Any idea on who will be on Enchantment? I wish it was Cory Rogers again, he is so much fun!

Would love to know who our CD is on Mariner 12/4/21 sailing.  Want to try to find out if there is any way to get pickleball going on the ship.

Eric the Activities Manager was promoted to the Cruise Director for Halloween when Marcelo left

Hard for me to tell for sure with the mic in front of his face but I don't think that is Mike S, from the RCMP.  Can someone help out with the correct last name?

 

outtoseacruise...thanx for posting the pic.

Yup that’s me 😊 

[DELTABLUE]

Hi Mike!  Thanx for stopping by to clarify things.  Could not be sure it was you from that pic.  Would love to share a ship with you again soon.  Congrats on the Wonder assignment.

Cru1s1ng2009...would love to have Cory with us on Enchantment.  I met him when he first came aboard Grandeur to shadow John Blair before he took over.  Though he was not working that cruise, we interacted a few times and I got a very good vibe from him.  Unfortunately for us, I think he's been kicked up to the bigger ships.  Still hoping we get someone good for the Baltimore runs.

If you’re Mike the CD from Odyssey, we were on last week and had a great time! And congrats if you’re moving to Wonder. It seemed that all the crew that we loved is moving too, which stinks because we’re doing the Odyssey TA in April.

Marc Walker announced today he's returning to RCI on Jan 15, but he didn't say which ship 🙂

Yes, I hope we get someone good.

We just got off Anthem (😭) this morning, where our CD was Mark from Southampton.  That's the only way we heard him referred to.  Saw him very briefly at the beginning and end of shows and on his TV channel.  He was okay.  I'll probably forget about him soon.

We are also just off Anthem, and have a similar impression of Mark.  He was just okay.  Very bland, and not very interactive at all.  His morning show was very simple.  We've had much funnier, more engaging, more dynamic, and more fun CD's in the past.   He did have some excellent activities staff members, though, especially Conrad.

As the original poster of this thread, I would like to request to lock/close it, and I haven't maintained the list in a few years.

 

A new thread can be started by whoever wishes to continue maintaining and updating the list.

[DELTABLUE]

Donna...per your request, I have started a new thread to keep track of the CDs.  Here is a link to it:

 

Not sure how to close this one but if everyone follows over, it will just drop off.  Thanx for keeping it going for so long!

This is what I came in here looking for today.  We board her in May, but she is on her way to Baltimore, arriving Thursday into early Friday for her first TEST cruise that leaves on Saturday for 6 days I believe. 

[DELTABLUE]

I'd sure love to be aboard to test her out!

I was supposed to be on her Dec 11th for a twelve day adventure. i hope those on board have a good time. 

[DELTABLUE]

I was supposed to do her 12 day on 11-19 and thought/hoped that she might make that one but it was not to be.  At the moment, she is just approaching the bridge tunnel and will be entering the bay.  Will keep my eye on her as she makes her way up to Baltimore.  I'll wave when she passes Deltaville.  Hope someone will let us know who the captain and CD are.  I have 3 more bookings on her before she heads to points north.

[BillOh]

@TheGrumpus reported in a couple of places that Bobby Broughton is the CD on Enchantment.

[DonnaMW]

Sophie left Independance.  Sorry don’t know the new one. He was at the Pennicle Diamond plus party last nite.  That’s when we found out after 4 b2b 

[DELTABLUE]

BillOh...say it ain't so!  I was with Bobby Broughton for his first RCI cruise.  We were on Grandeur and I thought he was just about the best breath of fresh CD air on the ship for ages.  Spent time visiting with him and his family late nights up at the Park Cafe. Found him to be totally charming.  Had so hoped to cruise with him again.  If he hits Enchantment now, he'll be ready to rotate off for vacation when I will be aboard at the start of April.   Do CDs ever do B2B contracts?  Those lucky enough to be on Enchantment's first Baltimore cruises, enjoy Bobby, as I know you will.

Cory Rogers is on Allure currently. He wore an elf outfit last night!
