CARNIVAL MIRACLE TO OFFER YEAR-ROUND EIGHT-DAY CARIBBEAN/BAHAMAS CRUISES FROM NEW YORK BEGINNING IN APRIL 2012
Line’s First Year-Round Departures from the Big Apple
MIAMI (June 15, 2011) – Carnival Cruise Lines will launch a year-round program of eight-day cruises to the Caribbean and Bahamas from New York beginning in April 2012 – the line’s first year-round sailings from that port.
On this schedule, Carnival Miracle will offer three uniquely different eight-day itineraries that visit a diversity of beautiful islands throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas. The itineraries include:
All men are created equal so said some wise man who probably had a beard, wore sandals and meditated while sitting on a spike…………unfortunately he was talking bollocks.
You could give me the same ingredients that our Executive Chef Peter uses and put me in the same kitchen with the same equipment, and even though we have exactly the same number of hands, fingers and thingies ……. I can absolutely guarantee that I’d end up with a plate full of crap that even a hamster that hasn’t eaten in 12 days would turn his little furry nose up at.
Last night Heidi and I watched a movie. It was probably the wrong movie to watch before bedtime but I had spent 7 straight hours at the computer Facebooking, blogging and paper working so a movie seemed the right medicine to take my mind of everything. The movie we chose was 127 Hours. It was an OK movie I guess but sitting there I felt a little bit weird waiting for the film’s one interesting scene where the ridiculously good looking climber hacks off his arm with a Swiss Army penknife. It was a bit like watching Basic Instinct only for the bit where Sharon Stone crosses her legs revealing for a nanosecond the sight of her lady garden.
Before I start today’s blog I need to educate my North American friends about how we British spend our vacations, or to use proper English…….how we spend our holidays. First of all there are the people who refuse ever to leave the comfort of the Great Britain and this means holidaying by car.

The United States Coast Guard and United States Public Health require that each and every crew member hold a complete medical which are kept in the ship’s medical centre. This shows that each of the crew is medically fit to serve on board. And of course the medical evaluations are also a requirement of Carnival as well because they provide full and complete medical coverage for every crew member. Pretty much everything is included with the exception of breast enhancement or indeed reduction. I know this for a fact because I asked and Carnival said “No, we will not pay to have your breasts reduced, John.”
As well as 11,000 plus Carnival fans being able to talk with me and each other, Facebook has allowed some of my old friends from the 80′s to reconnect with me. One of those is a wonderful lady called Samantha who I knew from my days as a spotty 18 year old. Well, she got it in touch with me via Facebook the other day and as soon as I saw her name I could think of only one thing ……………… (more…)
Let me get this over with at the start of today’s blog and I say this with apologies to the many, many Abba fan’s out there, especially my friend Mr Bentley. But my night at the theatre watching Mamma sodding Mia was bloody awful. I was there because of my hippopotamus sized gob (www.urbandictionary.com for the word gob) that in a moment of weakness and a promise of rumpy pumpy I had told Heidi that I would indeed go to the theatre with her. We then had rumpy pumpy and three minutes later when it was over, so too was the memory of my promise.
I truly don’t like coconut. I haven’t since I was a child. And I hate it or anything with coconut in it. I’d rather lick the back end of a camel……..then eat coconut. I don’t like prunes, either. Or Simon Cowell. I know that he has a pancreas and a thingy and all the other things that qualify him to be classified as a member of the human race but he makes my hemorrhoids flare up, and I find myself hoping that just once one of his TV shows will have lower ratings than American Monk, Vow of Silence.
Yesterday I went to London to meet with a lovely lady from Carnival UK called Carly who had asked me to do a welcome video for their new UK website which will be up and running in April. This was followed by an interview with a lovely lady called Sue Bryant from a British national newspaper called The Daily Telegraph. She has also written for Cruise Critic UK and is not only a brilliant writer but an expert on travel, cruising and Turkish wine. Anyway, there I was in London so after the interview I walked back over Tower Bridge, past the Tower of London where the crown jewels and Prince Charles’ bollocks are kept and that’s when I saw something strange.
When you stay in hotels as much as I have these past few years since I was anointed Brand Ambassador, certain things start to really get on your tits……….that’s a very British saying by the way and if I was talking about your tits I wouldn’t have used that word……….I would have used nerves instead of tits. But as they are my tits that I am talking about………I can say tits and nobody can say anything about it.
