Who is Uncle Bob?

[GORDONCHICK]

I've seen many references to Uncle Bob, but I haven't found out who "he" is. I'm not new to cruising, but October will be my first with Carnival, so I know things will be a little different.

This is from the Presidential Wine Club page:

 

Meet Bob Dickinson

Just to be accurate, Uncle Bob is the Pres & CEO of Carnival Crusie Lines.

Thanks for the responses. Personally, I have two Uncle Bob's of my own, but just had to know who this other one was!

He's the guy you call immediately if your lobster's rubbery or if the singer in the Show Lounge is off-key.

I'm sure many newbies to the boards see "Uncle Bob" or "UB" and wonder what some of the posters are talking about. I personally think it's kinda silly, but........:rolleyes:
