Johnny was on the Dawn 2009 when I went to Bermuda, 2010 when I went to the Caribbean. He was everywhere and great fun too. He next went to either star or sky- I was told last cruise he was no longer with NCL. He was onboard with Fire and Ice (Bermuda cruise), then Jose and Patti,(Fire and Ice) also Dave Heenan and Bernie Martini. I would have to say my Dawn cruises have had the best entertainment. Jean Ann Ryan dancers were also on board. Our last CD we called MIA as we never saw him, only occasionally in the theatre introducing and closing shows. Overweight too, so perhaps he couldn't run up and down the stairs to all the activities as quickly as Johnny.

Okay in this order Patti and Jose, Fire and Ice, Emily and Arvin were okay, but because they were in a poor venue on the Spirit didn't have the same impact. I loved Rosie's, from Fire and Ice's Tina Turner show. Are they still on the Jewel? I'm on in September for the Panama Canal cruise- would love it if they were still on. I oved the Jean Ann Ryan dancers also. Not so happy with the new company they now use.Johnny Ibrahim as a CD was great also. I loved the way he joined in all the activities. Sinan does nothing for me-too hard to understand.

Great stuff-cant wait to read it all. Excellent!!!!

I did that back in 2007, but in 2009, 2010 Miami Airport wouldn't allow me to do that. I was only able to check my luggage in so many hours before hand.

This time we are staying the night in New Orleans so we can leave our luggage at the hotel, then wander around, take an afternoon tour etc.

Alternatively, in New York, I went back to the hotel I had stayed in prior to the cruise and asked if they would store my luggage for the day. I returned about 5pm to collect my luggage and organise a shuttle to the airport. I think the only cost for this service was a tip.

I don't qualify for the book your luggage straight through program as I have an international flight.

Good work!:)
