travlngrl1996 Posted March 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Has anyone sailed with Goose Newman...we have him on the Valor in June....Thanks, Mike We sailed with Goose on the Valor in January 2011. He was funny and we saw him around quite often. He also took the time to mingle when . He was also very approachable. Hope this helps.

Rottweiler Puppy Posted March 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Looks like I got a dude named "Skippy" for my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbieMom Posted March 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm so bummed :( We were just a little too late for JH when we cruised on Splendor (he left for Magic) and now were just a little too late on Magic because he's going to Breeze :( OK, done pouting. So, I guess our CD will be Butch???? Anyone have any experience with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbieMom Posted March 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Looks like I got a dude named "Skippy" for my cruise. I'm thinking "Skippy" and "Butch" will be fun......I mean, they kind of have to be don'tcha think? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythehex Posted March 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 1, 2012 In all the cruises I've ever been on, I've never remembered the name of any cruise director we've had or cared who they were, any more than I've cared about the name of the Captain. As long as they do their job properly, that's all that matters. I don't think the CD makes or breaks a cruise. Does it really make such a difference to people? :confused: This is a serious question, I'm not trying to be sarcastic or snarky (I know you can't "hear" my tone of voice and I don't want anyone to misconstrue). I would love to know why it matters who's going to be on what ship? What's so special about these cruise directors that it matters so much?

I would love to know why it matters who's going to be on what ship? What's so special about these cruise directors that it matters so much? The CD really has control of the "Vibe" of the ship. If you participate in any ship activities, it's his team that run them. The CD is also the MC of the shows, and also does the announcements and morning show and deck parties and that sort of thing. If you don't get into ship activities that much, it probably doesn't make much difference. We were on Splendor with Goose and he was great, and on Freedom I don't remember the name of the CD (left no impression on me other than being a big fan of himself) but I do remember the assistant CD was James something and he was really fun;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always out and about with the guests. You'll have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted March 1, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 1, 2012 We had Wee Jimmy on our last cruise-- just seeing him around the ship in a kilt was a hoot. It does matter if you get into ship's activites. The CD organizes entertainment/activities onboard. So if ya got a dud or a one that thinks he is all that, then it could be a dull cruise. If the CD isn't one to get folks involved- that too could alter the "fun" onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted March 1, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 1, 2012 We play a bunch of trivia and other games during our cruise and it is more important that the social hosts be fun and lively than the CD with whom we are very rarely in contact with.

CruisinTeacher4 Posted March 19, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Anyone know when the rest of the schedule will be added? Seems to go until June now. We are sailing the Legend 6/17. Kirk is on 1/8-June but that seems like a long time. Wondering if someone else is relieving him about that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk is on 1/8-June but that seems like a long time. Wondering if someone else is relieving him about that time? Normally, they will have on the schedule if the person is leaving during the month and someone else is replacing them. One thing to keep in mind is to check back on the website from time to time as the schedule can be changed/updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
