Happy Birthday John!
All of us at Carnival, from those of us with long luscious beards, to the 349 ladies who call themselves Stephanie… from Peter the Hair, Jay the Recently Married, Fun Ship Freddy, and of course 007 (will we ever find out who he or she is?), hope you’ve had and continue to have an amazing birthday.
Oh… and one more person wants to say hi.
Love always,
- Eric the Beard

Happy Birthday JOHN! May the year ahead be filled with many blessings, you deserve every one!
*** Repeat of FB post…….John, I put together a bunch funny/silly/off-the-wall pictures and some equally clever words to post for your Birthday wishes. I could not make up my mind which would be the best to post…. So, I finally decided on this…”I am sorry you had to leave your family on your birthday, but I wish you all the best today and always. Safe travels to you. Enjoy the best you can your time in Philly with the crew learning the new Hasbro games. Don’t ever doubt who you are and what you feel. You are a good, kind-hearted person with a gentle soul. Don’t ever change. Remember you have an immense support group, with family, co-workers, FB people and Bloggers alike.” Hope to see you soon.
Happy birthday!!! See you on the February 26th cruise on the Magic. Looking so forward to cruising with you again.
Happy Birthday John!!! May you celebrate many, many more and be able to share them with your girls and us!!!

Have a wonderful birthday while in my hometown of Philly. Yes you can say Philly. Have a cheesesteak while you’re there. I wish I could find out where you are and come visit. Enjoy your stay. We sail on our Platinum cruise out of Baltimore 4/22/12. Philly would be a great cruise port as well. We could sail more if we had more home ports to choose from.
Happy Birthday….Hope you have a good day!!
