Lbsahm Posted May 8 #1 Share Posted May 8 If you have recently cruised MSC, what ship were you on, who was the Cruise Director and just for fun, how would you rate them from 1 to 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted May 8 #2 Share Posted May 8 Seashore December 10, 2023. Endrigo Seaside August 2023. Bennie Nothing memorable, but I’m of the belief that the less you see and/or hear of the CD the better. EM 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notley-cruise Posted May 8 #3 Share Posted May 8 As a passenger I'd expect to have zero interaction with the Cruise director, Hotel manager, Bridge staff or other management roles. Never understood why some people are interested in who the leadership team on a ship are. Does it really make or break a cruise for you ? Does it change how the hotel, restaurant and bar services are run ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm not bothered about actually meeting them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also been on cruises with amazing cruise directors who somehow manage to be everywhere and just out there encouraging passengers to have a fabulous time. While the former may not break a cruise, the latter can definitely make one. Giuseppe on Celebrity was one of those amazing cruise directors that we've had the pleasure to cruise with.

Didn’t see her once around the ship, and her PA announcement came in the manner of Orders and Demands. On the other hand, last year on the Seaside, we had Benny. He was amazing. He was everywhere, always speaking with passengers and I can’t help smiling every time I hear, If there’s Magic in the Air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktwothousand Posted May 15 #9 Share Posted May 15 Love me a good CD. I’m the guy that asks the CD what party is which night, what are the best ones not to miss and i go to as many activities I can which are run by the CD and their team. By the end of a cruise, if the CD knows my name, it means it was a good cruise and good CD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone except engine room and bridge staff report to the Hotel Director. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
