Deltablue thank you for carrying this on. I love reading the updates etc and would have truly missed it. 🙏🏻

[jerseyshoreguy]

Thanks for keeping this going.

[Cru1s1ng2009]

Thanks for keeping this going Deltablue. I see they still dont care about us😜

[hollon]

Is Cory Rogers any good on the Allure?

[DELTABLUE]

I have not cruised with Cory as CD but had the opportunity to meet him when he came aboard Grandeur to shadow John Blair.  He had just come from Carnival and was there to learn the ropes.  I found him to be very personable and outgoing so I have good expectations for him.

Agree, very nice and approachable guy. 2 days into our 9 nt Indy cruise last month is when he accepted the Allure CD job, so his replacement took over from that point on.

If he was the CD in October on the Allure, I found him to be tolerable but not engaging.... Hope he will not be on the Enchantment. Yawn.

Thanks for keeping track of  the CD's.  Hope to sail with you again before too long..

Deltablue:  According to Radio's live Anthem thread, CD Mark's last name is Rous.

[DELTABLUE]

Thanx, Donna!

[Merion_Mom]

Every CD has fans and detractors.  Form your own opinion.  🙂

Why is a CD last name important?  Just wondering.

[DELTABLUE]

Just for general identification purposes.  With all the RCI ships and some old and new CDs, a last name just helps to make things clear.

We were on the Anthem's Thanksgiving cruise. CD introduced himself as ...."I am your cruise Director, It's Mark!". Exact words. Got me wondering what his last name or initial of last name was, not that it matters, but just curious.

If you are interested in this thread, then isn't the last name important?  Mark isn't exactly a unique name so you could have different Marks.  Isn't there a Mark Walker (or something like that)?

[BeWillie]

The current CD on Anthem is Mark Rous.

[Surfguyxxx]

Just off the Independence OTS; Sophie was probably the worst CD I've encountered.  Monotone voice, hardly any enthusiasm and just boring.

Update...12-2-21   Can anyone update on Freedom, please?
