Shaft part 1 This is not true. I was going to say this is

Shaft part 1 This is not true. I was going to say this is bollocks but I won t. However, at this point I had not used the F word because the reports from the engine room were that all the teams could see was thick white smoke no flames just thick white smoke. And those words had been repeated to me by the captain when he had me make announcements. He used the word smoke not fire and so those were the words I had repeated to the guests. So now the crew were at their emergency stations and when I say the crew I mean every single crew member went immediately because the Carnival crew are brilliant are not Greek and thus in the lifeboats before the guests. During the next 10 minutes I kept talking to the guests reminding them to stay in their cabins and did my best to keep them calm. I also spoke to the crew, telling them to remember their training and to also stay calm. And they did, both the guests and the crew did exactly what I asked of them and meanwhile I waited for the captain to tell me what was next. And what was next was that the smoke was so intense and so thick that even with breathing apparatus on the teams could not get close to the source. I looked at Captain looked back at me and shook his head slightly and that s when I ruined a really good pair of underpants.

I ve said this over and over CCL is so over the top in all they do! Kudos to you all. looking forward to the next part. John you guys are amazing. I always feel safe onboard and I know you guys worked your butts off to keep people safe. I know you guys really tried to make the best of a rotten situation. I hope all is well with you and the crew. I am looking forward to reading the true saga of the Splendor and not the hyped-up stories from the media. I can say that most reports have given you kudos for keeping everyone calm and entertained. Many people have also praised the crew as well. Hats off to you, your crew and Carnival Corporation for helping the shaft part 1 cope with a not so nice situation. Had I been on that cruise, it still would have been fun because you were there. Hope you enjoyed your hot shower and clean undies. Good to hear from you John. Saw you on the news, you are truly amazing! I know it was you that held everything together. And most of the pax getting off the ship here in SD were in good spirits and had praises for you and Carnival. In fact, one gal wrote a song to the tune of Gilligan s Island about the adventure as pax were calling it and you were mentioned in it! well john i am crying and laughing at the same time i knew you d handle this brilliantly and you did! waiting for more I m so glad everyone was ok. I was just on the Splendor in September and I m sad to hear that she had such trouble. Great job, John, I think you and the Carnival crew handled the situation amazingly!! John I am so glad you are back it was a little crazy for me taking care of your million billion FB fans !!!!!! glad u r ok and so glad there was no was that a special request from you? : John, I feel like I was there with your description. I m waiting for the next installment. Kudos to you and the entire Splendor team for doing a fine job in this emergency. We ve watched many, many reports and the majority have talked about how great the crew and especially you were during this situation. Carnival should be proud of their team! since I am weeks away from my first Carnival cruise, let me assure you that I do not want to be there. Hope you understand. I am preparing to go on my 10th cruise with Carnival, sailing out of Fort Lauderdale on Dec 5 for 8 wonderful filled days aboard Carnival s Ship the Miracle.
