Wonderful to see you aboard and for the chance to meet you in the Queens Room (walkway). We had a wonderful cruise. As discussed, we are booked on the 10/28/11 "T/ A" Cruise from Barcelona to Galveston on the NEW Carnival Magic. You indicated you may be aboard her as well, and we would love to see you again. We sailed on the Carnival Liberty (inaugural cruise) out of Rome with you in 2005. - It was a blast...

Carnival made a big FACEBOOK announcement a few months back, saying that both ships would move to NO and we would get the good ship Triumph and the new ship. We could not wait so we are sailing on the Triumph out of NO in Jan. 2011 You commented that you were surprised to hear that the crew new that their ship was moving from Galveston to New Orleans.

It is this type of act that truly lets one know how Carnival cares, and will go that extra mile for members of its family. It really softened the blow of losing something very special and years in the making. Carnival did the same thing for my sister-in-law, Julie Mendenhall sometime ago. I have my new hat now, and am placing the new pins for the ships we have been on as I write. We considered it an honor to finally meet you on the Carnival Fantasy on its Inaugural cruise out of Charleston, SC. As with all the guests, you truly made our cruise memorable, and justified our total loyalty to Carnival. Also I'd like to express my honor of being called Mr. Carnival by you, Todd Whittmer, and the Carnival employees. It is something I do not take lightly, and will represent the title with respect and pride. We look forward to seeing you again, if not before, on the Inaugural cruise of the Carnival Magic in Europe this coming May. By the way, I will be wearing my chinstrap when on the Lido deck from now on! God Bless you, Heidi, & Kye and please extend our thanks to all again who had a part in my trademark replacement. Carnival is truly "Fun For ALL, All For Fun"Mr & Mrs Carnival Michael & Cheri Bolchoz John

Anyway, thanks for the story, video clips, and pictures – they were a bright spot to my day.

You should see this as a chance to get your friends interested in cruising. It will cost you the same to cruise alone as it would with a friend. SOOOOO, why not take a friend along. If they want to pay a little that helps you but it gives you a chance to infect others with the cruise bug. Also it gives you someone to hang with and do all the fun things that Carnival offers together. You may even find that cruising with a friend is so much more fun than going it alone that you do it all the time. Just an idea! The Cruzin2some To All Single Cruisers,

I have really enjoyed reading your blog in preparation for our next cruise (leaving August 9). I have been on the Conquest class ships, but my wife has never cruised. We are newlyweds and I booked the Elation since it was close enough that we can drive to the port in Mobile. I feel kind of silly asking this, but noticed others have requested specifics through this blog. If you would not mind to request a table for 2 for us I would appreciate it. That might make my wife’s first cruise a little more enjoyable… and it is her birthday. Hope to sail sometime in the future with you as our CD. I am now a cruise addict, and I really hope my wife feels the same way in a couple of weeks! Thanks PLEASE REPLY (sorry for double post, but I forgot to add that the first time)
