spindrift Posted September 18, 2014 #28 Share Posted September 18, 2014 We just returned from the Classic Continental, Amsterdam to Barcelona, and Ray Michaels was our CD. The BEST we have ever had. Ray was everywhere--at excursions dispatches, at functions (& our CC M&G), meals, etc. What a fabulous CD. He was "available," you might say. Always spoke, recognized you, said your name. Unbelievable. We have had lovely and attentive CD's, but no one like Ray Michaels. I was amazed at his presence. He made it feel "homey." What a pleasant amenity for Oceania.

nooosey Posted October 1, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am on Riviera at the moment, Andy Heath has been an excellent CD, we have enjoyed his trivia sessions greatly. His wife Tammy is the social hostess, they make a great team. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted October 1, 2014 #30 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Joseph Lustig is J.R. He was assistant CD under Dottie and took over for her when she got sick. Dottie and J.R. made a great team. He has been with O with years. A great singer, very friendly, lots of fun and the passengers really enjoyed him. J.R. is wonderful. He has been a CD off and on since we met him about 10 years ago. Does not want to be a CD full time, but will help out when needed. We love him and can't wait to travel with him again. :):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joan24 Posted October 1, 2014 #31 Share Posted October 1, 2014 We got our docs last week for our Nov. 29 cruise on Riviera. David Shermet is listed as CD. Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted October 1, 2014 #32 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Does not want to be a CD full time, but will help out when needed. I have a feeling that Mr. Lustig's opinions about being a cruise Director may have changed. He resigned his position with Oceania, about a month ago.

Travelcat2 Posted October 1, 2014 #33 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Jamie Logan, Lorraine Weimerskirch and Ray Solaire are long time Regent Cruise Directors (as was Paul Reynolds who is now working for Viking Ocean Cruises). Did not know that they were spending time on Oceania but it doesn't surprise me since people tend to move around a lot. Lorraine is our C.D. for our cruise that begins this Friday.

Gail Boertzel Posted November 4, 2014 #41 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Just returned from cruise on Nautica. Julie, a tall vivacious blonde lady from Australia was the cruise director. She was very visible, very approachable and seemed to be enjoying herself as she mingled with the passengers. She also sang a few times, once doing a late night jazz show in Horizons that I didn't make. I haven't experienced all the other cruise directors to make a comparison, but I enjoyed Julie.

Glenndale Posted November 4, 2014 #42 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Have to agree with Gail, Julie was great fun and very approachable. Just a FYI, but we were told that David Shermet had resigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
