Steve, the Assistant Editor said “ Hi Harry,


Many thanks for your email and pictures.
The way we work is that I juggle lots of different stories and then offer the best ones to the Look East producers.
I do think you have a lovely story to tell but I can't promise to tell it at the moment!
Can you leave it with me for a few days and I will get back to you either way.


Many thanks


Steve”


So finger crossed now !

And if you get it on, maybe THEN they can list you as an accredited news person.

Great news Harry! It will be so exciting to visit all those ships too. Have fun on your visit, and post lots of pix. Can't wait to see them.

Hi Harry!!!

Hey Debbie, thank you !

It's not the same around here with Mary, Reggie and Char away, it's very quiet. I cannot wait until they are back and look forward to hearing about the trips. Mary has promised me lots of photos.

I have had a very busy morning. Called a lot of people, including a few of my important contacts, but they where sadly away and Called Royal Caribbean too, to see if they could help give me the prices I need for the second task Stephen Payne has set. Royal Caribbean themself weren't much help at all.

So I called a local travel agent in my home town, Colchester. The lady I spoke to was very helpful. We had a few problems finding all the prices but the ones we didn't get we just took a rough guess.

Then I asked her if she had a few brochures I needed. She said she will put some aside for me. So when my mum and dad got home I told them I had finally got the prices. My dad then droped me and my mum off in town to go and pick the brochures up. I also show her some of my work and the tasks Stephen has set. She was very impressed.

We have just had a bit of lunch now and are getting ready to leave for Stephen's talk this evening. I'm very excited.

We're ALL proud of you, Harry!

Hello all !


Just got back around an hour or so ago from Stephen's talk/ lecture about the Queen Elizabeth 2.


We arrived early about 7pm or so, then we where able to have a chat with Stephen before his talk at 7:30pm. The hotel this was at, was fantastic. When we enter there was no sign of Stephen, so we sat down and waited in the reception area. Then with in a matter of minutes Stephen appear the other side of the room and came over to me and my parents straight away. We had a fabulous talk with him and he is always a good laugh too. Got him to sign his book I was sent by RINA. (The S.S Rotterdam one) (Cruise Ship Interest)http://www.cruiselinefans.com/introduce-yourself/38688-cruise-ship-interest-99.html


Also showed him the work I have done that he set for this work experience I am doing at the moment. Was very impressed with the figures I came up with for the analysis of the Oasis of the Seas. Said they look close to what he has got himself. I'm e-mailing him the table I've done this in later so he can have a better look. So that is all good.


As for the second task, working with the part of a G.A. I found that very difficult when I attempted it last night, but now I have asked Stephen a few more question I think I can do a little better now.


Stephen was is also going to send me a table or two so I can do an analysis for the NCL EPIC and Carnival Dream, as I have completed the Oasis one so fast.


Showed him the photos from our visit on the 8th of April, he enjoyed looking at them ! I was introduced to the man who arrange the talk, the President of IMAREST. Well in fact he introduced himself to me, as Stephen had told a lot of the people there about me ! I will soon be know worldwide, well I suppose I already am.


So all round a absolutely brilliant time ! Wonderful !


Bad news we forgot to take the camera but.... I did manage to get a photo with my phone. But it's not a very good photo. Best I could do. Sorry.
