Dear Johnny Sparkles,
Happy Birthday and Happy Landings as you fly first class on Virgin Airlines getting a massage from the large breasted lady sitting next to you from Latvia.
Yeah Right, now wake up you silly rabbit and get back to work writing about all the great passenger that will be complaining about the size of the robes not fitting their extra large arse.
Right now I am going to bring up the subject so you and everyone else has enough time to chew on it. I think a bloggers cruise should be one of the first seven day cruises of the CCL Magic in the beautiful Med. The first cruise may be asking too much of you as I know bringing out a new ship has alot of extra things associated with it, but soon thereafter might be a good idea. New Ship, Europe Blogger’s Cruise. What do you think?
Just a thought.

Happy birthday, John. May the coming year bring you nothing but encounters with Megan Fox’s bottom, limbo dances with Latvian women, and a brand new pair of underpants to blog in! Seriously, though, may you be blessed with good health and joy during the coming year. Thank you for making us laugh every day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!
And, safe travels across “The Pond”. We enjoy your blog tremendously and are loyal fans, as well as loyal fans of Carnival (hence the sign on name…).
Btw, the picture of that cake freaks me out…
Have a “Dream” hitch and we sure miss her (we were on the Oct 15th Grand Med sailing…).
Happy Birthday again…

Happy Birthday!!!
Happy Birthday John!!!
HAPPY 45th JOHN!! WOW, you’re STILL young enough to be my son!!
Hoping your flight was smooth and that Todd and James take good care of you on the “handover week”.
Not long now until your girls join you…..finally Kye gets to see “what Daddy does”. I know it’s going to be great to have them with you. Will Heidi be ACD? Like she’ll have any extra time while taking care of Kye AND running to the laundry room to do more of your infamous underpants!
It’s only a few more months until we sail with you again? Hmmm….when could that be?
Warm wishes to you.
Your old buddy,
Steve O
Happy Birthday John:
Best wishes for many happy and healthy years to be shared with Heidi and Kye.

Happy Birthday John
John Please Reply
Happy birthday John!!! Garett (aka Bob) will be so excited to know that the two of you share a birthday. He’s 15 today.
He is getting his learner’s permit soon and we’re looking for a polar bear killing tank for him to drive. However, I think he’s going to balk at the helmet, goggles, and racing driver seat belts that I’m going to install
.
His birthday surprise is a cruise next summer on the brand new Carnival Magic! I don’t think he will mind that (because of the cost!) it will be his birthday present for two years!
Please, please tell me that you will the cruise director in June 2011. He will be excited about the cruise, but it would be a dream come true if you were cruise director.
Happy Birthday John!!!
Hey John—-Did you know that a million people were born on your birthday??? That makes you one in a million…Enjoy your special day and we wish you many many more. thanks again for all you do. Regards from Texas..A&W
John,
Happy Birthday to YOU…as you head back doing what you do best. I’m betting you’re counting the minutes until you are reunited with your girls. Hope you had all the airport screening staff take notice when showing your ID that this was your special day and they should treat you with kindness lol.
Cheers for many, many more candles to come
Ray & Deb
happy birthday john.hope to sail with u again one of these years lol. hope u have a good bday with the girls. i like that cake big ed made lol
Here’s to a year full of health and happiness! Happy Birthday John!
Happy birthday, John! Thanks for all you do. I won’t get to see you on the Dream, but I’ll be seeing you on the Carnival Magic in 21 short months!
Happy Birthday John!
Hope your flight was a good one and you didn’t have much of a hassle getting through customs on this end.
Make the May 22, 2011 Carnival Magic a bloggers’ cruise. We chose this because of the two different ports.

Happy Birthday John!

Sorry you had to say good bye to your girls. Try to have a good time anyway.
Due to the baggage handling system I believe some people do end up holding their clothes because their luggage has been destroyed. :-0

Hi John,
First I would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday!
I just wanted to say how happy I was to see that Carnival will have a ship sailing in Europe Oct 2011. The internary is perfect and I will be booking my cruise soon on the Magic.
We said on the Splendor when you were the Cruise Director. Hoping you will be the Cruise Director on the Magic.
Thanks to carnival for going back to Europe.

Happy birthday John, sorry you had to spend it on the road away from your family. Soon you will be back onboard a Carnival ship and time will fly by.
Great news on Carnival returning to Europe. I know this will keep you closer to your family and make it a little easier on you. Maybe I will be able to get over there some time soon if my 401K growns back up.

John,
Well Hello my Friend.
It’s been a while since I have written. I wont go into the reasons except to say we had to have some very serious surgery and an extended Hospital stay, However I am back up and almost back to 100% even if i have some funny looking scars (kinds looks a little like Miami’s street map)
I just finished reading 3 months woth of Blogs trying to get caught up on all the action.
Loved the Carnival Dreams Naming event. The video of you with the bottle had me laughing so hard i actually popped a stitch.
talk about time flying, it’s hard to believe that Key is 8 month’s old already, i am getting old.
Look , I know that you are busy getting ready to take over the Carnival Dreamso i wont tie you up, Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that Cindy and I are back and getting ready for a much much much much need Carnival Fun time.
we just finished talking with Jose amd booked 3 cruises for this year.
I really need to just get away from doctors and hospitals and just have some fun for a while.
Cindy and i will be on the Carnival Liberty on march 6th …the Carnival Spirit on July 20th to Alaska, and Finally we get to cruise on the Carnival Dream on oct 21 cant wait.
Both Cindy and I we heartbroken to miss our Carnival Dream Bloggers Cruise but we probably would not have cleared port security with all the damm tubes that we sticking out of me.. lol
But this year , I have a new lease on life and cindy and i have vowed to make up for lost time.
Great to see that you are back at the CD job and we were really happy with the europe announcment. Cindy and I will be re joining you for the 12 day grand Med cruise. lol Lets see what evil we can plan for you …
In any case my friend, just wanted to update you and let you know that we are still with you and Carnival. We cant wait to see you in person in the Med.
Love to Heidi and Kye
Bill
Happy Birthday John! See you on the 30th on the Carnival Dream…..

Happy Birthday John. I arranged for a massage for you at the airport
Dear John -
Hope you had a good birthday. I have a request.. My son is a cruise fanatic! He is almost 14 so our cruising schedule is tied to his school schedule. Two years ago I went back to school (masters program) and still work full-time. He has been very supportive and why I want to do something special for him. We are sailing on the Dream May 22 (we will say for his 8th grade graduation) and I was wondering if you could do something for him??
He is such a cruise nut, he asked for Christmas for two cruises in cheap rooms instead of one with a balcony. I just laughed.
We hoping to book a couple more for this year and would love to sail with you before you retire. (We would do Fantasy w/ you but already had Dream booked when dates were announced) Hopefully your July – Oct schedule will be out soon!
Thanks for your help. He loves Carnival and everything they offer. He spends most of his time in the Circle C so he loves getting to the know the staff. Arpie
Hope you had a great birthday!
Hi John
Please reply if possible.
First of all Happy belated Birthday, and I hope you enjoyed some time off with the family.
We are sailing on our Carnival Dream in March and are very excited. Now I was hoping you could address the 300lb Gorilla in the room. The smell issue. From all accounts I have read its not something that would keep us from sailing, but we are a little concerned. We have an aft wrap booked, and most comments have been about the smell towards the aft of the ship. I would hate to have something like an odor keep us form enjoying the view. What is the cause, and what if anything can be done?
I understand your position w/ CCL may limit your ability to address this situation but anything you can add would be appreciated.
We enjoy your blog, and I hope you will continue to do it as long as you can. It is a tremendous source of information and glimpse into the life on board the ships. Keep up the great work!
Belated Happy Birthday!!
Happy Belated Birthday.
Hope you had a great celebration and are still enjoying. Sorry this is late, my dumb computer would not let me on your blog, telling me it was a security threat. also said the same about my bank, my airlines, etc. Finally my son visited and turned off the security.
Happy Belated Birthday!!
Just got home from the Carnival Liberty and catching up on the blog. I will send more on our cruise later. Thank you for the gift and Butch was awesome!!
Hope your day was wonderful and have many more!!
Gloria aka Sue
Happy Birthday to you John and may you have many many more.
