near the beach Posted October 14, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yep he was on the Sensation in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdnosnhoj11 Posted October 14, 2013 #27 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm so happy to see that he's still around! We kept comparing Jen Baxter to him this past week. Both fantastic CDs, but he was more corny, which I love! She's definitely giving him a run for his money though! Fingers crossed one of the two of them will be on the cruise I'm planning for November 2014 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisajm Posted January 6, 2015 #29 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Apparantly Jimmy gets around he was CD for our Breeeze cruise 11/16.14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGoingDAD Posted January 6, 2015 #30 Share Posted January 6, 2015 A few years ago Wee Jimmy was our cruise director on the Freedom, and we'd love to sail with him again. Only thing is we don't remember his full name, so we can't check the CD schedule to see if he's still with Carnival. Can anyone tell us his last name? Yes, it's Ralph Valente, and today is his birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla_momuv3 Posted January 6, 2015 #31 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Wee Jimmy is our fave cruise director out of 6 cruises... Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted January 6, 2015 #32 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Had read that he was going to be on the Freedom until after it relocates to TX and then Jen Baxter would be returning. It seems like she gets mixed reviews on the boards, but I have only read 1 bad posting about Wee Jimmy. Looking forward to our cruise with him in a few weeks.

Spaniel Lover Posted February 26, 2015 #37 Share Posted February 26, 2015 He is currently on the Sunshine ,taking over for Jaime Dee ,she is getting ready to go on vacation. Yes, that's absolutely right. He's just about to take over (temporarily) as the Cruise Director on the Carnival Sunshine while Jaime Dee takes some time off.

styxfire Posted December 2, 2015 #38 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) He (Wee Jimmy) has been on so many ships in the last decade, he must be the fill-in CD, the poor schmuck that never gets the good vacation time off because always filling in for someone who IS getting the good time off... Truth be told, if I was a CD, I'd much prefer hopping from boat to boat, if for no other reason than a change of scenery. Surely it beats being assigned to the same "building" week after week after week after week. He'll be on the Breeze Christmas cruise, looking forward to meeting him.

styxfire Posted December 2, 2015 #39 Share Posted December 2, 2015 My apologies, after look at John Heald's blog, I realize all the CD's are bumped around from ship to ship. Interesting career. Wee Jimmy will be on Breeze a month, then a month break, then to Magic. I see that Jamie Dee has an upcoming stint as CD for almost 3 months. Surely they must get some time off during a run that long! Wonder how they handle the substitutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_beachgirl_ Posted December 2, 2015 #44 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Glad to hear Wee Jimmy is still around! He was our very first CD and our very favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIATPAC29 Posted December 3, 2015 #45 Share Posted December 3, 2015 ralph valente... And according to the schedule on john heald's blog, he is back on the sensation at the end of april and is scheduled there all year except for a time in nov/dec. He was the assistant cd (or whatever it's called) on my first (and last) cruise in 2004 and i still remember him! He was a blast :) ~katy you poor thing. You have not cruised in over 10 years ?

We sailed on the Conquest during Halloween and believe me, he was awesome. Probably the best CD that we've cruised with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
