I think it will be much more helpful to have like things grouped together so as to be easily found. With the Capers we used two colored highliters to mark the paper up according to what we had an interest in doing that day. I'm hoping that this will eliminate duplicate postings.I'm starting to like the new layout but I'm still hoping for a compromise for those who have vision problems. Anyone have any suggestions???

I am slowing catching up with the Blogs.

I will withhold my opinion of the layout of the newsletter until I see it in person.

However, I do think that Carnival Capers is an icon that should remain.

By the end of the year, David will have cruised on every Carnival ship (except the Carnivale). Since the Carnivale was doing shorter than 7 day cruises when David started cruising, he never sailed on it.

And by the end of the year, DJ will have cruised on every Carnival ship that was sailing at the time he started cruising. Sadly, the Mardi Gras, Carnivale and Festivale were “retired” by the time DJ started sailing.

Enjoy being back in the “big chair”…..

It's called "On The Road To Alang" and it's a documentary on what happens to ships after they have been retired. It features several of the old Carnival ships which have become part of the "Alang Fleet" and is a very interesting watch.All the Best, Lawrence N (....still Dreaming) Hello John,

It does seem better organized and easier to read...but why, why why did they change the name?? It's always been Carnival Capers....that's CARNIVAL. Are they planning to change the funnel anytime soon too? Sorry, but some things just shouldn't get messed with. And the other thing about the TIMES name it reminds me too much of a back home (with all the bad news) newspaper. Glad Kye and Heidi are joining you soon. Kye's gonna love the sea! John,

I am not sure Carla S should be speaking for everyone who was on the Carnival Dream when we missed San Juan. There were eight of us in our party and not one person complained, they were disappointed yes but got over it pretty quickly when we all realized we were still on vacation on a brand new ship having a great time. It's not like the port was cancelled and we woke up at work or something equally unpleasant, we woke up in our cabins, which someone else was going to clean, to go eat good food that someone else was going to cook. I am baffled to think that could have ruined the whole cruise. It was a great cruise with one hiccup. If it hadn't been the San Juan incident that "ruined" the cruise it would have been something else. John, please reply if you have time.

My daughter and her fiance are looking at getting married next year on the Dream. They are a little concerned since it doesn't have a wedding chapel as to where they hold ceremonies. Could you check for us and let us know. I see they have conference rooms on the ship and wondered if that is where they are held. They want to have about 60 people with over 1/2 sailing. Would it be better to have our PVP Charlene Reisler take care of the bookings for the cruise or should we deal directly with the group department? My BIL got married on the Legend but that ship had a chapel and it was a beautiful ceremony. Our daughter wants it to be a very special day and with our love of cruising as a family, what a better place than aboard one of Carnivals beautiful ships!I know you mentioned it before but are the prices for the spa passes? They are considering a spa cabin just for the use of the spa but we would really like to put them in a suite for their honeymoon.Any help you can give us would be highly appreciated!Thanks for all you do to make our lives better by having your wonderful blog to enjoy!Susan Hi John:

I like the Fun Times name. I really am most concerned that it be in a print large enough for an older lady to read. I'll be on the March 7th sailing of the C Splendor, so I'll critique it then. Joyce John,
