Lady Hudson Posted September 21, 2021 #2002 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Never had a problem with the Blairs and have sailed with them at least 10 times. I like that they do a Sunday “service” when at sea for those who are used to going to church on Sundays. I find John very friendly and I think his welcome aboard show is nice. Just my personal opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets the job done, but to me something is missing…. I have to second that John Blair is the worst CD Ever. Fake just as much with all the Botox on his forehead. My personal experience with him I was on Jewel of the seas California costal cruise. In my early 30s and a Diamond member. I was in line for the C&A tier party he was outside the lounge shaking every body’s hand when it was my turn he completely ignored me like I didn’t exist. It was completely rude and disrespectful. I am loyal to Royal but to be treated like that was so unprofessional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read about the entertainment staff getting COVID. All the crew are vaccinated so I hope that any of them that test positive for COVID are asymptomatic or no worse than a mild case.

I questioned on my survey why the Mamma Mia cast was out maskless and mingling with maskless guests on the Promenade and Windjammer.....yet the front two theater rows were still blocked off. Last week two show dancers were with her visiting sister in the MDR on Mariner. Some Mariner crew said that they were being allowed to visit Port Canaveral starting this past Monday.

I have no idea who the CDs have been on Harmony, have yet to sail her. Hopefully someone here will chime in on where Marc will go. Cory was the CD until yesterday, then Sophie took over (she didnt say if she was permanent or temp), all she said was Cory worked out an amazing opportunity to be the CD on Allure.
