auntierobin Posted August 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Dan is from the Jewel, we have sailed twice with him, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He is very good in our opinion, you are always aware of his presence, but not in an annoying way (like constantly on the PA system, like some others are), Dan has an energy that is more chillaxed than frantic, but don't mistake that for anything other than what it is - a CD that absolutely knows what he is doing. He's very personable and takes the time to talk to everyone. It's a shame they took all the really good people from the Jewel, Hugo, Ruth, Dan, just to name a few. We're on her for 28 days next September and we will mostly certainly miss them. Edited August 26, 2013 by auntierobin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe4all Posted August 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Just got off Breakaway. Dan was very pleasant, as was Simon, the assistant CD. Simon also got off yesterday for vacation - I don't know who is taking over for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auntierobin Posted August 26, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Was that Simon Murray? If so he is the Entertainment Director, he's in charge of all the shows, and music on the cruise. Dan is in charge of the passengers activities. This split responsibility design started with the Epic, with all the different shows and music venues, it would have been too much if you included the different passenger events (bingo, white hot party, things of that sort) in the job description of CD. Hence the position of Entertainment Director was created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcruiser48 Posted August 26, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Simon was visible at some events, Dan at others. Simon also "opened" for Michael Finney and I thought he was great. Very funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwpolicelli Posted August 26, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Dan was on my cruise aug. 11 th. He was great. He never over did it. The whole crew was awesome. Simon, Gustav, and Joey are stand outs. They were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon mentioned who was taking over for him but I can't recall her name, she is a current member of the Cruise Director Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted November 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hugo should be the HD on the Breakaway until the middle of January. Sinan is coming on board the Breakaway for 2 months as CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peg013 Posted November 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2013 He said he would be onboard the week of 11/17 for changeover and officially take over as CD on 11/24. I'm touring the BA on 11/24 so I hope to see him. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
