Wantstosurprise Posted November 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 4, 2008 My mother is Holly. I believe her user name is cruzinwithhubby or something similar. She is on the Inspriation that sailed yesterday and will be back on Saturday into Tampa. I am very dissappointed. Just a few days ago I remembered that about a year ago I heard my mother say that there was a certain song she wanted to dance to with my father on her anniversary (this is the reason for thier cruise, their 25th wedding anniversary.) I am unable to get Carnival to help me out with this. I have called 1-888-Carnival. I have spoken to guest relations and to reservations. They keep telling me that in order to requests a song from the DJ I must actually be on the ship. :( I am heartbroken. I wanted this to be a surprise and it is falling apart. (if she gets on here and reads the surprise will be ruined anyway but oh well lol) My mother told me she posted here and you all were FULL of knowledge, so I knew if anyone had any ideas it would probably be you all. You are my last hope! Please help me find a way to play her song!!!!! Thanks in Advance! Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calicruise74 Posted November 4, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 4, 2008 HI Katie...Yes your mom Holly (aka cruizinwithhubby), fun gal here on the boards!:) Hope shes doing well on her cruise..I know she was so excited. DO you know the song? If not, might need to go through all of her posts to see if she might have mentioned it along the way. AS far as getting the DJ to request it, unless we can find out who the DJ is and he/she has a Myspace page that we can get in touch with them, that might be the only way. Our DJ on the Liberty had a Myspace page and we submitted requests ahead of time. Anyone know who the DJ is on the Inspiration and if they have a myspace page???

KenMo Posted November 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Try John Heald's blog. If you ask him, maybe he can get a hold of the DJ. Otherwise, I have no idea. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz4us Posted November 4, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I found this on the best piano player thread maybe you could contact the piano player through the myspace page and put up the request to give to the dj????

Wantstosurprise Posted November 4, 2008 Author #10 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Oh forgot to add the song: The song is Remember When by Alan Jackson. What I would like the DJ to do is just say "Holly and Jaime are Here to Celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. Your kids would like you to dance.......We love you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, nice of you to help the OP out. Its good to see fellow cruise critics jump in to help out a stranger. I'd much rather read a thread like this than one filled with rude comments, name calling and quotes from the guidelines. Thank you Mach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
