We loved Desmond too. He was amazing. Your mentioning his "why not?" response brought a huge smile to my face.

When we sailed on the Explorer in October 2013, near the end of the cruise he mentioned that he was going to retire from being a cruise waiter because he had done it for many years and wanted to spend more time with his family.

It's a loss for us cruisers, but there is probably no better rationale than that. He's a really great guy.

I have heard a lot about Dora the Explorer and Spongebob (ughh) on NCL ships and how kids are supposed to love it. Well, my family couldn't care less about them. We are big fans of the Ninja Turtles, however - especially the Nick CGI cartoon! So, is there any love for TMNT on the NCL ships?
