gem cruise director

[mrdrdoso]

just wondering who the cruise director on the gem is now. we are sailing in may and I can't remember the guy we had 2 years ago but he was fabulous x 10. I know sometimes when the switch from carribean to bahamas they also change directors. just curious

I think that the Cruise Director you are remembering is Sinan and he is not with the company anymore. Cruise Directors are on for 4 months and off for 2. the season or type of cruise does not matter.

No, it was Dan Dan.

I know who Sinan is. Dan Dan is a Filipino.

I have a feeling Traveler meant that the CD the OP remembered from a few years ago was Sinan.

 

Dan Dan is an amazing CD. I would rank up him with Sinan as one of my favorites.

We had Dan Dan as CD on the Gem in September. He is hilarious and so much fun!

Sinan was the best

I first met him when he was the bingo boy , then Assistant CD then CD

Sailed with Dan Dan as ACD then CD

He did not do anything for me in terms of his entertainment value. Everything from him seemed forced and i didn't find him funny

Pleasant yes, funny no

just my opinion

Just got off the Gem last Friday. Dan Dan was the CD but that was his last cruise before vacation. We'll find out who replaced him when the Gem gets back.

Just got off the Gem today and our CD was Gio. He said it was his first cruise on the Gem after coming over from the Spirit.

thanks for letting us know, how was he as CD or was your lack of saying the answer?

I loved Dan Dan & thought he was hilarious

Just off the Gem today. Gio was great! Seen him all over! Always friendly and energetic. CD staff was also great! We loved Mandy and Joey. Big Ben and Crazy Christine also very funny. Enjoy your cruise! We did!

Gio was good. At first I was a little disappointed, but as the trip progressed I liked him more and more. Maybe it just took me a little while to get used to his Costa Rican accent? Or maybe I held a grude after he welcomed us all aboard the Norwegian Spirit at the first night's show? :D Overall I would say he was better than average, but not the best.

Sinan was on the gem in June 2013 so I have to assume he was on it in April 2013 as well

 

The op is saying 2 years ago

No, the OP was asking who the current CD is for their upcoming trip. It was just mentioned that they loved whoever the CD was on their previous Gem cruise 2 yrs ago. Therefore, that post, noting the CD from a month ago who could have possible still been onboard, was just fine.

 

It's really not polite, nor is it necessary, to make derogatory comments like that.

 

Happy Cruising [emoji4] (because that's what the board is all about!)

Im sorry, but it actually seemed as though you misunderstood the point. Now let's be nice, and carry on.

We had Gio this past week on the Gem. He was very energetic friendly and always around the ship. Crazy Kristine was the assistant and she was great as well. Enjoy your cruise!
