Need Help With My Memory

[hillbillycruisers]

Who remembers the name of the Cruise Director years ago on the Ecstacy....he was funny, energetic, juggled, and played the fiddle? It's been a while, and I'm guessing he is no longer a CD...but that's just a guess.

Ben Lambert maybe?

It sounds like you're talking about Steve Cassel.

Yessssss!! Thank you. We liked him...wonder if he is still " on the boats ".

Many years ago, on a Fantasy class ship they had a country show where a fiddler played Devil Came Down-to Georgia.  The fiddler was the CD.  They expanded the show to Extreme Country when Dream debuted in 2009.  EM

I think he's long retired. Sailed with him quite a few times in the late 80's, early 90's.

He was so good. And yes, many years ago.

Did someone have a question?

The name Steve Cassel came to mind right away but I don’t really remember him, juggling or a fiddle. I was shocked when I saw Jamman54 mention the name too so I did get it right. I am pretty sure he was the cruise director on my first three or four cruises and I was bummed because I wanted to see what the others were like too. This would have been the Jubilee, Imagination twice and the Elation.

And to piggyback off your question, who was the karaoke director at the same time as Steve Cassel on Ecstasy? He seriously made our cruise. He was soooo funny. I'd love to see him on another ship. He was young-ish at the time, so it'd be great if he was still around.

Was he oriental? We had one on either Ecstasy or the Triumph that was hilarious!!!

Anyone remember the name of the woman cruise director who left to run an all inclusive resort? I think she was on the Liberty in 2019?

Um, yes, he was Asian (we don't really use oriental anymore. sorry, not to be the boards police). I believe he was Phillipino. Was he always calling people in the audience Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston? And this was in the days when Beyonce's "Single Ladies" was super popular, and he did the dance across the stage. He was so so funny!

Looks like she is Entertainment Casting Director for Holland cruises now.  Guess the resort thing did not last.
