austinlw Posted November 26, 2013 #726 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Navigator OTS has 2 cruises just after drydock, but before Feb 16. A short 4 nighter on Feb 5 followed by a 7 day cruise on Feb 9 (which we are booked on - YAY!). Maybe the passengers can take turns being cruise director for 15 minutes each. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twospoiled Posted November 27, 2013 #727 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Any idea when we might be able to find out who will be the CD on Freedom after Richard leaves to go to Anthem? Oh how I would love for Graham Seymore to return but I know that is VERY unlikely. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Michigan Posted November 27, 2013 #728 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks. So Dennis Charles for January through March on Jewel. Also, have you been on a ship where Yopi has been the CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danem7683 Posted November 28, 2013 #735 Share Posted November 28, 2013 So who will be CD on Indy in October 14- joff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted November 28, 2013 Author #736 Share Posted November 28, 2013 So who will be CD on Indy in October 14- joff? Probably not Joff. He has indicated that he will be on the ship until Sept 2014. He's been doing regular rotations of 4 months on followed by a 2 month break, so his break should start at the end of Sept and continue until the end of Nov. The person filling in as CD during Joff's breaks varies, and isn't usually known until much closer to the handover date (like when Joff has 6 weeks remaining before his break) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So October is normally a guaranteed off period for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Posted December 1, 2013 #743 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Where is Dave Chapman?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted December 1, 2013 Author #744 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Where is Dave Chapman?? He was on Oasis September 14 until November 16. Now he is on his break. He was thought to be going to Navigator when the ship returns from drydock Feb. However, Simona has confirmed that she will be on Navigator but not until Feb 16. So it is still not very clear what's going on. Has Dave been reassigned? Or, will he fill in for the first two weeks on NV between its return from drydock and Simona's start date? As soon as I have clearer info, I will update the list. If you are on Navigator today, as your countdown clock indicates, maybe you can find out reliable info directly from the current CD/activities staff.

We're curious how you are able to find out who the CD's are, as there are times this would be helpful info when Phil is working. We generally don't find out until we get onboard.

Thank you for your time! Phil & Cyndi (Greyt Dog & the Mrs) Hi Phil and Cyndi, I don't have access to any official information regarding cruise directors. In fact, CD info that comes directly from RCI is notoriously inaccurate, so I purposely do not seek it out or use it to update this list. This list is compiled from information that other cruisers report to this thread, and is purely anecdotal. Some of those cruisers speak to CDs or their staff while onboard the ship, some cruisers are in touch with CD's either through personal connections or on social media, and one CD actually posts his schedule to this thread himself. Really, I only put all the info together like a puzzle to keep the list updated with the most current info possible. I generally only use info coming directly from the CD or his staff to update the list because that is the most accurate source. I have no interest in compiling a list for Princess, but perhaps someone on the Princess board can do that. I know that there are people like me on Celebrity and other boards who do the same as I do here. Edited December 2, 2013 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...John Blair said that he is signing off on the 5th. If Leigh isn't coming on until the 10th, then the 5 day sailing to Bermuda which begins on April 5th is unaccounted for. BTW - what did you think of Leigh? He is my favorite CD (even better than Richard!) Edited December 3, 2013 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
