We had Elvis as an Activities director on Jewel before his first CD job.  Seems personable and active. I do see a lot of his social media posts. He loves doing Zoomba in the Promenade!

We just had Elvis on Oasis a few months back. He's very funny, great when it comes to the games shows like Quest and Love and Marriage- he can get a little raunchy and funny. He DOES love the Zumba classes, that's definitely his thing.

I just tried looking in the app to see if it says who some of the crew are i.e. Captain, Cruise Director etc. I can't find any of that info in the app.

Yeah, cruise directors are sometimes mentioned on the Cruise Planner.

I had Gemma as the activities manager on Harmony about a couple years ago. She was awesome! So funny and a lot of energy! I board Icon on the 20th and am excited.

Bit surprised Icon is being covered by a totally new CD.

Gemma is the Assistant Cruise Director under Mike.  Mike is coming back in late June and staying through the year.

I'm sure that anyone who is learning from Mike will be very competent. I don't think you could find a better CD for a role model.

 

I remember CDs for two reasons. Either I thought they were great (a very short list) or I thought they were really annoying. Most of them have just faded into oblivion in my memory. Mike is a standout for all good reasons.

I've had Mike for three special sailings - Odyssey, right after her naming, Wonder Maiden and Icon Maiden. He definitely is a standout.

I was telling him yesterday I need one more.., to fill that empty spot.

Aysy Sadrislamova posted on Instagram that she is on vacation. I don't know who is replacing her on Explorer or for how long.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post an update.  Bill Brunkhorst is taking over, if he hasn't already.

Welcome back DELTABLUE

Thanx guys!  It was quite the trip home from Norfolk yesterday and the trip to Baltimore was not very swift either.  This was the second time that the Port of Baltimore was closed behind me when I was cruising!😲 Happily home and all is well.  Now if I can just get the computer to stop rocking!

[chilis]

I don't know if it matters in terms of figuring out when there might be a rotation, but Marvin was on Radiance last week as well (sail date 3/28).
