jep617 Posted February 5, 2009 #201 Share Posted February 5, 2009 My vote goes to Richard Spacey and James Andrews... My least favorite by far - Dennis Sciortino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLindaC Posted February 5, 2009 #202 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I cruised with Matt Baker twice and we hung out with him and "Double D" one night with some other staff. He was CRAZY and did the funniest Austin Powers impression you've ever seen. Remember Jeff fondly too. Can't say I've ever had one I didn't like! Ken Rush is a sweetie.

NancyIL Posted February 5, 2009 #203 Share Posted February 5, 2009 My first Royal Caribbean cruise was on Splendour of the Seas in April 2005, and Graham Seymour was the Cruise Director. As far as I was concerned, he could've been the evening entertainment every night and I would've been happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkycat Posted February 5, 2009 #204 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Mike from the AOS soon to be on the SOS :( Which SOS is he going to? I wonder if I'll see him again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonAlone Posted February 8, 2009 #206 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Kieron Buffrey had some good jokes but wasn't really evident on the ship except for a few quick one-liners at the end of the shows and for the trunkated version of Mr & Mrs when real answers were changed to what he thought would be funnier, and the show lasted about 30 mins. I would have thought a good Cruise Director would know what was happening in every bar / venue at every minute of the cruise, and be able to stop deluded karaoki queens from performing all over the ship wherever there happened to be a piano or guitar playing, assaulting ear drums day in - day out..... and not on karaoki scheduled events... A good CD should ensure that the shows are on when people want them, and that there is suitable entetainment scheduled for all...not everything planned for pre-dinner for late sitting diners.. (little point booking late sitting if the shows are on at 7.15!!) If the above is true, I would imagine there must be better CDs than Kieron, as the entertainment last week on Brilliance of the Seas consisted of ballroom dancing after dinner and very little else.... except unscheduled karaoki... very SAGA, very Butlins, not very Royal Caribbean of previous years.

Shannon12 Posted February 8, 2009 #208 Share Posted February 8, 2009 We just had James Andrews and thought he was great. His assistant and staff were awesome too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WowItsMarissa Posted February 10, 2009 #210 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Dave Chapman! Although Tim Connor and Phil Munro NEED to be promoted to Cruise Director. Sometimes I find the Activities Manager a lot funnier and charismatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy7753 Posted February 10, 2009 #214 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was on the Jewel in October, and again in January, and Joff Eaton is amazing, as is the rest of his staff - very funny and friendly. For that matter, every crew member on the Jewel was great. I think that this is the friendliest crew that I have encountered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldN1 Posted February 13, 2009 #215 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Does anyone know who the cruise director will be on the Independence sailing 2/21/2009 - just heard Allan Brooks is off the ship? Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborito Posted February 13, 2009 #216 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Clo was on my Jewel of the Seas transatlantic last March and she was absolutely the best! We had Bill Brunckhorst on the Brilliance in Dec. 07, just three months prior and he was nowhere as good or funny as she was. My absolute favorite was Clo on the Jewel with Mike Szwajkowski on the Adventure a close 2nd. Clo's boy was so cute last year when he would come out on stage in all kinds of costumes :) Edited February 13, 2009 by Deborito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcyccruiser Posted February 15, 2009 #217 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Of the ones we have had as CDs:Ken Rush, Bobby Brown, James Andrews Top tier Graham Seymour, Dan Whitney 2nd tier Karen Mayberry, Gordon Whatman Bottom We've had many others, but none memorable enough to remember. Have not had Clo, Becky or Sapcey. Probably the best, now retired: Jeffrey Arpin I Agree: Jeffrey Arpin, was the best CD! He is retired now and the last I heard, owns a golf course in Naples FL.

His staff was fantastic too. We love the gang on Explorer!!!! So we are very excited when we have Bingo Boy Dave Chapman as our Cd and Capt Ryan at the helm!!!! It is better than being in good hands with allstate! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitnessmaniac Posted April 6, 2009 #220 Share Posted April 6, 2009 There was a guy several years ago that was the assistant CD named "Bingo Richie" He went on to become a CD. Is his last name Spacey? I saw many people liked him and I was wondering if he's the same Richard? He was so funny! Loved him! Where is Richard Spacey a CD now? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jst Posted April 6, 2009 #223 Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know how to e-mail the cruise director on Enchantment? We have just learned our M & M is scheduled at 10 am on the day of our 1st port of call and not a sea day. There are 106 of us registered and we have contacted Crown and Anchor but are told they do not handle this. We would really appreciate the info if any has it.:) Thanks Edited April 6, 2009 by jst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
