Bloggers Cruise to Be Hosted
By Carnival

Fans of the popular blog of John Heald (www.johnhealdsblog.com) will have an opportunity to sail with the fun-loving senior cruise director when he hosts his fourth-annual Bloggers Cruise aboard the recently-refurbished Carnival Glory in February 2011.

The seven-day eastern Caribbean voyage will operate round-trip from Miami Feb. 27 – March 6, 2011, calling at Nassau, St. Thomas, San Juan, and Grand Turk.

The Bloggers Cruise provides readers of Heald’s blog – which has attracted more than 6.3 million visitors since its debut in 2007 – with an opportunity to interact with him and participate in a number of exclusive activities and events throughout the week-long voyage.

Many Activities Planned

Signature Bloggers Cruise activities such as welcoming and closing receptions, trivia contests, question-and-answer sessions and the popular “Tea Time with John” will be held, along with a few surprises that are being developed just for this voyage.

A bloggers-only shore excursion is also being planned and a variety of keepsakes and logo items will be provided to all participants. Heald will also be blogging daily throughout the cruise.

“The last three bloggers cruises have been brilliant and I intend to make this the best one yet," said Heald.

Heald’s blog has attracted a loyal following by providing readers with a unique, behind-the-scenes look at shipboard life through humorous anecdotes and observations on the people he comes in contact with on a daily basis. In the blog, Heald also answers readers’ questions and interviews his colleagues both at Carnival and the company’s sister brands.
