Cruise Director, Danny Turner

[tango9]

Hello, all!  Has anyone ever sailed with cruise director, Danny Turner? He is listed as cruise director for my sailing on the Journey in December, 2021.  I don't seem to remember him on any other or my  Azamara cruises.   It will be odd to not have Eric with Johannes as captain.  Thanks

Yes, I've sailed with Danny for a few cruises. An English guy. I was very impressed with him. A good voice and very warm and friendly.

Thanks, Phil.   Good to know.   Azamara always picks great cruise directors, but I wondered if he was rather new.  Merry Christmas to you!

He joined Journey in early 2019 I think. He is very enthusiastic and I think you will like him. Happy Christmas to you too!

We were on Journey for B2B cruises around UK/Baltics in July/Aug 2019 and think they were a couple of Danny’s first cruises. I agree he did a great job and is very approachable

If Emily Love comes back as assistant cruise director with him, she is great too and so unassuming. They do a really good duet.

I agree, Danny is a really nice young chap. Very friendly. We were on the Journey with him on a cruise where he started as Assistant Director with Eric, but took over as Eric left before the end of the cruise. He did a great job.

I agree I love Emily’s style. Unassuming and probably technically the most talented of all the entertainment team. I like the fact she just lets us judge that!

We were with Danny when he had been brought onboard and given a brief induction by one of the assistants and had to go live there and then. 
It was clear he had talent but at that point had not quite read the Azamara style. It was good to see the change after a period of mentoring once Eric came onboard. 
I know many did not like him then, but I’d say try him now. It’s not the same as then.

He's very friendly and outgoing, very approachable!
