First a huge congratulations to Leo and Mary….
66 years is amazing.

I still can’t believe that (even though we have sailed with you 3 times) we have never sailed with you as a CD.

We are correcting that oversight May 8th on the Fantasy. AND I will actually be leaving my precious karaoke long enough to see you SHINE on stage!!

Keep up the good work!!

Carnival has a Guest Services Department and it is NOT John.

Checked it out after reading the thread on cruise critic about it, I love your sense of humor - laughed because of the stereotype (in the US) of Brits being so proper! One question, I am so glad that Carnival has resumed Europe cruises. I was so hoping though for a cruise that began or ended in England, as a transatlantic. At any point will itineraries other than Mediterranean be added? I know, Carnival finally adds Europe again & already people are asking for more. I love London, and was hoping to spend a week pre or post cruise. I had the april 2009 transatlantic booked on the Liberty, when it was canceled. Hoping to find another itinerary like it.

I think this means that we can not cruise as I will be 28 weeks pregnant at the time. We have paid a deposit can you let me know if I will get a refund or if I can transfer onto another cruise for next year? John (please reply if possible)

Congrats on getting through the first week back onboard and that means its only a few days until Heidi/Kye come to visit! I agree with you about instant gratification and that isn't going to change. Its just going to get worse that people wants results/action now. Our local paper reviewed both the Carnival Dream and Oasis of the Seas. I am attaching the links below for you to read. Have a great week and take care!

What a beautiful ship, so many wonderful things to do and see on board. As well as the BEST cruise director I have had the pleasure of cruising with. Your sense of humor and involvement of the guests in your shows is fantastic. We really enjoyed the talent show and bedtime story evening. I haven't laughed that much in I don't know how long. We also really enjoyed your morning shows with all the letters from our fellow cruisers and the time you took to speak with them. I don't know if Carnival has a cruise director of the year award but you definitely should win it! Now it's time to start planning for our next cruise, which will probably be on board your new ship that has yet to be named (hopefully they pick the name my girlfriend suggested), and start counting down the days until we can sail again. Although, we will definitely be cruising with you again as our cruise director. By the way, did you get one of the chefs to make you some deviled eggs? Once again thanks to you and everyone on board the Dream for making our vacation wonderful. Sincerely Paul & Desiree Hi John,
