Current Cruise Directors (CD) List - UPDATED

Iamthesea · January 27, 2013

Thank you! He's not a regular CD, so I wonder if he is an activities manager who is just filling in between Jimmy and Simona. Or, is he now the CD and Simona didn't come aboard as expected after your sailing.

Can cruisers returning or boarding this weekend provide any updates for us?

Especially, who is the CD on Navigator? Simona? John Perry? someone else?

John is/was an AD. He was called to fill in on the Navigator for only two weeks. As far as I know, he will not be returning to the Navigator for this next sailing. Hopefully, RCCL will place him in another CD position because he is great...not to mention a cutie with a good voice! :)

You can get the entertainment info by emailing web_reservations@rccl.com. Note the underscore after web. Send this 2 or 3 weeks before the cruise so they have more reliable info.

I can confirm Simona is on Navigator as of last week. Although, she was sick for the entire week so she wasn't seen at all until the very end of the cruise.

Ahhhh....this explains why she didn't start earlier in January, as originally planned, and why the activities director had to step up and fill in for two weeks.

Thanks for the info!!!
