London Posted November 10, 2010 #26 Share Posted November 10, 2010 If the PRs at Carnival have decided to censor John's blog - as far as I know, for the first time? - then it's a step in the wrong direction. The secret of his blogging is that, as promised, he tells us everything, "warts and all", the good and the bad. I do not see how Carnival will gain anything by replacing John's honest opinions with a load of PR-speak. But I guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with. My take on it (and the full text) is at http://www.ilovecruises.co.uk if you'd like the British perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viaggi_per_mare Posted November 10, 2010 #27 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks, Mr Pete. I get the emails of the blog and I got it and when I tried to read more, "page not found" I thought I was doing something wrong and even accessed from another computer and the phone. Strange that it disappeared...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPete Posted November 10, 2010 Author #28 Share Posted November 10, 2010 It's back! http://johnhealdsblog.com/2010/11/10/here-i-am-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Schultz Posted November 10, 2010 #29 Share Posted November 10, 2010 It isn't the first time things have been edited after being posted, but is the first of an entire post being deleted (that I know of). Perhaps it was because e mentioned limited phone and Internet service and they don't want the ship being bombarded and overloaded with incoming emails and phone calls. Damn telemarketers! How are those British student protests going, anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgm61 Posted November 10, 2010 #31 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Iwas going to post and wham it's closed. why would they close our other board? Of course they are having a better time on board the ship as well as can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm61 Posted November 10, 2010 #32 Share Posted November 10, 2010 maybe NCL complained. the carnival boards where all aglow yesterday and they got made. It made quick time of all the pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Posted November 10, 2010 #33 Share Posted November 10, 2010 All quiet in London now. Small group (200-ish) of troublemakers hijacked a peaceful march by 50,000 students protesting university price hikes. Good to see John's blog is back - wonder whether it was a technical thing (I doubt it) or whether someone at Carnival had a nervous twitch?

mgm61 Posted November 10, 2010 #34 Share Posted November 10, 2010 kids at the university near us might start something soon. Prices are jumping way too much but then on the other hand they say there are more grants for the low income students. duh you charge more so the state pays better and you may break even but at the expense of the middle class. cruising is fun. had to keep it about cruising..

nrdsb4 Posted November 11, 2010 #35 Share Posted November 11, 2010 It's back! http://johnhealdsblog.com/2010/11/10/here-i-am-2/ Y'all were confusing me. That linked worked fine for me, and I clicked on it AFTER you were all saying it was "gone." Wonder what the deal was. I bet JH will need a vacation after this cruise. I can't even imagine.

DryCreek Posted November 11, 2010 #36 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Subliminal Message here? Could that be the reason of the disappearing blog entry? That's odd. Here's what he wrote. I guess I can post if it doesn't even exist. <<snip>> I have to say that the crew has been absolutely epicand I am so very proud of each and every one of them. <<snip end>> Your friend John Epic ehhh? NCL? Conspiracy theory?:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DryCreek Posted November 11, 2010 #37 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I think what got the post killed was when he called the crew "epic" :D maybe NCL complained. Man, you guys are fast! Y'all posted these while I was a huntin' and peckin' my reply as soon as I saw "epic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
