Was looking forward to Ricky Matthews but oh well! He was the CD on our Allure cruise that just ended. Funny guy. He'll lace up the skates too for the ice show.

Clarea Posted April 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just found out Allen Brooks will be the CD on my upcoming Oasis cruise. Tell me about him. Was looking forward to Ricky Matthews but oh well! We had Allen for Allure and one other cruise. Funny guy. His role on Allure seemed less than that of CD's on other ships, maybe due to the different show setup on Allure. In other words, I think the CD's role may be less of a factor on Oasis and Allure.

Langley Cruisers Posted April 23, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Competent, friendly, hard working. He's from Vancouver! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yj2cute Posted April 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I've had Allen as my CD twice and enjoyed him very much! He's one of my top CD's. I actually liked him better than Ricky Matthews and Richard Spacey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingitup Posted April 23, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks all! In a way I am kinda excited to have him, looked him and saw some video which was great. Sometimes change is good, hoping this is one of those times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joand452 Posted April 23, 2013 #16 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Very funny and good looking. He's very authentic when he plays one of the Village People on 70s night. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkvillain Posted April 23, 2013 #17 Share Posted April 23, 2013 He's great. Be thankful that you have him and not Amy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted April 23, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Just found out Allen Brooks will be the CD on my upcoming Oasis cruise. Tell me about him. Was looking forward to Ricky Matthews but oh well! Where did you find this out, and when is the cruise? If it was from an email or phone call with RCI, I would disregard it as inaccurate information. They are notorious for this. (I maintain the CD list in another thread, and I've lost count of how many times they were wrong) Ricky, who is currently onboard Oasis, has said that he will be there until June 1. Amy Fickert, who is the regular full-time CD of Oasis has stated that she will return from her break on June 1. The word from the CD's themselves, or from crew onboard the ship, is the best source of info. Allan Brooks is the regular fill-in CD on Allure, not Oasis. Allan and Ricky can be contacted on social media, and there are some people here on Cruise Critic who communicate with Amy via email. Maybe someone can contact one of them to verify what RCI told you. Or, maybe someone who is currently on Oasis can ask Ricky, or someone else on his staff, and report back to us.

DonnaK Posted April 23, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Someone just reported on the CD list thread that they chatted with Allan, and he is NOT going over to Oasis. RCI customer service is giving out incorrect information again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtm2233 Posted April 24, 2013 #22 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I just got off the Oasis with Ricky Mathews. He was good but I felt like he was almost a celebrity in his own eyes, not personable just putting on a show. With Allen Brooks I liked him better, he seemed like he was enjoying himself and the way he acted seemed more like he was on vacation with us.

Hi Donna, My DW just told me today that Allan Brooks posted on FB today, "10 degrees celcuis in Montreal: GOLF!!! ... A perfect day:)". So unless Allan is pulling our leg, he is home. Hopefully the OP isn't expecting him this week coming. If the info came from RC it wouldn't be the first time they gave out incorrect info.
