Host Kewlguy Posted September 9, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Has there been any word of him moving to the Epic? From what I understand he will still be on the Gem through March, 2010. After that, who knows? He goes on holiday from mid October until mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Kewlguy Posted September 9, 2009 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Thanks for the information.......He is a great HD and takes a great amount of effort to make each cruise "the best". He is certainly deserving of being Epic's Hotel Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare uneamie Posted September 10, 2009 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hmm...I know the "cruise director" is quite a significant influence on the atmosphere of a cruise, depending on how much you are out and about and use the entertainment options on the ship. That said, I've never taken notice to the "HD" on any cruise I've been on. What exactly are their duties and what should I know about them?

The Hotel Director is responsible for running the entire hotel operation on the ship. All department managers report to the Hotel Director. Over 90% of the ships crew fall under the direction of the Hotel Director. The only departments which aren't under the direction of the Hotel Director are the Bridge and Engineering. All three departments are run independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EileenN Posted September 10, 2009 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2009 The Hotel Director oversees the hotel operations including the restaurants, housekeeping, security, etc. I have sailed with several of the best from Klaus on the Dawn and Sky, Prem on the Gem, Matt on the Pearl and most often, Hugo on the Dawn. I have seen them walking from restaurant to restaurant every evening checking on the operations and satifaction of the pax. They are usually accompanied by the Food and Beverage Manager. During the day they can be seen anywhere on the ship and are always available for any problems that come up. I have been extremely impressed by the energy and time they give to the job. Kudos for what they do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EileenN Posted September 10, 2009 #11 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If you have never done so, take time to talk to one of them. They are interesting and have great stories to tell. Any question you have about the ship or it's operations, can be answered by someone who personally knows how it operates. Very personable. Happy to help.
