jocko4279 Posted July 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Seems like the normal goofy, energetic, CD type from what I've seen on his FB page, and YouTube videos. With the radio DJ voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the radio DJ voice I think we sailed with him a year or two ago but if so he made no impression on us good or bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyman17 Posted July 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 3, 2016 We were on Pride with him a couple weeks ago, and we are by no means cruising experts, but we thought he was pretty good. We attended a couple name that song events at the atrium bar and he was very energetic, funny and had great crowd interaction. As someone posted earlier, he is a little goofy, but we liked him. Our cruise was his first on pride as CD. Have fun!!! His catch phrase is "May the Schwartz be with you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have remembered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

may_bartram Posted July 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2016 We sailed on the Pride recently, too and really enjoyed Schwartz. It was our first Carnival cruise (in the past have sailed Disney and Royal Caribbean) and this is the most interaction I remember from a cruise director. My parents celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary on the cruise and somehow my mother ended up talking to him on a port day. He sent a bottle of wine, chocolate covered strawberries and a personalized note to their stateroom. Not sure if this is typical for a cruise director but it made her entire cruise.

swodog94 Posted August 19, 2016 #12 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Does anyone if Schwartz will still be the CD for the 23 Oct sailing? Just curious, because a CD can make or break your cruise. We sailed PRIDE 3 years ago with Josh "Big Sexy" Waitzman, and he was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WendyCn Posted August 19, 2016 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2016 According to JH, the Pride CD from 8/28 - 10/23 is Leigh Xuereb, who I have never heard of before. Steve Knisley returns after the 10/23 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Knisley returns after the 10/23 cruise. I believe he just started with Carnival after having been a cruise director with Royal Caribbean. You can find him on You Tube.

We had him on our cruise last year. I really liked him. He wasn't as animated as some but was very funny in a more relaxed way.

Hribal Posted August 24, 2016 #17 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We had Schwartz and let me tell you, he was amazing! He was everywhere! He was personable. Funny and witty. What cracks me up about him since we seen him many places, when he is talking to you, he puts his hand on the person should but dear lord do not touch him in the same manner. ha ha its funny. Going on the Pride again in November so I can't wait to see the next guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusywillow Posted August 24, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 24, 2016 The first thing that's listed when you Goggle him is that he was fired from RC. I guess Carnival is giving him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amandaaa04 Posted August 28, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It is Shwartz (totally spelt that wrong!) however he got off he boat today and is on vacation so I don't know who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohlerbear Posted August 28, 2016 #22 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Just got off the Pride today. Schwartz was awesome. Reminded me of Matt Mitchem. High energy and all over the place. We had Steve Knisley last year. I didn't care for him. He seemed like he was forced to be there. Was only going through the motions and didn't seem engaged.

DaisyandMoe010 Posted September 1, 2016 #23 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I believe he just started with Carnival after having been a cruise director with Royal Caribbean. You can find him on You Tube. I am on the Pride in 31 days and I heard he will be the CD. I never had any experience with him so I went onto his FB page. It said that he was let go from RC due to a lapse in judgement?? Some of the folks that are in my fb group said he is really good and wild. I am looking forward to seeing what he is all about.

pratzert Posted September 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I know it's early, but any ideas who may be the CD and Maître d' on the Jan. 2nd, 2017 sailing ?? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was that way 6 years ago on the Elation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
