We’d love to sail with you again out of Galveston!! Texas is full of fun loving friendly people!!!
John,
you are the heart and sole of Carnival.
Hi John, Mike here, I gave stephanie a note on the Glory about the Splendor. I am curious if you received the note , and if you can help? ( John please respond) Thanks, your friend Mike
When is the next Bloggers Cruise? I’d like to be a part of that one.. Couldnt do this one here.. But want to do the next one.. Thanks!!!
I think there should be more videos of tips for new cruisers. Like what you should pack and what you should take advantage of on the ship!
Hi, actually while cruising southern region make sure you take sunscreen with you because it affects more over there and many times people forget to cover scalp so take care of it
Told my mom about your bloggers cruise!!! i think im going to take that semester off from school just so i can go on your cruise!!!

Any clues into the “special events” you will be doing on the Bloggers cruise? Mach is posting teasers on CC that are useless to those who need to know. Their group rates are excessive and they say there will be events only those who pay those rates will be able to participate in. Personally, I plan to pick up a $300 cabin on the Lido deck the week before sailing, but you might change my mind if you are doing any “can’t miss” activities. Thanks
David, You don’t have to book useing the Blogger’s fare code (PBL) to be part of the Blogger’s activities. I generally book the ES rate through Carnival’s website and that’s what I’ve done on BC5 as well.
The group cruise rate on Cruise Critic comes with special gifts from CC as well as OBCs and stuff like that. Again, you can participate in all of the CC events but won’t get any of the perks if you book directly with Carnival.
Sometime closer to the cruise they will put up a link for everyone to post your name and cabin number on to show who is participating in the Blogger events.
On BC4 we had a special “Superstar Live”, special cocktail parties and a shore excursion. We got lanyards, backpacks, ball caps and photo albums as gifts.
Thanks so much for the info on the bloggers cruise! We are going to go on the one in March..(our first bloggers cruise but our 6th CCL cruise)we use a travel agent that has become a good friend to us and don’t want to book thru anyone else. If I understood you correctly at some point we will be able to indetify ourselfs as part of the group before we sail right?
Thanks again!
-Teri
Terri, there is no blogger’s in March, sorry
sorry, didn’t look at the date.
My husband and I splurged on a cruise for our 25th Anniversery. We left Long Beach for cabo and Puerto Vallarta on the 15th of may on the Splendor. Our Grand Suite was nice and the people that took care of the room wre lovely.
We never were able to go swimming or get into a hot tub. It seemed that the same 350 pound hairy men got in the tubs in the morning and stayed all day every day. We know ’cause we watched hoping to get a break. So we set our sights on the Comedy show and tried every night to get in there but again no room. With little to do we decided to try the casino. We talked to a lot of people but everyone said the same thing. No ne reported ever seeing anyone win.
We were Looking forward to our first dinner at the Pearl where we thought we wuld be dining together just the two of us as we requested but were told that was not going to happen. Another couple was crowded into the booth. This other couple were not people we would have spent under any other circumstances utterly erasing our hope for our intimate anniversary dining. The staff danced on the tables and seemed to be enjoying that.
At one dinner the Cruise director or dining director took off his dinner , jumped on a table and began rubbing his balls with it as if he were wiping himself. At that point I figured things couldn’t possibly get tackier!

John- Just off the Carnival Victory- Wonderful Cruise- Great Staff. Nothng- absolutely nothing to not like or complain about. Met Karl with a K. Left the poop bumper sticker with the Purser (Guest Services) desk and they said they will get it to you. Cabin Steward Joey possibly best we have ever had, waitress Knock Knock in Atlantic Deck 4 dining room also the best along with Tatiana. The casino hostesses were also great along with all the casino staff. Another amazing cruise aboard Carnival with many many great memories. I hope everyone knows how much they contribute to the success of Carnival.
Hi John,
My friends and I were lucky enough to have you as our CD on the Conquest last year! Best time we have ever had! (you were thrown down on the stage and rode by a passenger during the bedtimne story..I almost wet my pants and still watch the video we bought!) My question is…if we are able to go on the next bloggers cruise on March 4th 2012 is there anything special we need to let our travel agent know so we are identified as part of your “fan club”?
Crossing my fingers we get to see you again!
-Teri
John, I booked the bloggers cruise online through the link on the blog and it shows up as 3/4/2012 CCL Magic, do I need to do anything else to be part of the bloggers group?
Hi John! I am really excited to take my first cruise with Carnival leaving Tues. July 5th on the Carnival Spirit headed to Alaska. My husband and I will be celebrating his birthday through this cruise, we will be staying in stateroom 5201. Hope you are having a great 4th of July weekend
Hi John Thought that you would like toknow that Corky aka Chucky did his litte dance when you said TEXAS in the Cucina today August 7, 2011 and thanks for the strawberries

We met you on the Freedom in 2007, then again on the Splendor in 2008, then two more cruises on the Freedom and Splendor with Ron Pass. Now we are finally signed up for one of your Blogger cruises (Magic March 4, 2012) and looking forward to seeing you again as we celebrate our almost 35th anniversary (September 2012 but we are celebrating a little early). You certainly have been a loyal and valuable employee for Carnival – but way more than that you are certainly a very Good Will Ambassasor. See you in Galveston.
Love and Hugs to and your beautiful girls!

Hi John I will be partaking in the Western Caribbean Cruise on board the Carnaval Legend. I had quite the experience on my last Carnaval Cruise so I am back again with friends and family! As mentioned before, it was my first time cruising and I was quite overwhelmed with the many activities available. Is there anything you can recommend that can make my experience even more memorable?
Western Caribbean Cruise date will be on October 9-16
me and my best friend are going on our frist cruise sept 12 will you post on here if the weather may cause a change and if so will they go some where else? thanks again.
Dear John,
I am interested in the bloggers cruise, but due to the fact that I am wheel chair bound, I know I have to book through a special dept for my cabin. Is that possible to do? Thank-you,
Brenda
Just call special needs. the number is on the carnival home page
Hi John,
I was truly amazed about my recent experience on the Carnival Dream which went to the islands of Nassau,Grand Bahamas,St. Thomas Virgin Islands,and also St. Maarten. We encountered rough waters but our Captain Massimo Marino steered us out of harms way. The storm diverted and we set sail on our original course. The expertise of the staff and crew were terrific. The food was excellent. The comedy shows were great and Butch plus 6’3″ Amy was terrific. We had the time of our lives and a trip to remember for years. We plan on going on another cruise within a year or two. Thanks to the staff who made our trip so very memorable. Bon Voyage for now. Will return.
A very satisfied couple: Steve and LaVerne
Riviera deck room 1204.
WHAT NO NAKED TWISTER!!!
John – do you know if grill chicken breast will be available still on the lido deck. Currently I have that two or three times a week. I know that you will now have Guy burgers; however, since I am not a beef eater, that does not excite me (it does my husband). Unless Guy also decides to serve turkey burgers.
Thanks
John we had the privilege of having you on our very first cruise (mind you we had no clue who you were at the time).You made the cruise so much more fun. Loved ya!! Now we get the joy of having you again on the bloggers cruise. Never been on a bloggers cruise but looking forward to it. See ya in march!! Tina
My wife & I just came back from our 1st crise on a 7 day western caribbean & mexico. We had a terrific time and all the cruise crew were excellent specially Raj Chellam, Ni Made, Ma May, Calvert, Remesto, Milos were really helpful and very accomodating. We are already planning our next cruise with Carnival.
John-
I sit here in my underpants typing you this little note. I am an avid reader of your blog, and have finally booked the bloggers 5 cruise. Mach form the CC boards convinced me that this is a cruise not to be missed. I look forward to a week of new friends and tons of laughs! see you on the ship (please dont forget your pants)
john would guy consider doing sliders on whole wheat ?./i am gluetin in tollerrant if u can do whole wheat slider being that i have a small stomach .a full size burger would be a waste.though u have not repiled to me out of four e mail i wont hold my breath this time.
I new to this,just how do you join a bloggers cruise? My wife and I are sailing out of Galveston,Tx Nov 14 on the new Magic with our daughter and 2 grandkids. We can’t wait. We have loved every Carnival Cruise we have taken. We’re looking at a 12 day out of Barcelona for next year.
Hi John, I am really excited, me and my friend are turning 40 next year and we are taking both our families on the splendor 7 day cruise to Mexico, leaving March 11th. We are very sad you wont be on our cruise, you are one funny guy. Anyways, we are really having fun watching the webcams daily. Just wondering why you only have the two spots with webcams We would really like to see more areas or cams that rotate. Maybe I’m asking too much, but please think about it. Looking forward to our trip and many more after. Thanks for all you Facebook comments and blogs, really enjoying them. You ROCK!

Hey John! Looking forward to Bloggers Cruise five.

Dear John. a group of six of us have booked a cruise on the Costa Classica sailing out of Singapore on 16th March, 4 of us have previously cruised with Costa. Initially we had booked inside cabins and all-inclusive package, sadly due to current events off the coast of Italy thw women are petrifed. I have tried to placate them and I have asked Costa if we could have Free Upgrades to o/s cabins, initially they told me that the ship was fully booked and later on in the conversation they said that I would have to pay for the upgrades. there was no concern in thier conversation. We cannot afford to pay for the Upgrades and I know that it will be a nightmare experience if we do not get o/s cabins. So I implore you to find a way of making this a cruise to remember. In anticipation Yours S Mcwilliams, E A Mcwilliams A Dormer A griffith P Pavitt R Pavitt

I love viewing Mr. Radu’s photos on your blog. He is truly brilliant with his work! I just returned from the Magic, Jan 29th cruise and missed seeing him and attending a seminar. I think your idea of a seminar on each ship would be a terrific and well received idea. Guests would love it! Just don’t burn him out, allow him the freedom to keep going to ports and sharing. That makes a guest want to travel to the ports of call.
I have no idea what a “Bloggers Cruise: is but I am booked. I hope it means you will be the CD. If not, I hope it means you are on the ship and we get to meet a bunch of people who have joined this Blog. I’m game.
This is our cruise # 4–but I just recently joined Funville–excuse my lack of knowledge.
What can you tell me about the shows that will be on Miracle 3/17/12. We have 6 women sailing then. I have looked for things to do on ship,have not found much.

To whom it may concern:
We are both regular guests on the Carnival Dream and we loved our visit to the many interesting islands and we are going to be returning on Sept.29,2012. I have a general question which is: Who is our cruise director for the time we both will be on board? We are looking forward to coming back again. We love the ship and the crew.
Very satisfied guests LaVerne Wizy and Steve Cymbal. Ahoy mate!
Hi John,
Hope all is well! I need to sign up for the bloggers cruise, we booked it at our travel agent. So what do we need to do to get into the fun?
Carl and Sheila
PS we left a message at carnival headquarters for you did you get it?
John, I am not sure if you remember my post on Facebook but I am the one that will be on the January 19, 2013 cruise with my husband celebrating our 10th year wedding anniversary. I see that Bloggers Cruise 6 is on the same sailing! Does this mean that you will be on the sailing and if so, how do I participate?
Thanks,
Jeanne
John, tell us more about Bloggers Cruise 6 – we want to go – what special arrangements need to be made to part of this event? Thanks.
Sad to report the passing of Carol Schoenberger. She loved Carnival and John.
I sail in 4 days on the Carnival Imagination! This will be my 3rd cruise and I have a 4th one booked on the Ecstacy in Sept. My husband has food allergies and I’m so impressed by the way the Carnival dining room staff takes care of him every night. My hats off to them. One of these days I hope to sail with you John! Love your blog!
We had a terrible experience with Carnival’s Group booking reservations in Miami. Do not book with Carnival! They are awful! Such rude customer service. We are disgusted
They are not really rude, But I am not happy to talk to them. Sorry that I booked the cruise directly through their website. That’s a mistake. I should have let Carnival my travel agent book for me. Easier that way.
Seems like fun! What do you use to book the cruises? I know for Carnival it is good to use their main site, http://www.worldsleadingcruiselines.com – Seems to be the easiest way!
I am a food blogger and will be on the Med 10/1 cruise. Is their any way I can do some food reviews and/or get private tours in exchange for a few blog post?
Hi John,
Just a quick question. My husban and I will be sailing on the breeze Dec 8th 2012. Will you be on the ship then? We hope to see you then!
Thanks,

My family was on a 12 day cruise that departed Barcelona on about the 26th of June on the Carnival Breeze. You would think the highlights of the cruise were all of the wonderful ports of call, but one of the highlights was also the wonderful dinners. The food was great, but the service was outstanding. The first few nights we bounced around until we landed at Vitaliy’s table. He was the head waiter. Peter was the assistant and Slobodan was the beverage person.
Vitaliy’s professionalism added greatly to the dining experience. He was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I am retired Army Colonel and was raised in San Francisco. I have dined at many high end establishments. Quite frankly, I am surprised that Vitaliy is not working at 5 star restaurant. He certainly has all the right skills. It got to the point that he knew what we would order and his suggestions were always on the mark.
Peter was always friendly and took the extra time to get to know us personally, even when he was busy, he made us feel like we were special. He is perfectly suited for the cruise industry. He has tools beyond the dining room. We were amazed with his friendliness. Even though logically we knew were just another cruise in a long line for him, his enthusiasm gave us the impression that this was his first cruise and we were his favorite passengers. It is amazing how he keeps such a positive attitude after several months at sea.
Slobodan was always very polite and he remembered after the first night what we all drank, and who took decaf and regular coffee with dessert. We didn’t even have to ask.
We sat at their table for 9 nights.
The entire crew was very friendly, but these 3 stood out with their high level of service.
If I was a competitor, I would make them offers that couldn’t refuse.
If they worked in my city, that’s whether I would eat.
Carnival Cruise Lines should feel very fortunate to have these men as employees. You should promote them all as soon as possible.
Thank you for a wonderful cruise.
Sincerely,
Gerald N Niland

I’ve been on many cruises. this is the worst most aqful cruise I’ve ever been on. The food was awful and everything that is way too much to list. Just don’t do it!!!
Hi John –
Wife, daughter and I will be sailing with you on Jan 19. This will be our second cruise (first was on Liberty in 2010 with Butch).
I booked it before I knew it was Blogger 6, but I like blogging about favorite things football, music, politics to name three), so I am interested and intrigued by the opportunity presented, but am very ignorant of the associated expectations, requirements, etc.
Is there somewhere I could get more info?
Thanks.

John,
I wanted to email you and tell you that I just completed my 13th Carnival Cruise and I had the pleasure of being on the Legend 3rd time , loved every mineute of it even while we were fogged out of the port of tampa, That just extended my ship time, What an awesome and great Cruise it was. I really want to let you know about a few very special carnival staff that do not get the reconition there deserve, Firt of the Photo staff what a great job they do with the very long hours they work and all the wonderfull pictures they produce from the ship in such a short time. I also had the oppertunity of being able to visit with Captain Valpori whom has been the captain on 5 of my 13 sailings now he is off to retirement , what a Great Captain so friendly and caring Carnival Crusie Lines has the very best, Now… Let me tell you that I finally decided to do the Chef’s Table Oh my that was the most amazing tour and fun I have very had other than the BC5 21 tournament with you.Chef Panda he is an outstanding Chef I would do that again in a minute, I can not tell the Guest what they are missing by not taking the opportunity to particapate in this the best very best .., Please tell the Legend Staff thankk you so very much.

Hi John… my mother is going on the bloggers cruise on 1/19/2013. I know that there is a charge for internet access usually but she wants to know if internet is free as this is a “bloggers cruise” and she wants to bring her laptop.

Hi John,
I just love your blog,you are so cute.You have a great sense of humor and make me laugh. My husband and I are going on our 25th cruise on Carnival on Feb. 2nd out of Port Canaveral. Our home is in Cocoa Beach real close to the Port. We always look forward to the cruises they always treat us right. Maybe someday we will try to make the Bloggers Cruise. Till then keep up the good work.
Hello John I have become hooked on cruising and would love to be on the next bloggers cruise how do I become eligible for it?
I just returned from a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Dream. I am a single traveler and I am disspointed there are no price allowanaces for single travelers. The dining room personal found it awkward to seat me with other singles. Even though I had requested this when booking. There where no single meet and greet programs offered that I was aware of. I have experienced the same on othere Carnival trips have taken. Although I still enjoyed my time it could have been better.
Andy
I was on the “Blogger Cruise 6″. We didn’t book this cruise based on the Blogger event. I have to admit, I have no idea what this event was. Are all these people bloggers or just people that follow this blog? There’s scant information about what Blogger Cruise actually meant. I guess you get to be in a secret club and get a t-shirt.
We enjoyed the cruise anyway although Butch is a bit much to take (and the Hasbro game show is a complete dud in my opinion).
Just booked the bloggers cruise where do I sign up so I get to attend all the fun stuff?
Does my roommate need to sign up seperatly as she is a blogger or is just by the cabin?
Thanks Molly R
My wife and I were on the Breeze for a back to back cruise from Jan 19th through Feb 2nd. The ship and everyone involved were just great. The gal that did the Internet was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and helpful. This was our 17th Carnival cruise. We have never had a bad cabin steward but we have never had a better one than Jose who was our steward for this trip. The back to back part of this trip worked very well. Carnival has taking care of folks that stay on down to a science. They would have to try very hard to improve what they do know. We have already booked on the Valor for another back to back next January from San Juan. The only negative was we thought we were booked on the Bloggers cruise. When we checked about the only explanation we received was it was full and there must have been a paperwork snafu. Happy sailing – Mirth & Gale Westburg
John, I was on Bloggers Cruise #6. On the last night of the cruise I was notified that my brother had died. The purpose of this e-mail is to share with you the wonderful care and support I received from one of the staff on board. I hope that I remember the young lady’s name correctly–Valeria, and she was from Belarus. She was so helpful and kind and caring from then on until we left the ship. Carnival Cruise lines has a real gem in her. I would also like to thank carnival for allowing me to make as many phone calls as I needed to to various family members at no charge to me. In spite of the sad ending to our cruise, I would highly recommend Carnival Cruise lines any day. If you could convey to Carnival and, especially, Valeria, my heartfelt thanks, I would be grateful. Sincerely, Connie Moran
My husband & I booked the Carnival Sunshine for the Bloggers cruise sailing from New Orleans on Feb. 16, 2014 yesterday. How do we go about being included in the head count for Bloggers cruise? Just watched a video where John said the head count for bloggers cruise fills up fast and this is the top reason we booked this cruise date. Thank you.
Folks………..haven’t you realized yet that “you get what you pay for” and NOT a BIT more. You probably can’t find cheaper cruises than Carnival………..doesn’t that tell you something ?????????
Although I have been on 5 cruise lines so far, I have enjoyed Carnival the most. Could it be the melted chocolate cake desserts? However, we were disgusted that the shows at 7:00 and 9:00 were only on two nights of our last seven night cruise!!! We last went on the Norwegian Dawn, and neither the food nor service were great, but they had great shows every night at 7:00 and 9:00. Is there any way that Carnival can start having the big shows at an earlier hour?
Single passengers are not well recieved. I have cruised on 8 Carnival ships. The last one was The Dream from Pt. Canaveral. The ship is too big too inpersonal, The quality of service is low. The comedy clubs you are promoting are cheep and duscusting. I do not apprecitate someone on stage telling me to F myself. Also the entertainment on the big stage in the evening was not the quality it use to be. There was not meet and greet programs for single guests. This hurts as single passengers are paying full double fares.
Hi John,
You were our Cruise Director on the Ecstacy and one of the reasons why I wanted to share a fun ship cruise with my son. You made the cruise so much fun! As I read your blogs, I can hear your charming accent:)!
I just came back from a cruise on the Valor with Felipe Couto and told him how much I enjoyed cruising with you and he said that you were the inspiration and that you helped him to become a Cruise Director. He was absolutely fantastic! I didn’t think I could enjoy having a Cruise Director as much fun as you were, and he helped to make this an amazing “fun”tastic cruise. It’s so easy to see how much you both love your jobs! I love reading your blogs. Thanks again for making my first Carnival Cruise so special:)! I just wanted to share another fun Carnival experience with you:)!
great cruise on legend
