    • Jessica says:

    I sailed on carnival Inspiration on March 2010 and I loved it!!!

  3. Cheryl says:

    Hey John!!! Was wondering if you got the Piano Bar schedule yet?? Totally hoping the next Piano Person on the Legend – starting 5/15 – is good!!!

    Thanks bunches!

  4. Bruce Camiller says:

    Who will be the ACD on Carnival Magic?

  5. Roxianne says:

    Marcelo is the BEST Asst CD. He will be a GREAT CD but I would hate it because you always see more of the Asst CD than you do the CD.

  6. +darcy mccullough says:

    Hi are you actually affliated with the Carnival cruise line> I find your website unusual for the typical Carnival cruise line. It reminds me of a website out of Utah or something? Thanks darcy

    • Betty says:

      Darcy,
      Yes, John is for REAL.. He is a SENIOR CRUISE DIRECTOR!! And yes, he is employed by Carnival. Read his blogs from the beginning of when he started the blogy thingy..

      TOOTLES!!

  7. Jo says:

    so you’re the big kahuna i’ve been hearing so much about,,, i’m happy to say i’ll be sailing w/ ya in July to Italy can’t wait for all the fun,,ciao bello

  8. John Heald;
    Been on many Carnival Ships along with many other cruise line ships, some 75 cruises. I have never been able to get a behind the scenes tour. My wife recently read that the Dream has a Behind The Scenes Tour that only takes 32 people and has a cost of $90.00. My wife and I are booked on the Dream for our 51st wedding anniversary on the Dreams’ May 7,2011 cruise
    I was wondering if you could help us get a reaservation for this tour. We only need one space as my wife would not be able to do so much walking.

    Any assistance you could give us would be greatly appreciated.

    • Jodi Bourdon says:

      Edward, Do take the behind the fun tour. It is very interesting. My husband and I took it on the Liberty last October and loved it. We will be cruising on the Dream in August and my husband is going to do it again this time with my son.
      As soon as you get onboard go straight to the excursion desk and book the tour. They do not book them ahead of time. We did and we were the first ones to book it. Our tour was not even full.
      Have a great time and a wonderful cruise

  9. Karen Geisel says:

    John, Well it seems like you are the most sought after cruise director ever; so I was really excited to find out you will be our cruise director on the Magic when we sail in December. This is our first cruise so be gentle with us please LOL. Can’t wait to sail with you.
    Karen

  10. Ron Arant says:

    How about a soup bar on the ship? You have the Deli Bar and where I come from, soup and sandwiches go great together. It will also make a big hit for those who like to have a light lunch. This would be a big hit on all the ships and I know that all the people would take part in it just like they do the salad bars. And for those who get a little sea sick, there is nothing like Chicken Soup to get you back on your feet.

    Ron

  11. Ruth says:

    I look forward to meeting you on the Magic on May 22nd! It is amazing how you are able to do it all.

    See you soon, Ruth

  12. Victoria says:

    We are looking forward to seeing you John, on our Magic cruise in December.

  13. Kim says:

    who is the cruise director for Splendor?

  14. Jon says:

    John,

    I am going with my wife and a group of friends on the Freedom 10/8 this year, and was looking for suggestions you may have for onboard activities, and shore excursions to places like antigua, tortola, and st thomas. I have never been to these ports before and was looking for some expert advice! I enjoy the blog and enjoy your time on the Magic…I look forward to sailing on it one day.

  15. Christina Thomas says:

    So when John be the CD on the Magic 02-12-2012?

  16. Erica Hart says:

    Hey there John! When is the schedule for July going to be posted? We are sailing on the 9th of July :)

  17. sally says:

    Inquiring minds want to know. What can you tell us about the CD and ACD for the Magic TA? You do know, I am sure, that a number of people cancelled when they found out you would not be the CD. They signed on just because of you.

    hey! We just scheduled our January 2012 cruise on the Dream! Can’t wait! We haven’t been on a “newer” ship in a long time. I was wondering when the CD schedule will come out for 2012.??

    Thanks and keep up the great blog!!

    • David Horn says:

      The Dream is a awesome ship Katie. We went on it April 30th 2011 to the Western Caribbean. The boat, staff, and food were great. Your gonna have a geat time, Enjoy!!

    • Lorenzo Giannobile says:

      you r going to love this boat!! i mean LOVE IT!!! have a graet time

  20. David Horn says:

    Hey John, I’ll be sailing on the Breeze April 27 2013. I was curious if you will be on the ship at this time?

  21. Wayne Holmes says:

    Nice to see Destiny has a new ACD!
    The idiot we had just loved the sound of his own voice and he owes me $50 for a lost bet.

  22. TeddyN says:

    just a little “FYI” for you. You need to get the good people in Miami to update the “Sail with John” page. It still shows that you will be on the TA and also your time off this summer is incorrect. Trying to save you some grief from troll’s that look for ways to harm you and Carnival

  23. Hannie de Goede says:

    Hey John, Just read that you will sail the Magic on 09/04/2011, sadly for you your vacation will be over but lucky for us. Looking forward to see you.Give my regards to Heidi (she was the international rep.at sea on the Triumph)She made the cruise for me and my sister unforgetable and it was very special that we could talk our own language(dutch).

  24. Suzanne Celentano says:

    Hi John,
    My parents and I traveled with you way back in November 1991 on the Holiday. We sailed from Miami to the western caribbean for 7 nights. You were so wonderful and so CRAZY that we have never forgotten you! You absolutely MADE the cruise for us! I believe I have a picture that I will have to send later. Anyway…I see the cruise director schedule is posted until the end of the year. When will the schedule be posted for 2012? We would love to sail with you again, but we are not able to go this year. I am looking forward to your response and Congratulations on your tenure at Carnival. I hope the “beards” know what a valuable asset you are to Carnival!!

    TA and for several vacations

    Any chance of getting updated Fun Times for the Splendor since the CD just changed? Am cruising in under a month and would love to see them.

    Thanks!

    John’s next sailing will be: On the Carnival Magic starting May 1, 2011 until the end of the year. does this mean that you are going to be on the magic on the 26th august ? i am going to bee there… are you john ?

  30. Enjoy reading your blogs and experiences. I use to be a cocktail pianist in the early 90′s onthe American Hawaii Cruise Ships that left out of Honolulu. Enjoyed it very much. Keep up the great work!

    Please confirm Chefs Table Dinner on 10/29/11 on the Magic for 2 people. Frances/

      Hello Frances,

      Please send all request for Chef table to Ask John page.

      Have a wonderful evening.

      Thank you.

      • Frances Haver says:

        I am the travel agent for Frances requesting this for her. HOW do I go to “ask john”? This is not a normal item for me to handle and finding the “blog” was hard and confussing enough. Please make this easy for me!!!!! It is very frustrating when the res agents at Carnival don’t even know how to get to the blog let alone an ask John page.

  32. Suzanne Celentano says:

    John,
    When will the 2012 CD schedule be out? I am wondering what ship you will be on next year. Please let us know as soon as you can!

  35. Hannie says:

    Hello John, Just want to ask if you will be the CD on the Magic that sails on sept 4th.(2011).If so do you need some “dubbel zoute drop” just let me know, also if Heidi is in desperate need of some homecountry stuff just let me know and i will see what i can do.
    I hope that during our 12 days we will meet and have time to shake hands.
    Kind regards Hannie.

  36. Bob Markle says:

    John – We sailed the Dream in 1/11 and did the chefs table which you helped arrange. I know the Breeze isn’t sailing until next year, but we have booked it already for the 1/5/13 sailing. I know the chefs table only takes 12 people, but we are traveling with 14 or 15 people… question..would they allow this many for 1 night with the chefs table????

    Hello John, Just saw on your facebook(I don’t have it I have real friends hihihihi)that there will be a possible itinerary change for the upcoming cruise. We sailed Europe a lot and want to let you know that this change in our opinion is great. So for all the people on this cruise don’t worry Marseille is very nice.
    See you sunday woehoe !!!!!!

    The Carnival Breeze 11/24/12 8 day cruise will be my 5th with Carnival. Carnival is the only line I will sail. Is it true that you will be the CD for our cruise? That will be a dream come true, to be a passenger on a cruise with the Legendary John Heald! Thank you.

    • elaine says:

      maybe we’ll see you on board as hubby and I will be on that sailing also

      AND I have been asking this same question for over a month now and never have received a reply. hope you have better luck

      I’ll be watching my email for a reply. hope one of us gets one

  42. Linda huneycutt says:

    Enjoyed reading about the ship (Pacfic Princess) we will be cruising Oct.27th. We (my husband and another couple) are leaving the 22th flying to Europe we will be boarding the ship on 27th in civitavecchia,Italy returning to Ft. Lauderdale Dec 20th. I have been on several cruises and I was concerned about going on “a smaller” ship. BUT, after reading your article you certainly but my mind at ease. I am ” now” really forward to seeing just what it will be like going on Smaller Ship!
    Thank you, Linda :)

  43. Maria Tapang says:

    Hello John

    Is the assistant director like the MC on the cruise? Is this the person that is speaking to the guests over the loud speaker?

    I cruised on the Liberty on May 1, 2010, and loved the MC. I recall he mentioned he would be moving to I believe was the Dream Ship. I was wondering what his name was. He was an excellent MC.

    We will be sailing on the Liberty again with my husbands entire family in May 2012.

    Looking forward to our upcoming cruise.

    Best,

  44. Dieter Heinzer says:

    Hi John,

    We’re booked on the Magic Feb 26th, 2012, and are REALLY hoping you will be the CD!! We were on the “Dottie cruise” with you in ’96 and have cruised many times since then, but never with any CD anywhere near you caliber!

    Here’s hoping we picked the right week and will enjoy your unique skills once more…

    Cheers,

    - Dieter

  45. Hi John!
    Great blog as usual.
    My question is a bit unusual I fear. My family just left the Legend in August. We came home and booked three more cruises! We cruise the Paradise this December, we cruise the Sensation in January 2012, and we cruise the Dream in March 2012. Please tell me I don’t have a problem! We just enjoy our trips with Carnival so much!
    Do you think I am addicted to Carnival???
    Regards, Evelyn

  46. Becky Gaynor says:

    John, I have clients on the Magic May 27, 2012, booking number 769nq0. They would very much like a table for 4. I was told that you can help me with this?

    Well John, now you’ve done it! You’ve taken Butch off the Dream, and removed any hope of Todd on our 26 Nov cruise. You will be off to some WalGreens somewhere buying nose spray. What are we gonna do for a Cruise Director on our cruise? Are you gonna let us entertain ourselves? Yeah! Mandatory Karaoke, OMG, HELP! Give us a CD, please..LOL

  49. tim says:

    wheres is “Wee Jimmy”?

    • Maurice R. says:

      Tim,

      you say Where is Wee Jimmy? Not to be mean, But I hope he isn’t a CD anymore. His arrogance and demeanor is by far under CCL Standards compared to any other CD I have experienced. Wee Jimmy should be doing any job that doesn’t involve direct contact with Cruisers

  50. Debi & Rick Nelson says:

    Dear John,
    My family & i are going on the Dream 11/26/11, We are staying in the family suite rooms. Are they roomy? Are there alot of activties for the children? Ages 9,7,6.
    Me & my husband havent been on a cruise since our honeymoon, 11yrs ago, . This cruise was suppose to be for me & hubby for our anniversary but we are now taking the children. So i wanted to know what has changed?
    Debi & Rick Nelson

  51. Kevin and Hue says:

    No Way! John, does this mean you will be our CD 1-29-2012 on the Carnival Magic? Say it is so. We can’t wait to meet you My friend. Happy cruising!

    • Kathy says:

      We are just off the Oct 23rd legend cruise out of Tampa. We had looked forward to having ” Wee Jimmy” as our CD due to the raves on C.C. etc. We only saw him at the shows in the evening, and at the love and Marriage show. I liked his humour but would have liked to have seen more of him around the ship. I felt his entertainment staff were not up to scratch at all. { I am a long time cruiser and this group were the worst.} i.e. mini golf tournament; No scorecards offered, we were told to keep our own score, Tardy timekeeping at Trivia. Dee the comedy host was rude and was out of her depth in her role. Anyway I feel if Jimmy had monitored them he, as a professional would not have liked what he was seeing. That said, it didn’t ruin our cruise and I plan on booking another.

  52. Shirley Huffman says:

    Hi, John! We have a cruise booked for Feb,5 2012. How far in advance do you know which ship you’ll be on? We’re thinking of booking the magic for the first week in Feb.2012. I’d just love for you to be our cruise director. We won’t be able to book till next year, but I’ll wait to book if you’ll know where you’ll be. THanks!!!

  53. Kim Millier says:

    Do you know when the 2012 Cruise Director schedule will be posted? We are planning a cruise in April for my husband’s 50th birthday and wanted to know who the CD is on the ship’s we are considering.

    We always Book Deck 8 Cabin 8455 on the corner.
    Looking for too see you guys again.
    Thanks Again Jacques for a GREAT 8 DAYS on the SEA.

  57. Sue March says:

    Your reputation is widespread…even heard about you while on a Princess cruise ship. We will be on the Magic on the 11th and I think the schedule shows you’ll be sailing with us. This is a multiple celebration for us. 3 out of 4 have December birthdays, hubbie is celebrating end of chemo and it’s a family reunion! (and 2 are cruising for the first time)

  58. elaine says:

    okay I’m confused… I was told John was going to be cruise director on the Breeze but now read the Magic. does this mean he’s on the Magic till THE Breeze is built and then coming to the BREEZE? or not????????????

  59. Charissa says:

    Hi John. When would the 2012 CD list be published?

  60. Maureen Ginty says:

    Leaving Saturday Dec 10th on the Liberty Really looking forward to it

  61. Heather says:

    We have traveled with you before and loved every minute of it. So much that we tell our friends and family that if ever the chance they should cruise with you as their CD. My husband and I will be planning our 10 year anniversary trip for sometime in the fall of 2012. Do you know when the CD schedule for June-December 2012 will be posted? Or even better, what ship you will be on? Thanks for your time. Heather George

  62. Regina Thibodeaux says:

    Hi John,

    I hope you are enjoying your time with your family. We are sailing this summer on the Magic(July 1 ). We were hoping to meet you , but it looks like you will be off on the next new ship. My family and I have sailed with Carnival for many years and haven’t had a chance to meet you. A good cruise director can make for a good vaction.We were on the Valor last summer and Goose was alot of fun. He was very friendly and always out and about speaking with Guests. I think this is the kind of service that makes one remain loyal to Carnival. I also want to recognize someone you proably don’t know. Her name is Jacquelyn Spier a personal vacation planner. I have never met Jackie , but when I call her to plan our next vacation she treats me like a million bulks. She always speaks to me like we are in a face to face conversation. She is the reason we remained loyal to Carnival this year. Jackie is always pleasant and fun to talk to. Look her up. She deserves to be recognized.

    Thanks,
    Regina

    John, I recently boarded the Freedom. Fabulous cruise. It seems there are not as many engagements catetered to the singles as once was. I used to be able to cruise as a single and pay single rate, and then attend various single cocktail parties and events. Does not seem to be that way anymore. the last cruise I was on, was in Sept of 2011 on the Freedom. The ONLY event singled out for singles was a night in Scott’s Piano lounge with Marty. It was great fun, but never was a mention of it being singles night announced, or made a deal of. It was couples all through the place, and not a bit of a flare of a singles event. I love Carnival….I do….Please help out such a lad with the finances of cruising single and events to attend while cruising!!!!! thank you for your time and consideration. I am ready to book my next cruise. just waiting for a bit more accomodations regarding such…thank you for your help.

  64. Teri says:

    How do we get a reservation for the Chef’s Table? We’ll be sailing on the Fantasy on Sept 15, 2012.

    Happy New Year John, My husband and I are booked on the Magic Jan 22. Wondering if you are on for that week. We sailed with you years ago and loved you. It was our 4th CC and now we think this will be our 15th(lost count,they are so much fun!) Would love to have you again. When we crusied with you the first time, you said it was your last cruise. I think before moving into your postion now. Do you remember that cruise? Love to read your blog, very addicting for someone like me that loves Carnival Cruise! Hope we see you in a few weeks. Thank you for all the info you give us. Nancy Robbins

  91. AJ says:

    Hi John!
    We are cruising on Glory leaving Miami April 22. Can you tell me who the cruise director will be for our cruise……we wish it to be you…

    Thanks

  92. Barry says:

    How about the 2012 schedule. We are cruising on the Magic in July and hope that John is the CD.

  93. Julie says:

    Hey just checking to see if you would be on the new ship Carnival Breeze next February.

  94. Tony Gonzales says:

    John: Had the pleasure of sailing with you for 12 days in July of 2006 on the Liberty which I believe was Carnivals newest ship at the time. You made that cruise memorable. Now I see that you will be on the Breeze at least until June of 2012. My wife and I hope that you are still on her when we arrive to sail the Breeze on July 9th. We will be sailing with a couple that we met on this cruise in 2006 and have remained great friends ever since. Please say that you’ll be on to celebrate our return to Europe.

    I was looking for the assistant cruise directors list, and though the there seems to be a link to it, when I click on it, it says “Page not found.” Is this a problem with my computer, or with the website?

  96. Linda Park says:

    I hope that you put a new schedule up with the entire Summer season. I see John is on the Breeze, end of June & July. We are sailing Aug 2, 2012. Hope to meet you then!

    Hello John,
    My husband and I took our first cruise many moons ago on the Triumph and you were the cruise director on that trip. You even picked my husband out of the audience to come on stage the first night. He was mortified while I laughed my butt off!! We are looking to go on a cruise this fall sometime between October and November and were wondering what ship (if any) you might be on. We would love to see you again. I tried to check the schedule but the date is from 2011. Is there a 2012 to check or maybe you could just let me know?? For the last couple of years we have been struggling with our business and have finally decided to take some time off and treat ourselves. We often talk about our first cruise and the great memories we have, that being said we would love to go on another where you will be because we know we will have a great time again. We love you so much and follow your blog (gives us a little humor in our lives hehehe). Thanks and soooo sorry you missed Peppa Pig ;)

    Sincerely,
    Kelly Belton

    Hey John…
    Any idea who is CD on the Magic on the October 21 – 28, 2012 sailing.

    I know this may sound like a silly question but it’s important! We’re sailing in two weeks on the Freedom and we want to know if they serve nuts on the buffets, and I mean other than the human ones!

  101. elaine says:

    please update the “sail with John” link. thanks

    PS … I have clicked the link at the bottom as well but it doesn’t go to the end of the year.

  102. Eileen Lacy says:

    Where can I find the up to date schedule of cruise directors. I keep getting the schedule for 2011.

  103. Jessica says:

    Dear John

    I am looking for the 2012 Cruise Director schedule. The only one I found was for 2011. Is there an up-to-date schedule?

  104. Lisa says:

    Hi John:
    looking to find out how to get in touch with other passengers ready to cruise on the Destiny on April 16th. I am a single mother travelling with one of my daughters..she is 18. Would love to try to meet other parents travelling alone?

  105. John Collier says:

    I was looking for the Cruise Director Schedule for 2012 and all I can find is the schedule for 2011. We sail on Fascination on August 4 this year for our 33rd Wedding Anniversary and was just curious who the cruise director would be. Thanks and keep up the great job you and the fine folks at Carnival are doing.

  106. Krystal B. says:

    Hey, John! I just came off of a wonderful cruise aboard the Valor and I loved every minute of it! I’m already planning another cruise for December of this year and I think I’d like to do the same 6-day cruise (or possibly a 7-day) aboard the Valor with the same CD/ACD (Goose/Everson…they were awesome!)I’ve already looked at the CD schedule for part of this year, but I can’t seem to open the ACD schedule. Help! Where might I be able to find that??? Thanks!

    John,
    Can you tell us who will be the cd on the Breeze Dec.2? We are hoping it will be you. Make 3 sisters dream come true.

    Karen

  109. John says:

    Is there a 2012 schedule since I’m sailing on Victory 9/23/2012

  110. Tam says:

    How hard is it to put an up to date CD schedule on a blog? The link above which says it takes you to the most up to date schedule is linked to one from the 2nd half of 2011. The link at the bottom of the page that says 2012 CD schedule is only for the 1st half of 2012. Is there a schedule out yet for the 2nd half of 2012?

    Thank you

  111. Jenn N. says:

    Hi John,

    Any chance of getting an updated CD schedule for 2012? I said on the Breeze in Dec. and hope we get someone great (loved Goose, Butch was so-so). Thanks!

  112. Leigh S. Jones says:

    The link from the “Sail with John” page points to the “2011 CD Schedule”. I was wondering if there is a “2012 CD Schedule” also?

  113. richard hercock says:

    Hi John
    We took our honeymoon in the Caribbean in 2005, you were cruise director, and we bring our four four year old on the Breeze on June 15. Are you on board then?
    Cheers
    Rich (UK)

  114. Pierre says:

    I think you should check this page with the “MOST” up-to-date Carnival Cruise Director schedule link. It’s still says May-December 2011.

    My son works for Carnival on the Imagination as a drummer. Can you please email me?
