Yes, that's my friend, John Heald. I don't think anyone else could have gotten the ball rolling as quickly as he did. Then, of course, Risa just flat ran with it, bouncing ideas off me as she went. My email address is in my signature. I'll be thrilled to make sure that everyone is recognized for the part they played in making your cruise so memorable. WONDERFUL news about the whole family cruising. Please tell Katie I said hello and thank her for allowing me to play a part... Mach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkcor Posted November 12, 2008 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2008 You're right... it was John Heald. He's a great friend of Cruise Critic and, in particular, of my 'Cruisin' With the Crazies' cruise. He's going to be sailing with us, as a passenger... :) i figured - i couldn't imagine anybody else who could have, as you noted, pulled that one off so quickly... i've noticed that you have an effective working relationship with john - with this little act of magic, and now for the HC passenger with cabin problems... you're part of that equation, too - kudos for getting that ball rolling to such an effective end. i kind of see you as... cc's ambassador to carnival ;) maybe i'll see you crazies on the conquest some day - i planning on the conquest some time next aug/sept, and probably in the not-so-distant future - since she's just over an hour away :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpstateCruizer Posted November 12, 2008 #19 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Nope! I sail Saturday!! :) Mach will you be doing a live from thread of the sailing? Lots and lots of pics of course :) My dh and I will be sailing on the Splendor with you in April. Can't wait to meet you along with so many of the regulars from this board!

I have a great deal of respect for him. He has a HUGE heart and I am constantly in awe of how hard he works to make the cruise experience better for everyone, not just the occasional person who needs help. Watch over the next twelve months as changes on board Carnival ships occur... John will be at the tip of the spear driving those changes...

*Mach* Posted November 12, 2008 #21 Share Posted November 12, 2008 So if John's sailing with us how do we get to be at a table with him for at least one meal? Lottery, bribes.....? I know what you drink....:D All of our reservations are links... every single one for the Crazies. I can arrange for all of us to be in the same dining room but last time I checked there weren't tables for 300 available on the Conquest. ;) Trust me, we'll have plenty of one on one time with John. He's sailing with us because he wants to be part of the Crazies... Look at what he wrote on the back of my 'Scot... and now he is!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mach - I think this is how a lot of people feel about you here on CC. You definitely do all you can to make the cruise experience better for everyone. Whether it's giving info for setting up a M&M, giving hurricane/weather updates, writing wonderful reviews or getting all of us together to see a gigantoball in Dallas. Your love for cruising and your gift for people is evident, we're blessed that you are willing to share that love. Thank you Mach, I raise a DOD to you!! Enjoy the Splendor and I for one am looking forward to your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
