misguidedangel Posted November 30, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Steve Knisley is the CD for the Liberty. Steve is from Toronto (Ontario--yes he is Canadian). Steve was truly hilarious, and add James the Assistand CD in the mix you are in for a suprise. The two play off each other and they have a lot of fun together. You will have a good time. I suggest the lido deck party, it is quite fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitaturbodog Posted November 30, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We just got off Liberty and I thought that Steve was one of the worst CD's we've ever experienced. James, the Asst. CD was funny and always seen around on the ship. We only saw Steve at the beginning of the shows and on the TV. He didn't even show up for "Walk for the Cure" but James and the Captain were there. Also, he speaks SOOOOOOO fast it's ridiculous. For someone who's supposed to be imparting information to the guests, you can't figure out what he's saying.

Middle Georgia Cruiser Posted November 30, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2008 We just returned yesterday from the Liberty. I was not really impressed with our CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vacruizer Posted November 30, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2008 On the Imagination it was Karl with a K , he was great . If Karl is still on the Imagination he is awesome - sailed twice with him on the Liberty. Very out and about - you can tell he loves his job and both performing onstage and interacting with the guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valancy1 Posted November 30, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2008 See, I really liked Steve Knicely on Liberty. LOVED JAMES... OMG he is HYSTERICAL. You'll have a great time. I liked how Steve got on the PA system and wished everyone a good day and went over some of the offerings for the day and such. The last cruise we just returned from didn't have that--the CD on that cruise was ONLY around when he was on stage (imho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalCruzer Posted November 30, 2008 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I was not a big fan of Steve's on the Liberty. I preferred Todd from our last Liberty cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Steve talked entirely too fast. We just returned from the Liberty and I wrote that on the comment card.

misguidedangel Posted December 1, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Steve was around the Liberty, naturally it wasn't when I was around. Many people who I met at our meet and greet ran into him and chatted with him on the ship. It could have been that our ship was rerouted and he needed to do a few more checks because the route was one that the ship has never done before. Steve didn't talk fast, he talks normal speed, from my perspective. Please don't blast me on this, but you might notice what I am saying. Southerners talk slower and with a drawl. I can't watch anything redneck because they talk too slow and take their sweet times. Perhaps it is a Northern thing. Perhaps it's the fact we have four seasons and we get snow that makes us talk faster cuz it can get downright cold when it snows..... Based on where you are all from (in youyr profiles) I am sensing it is a North/South thing (Southern drawl vs no drawl at all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Georgia Cruiser Posted December 1, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The drawl has nothing to do with it. We ( southerners ) always seem to get a bad rap from yous guys. Maybe, you should quit making fun of people and stereotyping. I just did not find him to my favorite CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and single people who like cats! And stereotyping men who do blue collar jobs that all they do on weekends is sit and drink beer and watch football! And that ALL women love shoes! C'mon... everyone somewhere along the line is stereotyped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL HomeschoolMom Posted December 1, 2008 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2008 We did not think that Steve talked too fast at all...we thought he was a good cruise director. Perhaps Carnival should hire only Americans to keep the majority of their cruisers happy...we as Canadians seem to be more tolerant of cultural differences.

Middle Georgia Cruiser Posted December 1, 2008 #14 Share Posted December 1, 2008 OK, I am fine with it. I do think that it was a tolerant Canadian who mentions redneck and and slow southerners and being connected to each other. Hey, I sure am not politically correct. I guess I will take the jab.

rico Posted December 1, 2008 #15 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Karl with a K left the Imagination on Nov 7 for vacation. Tina Noble was the Imagination cruise director after that. She was a decent cruise director, but nothing really stood out. You know there are some CD's you see everywhere, everyone talks about them being great, etc. She didn't strike me as in that category. But didn't have any complaints about her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abitaturbodog Posted December 1, 2008 #16 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I'm actually a native New Yorker, so I don't know what you mean by the "redneck" thing. Just because I live in SC doesn't make me slow. But it does make me smart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingray310 Posted December 2, 2008 #18 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I really wasn't impressed with Steve either on the Liberty. Didn't have a problem with the way he spoke, just didn't really care for him that much compared with other CD's I've had in the past.

Squirtle Posted December 2, 2008 #19 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I just got back from the Liberty and thought Steve was a very good CD. I did not think he spoke too fast, but then I'm often accused of being a "fast talker" myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
