Well here we go again, another week on your Carnival Magic and we have three days left of this 12-day cruise. I haven’t been sleeping well, don’t know why but it doesn’t matter because I am alive and well and so are you.  I say this because this time last week we were all supposed to be dead and Henry O and his mates would be standing at the Pearly Gates being welcomed into heaven while me and a few of you would be in hell surrounded by fire and brimstone and nonstop Celine Dion music for eternity.

It’s great to hear her say the word “ Carnival” after all these years isn’t it and Kathie, if we could see you now …………..we would say thank you for all you did for us here at Carnival. You were part of a winning formula. Kathie Lee + Fun = Carnival. We miss you.

Today, on the Carnival Magic, John experienced one of the proudest moments of his career when he was given the chance to interview three esteemed members of the Carnival family. These men are truly an integral part of Carnival’s heritage, as well as the foundation of our company. I hope you enjoy this brilliant interview, and as always, we WYWH.

Yesterday evening, Italy time, I had a conference call about the naming ceremony of your Carnival Magic and thanks to the mute button I could sit there, listen, answer Facebook questions and fart……… And none of the dozen or so people on the call were any the wiser. I was talking to ……….or rather not talking to………..a group of people from our Miami office.

Bugger! Me and my massive tunnel sized mouth which has yet again made me a resident of S**t Street.

You may remember how a few months ago, in a moment of girly weakness I asked Heidi if there was anything special she would like to do when I got home from the Carnival Splendor. I realised as soon as I had asked the question that I was going to be in trouble and hoped I would get away with something like a romantic dinner at an overpriced restaurant that serves bits of food stacked on top of each other and with a sauce that is drizzled.

Good morning everyone, this is Heidi and for those of you who are new to the blog thingy, I am John’s wife and John’s donkey. I will tell you what I mean in a minute but I wanted to say a very big thank you for your kindness and all the presents you have sent to Kye from the Bloggers Cruise. She loves all her Barney things and I love it because she loves it and Barney loves her and I love it even more because anything purple now drives my loving husband absolutely crazy so thank you everyone and I know I will see many of you on the Carnival Magic this year.

Hello Bloggers, Eric the Beard here! I don’t know about you but I’ve just now FINALLY recovered from all the fun that took place on Bloggers Cruise 4 and all of its Glory! (See what I did there?)

To be honest, I was severely deprived of my regular tofu consumption throughout the trip (I totally forgot to pack my emergency tofu kit from home) and towards the end, I have to say I was getting a bit weak in the knees, a little delirious, and my beard even started wilting a bit… it was quite scary. (I think I need to talk with the Food & Beverage Manager about future Lido dining options…)

Outside of Grand Turk — and in front of some almost blindingly blue water — John and Emmet say hello from Bloggers Cruise 4.
