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.

@sdsseattle currently on Serenade with John Blair.   He’s not my top choice of CD’s.  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.

I also hope everything is OK -- he is a wonderful CD and a great person.  

Allure recently had a Covid outbreak among crew. All the shows were shut down last week, not sure what this week’s  status is. His going home might have something to do with that. I also hope everything is well with him and the rest of the crew.

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.

If this happens, I wonder where Marc Walker will go.  Didn't he used to be CD for Harmony?  

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.

Just off Jewel at the weekend.

 

Michelle Oliveria was hardly present. I only saw her at the shows and on the TV. 

 

Not sure if it was down to restrictions that she wasnt about more.
