Shellbelle28 Posted September 4, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2019 If anyone has had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Happy on a Norwegian cruise, you probably haven't forgotten him. Mr. Happy's positive outlook on life and and friendly persona had quite an impact on my husband and me when we met him aboard the Norwegian Pearl on an Alaska sailing in September of 2018 and we stayed in touch with him after the cruise. He's been unwell and hospitalized and has finally been allowed to go home. BUT, his doctor told him his travels are over. It makes me sad because I know how much it meant to him to travel and meet new friends and to view NCL crew as his extended family. So, in honor of Mr. Happy, I'll remind you all that you should make the best of every day and be good to each other! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingambler Posted September 4, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Beautiful sentiment So sorry to hear about Mr. Happy. You and your husband are wonderful people to stay in contact with him. Thank you for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinnieRed Posted September 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We were on the transpacific this past May and he took quite a spill in Moderno, being used for the Haven breakfast/lunch dining room. He seemed to bounce back pretty well at the time, but it was a hard fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew that was going to be his next cruise after the Alaska one, of course he didn't mention falling, just said it was amazing. He had a cruise coming up with his daughter that he's had to cancel. He said it's heart issues that have gotten his travel curtailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We met Mr Happy on one of our cruises can't remember what year exactly. He gave us 2 happy face key rings, one yellow and one pink, I still have them. We were talking about him a while ago and were wondering how he was, Thank you for the update and blessings to him. You guys look familiar too :-)...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't notice that Cruise Critic killed off the message signatures where you could see the cruises people had been on to cross reference whether we've sailed together. We've sailed: 9/3/2000 Alaska Norwegian Sky 9/1/2001 Hawaii Norwegian Star 10/20/2004 Mexican Riviera Norwegian Star 9/13/2015 Alaska Norwegian Pearl 9/16/2018 Alaska Norwegian Pearl 1/23/2020 Australia/New Zealand Norwegian Jewel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Girl Posted September 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hi! I am Mr. Happy's daughter and I will let him know about this thread. He will be so pleased to discover that people remember him fondly. He has had a rough few months but he is well on the road to recovery. He and I have been traveling companions since my husband and mother have both passed and I am happy to report that he is now talking about booking another cruise! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, what great news that you're planning a trip!!! He mentioned it, but then I thought maybe he wasn't going to be able to go. I was so sad when he told us he wasn't allowed to travel!

Replying to this old message in hopes Silver Girl will see it. I understand you and your dad have the Bliss booked the end of October? So happy he's getting to cruise! We may have a little surprise for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Girl Posted July 10, 2021 #14 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi! Yes, we just booked! Our original cruise on the Jewel in December was canceled so we are both excited to have this cruise to look forward to. I love the Jewel class ships and I am a little nervous about sailing on such a large ship for the first time but I’m so happy just to be going. I am having lunch with him this weekend and I’ll let him know about your post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to tell your dad, you can, or if surprising him would be fun, keep it quiet. We wanted to see him, so that's why we chose the date. I'd love to exchange email information to facilitate getting in touch. My address is mbuenzli@comcast.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadeki Posted July 10, 2021 #16 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We are still using key chains he gave us on a couple cruises years ago. Glad to see Mr. Happy will be cruising again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
