Artemus Posted October 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I don't know if this is old news or new news, but my head waiter on the Pride last week told me John Heald is coming to the Pride in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pirate4me2 Posted October 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Really? I would love to have him on board for our March 13, 2016 cruise, which is 14 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.capitan Posted October 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2014 It may be new news to John. :p After the Blogger's cruise on Breeze he will be bouncing around so could be on Pride for a little bit and then back to Alaska on Carnival Legend.

montekat Posted October 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We will be on the Pride in April of 2015. Should be interesting to have him as a CD as we have heard so much about him and it would be good to have first hand knowledge. Thanks for posting!

If you do an advanced search, you will see that after the March 8th cruise, the Pride will be sent back to Baltimore to continue sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, thanks. We sailed with him five years ago and his Welcome Aboard show was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog1958 Posted October 15, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I don't know if this is old news or new news, but my head waiter on the Pride last week told me John Heald is coming to the Pride in 2015. When the re-positioning cruise from tampa to Baltimore was announced he said he might like to be on that cruise. That could be when he is joining the pride. I don't care myself who the CD is, but the good thing about him being on the ship is that everyone will follow him around saying brilliant, so if I avoid where he is, it will seem less crowded on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The schedule right now only shows through Jan. 2015. So we will see.... I'll be on that repo cruise, can't wait! :) Well, we know he won't be on it in August... I asked him.

mickym Posted October 15, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 15, 2014 We took our first cruise on the Carnivale in 1990 to celebrate our 25th Ann. and John Heald was our CD. We will be on the Pride in Jan. to celebrate our 50th it would have been so neat if he would have been our CD again. Sounds like not the case.

mississauga Posted October 15, 2014 #21 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The only 2 ships that John Heald will definitely be on in 2015 are the Breeze and the Legend. He will be on the Breeze Jan 25- Feb. 9 but not as the CD. He will be on Jan 25 to prepare for his Bloggers cruise and then for the Jan 31 Bloggers one. He has said he has signed a contract to be on the Legend Alaska season. It is just an educated guess but I doubt he will be on the March Pride repositioning. I know he has posted that he would like to be on it but he has said that about a lot of cruises in the past and not been on them. Why? Since he has committed to being on the Legend for the Alaska season, my gut feeling is that he will take March and April off to be home with his family. His schedule changes so often that nothing is guaranteed. Sometimes because of his duties as the brand ambassador and sometimes because of personal reasons. Never book a cruise based on where you think he will be. Others have been disappointed when his schedules changed and in the last couple of years, that has happened a lot.

bambilin Posted October 15, 2014 #22 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well, we know he won't be on it in August... I asked him. He will be back in Alaska. Bum. :( Rats!!

We were on in Dec. You would have known if he were the CD. He was everywhere running everything! Cruising was very different back then wasn't it.

cv322 Posted October 16, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I was on the Pride last week too...and we asked the same question...and we were told that John would not be on for the repo in March. :(. Darn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
