaiter named Fu. Fu made our dinner experiences unforgettable, he offered us the very best service we have ever encountered on or off a cruise ship. After hearing my wife's comments on how much she loved the pumpkin soup, Fu arranged to have a bowl (or 2) of this delicacy for her every night of the cruise, even though it was not offered on the menu. We expect great service aboard the funships, from our past experiences, but Fu is in a league of his own. Captain Pier Paolo Scala has a great sense of humour and was very approachable, our CD Brent was terrific and we loved the shows in the Palladium lounge. I have to admit that I enjoyed the warm chocolate melting cake 5 times during our cruise, each was better than the one from the evening before!!After I finish this entry I will be back online booking our next Carnival vacation, which will be my 7th and my wife Michelle's 10th aboard the funships!!! We will be back on the Carnival Destiny during March of next year, and the Carnival Dream in September, as we celebrate another anniversary aboard a funship. Hopefully Fu will again be onboard the Carnival Destiny and we can rekindle the friendship started this week. John, Please reply.
