Cruise Directors

[margbem]

Were all the CD's retained by Seabourn when the little ships were sold to Windstar? We particularly liked Suzanne Gayle - does anyone know if she is still with Seabourn?

[Corony]

Suzanne was one of our favourites. Had a great month with her on our last cruise on the Spirit. She is now working on The World I believe.

Ditto.

[Martita B.]

President of The World is Mrs. Pam Conover, former President of Seabourn ~'Maybe Pam ask Suzanne to join her.

used to, Martita...."President of the World."

 

Or on the other hand, maybe no one would want it !!!

[margbem]

Thanks everyone. We know David E is still a CD. Anyone know who the others are?

[Chairsin]

Margbem,

Did you ever meet Heather Clancy on the small ships when she was an Asst. CD? She is now a CD on the big ships.

[secoma4]

Handre, Sophie and Jan are still there.

Yes - the lady with the fabulous voice? Glad she is still with Seabourn.

[margbem]

Handre, Sophie and Jan are still there.

 

 

Thanks Secoma4!

Yes, Heather with the voice of an angel.

 

That is good news about Jan as I had heard a rumor she was thinking of leaving. I have not cruised with her in a couple of years and so it would be fun to catch up with her on one of our upcoming cruises.

I feel so fortunate to still have Heather, Jan, Sophie (I think is an assistant cruise director) and Handre. I have never seen anyone work harder or longer and have to smile and placate to the extent required by all of us needy "cruisers." Love them, lots!

I thought the Seabourn CDs were always so personal. The CDs on Crystal and Cunard were more distant. More likely to see them on tv than in person. Nice part of being on smaller ships.

Sophie has been a CD for about 12 months now. Annabelle was ACD with her.

[lincslady]

I too was sorry to hear Suzanne had left Seabourn.

 

Sophie is another bubbly British girl, and although she has been a Cruise Director, and no doubt will be again, she was asked to be Handre's Assistant on the Odyssey long cruise, perhaps as there are so many sea days with trivia etc. to organise.

[margbem]

Thanks everyone, for your replies. Lincslady - I think Suzanne was also from Lincolnshire.

[markham]

Sophie Tehrani is assistant CD to Handre on board Odyssey. Annabelle joined us recently - a big deal since Handre and Sophie were stretched very thin until her arrival.

 

Sophie is just delightful. You name it and she does it - with incredible warmth and sincerity. And then there is her singing voice and musical acts! She moves back to Sojourn as CD next rotation and will alternate with CD John Howell.

 

Happy sailing!

Margbem,

I had an invite to dinner with her on the Odyssey a few months ago. She is a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice, but I found her interaction manner artificial and a bit pushy, and also did not care for her odd jokes at the events. However, who is CD will not make me decide what trip to take.

[lincslady]

Suzanne is indeed from Lincoln.

 

I imagine Handre and Sophie would be a very good combination working together; they have different qualities and abilities to bring to the work.
