Pomperaugrr Posted June 30, 2014 #1613 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Leigh Xuereb was outstanding on our recent Explorer cruise! He was always visible and teaming up with Erky was an excellent match. I never used to think a cruise director made that much of a difference in the cruise experience. Well, I have changed my mind. Leigh was excellent!

DonnaK Posted July 1, 2014 Author #1616 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know who is on Serenade now? What about Brilliance - is Clo still there? Someone mentioned in a very cryptic post on the previous page that Clo handed over to a new-to-RCI CD on the last turnaround day. Is this true? (I have my doubts since Clo herself said that she'd be onboard until July 26, and the poster was not forthcoming with more info) Is this Rob's last week on Adventure? Or, is he doing a 4 month contract instead of a 2 month one? Can someone find out how long Allan will be on Allure, and who will he be handing over to now that Ken has moved to Quantum?
