kybluecruiser Posted June 12, 2013 #1127 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Once again great review....... Don't let any of the naysayers get you down. You are a wealth of info exp your website. It is a help to many. I have a question. Does the java blue have the traditional coffe shop desserts? They don't look the same. I didn't see in your pics my customary cheesecake or carrot cake.

Lol Thank you. Glad to see you are still here. Nah, the drinkers of Haterade will never prevail. Excellent question. I don't recall seeing some of the old, although they did still have chocolate covered strawberries. I'll have to ponder that and see if I can find any definitive pictures.

mississauga Posted June 12, 2013 #1133 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Originally posted by Sargent_Schultz Probably. Ken is on vacation from the end of June until the end of August. We are really trying to get him on Legend at least for the British Isles cruise. It will really suck if Carnival doesn't let him sail into his hometown. Unfortunately, the Maitre'd ( Andrea ) presently on the Legend started his present contract in April so it would not be up until the end of September at the earliest. Would it be fair to move him to another ship to accommodate another Maitre'd? There is only one dining room on the Legend. As it is, the present Assistant Maitre'd on the Legend had to take a downgrade on the Legend. I'm sure Ken would not want to be responsible for displacing one of his peers unfairly.

As it is, the present Assistant Maitre'd on the Legend had to take a downgrade on the Legend. I'm sure Ken would not want to be responsible for displacing one of his peers unfairly. I'm certain Carnival could accommodate both on the same ship. Why couldn't Carnival just let Ken be an entertainer and put on shows? With as many years (23?) as Ken has with Carnival, and as many new ships as he has launched (21?), and never, ever, getting to sail into his hometown on Carnival, it is an unpardonable sin as far as I am concerned. There is no reason for Andrea to feel threatened or to be displaced. I still hope to see both on the British Isles cruise. I also know of a full ship charter (neither Sunshine nor Legend) coming up that specifically requested Ken, and that apparently has also been stomped on. No, there is without a doubt politics in play, IMO. If Uncle Bob coming back has any input, I hope he corrects this injustice. But I digress... Sorry.

Looks like what SS posted confirms he will be back in September.:D Ken told us he is scheduled to return to Sunshine after vacation, but one never knows. Honestly I don't know why he stays. I also don't know why JH does, either. I do know one of the reasons we prefer Carnival is because of the employees. No gimmicks required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a conversation with Ken on the Breeze in January, he told us he tried a new venture a few years ago. It didn't work out and he was thankful to come home to Carnival.

It didn't work out and he was thankful to come home to Carnival. We know Ken reasonably well, and his expressed desires, as well as ours and other Diamond guests. We have sailed with him a number of times, including last month. But we are getting off topic - I will choose to move on - in this review and ????

mississauga Posted June 12, 2013 #1150 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I remember reading some Breeze reviews and Ken was on there. I was really looking forward to seeing him next year. Darn it:(. Ken usually brings out the new ship. The Breeze was Carnival's newest ship until Ken left to oversee the coming out of Carnival's newest venture, the Sunshine. Since Carnival doesn't have any new ships coming out in 2014' you never know where he'll be in 2014. He may stay on the Sunshine or could even return to the Breeze. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
