    Thanks John!! The best part is seeing your beautiful Kye! The ship is almost as beautiful as she is!!

  4. Ellen says:

    John, thanks for the address I will mail them soon as I am still recovering from my 2 weeks in the hospital.
    Seeing the Mardi Gras brought back happy memories as that was the first cruise ship
    Jim & I sailed aboard. Please God I will someday sail aboard the Magic. Your daughter is beautiful. Have a “Magical Trip”

  5. Chris says:

    John I know she is the best ship ever!! #100, “Magic”…it just makes sense mate. My parents are on the Dream right now and when I saw that they are going to have a toast for the magic on Friday at their dinner, which we are going on nov 20, i know the magic is REALLY going to be an epic experience!! Thanks for helping “bring her to life” for us and hope to see you in November. Till then take care!

  7. Hello John,
    I can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are to be sailing on the Magic in November from Galveston. Are you still going to be the cruise director on the November 27th cruise? We really hope you will be. Have never got to sail on a ship with you as the cruise director, but have heard you are fantastic.Here’s to wonderful sailings on a wonderful ship!!

  8. Fantastic video. I can’t believe how big Kye is.

    Hope to see you again soon.

    John we have our selves a Really Beautiful Ship. and Kye is Beautiful.

  10. Joseph says:

    Kye is so precious. Enjoy your family time! I hope Heidi remembered your suspenders. Cheers

  11. I’ve always wondered how you can work away from home for weeks at a time with a family. That has GOT to be tough, especially with a beautiful girl so small.

    The lobby area looks great, though. Look forward to seeing more videos.

  12. Robyn says:

    AAAWWWWW Kye is so BEAUTIFUL!!! What a sweet sweet smile. You can tell how much she adores her daddy.

  13. Brie says:

    John, GREAT video. !! Thanks for keeping all of us up to date with the Magic . Keep up the GREAT work. !! Have an AWESOME day my good man. !!

  23. Jo says:

    as long as we can see where you’re hands are you wild n crazy bloke.

  24. Starr says:

    John, A star is born! Oh better make that 2 stars the Magic and Kye!! Both are beautiful!

  25. A new ship is always something to celebrate. With the addition of Kye and Heidi the video clip was perfect. The use of casino card table green felt color is just an eyecatcher and will get all of the guest attention. It is an eyefull.

  26. Duane says:

    Who are all these people on MY Carnival Magic. I did not give you permission to let anyone in. Last time I give you the keys John.

  27. Karen says:

    What a Beautiful Baby Girl !!! Kye is precious….

  28. Kelly Horton says:

    John,

    It’s so nice to put a beautiful face to a name seeing Kye in this video! She is so adorable :-) I’m so jealous you’ll be on the MAGIC in just a few days! I have about 7 months left and I’ll be there with you! Great video!

  29. Michelle says:

    Awe, Kye stole the show. I’m excited for Carnival and everyone to have Magic in the fleet.

  30. Ed Kosmerl says:

    My wife and I were on the initial sailing of the Dream, 09/21/2009, wish we could have made it for the Magic – great class of ship – beautiful lines and not too big – just right.

  31. Stephanie AKA Hockey Addict says:

    Hi John!

    Kye is beautiful! I was so surprised to see her in the video! I thought I spotted Heidi in the background then looked down and there was Kye! I am so glad she came running over! She is precious!

    The ship looks beautiful and I can’t wait to see more pictures of her! Hopefully next year we will make it on the Dream class ship!

    Enjoy your time with the girls! Have fun…. and I hope Heidi remembered to bring your special “bottom creme” =)

  32. TracyGorman says:

    John…absolutely stunning (Kye), and the ship’s pretty awesome too. Have a great trip.

  35. Theresa Martin- Taylor says:

    How truely lovely the lobby looks…. but your daughter running to you and smiling was just a joy to see. She is so pretty! And you my sir, are looking quite dapper yourself!

  36. John,

    As I sit here at my desk working… slaving away, I took time to sneak a peak at your blog and the videos. In the video you said, “wish you were here”. Well… I really do wish I was there.

    Hi,
    the Magic is looking good!
    I will be joining her in Barcelona on the 5th of August; “Can’t wait”!
    Would it be possible for you to put a link in your blog to see all videos relating to the Carnival Magic.

    Many thanks

  38. Nancy McQuarrie says:

    Great video, John. Kye is adorable!!

    Ryan (now dubbed by our TA group as “Fancypants”)called today and said the same things, John – Magic is the best ship yet. He said she’s “beautiful, but in a fun way” – just have to see that one for myself – doesn’t really paint a picture, but then it would be hard to put into words. Thanks for all the pics you’ve shared with us.

    The excitement builds! Come on, TA — can’t wait!!!!!

  39. Marlene says:

    What a beautiful Kye on the beautiful Magic. Thanks for sharing this and for all you do. Can’t wait to sail with you again. WIWT

  40. Nancy Savel says:

    Wish we were there too–see you Oct 28th
