This action on HER part gave you permission to continue on with YOUR skit.

She saw exactly what you were doing and NOW she wants to get mad about it????

Please continue doing your skit. Do not allow one old biddie with a cactus sense of humor (spelled however) ruin it for everyone else.

Great choice of characters...you do have a special knack! We had a blast.Kudos to all the talent involved in the Dancing in the Street show. FANTASTIC! I understand the copyright nightmares which prohibit selling DVD's. Perhaps they could be taped like a variety show and aired on cable tv...Carnival's TV hour.Thanks for the memories. P.S. Sorry about the toilet paper. Hi John,

Thanks for the memories.

Keep you humor, humour and don't worry about the tightly wound ninnies. If you start eliminating parts of your presentations for fear of that one person that should have stayed home, it won't take too long till you have nothing left. There will always bo someone that doesn't like anything and we just don't have to suffer them. Here's to laughter, 555 John,

Clearly, you were just teasing them a little. No worries! P.S. I am HOOKED on your blog. I think you are hilarious! My husband and I are sailing on the Freedom 3/7/10- One month from today! We can't wait! Please, you should have told that lady to get a grip! Clearly, you were just teasing them a little. No worries!

You are a wonderful entertainer and the best CD in the business and I bet Carnival would stand behind your humor and judgement in any event! I haven't laughed so hard in years, as I did this past week, watching you! Thank you! John,

The vast majority love them and some will not like anything you do! We are Milestone Rewards level cruisers and love the Whale Tail pins each cruise. We do think, however, that those offered for sale are not as nice as the ones we receive in our cabin. Love the Blog! Regards Roger T John

I am not sure that 10 years ago we even knew anyone who had ever taken a cruise...and we really didn't know what we were doing. It ended up not being the best experience. It all started when we missed the boat due to flight delays in Saint Louis...so instead of a 5 day cruise on the Imagination out of Miami to Jamaica and Grand Cayman....we ended up on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise out of Puerto Rico on the Inspiration. I had everything planned perfectly (ahem)....except when none of it happened. Did I mention we were traveling with a 7 year old...and a 2 year old? You can imagine all of the trouble we had...including trying to find diapers in Guadalupe (which we didn't). We had less than an ideal...really no fault of Carnival, but just trying to deal with all the crap...well...you know what I mean. ;)It has taken quite a while to take the plunge again and schedule a cruise. I want it to go smoothly, well actually perfectly...and I am incredibly apprehensive. I am reading everything I can get my hands on from cruise tips and secrets...to a blog by this really quirky cruise director who apparently does all of his writing in his underpants. Can you believe it?Anything you can do to help make our second adventure on Carnival great would be appreciated. I want my wife and sons (Now 16 and 11 (turning 12 on the cruise) to have the best time ever. Just some advice would be great...the options are overwhelming...and from the looks of it everyone else who writes to you is on their 32nd cruise!!!Thanks!!! j2 Hi John,

We were on the Jan. 23rd Carnival Dream cruise. We had a terrific time, thanks to Todd, and our wonderful wait staff, table 641, Scarlett Dining Room, early seating--Guillermo and Norman. We missed seeing James and Captain Queirolo. Is Captain Q okay? Our last cruise on the Freedom was the best we had ever been on due to Todd, James and the Captain.Your ride on the slides with G.Cahill motivated my husband and me to try them. We loved the Twister.I was so excited to see you outside the Encore Lounge that I barged in on your conversation with another guest. You were showing pix of your gorgeous Kye. I am sorry if I seemed rude.I wanted to ask you why, as Platinum cruisers we did not receive our Carnival Dream pins? This was our first VIP cruise and we were looking forward to them. Our cabin steward was not the most efficient and had to be reminded about the special logo frames two times before we got them. I am hoping he just forgot to leave the pins in our stateroom. Weren't we supposed to get them? I was wondering if you could let someone know that we didn't receive them and perhaps have them send them to us? Also, we have cruised with Carnival 3 time in the last 16 months and haven't gotten our Currents magazine in over 2 years. Help, please.I wish we could have seen your bedtime story. Perhaps next time. When will you have your ship assignment schedule?Keep on doing what you do. I love your sense of humor(spelled correctly). Sincerely, Paula Dear John,

+1 on what Steve O. said, John.

You did nothing wrong.
She could have stopped it, but she let it happen and became a part of the show.

Do it again if you have a chance, nothing wrong!
