Not sure if you wanted feedback about the CDs on this thread, but we really noticed a big difference between her skills and that of Gordon Whatman, Paul Lancaster etc. Actually, James, the future cruise advisor, was more friendly and sociable - a wonderful chap.

Gordon Whatman is my favorite cd so far, he was on my 12day explorer cruise, had a wonderful side kick as well!

Who will be the CD for us on NOV 3 TA out of BCN to NO?

And what can you tell me about them?

Thank you

Pam

 

Jimmy Rhodes will be the CD on the Navigator TA November 3rd.

I just talked to him on facebook.

I sailed on Explorer a few yrs ago with him as the CD and he was

awesome. DONT miss the Quest- it was THE best Quest I have ever been to! REALLY! He is a great dancer too on 70's night in the Promenade.

Have a great time! :)

Gordon has his own website. See the link below.

 

 

http://gordonwhatman.com/schedule

 

He seems like a rarity. I think most of them wouldn't have enough information to make a whole website, unless they have a regular blog going on or off contract entertainment.

 

But most do have a FB presence.

 

LOL Click his reviews link. Who does he look like?

thanks

Oops...I must have the date wrong. Rich is covering for Luke over on Grandeur beginning Sept 14, so he must have already left Splendour with the last sailing...does anyone have that date? When is the transatlantic? Who is the CD between now and the TA?

Anyone have any information about Liberty after Leo leaves on Nov. 10? Looks like he's leaving once the ship gets back to Port Everglades. I'm on the Nov 15 sailing...the new menus start on that sailing and a new CD too. Guess I should check the captains threads to see if he/she will be just signing on as well.
