**New** Current list of Cruise Directors (CD)

[DonnaK]

You are welcome! :D

 

Actually, I went back to posts 400-420 and I see that I made a mistake when I updated the list.

 

It should read: Carlos Torres September 25 until January 30, then Simona Ferraiuolo

 

 

I'm surprised no one caught the error, until now!

 

Thanks again

Has Abe left port Shopping guide and now back to CD??

He's doing a fill-in at the moment. It will be interesting to see if it is a one-time thing, something he'll do periodically on an as-needed basis, or if he is permanently moving back into the CD rotation.

Where will Dan Whitney move on to after the Adventure OTS?

He is not in any regular rotation, and he doesn't have a regular ship, so it's impossible to predict. There is always the chance that he will return to Adventure in March to fill-in during Mercedes' vacation, but there are several CDs going on break around the same time, so he could be assigned to fill-in for any of them.

Thank you for your hard work keeping up with the CD's!

 

Just a note: Casey's last name is "Pelter" without the "i"... just in case anyone does a Youtube search.

 

We had him on Freedom and he was great!:)

[EZ Cruisin]

We had Graham Seymour on our B2B2B on the Rhapsody in April-June 2015. We LOVED him. He announced he was going to Explorer of the Seas - what is he doing after January 2016? Another ship or moving on....................???

He will probably stay with Explorer as the regular CD for up to 3 years. He will do contracts of 4 to 6 months, followed by a break of approx. 2 months. He personally visits this thread and posts his schedule.

My wife and I were on the Independence of the Seas back in August and Leigh Xerub was fantastic. We'd love to have him as the cruise director on our November sailing on Freedom of the Seas.

[KazAllen]

Anyone know where Mike Hunnerup went when he finished on Rhapsody in Nov? He was our CD on the Radiance for the Sept 2014 cruise back to Sydney from Honolulu.

I love Leigh!!!

 

It's unlikely that he'll be reassigned to Freedom, as that ship has a regular CD (Casey Pelter)

 

Leigh is assigned as the regular CD of Indy. There is talk of him moving to Anthem when Indy is in Europe for the summer, but that is just rumor for now. Even so, Anthem would probably be a temporary fill-in assignment until Indy returns to USA. When Dru Pavlov returns from his break, he is likely going to be assigned as the regular CD of Anthem, so it's unlikely that Leigh would move to Anthem permanently - he would just be covering Dru's break while Joff is covering on Indy in Europe.

 

This is all rumor and speculation, of course. It'll be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next few months.

Mike is on break right now. He will probably return at the end of Jan/beginning of Feb. He doesn't have a regular assignment on a particular ship. There are several ships which have CDs expected to go on break around the time Mike is scheduled to return, so it could be any of those.

Steve Davis will be Cruise Director on Radiance of he Seas from 31 January.
