Travelcat2 Posted June 3, 2017 #26 Share Posted June 3, 2017 In my opinion, Paul is wonderful. He was with Regent for a long time - took a break and is back. We are thrilled that he returned but can't seem to get on the same cruise that he is on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wishIweretravelling Posted June 3, 2017 #27 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Paul is a favorite of mine as well. I'm booked on the Navigator for the 89-night Arctic Splendors next June, and would love if her were CD then. He was the CD on the 2008 Discovery Collection and he, along with Capt. McNeil and Giuseppe as Hotel Director, helped to make that cruise great. The latter two are now gone from Regent, but I'm delighted that Paul is back.

tennisplayerlovestocruise Posted June 3, 2017 #28 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Margaret Lynn Scoggins is from South Carolina. She is lots of fun. Great singer. Cruised with her twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until Captain McNeil retired, my "dream team" was Captain McNeil, Franck Galzy and Paul Reynolds. I look back at that time as the good old days:D. Nowadays, I like all of the General Managers, only know one Captain - Captain Teo, still love Paul and think that John Barron is the "cat's whisker's" (boy - that is really an old saying!)

Never sailed with her; it will be nice to have a fellow southerner onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liptastic Posted June 3, 2017 #31 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We have also cruise twice with Margaret Lynn. She has a great voice and always does at least one show per cruise and it's not to be missed. Jean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanne Posted June 3, 2017 #32 Share Posted June 3, 2017 She's great at trivia too. Very hands on. Wonderful voice and performer. Took me a while to get used to her but would be very happy for her to be our CD again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul&Shark Posted June 3, 2017 #33 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We have also cruise twice with Margaret Lynn. She has a great voice and always does at least one show per cruise and it's not to be missed. Jean. Yes indeed. However she still is a novice, as she says... She entered the Voyager in January, when Roy Solaire left the schip for his holliday on Bali. IT took us quite a while to come over the gap between these two CD's. However Margret loves country music ( as do we ...) and belts out pretty well. Hee-Haw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happycruisingUK Posted June 3, 2017 #34 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We sailed with Margaret as CD from Hong Kong to Beijing for 16 days in March on the Voyager. I think she is one of the best we've had. She is a terrific entertainer and sang with the band a few times after the show in the bar and had everyone up dancing. She has a wonderful voice and a lovely friendly personality. I think you will love her Marc. The social hostess with her was called Nicola and they made a great team.

golfgirls Posted June 4, 2017 #35 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I find the Cruise Director likes/dislikes very interesting and there are clearly different strokes for different folks. We absolutely loved John Barron on the Explorer at Christmas last year, really liked Jamie on the Amazon for New Year's the previous year. Margaret and Lorraine are just fine. I honestly don't understand why Ray is so popular, we find him way over the top and a bit condescending. He is our least favourite on Regent for sure. We will be on the Voyager for 34 nights next January and are really hoping that Paul Reynolds will be the CD!

broadwaybaby123 Posted June 4, 2017 #36 Share Posted June 4, 2017 For anyone cruising Carnival, John Heald, the Senior Cruise Director has the list of Carnival's Cruise Directors out through Feb. of next year. He has a Facebook page and blog where he keeps this list. Sent from my LGL22C using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where she was assisting Ray ,the first and Margaret the second leg.She is amazing! We told her AND Regent that she would be an excellent CD. She indeed is versitile and talented.

eliana Posted June 5, 2017 #38 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm new to this thread. Does anyone know who will be the CD on the Explorer late July/early August this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCCruzQueen Posted December 16, 2017 #39 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So, looking at the information from this thread, together with other threads and blogs I think this is the present forecast of Cruise Directors: Navigator I believe Jamie (& Dana) Logan joined Navigator on 05 Jan for the world cruise. Presumably they will leave for vacation in May, but no information on who will take over Voyager Ray Solaire was on board until 12 January when he went on leave Margaret Scoggins is CD at present Andy (& Tammy) Heath take over in March Mariner I believe Paul Reynolds is CD at present; not sure when he joined the ship or when he goes on leave Explorer Andy (&Tammy) Heath are on board at present John Barron will take over in March Lorraine Weimerskirch must be on vacation at present Thanks to flossie for this list of Cruise Directors by Regent ships from February 2017. Does anyone have names of other CDs who have worked on Regent ships this year? Does anyone have insight of who will be CDs on particular ships in 2018? Thanks.

Pamela1 Posted December 16, 2017 #40 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Sorry, don't have any answers about Cruise Directors but just reminded me of what a good poster flossie was. Hope you get the answers you are looking for. Please come back flossie - we miss you! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrvlcruiser Posted December 16, 2017 #41 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Jamie and Dana will be on the Navigator WC starting January 8, 2018 through the end of the trip in late May. I also know John Barron was getting off the Explorer prior to Christmas '17 but don't know who was replacing him. The Voyager and Mariner are a mystery to me . . . Better something than nothing!

Travelcat2 Posted December 16, 2017 #43 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks to flossie for this list of Cruise Directors by Regent ships from February 2017. Does anyone have names of other CDs who have worked on Regent ships this year? Does anyone have insight of who will be CDs on particular ships in 2018? Thanks. As you noted, that list is quite old. Paul Reynolds left the Mariner in September and is now on the Navigator. Lorraine is currently on the Mariner. John Barron is suppose to leave Explorer before Christmas (may have left already and should return to Explorer in 4 months IF Regent decides to keep him on Explorer for 2018 - hope that they do). This doesn't help answer the TS's question but shows how things can change day to day or month to month. It is really difficult to project out more than a few months as things often change. I know that people in the U.K. get lists that we don't get in the U.S. but they typically are correct at the beginning and then change. So hard to keep track. For instance, someone that knows Franck Galzy posted on another thread that he was joining the Mariner in Miami. The G.M. on the Mariner, Andreas, said that Nikki was joining the Mariner in Miami. Who knows - maybe they will both join. While we like to share information with other posters, they need to understand that what we post is what we are told but is not always accurate. Officers sometimes need to shorten or extend their vacations for personal reasons. Sometimes they do their contract partly one ship and partly on another. I believe that all of the CD's that have worked on Regent ships this year have been mentioned (Ray, Paul, Lorraine, Dana, Andy, Margaret and, of course, John Barron!). We haven't sailed with Andy or Margaret but rumor has it that she will be on our March Voyager cruise (if things don't change between now and then).

xrvlcruiser Posted December 17, 2017 #44 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nickie did join the Mariner in Miami - she got off the Explorer there when Franck arrived. She will be on the Navigator for the later part of the WC. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrvlcruiser Posted December 17, 2017 #46 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Jamie and Dana will be CD/ACD on the '18WC on the Navigator starting on January 8, 2018. They have NOT left Regent! Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellaggio Cruisers Posted December 17, 2017 #47 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Peggy, Beth and Crystal - do you know who will be CD on the Navigator for August 2018? As you 87ers know, I am joining you for the Copenhagen portion. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrvlcruiser Posted December 18, 2017 #50 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Sheila, I know Jamie and Dana were on the similar cruise this past summer but don't know if they are doing the one in 2018. I'll ask when i see them and let you know. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
