clerky96 Posted August 30, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Does it sound like Heeled? Halled? Hailed? He is going to be the CD on our Oct cruise and I was just curious how you pronounce his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oncruisecontrol Posted September 1, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thank you! Yep! That would be me! The older I get the "stupider" I become! LOL Is "stupider" a word? Sorry, couldn't resist. Your post was sincere, but also cute. I enjoy reading these boards. It reminded me of the time that a cruise director's name was misspelled in the Capers. It was misspelled in such a way that the vowel sound in his name was transformed. Example: the difference in pronunciation of the words "put" and "putt". For the remainder of that cruise we called him (amongst ourselves) by the pronunciation of the misspelling. It was a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megnolia Posted September 1, 2009 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is it really pronounced "heeled?" I have been thinking of it as "held" forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyoo Posted September 1, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2009 John was our cruise director on the Liberty and I thought it was "HELD". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted September 1, 2009 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Is it really pronounced "heeled?" I have been thinking of it as "held" forever! i've always thought heald (as posted above) = healed (in common AMERICAN pronunciation)... which isn't actually far off, at all, if you consider the consonants... and the brits are typically pretty close to the 'english standard' ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted September 1, 2009 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2009 John was our cruise director on the Liberty and I thought it was "HELD". or... ya know... why would there be that extra A? in heAld? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemon Posted September 1, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2009 John really doesn't care witch weigh ewe pronounce it....LOL.... I noticed many people said Held and some (especially Brits or Aussies) said Healed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyoo Posted September 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2009 or... ya know... why would there be that extra A? in heAld? ;) I'm just saying that cause that is how he was introduced.... your cruise director "John Held". That's what we heard everyone calling him that week. John Held... I don't personally know the man.. and a couple thousand people on the Liberty could have all been wrong.

jessemon Posted September 2, 2009 #19 Share Posted September 2, 2009 http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Heald HEELD. I think they mispelled it....I think it was a typo (hit the E twice) and was supposed to be HELD......LMAO..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savoia Posted September 2, 2009 #20 Share Posted September 2, 2009 'simply the best' :D I find him vulgar and tastless...it is shocking to see how he behaves in a public forum. One of these days, between his acts and his blog, he'll be on the recieving end of sexual based lawsuit. How on earth Carnival HR or Corporate has not roped him in is just incredible. One day he will cost the company millions with his choice of words and topic matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez....Look who is back.....:rolleyes: If you didn't notice this is called the "Fun Ship" cruiseline.....We are not real anal about humor. Maybe HAL, Princess or Cunard might be more your cup of tea.....;) By the way....How did you help answer the "OP's" question ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and stick to the subject at hand and not come into a thread with information that has nothing to do with what the OP has asked for. You probably do not like him because he talked about you on his blog LMAO. John has the best stories about some people that really are quite......

I read his blog once or twice and was a bit surprised by some things he said and wondered how a large corporation would allow him to represent them.
