Creator's Key Takeaways

I had the pleasure and honor of sitting with Carnival brand ambassador John Heald who is of course probably the most famous Cruise director after Julie from The Love Boat

this was the foundation for yeah I totally agree and I was the purest back in the day when this thing came out

I remember my first Carnival Cruise was on Carnival in 1982. and I don't think I was sober for a moment my head hurts thinking about that

the crew and the guests connect more on our ships I believe than any other Cruise Company in the world

YouTube Video Description

Peter Knego had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with Carnival Brand Ambassador John Heald during CARNIVAL ECSTASY's final cruise for a chat about all things Carnival. In this 30 minute interview shot in the CARNIVAL ECSTASY's Wind Song Dining Room, the conversation begins with the CARNIVAL ECSTASY and what made her such a special ship, then veered a bit to the new CARNIVAL CELEBRATION and the old SS CARNIVALE, which was the first Carnival ship Knego sailed in way back in 1982. In the second segment, Knego named every ship in the Carnival fleet (past and present) to which Heald replied with his "free association" thoughts, from one word answers to full-on, lavish stories. And, finally, Heald shared more memories of the ECSTASY, which is due to beach at an Aliaga, Turkey-based scrapyard on 7 November 2022. Mr. Heald's candor, combined with his quick wit and lifetime of experience, are the perfect ingredients for a fun and fascinating interview. #carnivalecstasy #carnival #carnivalcruiseline #carnivalcruise #carnivalcruises #ssmardigras #sscarnivale #ssfestivale #tropicale #holiday #jubilee #celebration #carnivalcelebration #carnivalships #johnheald #joefarcus
