I will be going to the Symphony of the Seas on July 27th. Does anyone know who is going to be the cruise director? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm enchanted to meet you all! 😄 I wasn’t impressed with the last one, so maybe good for you there are changes. Can’t remember his name, but just not impressed by him at all (or any of the CD staff). Ill just leave it at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested in knowing which as we sail soon. Tom Hopkins appears to be busy producing theatre shows in the UK and I did get the feeling he was a bit detached as CD on Oasis over the holidays. I reckon he won't be back any time soon and Katy will be the CD for the New Jersey runs. Edited April 25, 2023 by GlasgowCruiser01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was SO in hopes he would have our TA in October but doesn't seem hopeful. He has moved on to the biggest and newest. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our most fun cruises was on Odyssey in October 2021 for a B2B. You always have the best activities and make everything extra special. Bonus that Nick Wier and crew and Ken Rush were also onboard and fun to talk to. Incredible shows. Have a great President's Cruise. Wonder if Abe will hop on since that's his territory now. We miss him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She told me a couple of months ago that she would NOT be doing Enchantment's transatlantic, nor would she be switching to another ship. She was going home, to tend to her farm, until next winter. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
