Cruise Director- Kirk Benning (TRIUMPH)

[MoPartyHou]

Getting ready to take my annual ride on the Triumph! Saw that the CD is Kirk Benning.

 

I've always had Jen as the CD and she is AWESOME!

 

Anyone sailed with Kirk before? Just curious how he is as CD. Thx! :D

yeah kirk was cruise director on my pride sailing - i thought he was a great cd. he was rather active as a cd, and always out and about. he's funny and did his job well - not too over obtrusive on the PA and such and just all in all i thought he did a good job!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply!

We also cruised with Kirk on the Pride. We really enjoyed him as a CD. We were amazed with his abundant energy - I'd diagnose him with ADHD (and no medication):)!

 

 

Go to his Q & A and ask him to tell the story about the couple who went overboard! I laugh just thinking about it!

 

Have a great cruise!

Been with Kirk on the Pride too, I agree he and his staff did a great job!

We also enjoyed having Kirk as our CD on the Pride. Very approachable.

Totally agree, he is one of the nicest CD's out there and a real nice guy.

Kirk is one of my absolute favorites. He seemed to always be there when you wanted him around and quiet (think announcements) when you didn't. I felt like he has one of the best morning shows of all the cruise directors.

Sailed on the Triumph with Kirk in July. I agree with the other posters.

He was the CD on both my Pride cruises. Solid B+. Would be happy to see him on any sailing we take.

I sailed with Kirk on Carnival Pride. The woman who has his assistant and he made the Morning Show worth watching. He is a fine CD!
