DonnaK Posted July 3, 2015 Author #3101 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Sorry if this was asked and answered previously -- is CD Bobby Brown still at RCI? His wife, Becky, is Activities Manager. We have sailed with them many times since 2000, the last time was 2013 on Radiance. TYIA :) Yes, they just left Adventure last week and are on break now.

desiprince1212 Posted July 5, 2015 #3107 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Just curious and excuse my ineptness but why does it matter having a list of the cruise directors? For example, if I am going on the Rhapsody - how could I use this to my advantage? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
