John;
Can’t believe you have time for Blogging with all your other duties. Quick Question. Is the Dream coming into Port Canaveral empty on Dec 3 from NYC? If so will we be able to board early and have our rooms ready earlier?? Really looking foreward to 9 days on the Dream. Purchased our tickets last Jan. Have a aft Balcony room. Many Thanks Mike

We it seems we are semi back to normal. Valentine is missing her daily serving of grilled chicken without the bun of course. After all of the attention that she got from our fellow cruisers he may have to go back for a refresher course. We were gone 30 days and that is a long time for such a little girl. Valentine would like me to thank everyone from John who made sure that she had a platinum card (but where was the onboard credit. I have expensive taste like any other female.) A special thanks to Todd or Toddles as James calls him, for making the announcement that yes she was on board and that she was working. It helped a lot! Also one thing that Mom and Dad didn’t think that we would like was your time dining. We loved it! Never had to wait more than a few minutes. The girls who seated us were great. We asked if we could get an out of the way place and we were always given the same table for 2 with lots of space for a service dog. Our waiters at table 336 were the best we have ever had. That is saying a lot! Our room steward, Justlin always went the extra mile with Valentine’s “needs”

Anyone thinking that maybe they might want their Carnival Dream to come true, Don’t hesitate it’s the best yet.

John get some rest! You need that wife and baby. Stress has a way if sneaking up on you. Needless to say It’s not fun when it finally does.

We love you,
Barbara David and Valentine

John, it wasn’t meant to be a nasty comment, just a bit of fun. In the same way that you have a go at the French, maybe.

Sorry if I offended you, I thought you were thicker-skinned than that.

Anyway, great to see you on board Carnival Dream. We had a great time despite the weather. Disappointed you chose to sit with Anita for
dinner instead of with the Brits. Perhaps I need to grow my hair, or my chest Or shave the beard, but I can’t do that.

Best wishes to you, Heidi and Kye. Enjoy your Christmas break at home with them.

John,

Many thanks for the well wishes on our engagement! Much appreciated…

Larry Meador – Jeanne said you were a “blogger”, and this proves it! Thank you also!! We need to form a Houston-Galveston “Bloggers” group…or, is one already formed-> the Crazies? We need to cruise on the Conquest when John Heald is onboard…

Host Mach – cool video. I’m surprised they didn’t close the cove balcony doors with those seas. However, shows those balconies still can be used in heavier seas/weather.

John, (Please Reply)

This maybe stupid but my wife is concerned why she is unable to get a grilled cheese sandwich from Room Service due to these reasons:

She can get Toast.
She can get a Cheese Sandwich.

So why can’t they just toast the bread and put it together real quick. She even offered a really nice tip for this and was still told no firmly over the phone on our last cruise…

Our Dream Cruise on 02/20/10 (Dream Catchers – Cruise Critic) is looking to be a blast with you as CD…

Thanks John!!

John:

While you have the “execs” there to bend their ear….

a PA to assist the CD and ACD would be a wonderful addition to the team.

I think these are two of the folks that more cruisers want to see around the ship…and unfortunately, they end up doing “secretarial work” (administrative paperwork)….which is probably not the best use of their talents.

Hi John!
My god, we all sucked the life out of ‘Monique’ didn’t we? LOL

I had so much fun with you at dinner — laughed too hard at all your stories. Loved seeing pictures of Kye – she looks a lot like Heidi, but she has your twinkle in her eye!

Loved the Dream and the entertainment and food were first-rate.

TTYS!!

Best,
Anita
