He's great! We had him as CD on Explorer a few years ago and loved him.

[Shoequeen]

Not that it really matters, but after reading through the list of CD's, my husband and I started talking about one of our favorites........but we're drawing a blank on his name.

 

He was on the Mariner for quite a while.....came from Nebraska. He left because he wanted to stay on land for awhile.

 

Thanks to anyone who can remember his name....otherwise I'll probably be up all night:eek:.

I believe his name is Abe Hughes.

 

YES.....that's it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Candleonwater]

He is one of our favorites as well. He headed to Vegas, but didn't stay there long. We saw him a year ago - working for the Port Shopping division of Royal

We had Dave last month on Majesty...he's a lower energy Richard Spacey. I mean you have to listen as he uses a lot of play on words. For instance, after a show he walked up the aisle to leave the theatre and said "May I have your attention please"....everyone quiets down as you give him your attention, then he said "Thank you". All he wanted was your attention. LOL

[jagsfan]

Dave Chapman sounds good to me. I am not crazy about the mile a minute loud guys.

[mommabean]

Hi everyone. Donna here onboard celebrity summit in Bermuda. I've been following the big news about Richard and Ken. I read Richards confirmation on twitter too.

 

I will update the list on Sunday.

 

Please keep posting any updates you hear. I certainly did pick a busy week to be away. Lol

 

I'm on Vision - this is from Topi:

 

Topi goes home Sept. 24 then joins Serenade on November 15 then back to Europe on Legend March 17. (This is a little before Europe starts again so you may want to get a better date as time gets closer. Or maybe he's doing the pre-Europe cruises)

 

Joining Vision on Sept 24 is Anthony Richards for revitalization and for Miami cruises and then Rico for Panama.

I know info from Royal is notoriously inaccurate, but just wanted to throw in that they told me that Dave Chapman will be CD on my Navigator cruise Feb 23, 2014. Not sure when he starts though.

[Iamthesea]

John Perry will be starting as CD on the Navigator on October 12th. Not sure how long he will be on her, but 3-4 months sounds about right and then a new CD would take over while John is on vacation. ;)

 

John just got off of the Grandeur this past weekend - a week early, as Ricky Matthews came back.

Thanks for the info. Sailing Grandeur 1/11/14, sounds like I'll likely have Jimmy Rhodes then.I doubt Ricky will be back that early January if he's leaving November 26th.
