Cruise Director Patty??

[MidwestCruiserGuy]

Has anyone been on a cruise with Cruise Director Patty lately? I have sailed with her twice and she's great but I haven't seen her name lately.

[BillandLaura]

Is she no longer on Pride of Aloha?

Hey Laura, apparently there was a total change in upper staff last summer, so Patty is not on POA now. There is some guy on POA as cruise director that seems to be good. So I don't know where she went???? Marilyn

Cruise Director Patti is currently on the Norwegian Sun after a 2-month vacation. She will be there until June 19th, when she will go to the Norwegian Wind for a short stint. :-)

Just wondering if anyone knows if Patty was the assistant CD on the Majesty a few years back when Linda was the CD????? She certainly is a live wire if it's the same gal.

[pattizta]

yes, Patti was Linda Minnikin's ACD on the Majesty in 2002. Same one.

I came back from the Sun last Saturday - April 16th - and she is still there. I thought she was nice and funny. I read things about her not pronouncing the letter "r" correctly - and other things like that. But I never noticed anything odd at all!

If you are all talking about the Patti that was CD on the Star when she was in Hawaii (with Clint as assistant), I have to tell you - she drove me absolutely NUTS! She was also very rude several times. I had a much better experence on the Star in Mexico in November with Kieren (SP?) and Clint as his assistant. The whole atmosphere was so much more relaxed and less "hurry, run, win, etc"

 

Just MHO....

I had her on the Star in Hawaii, oh no, she'll be on the Sun in May when I am. :mad: She was rude after the first few days. Maybe she has changed, for me the CD does not make my cruise a good one........We do!:p

Wow,

 

If it is the Patti that worked the PoAl on the cruise from San Fran to Hawaii we thought she was great. Tireless and talented was my impression. I hope she will be working the new Jewel this summer when we sail in Europe.

I too sailed the Aloha last year and thought Patty was very good. Lots of fun.

I have also heard about the re-assignment of most of the Senior Staff from last year. James Deering has left NCL but I was wondering if some of the others are still around.

 

Patty is on the Sun & Wind.

How about Sterling Pablous? (very helpful)

and Captain Watka (sp?)

 

Also, who will be the CD, Captain and Hotel Manager of the new PO America?

 

I wish NCL would publish the list of current CD's and Captains on their ships so that we can keep track of them.

Funny how we all experience the same thing, but walk away with totally different impressions - thats what makes the world go around. We sailed with Patty in Hawaii and really enjoyed her - she was funny and informative. Last year Kieron was the CD in Alaska and we found him fairly obnoxious.

 

I also find it very interesting how important the CD is to some cruisers (it can make or break a trip), whereas others can walk off the ship and say, "Oh, there was a cruise director?!"

 

I guess thats why we have different cruise lines, different itineraries and different experiences - something for everyone.

A rude CD? How can that be? Seriously, I am curious, who has experienced a rude CD, and what did they do that was so rude?
