MaskedTurtle Posted August 11, 2019 #1326 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Had Jimmy Rhodes a few times. He was our least favorite CD. Also had Dave Chapman. We much preferred him. I'm hoping to have a good CD when I cruise on the Navigator this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's "Rickey"....I will stick my fingers down my throat and vomit so I can use my insurance and cancel this cruise. Had Rickey on the Mariner a couple of months ago and also on the Brilliance two years ago.....very poor....will not board a ship with him and his dancers. Dennis Charles is on Harmony currently. If you aren't a fan of high-energy types, avoid the short cruises altogether. There is a reason why the likes of Ricky and Hugo are often assigned to the short cruises, since their energy is the best fit for that demographic.

Beautiful....never heard of him after 16 RCL cruises but I'm sure we will be pleasantly surprised. Two years ago, on the spur of the moment , my wife booked the small ship "Rhapsody" to Key West, Cozumel etc ...a fellow named Graham (can't remember his last name) was CD and he was hilarious and talented. Will you be on Harmony on the 25th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted August 11, 2019 #1330 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Anyone know how Dan Whitney is? We are supposed to have him on Anthem. In May we had Mitch and we didn’t think he was that exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted August 12, 2019 #1341 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I inquired with Marcel the current CD on Mariner about who will be our cruise director for our 9/16. He said Gemma Stubs, she is great, she is our Activity manager, will be giving the opportunity..... you will love her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sellwingri Posted August 13, 2019 #1346 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Mike Hunnerrup was on the July 28th Allure Cruise and he was fabulous. I tend to judge the Cruise Directors by the way they handle The Quest and he did a great job, switching up the questions quite a bIt, with tons of energy. If the Cruise Director doesn’t run the Quest, they’re not doing a good job, IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are often busy on the big ships. AM Moe hosted it on Harmony. That said, Quest and Love and Marriage are usually what determines whether or not someone is a good CD.

She was Activities Manager on Symphony for 4 months prior to joining Freedom, so my guess is that she is covering Patricio's vacation for 2 months and he will likely return soon. That would mean that he will be onboard for 4 months which is perfect timing for Cory to join FR in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
