can'twaittogoagain Posted February 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Anyone know if Simon is still around???? If so, what ship is he sailing these days ?? We were on the Pearl in October and according to "The Chocolate Cowboy" (awesome server on pool deck) Simon has taken a position overseeing other CD's and it is land-based. I liked Simon sooo much that we taped the documentary filmed on the Pearl, "Big Money on High Seas" or something like that....and I still have it because we can watch it in the dead of winter or whatever, and it's almost like being there. :) He was wonderful, wasn't he? If this was wrong information, I haven't heard otherwise..... For those of you who met the "Chocolate Cowboy" he will be on the Epic...... P. S. I wish I was on a ship right now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC4158 Posted February 10, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I believe Simon will be the CD taking out Epic..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACRUISINNANA Posted February 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I really hope this is true because we are booked on the epic 1/11. I was on the Jewel when he was the cruise director and he rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiggerfan616 Posted February 10, 2010 #6 Share Posted February 10, 2010 No it is correct Simon is currently working in the office but will be taking over as CD on the EPIC. We had him last year on the Pearl and really enjoyed him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus4NU Posted February 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I must be the minority here. I did not like Simon at all. I found his voice on the PA system very annoying and just generally didn't care for the guy. I really enjoyed Shona (Pearl November) and Julie (Pearl January) and Matt Baker (Sky August) but Simon just annoyed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 cruisers Posted February 11, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I must be the minority here. I did not like Simon at all. I found his voice on the PA system very annoying and just generally didn't care for the guy. I really enjoyed Shona (Pearl November) and Julie (Pearl January) and Matt Baker (Sky August) but Simon just annoyed me. Yup...I truly think you are in the minority on this one! We too connected with Simon! Had Julie for a 14 day and have no opinion actually. We've sailed with Simon twice and we adore him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooners Posted February 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I had Simon on 3 staight cruises. While I like him, I was kind of ready for someone new on our last cruise. I guess after awhile, I wanted to hear something different then "Have a smashing day". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthdaddy Posted February 11, 2010 #11 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Never sailed with Simon, but enjoyed Shona when she was CD on the DAWN. She is pleasant and enthusiastic without being cloying or fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRC1MLC2 Posted February 11, 2010 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2010 We too loved Simon. We often think of and re-enact his: "Hello this is Simon your cruise director" and "Have a smashing day". He approached us on the 4th day of our Pearl cruise last year and remembered our names and where we were from. I thought a lot of this. He made our days brighter with his chipper attitude and PA announcements (love that accent). We will miss him this March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
