safcftm Posted September 19, 2017 #51 Share Posted September 19, 2017 From the new once I choose Jamie Fentiman, really nice guy and very funny the British way. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Yes I agree with this but I feel like they will keep him to as many British sailings as possible. He does humour the right way for me but I appreciate not all nationalities will agree Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaylemh Posted September 20, 2017 #52 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Leigh and Erky from Turkey were my favorites. I was very happy to hear Chris Hopkins got a promotion to CD. He filled in for Abe a couple of days on Anthem, and did a wonderful job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kickapoo Joie Juice Posted September 20, 2017 #54 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Anyone on Team Bing Bong? :D Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? YES!!! He was the CD for our first cruise (I think it was on the Monarch?) and the kids (who were about 8 and 9 then) walked around all week saying "bing bong!" I wish he was the CD on the Oasis-that would be my favorite ship with my favorite cruise director :). H and I still say "bing bong!" at random times while we're onboard, lol.

safcftm Posted September 20, 2017 #55 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Jamie is regular CD on Voyager doing Asia and Australia, so he certainly is not being consigned to the UK based ships. Ok ill rephrase. The yanks won't like his style!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryansgem Posted September 21, 2017 #57 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Leigh Xuareb (not sure if I spelled it right) was my favorite CD, but he's no longer with RCCL. I also loved Carlos Torres on the Empress from last month -- he's great too, but Leigh was definitely the best. Leigh and urkey on oasis 10/2012. The best!!!!

terpshockey77 Posted September 21, 2017 #58 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ricky Matthews. Saw him on 3 cruises and he had a tremendous amount of energy. Our twenty year-olds liked him too. We wonder what ship he is on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewSalt Posted September 21, 2017 #59 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've never been very bothered about who is cruise director but we recently had Clo on the Brilliance TA and now I know why people care. She was outstanding, friendly, funny and always out and about around the ship talking to the passengers. We even got up to do the 8am walk a mile every day because she made it such fun. Julie This is exactly how I felt. I never understood the threads about favorite CD's because none of them made an impression on my. I couldn't even tell you the name of one we had. But our last cruise with Clo showed me how good a CD can be. Loved her morning walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 21, 2017 #60 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Majesty of the Seas. He said that ship is his favourite so was happy to return there. Saw Ricky two weeks ago on Majesty, and he still is loaded with energy.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillme Posted September 21, 2017 #61 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Joff Eaton Independence of the Seas. The only RCCL Cruise Director I’ve liked! So far that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBCruiser Posted September 21, 2017 #62 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Actually None, DW and I go to enjoy doing a whole lot of nothing so the cruise director has no influence on us one way or another. :ship: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csaeroach Posted September 21, 2017 #63 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Dru Pavlov for me has been the best cruise director on any cruiselines we have ever sailed. He was always out and about the ship, easy to talk to and really seemed to love what he was doing. A close second for us is Clo O'Conner. Same reasons as Drew, and we always looked forward to her stories. She's a great lady with a wonderful sense of humour and again seems to really love what she's doing.

Gabruska Posted September 21, 2017 #64 Share Posted September 21, 2017 We loved Leigh he was amazing !!!! We will be on Freedom in November and Abe is suppose to be the CD. Never met him but only heard great things! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillme Posted September 22, 2017 #65 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Which others have you had?Joff was CD on our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th cruises. We haven't had him since 2012, and no other CD has been better than him, although Abe Hughes, who we had in July on Harmony comes close. We also liked Leigh in 2012 on Explorer, but he's been gone for a while now. We’ve only done two other RCCL ships, Freedom and Oasis both from Port Canaveral and can’t remember anything about the cruise directors! The recent Independence Cruise was from Southampton.

nenasmum Posted September 22, 2017 #66 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Joffrey, of course. Had him on our last 3 cruises, Indy, Ovation and Anthem. He's great Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetwhiz Posted September 22, 2017 #67 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Graham Seymour, a very funny guy. We loved Graham. I hope he ever "subs" on a cruise we are on. We like Dru Pavlov and Abe Hughes, of the younger CDs. Richard Spacey is back on a ship and we thoroughly enjoyed him on Equinox in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
