		<description>John: Happy anniversary this coming Sunday!  Larry and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary on the same day you and Heidi will be celebrating six years of marriage.  When we raise our glasses in a toast on that day, on the balcony of our suite on the Carnival Spirit, we will toast to the two of you, as well!

Congratulations!

		<description>Happy Anniversary John, will you be aboard Dream this week so we can toast you in person? Will you be a special guest star on the newlywed game? This is our tenth cruise, first one was Mardi Gras exactly 20 years ago, AND it&#039;s our 40th Anniversary. We couldn&#039;t have made Platinum without our Carnival Cruise Planner Adrian Perez. He&#039;s booked 8 of them for us. Will you be going up the tramway in St. Thomas to get a picture of Dream and Oasis nose to tail for the first time on Dec. 8th? If so I&#039;ll buy you a bushwacker! Kudos to Wee Jimmy as well.</description>

For a moment there I almost couldn&#039;t believe it.  You were just on the Glory but it sounds like from your blog you are no longer there.  My daughter and I are taking our annual mother/daughter trip on the Carnival Glory in just 5 days!!

Keep the laughs coming!  Can&#039;t wait to see the Dream!!</description>

		<description>Dear Zydecocruiser,
     Great idea about the question and answer page about certain cruise related facts. I also wanted to thank you for letting us cruise with you across the Atlantic through your fabulous pictures. Really enjoyed the photos you posted on your site. Look forward to shaking your hand in person one day.

		<description>Hi John,

I wrote you a while back and you said to write you again a few weeks before my cruise.  My wife and I will be on the Carnival Spendor over New Year&#039;s (12/27-1/3) and I would like for my wife to have an amazing time.  We are on a lower floor of the ship and I know she won&#039;t love that, but I was wondering if there would be something that could &quot;save&quot; me.  She means the world to me, but I can only afford so much.  Anything special you might be able to do, would be tremendous.

Thanks again for everything and we are counting down the days until our cruise!!!!!!!!</description>

		<description>Hi John,

Since it seems so many ask the same questions over and over again, how about an easy to find FAQ page like they have on Carnival.Com.

Maybe put a &quot;Ask John a Question&quot; box on that page and stop answering questions asked here?

Just a thought.</description>
