Just trying to see who will be the CD on Oasis for our sailing December 5th. Thank you in advance! Don't know for sure, but Drew seems to be the regular CD on Oasis which means his contracts are usually 4 months on the ship followed by 2 months break. So, if he is returning from his break on July 25, he will likely be on until late November. There does not seem to be a regular CD to alternate with Drew, so we don't know who will be covering December and January (it probably won't be Ricky because he should be on break after covering on Indy) This info might not be available until Sept or Oct.

luvscruising2007 Posted July 18, 2015 #3139 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Hi, Donna! Let me echo many others and say you are truly an asset to this board. Keeping this list is time consuming and you deserve a lot of positive reinforcement. I think we all appreciate what you do. May I ask a question. I see the CD for Serenade is aboard for the European sailings. When do you think there will be a change and when do you think it might be announced? We board Serenade in April and are very curious as to who will be CD. Though it is not a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We board Serenade in April and are very curious as to who will be CD. Though it is not a deal breaker. Thanks for the kind words! The CD will likely change on Serenade either right before, or right after the transatlantic, which is Aug 30. No word yet on who the next CD will be. As soon as the updated info is available, I will post it on the list. We may not know who the CD will be for April 2016 until a few weeks/months prior to the sailing.

ken3028 Posted July 18, 2015 #3144 Share Posted July 18, 2015 What is Mitch Marucci like? Mitch is very personable, high energy and lots of fun. DW and I had the pleasure of spending time with him when he was CD on Majesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
