Is Bob from Grandeur no longer with RCI?  Anyone know?

[Blizzard54]

It looks like a change is due on the Vision.

Anyone know the date and who the new CD will be?

Isn't that Bobby Broughton who is currently on Empress?

[DELTABLUE]

Lady Hudson is probably asking about Big Bob Leninger.  He was on Grandeur most recently.  Bobby Broughton has not been aboard for some time.

Join us over on the Roll Call if you like.

 

I hoped Abe would be on for our Symphony sailing in May, but no.

Anybody have any feedback about Ken Jones. Apparently he just took over on the Adventure.  I searched this forum, but there was really nothing other than he does a pretty bad morning show.

[Lady Hudson]

Yes, couldn’t remember his last name — Leninger.

Oh right, I had forgotten about him.  He was due to return to Grandeur on December 1 for a 4 month contract, but then the fill-in CD Mike S. reported that he was staying until February 14.

 

 

According to his FB page (Big Bob Cruise Director), he has only posted that he is spending Christmas at home in California.  I read through his posts and didn't see anything that indicated when he is coming back, or that he's moved on.  Someone asked him where he is headed next, and he replied "not sure yet".

Topi has resigned from RC, according to his FB page he is moving on to a new adventure.

Cheers!

just read that Dru Pavlov is no longer with Royal. What happened? I know I posted this question before, but any new info would be helpful. Yes I am a fan of Dru and was with him during our b2b in Nov.Cruised again on Dec. 10 and no Dru. C'mon Royal. Tell us what happened. He will be missed. Thank you

At this rate, they soon have no cruise directors left. I know two activities managers have just been promoted, but they seem to lose cruise directors quicker than they can replace them.

I completely agree. There have been so many that have left recently. I have no idea why. Maybe the rumour that they were trying to get Leigh back was actually true because they didn't have enough to go around. 

 

And with Spectrum soon in the fleet and no ship leaving this year, that's an extra 2 CD's needed so they really need to do something ASAP.

 I remember the days of Leigh and Erky.Let’s see if Royal can come up with a combo like that again. That was one cohesive hysterical absolutely unpredictable duo

Never had Erky but only heard great things. I also hope we see a similar duo again, although Leigh seemed to be great when paired with anybody.

[DaniDanielle]

Totally agree.  Leigh and Erky were the best we ever had. They were everywhere!

 Abe Hughes is excellent also.

Agree 100%.  Leigh and Erky were great.

 

[kmeeker]

Any thoughts on who will be on The Anthem from Mid-July thru September? 

 

On a different note, we LOVED  Hello Clo last summer on Adventure!!! She was great! 

[Clepire]

Any idea on the cruise director of Freedom for March/April?

[shopping is fun]

Does anyone know who will be CD on Jewel for Feb 1 Southern Caribbean sailing?
