blueyez4evr Posted December 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I am about to book a cruise on either the Sunshine, Breeze, or Glory (All three ships have been highly recommended by people we know and I've seen great reviews on here as well) I have also heard that a cruise director can make or break your cruise! Please help in my decision! Which one do you like or have you experienced with?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arush5268d Posted December 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2013 None of the CD's listed would encourange to book their ship over any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbean Posted December 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'd choose the best itinerary myself but if all things were the same - I'm a big fan of Butch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeymousemikey Posted December 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 17, 2013 We sailed the Breeze in October and it was the second time we had Butch. We LOVE him! The Breeze was the best ship we've been on so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzloolue Posted December 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I rarely even see the cruise director. It would make no difference to me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyez4evr Posted December 17, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted December 17, 2013 We like all three ships, was hoping to get more insight on the CDs as well. Just don't want to be disappointed. Ive heard too many people say their CD were boring. Just want some info on these three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted December 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Why would you pick a cruise based on CD. They play such a minor part of a cruise. IMHO Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfweather Posted December 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Keep in mind the CD list is subject to change. I have been on 2 different Carnival cruises with different CDs than listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard13 Posted December 17, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I would definitely book another cruise with Matt. I Usually ignored the CD announcements, but whenever Matt was speaking I stopped, dropped and rolled on the ground laughing!!!! Do yourself a favor and go Glory!!!!

Dare2Believe Posted December 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Jamie was the assistant cruise director on the Pride when we sailed...we loved her! She's VERY omnipresent (at least she was as ACD) and always had a smile on her face. I've never sailed with either of the other two, so can't give an opinion on them. That being said, I wouldn't book it based on a CD BUT...if that's what you do, go for it. I hope this helps :) Edited December 17, 2013 by Dare2Believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted December 17, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 17, 2013 While I feel that all three of these CD's are excellent, the absolute best CD in the entire Carnival fleet is BUTCH! He's everywhere, always smiling, always knows EVERYONES name, and his entire staff is the same way, thanks to his leadership. I have selected ships, and sailings, based on the CD, and when I do that, it's because I can sail, once again, with Butch. "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodogkisses Posted December 18, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 18, 2013 None of the CD's listed would encourange to book their ship over any other. I always thought this way, too, until I cruised on the Glory with Matt. OMG!!!! He's is hysterical, as is the Assistant CD. They both are easy on the eyes, too. Lizard13 is right--trust us, go on the Glory with Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestocruise19 Posted December 18, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I had Jaime as an assistant cruise director on the Pride. She was awesome then, so I'm sure she is awesome as a full fledged cruise director, too! She seems to be really involved and is fun and funny!

GRANNYOFSIX Posted December 18, 2013 #19 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We have not cruised on the Breeze or Sunshine so I can't say anything about their CD's...........however, until last October the CD played no part in my cruise booking decision. However, we cruised on the Glory with Matt as our CD and he truly was outstanding, very visible and extremely funny!!! His assistant was fabulous too............ If CD's are important to you, you can't go wrong with Matt:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA Beachlovers Posted December 18, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Breeze is incredible, and Butch just happens to be the cruise director, but I would never book for he cruise director, the boat yes, itinerary yes, cruise director does not make or break your cruise.

PresDuLac Posted December 18, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I rarely even see the cruise director. It would make no difference to me at all. Totally agree. I can't imagine booking a cruise for a CD but to each their own. :) I book for ease of getting to port and then... Ship and that's it I do NOT care about the itinerary or the CD but, that said, based on what I've read, I'm looking forward to having Jaime as our CD on Sunshine in Jan.

NicNac4498 Posted December 18, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Jaime for sure!!! She was so good when we had her on the Dream. Best cruise director I have had in 20 cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubMunkeyBles Posted December 18, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I liked Butch a lot when I was on the Dream... but Matt is my favorite (sailed with him as an assistant director and then twice on the Ecstasy this past Spring. I'm sad he'll be off the Glory before I get on. I really enjoyed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecrazy82 Posted December 18, 2013 #25 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We have sailed with Matt and Butch and while Matt is a lovely specimen to look at and quite fun, Butch was so much more fun!!! Great energy and just a ball of fun, very very personable too! Plus the Breeze was awesome!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
