denamo Posted August 3, 2014 #1777 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Any reports of who the CD will be on the Allure after August 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted August 3, 2014 Author #1778 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Any reports of who the CD will be on the Allure after August 17? Still do not know. Royal Caribbean says that Ken Rush will be back, but Ken says that he will not be back because he is scheduled to go to the shipyard to prepare for Quantum. So, it remains to be seen. It would be great if someone who is on Allure now or the next sailing could find out from Allan or someone on the activities staff. The best source of info comes directly from the ship, or from the CD's themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted August 3, 2014 Author #1779 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) We had an Australian cd last year on Indy mike someone does anyone know where he is ? Xx Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Mike Hunnerup was on Indy March 15 until May 17, and is on his break now. He does not have a regular ship, but rather fills on different ships when the regular CD there takes a break.

There are too many possibilities. I think that there is going to be a lot of reassignments soon, as ships are repositioning and new ships are coming out, and CDs are being shuffled around.

I guess it must be confusing for them also! I would bet on your info being correct because emails from RCI have been notoriously incorrect. They were actually pretty reliable for a while, but now it seems that they are back to their old tricks and are full of inaccuracies. I would also bet that Ken is not going to Allure on the 17th. He confirmed himself that he would not be returning because he was due at the shipyard to prep for Quantum's takeout. This is usually the time of year when we see a lot of movement amongst CDs and shake ups on the ship, so I think you're right in saying that the CDs are probably confused too.
