    I know!  So sad.  One of the better ones too.  I messaged Royal earlier to ask who my CD would be in December.  They said Jamie Fentiman.  Then I asked about Tim and they said he was not on any of their ships.  When I flat out asked if he left, they said they could not disclose that.  @Joe01 how do you know for sure he left and he's not just on vacation?

    The Liberty's Captain confirmed Oasis to Galveston. A stateroom attendant or waiter may say something about ship deployment, but I can trust that the Captain would know for sure.
    When we were on Explorer in 2012, Captain Loy confirmed Quantum to NJ and Anthem to Southampton for their respective Inaugural seasons, both of which turned out to be true.

    In my opinion, every Cruise Director should be as energetic as Hugo. Royal made a good call promoting him as they needed a new and dynamic CD that had enthusiasm and energy. Fingers crossed that Assata and other strong AM's move up, and that Leigh comes back.

    I think the AM is Cecy del Razo from Mexico. I thought that Mike Szwajkowski replaced Bob on 10/6, so thanks for confirming that Bob is still there.
    Enjoy the cruise!

    Going to send Royal a Twitter message to see who is covering Abe's vacation in January. That might give an indication as to who will be there in July...
    I have a colleague sailing in February so can ask on their behalf.

    I don't think he will be there either....sad news.  Well if I get Tim Connor on Indy on December 29 that will make up for it.  And there's still Harmony in March that is question mark...I thought Marc would come back but it sounds like he wants to stay on Liberty...

    Europe in 2020 on Allure, Indy or a Quantum Class (seems to be Anthem and/or Q5) lease! Then I can join for my first solo cruise.

    You might be in luck. I read on CC that Mike Szwajkowski is off to Oasis Class next year and thinks he will do either Harmony or Symphony. He's had phenomenal feedback from the Brilliance Transatlantic.

    January 5th is when Abe leaves.
    Glad to hear you enjoyed Hugo. He seems like a great CD. Very energetic, which is what the role needs. Happy for him that he has moved up the ranks to Mariner after Empress (who would want to work there?).

    Nope.  We booked her because we enjoyed Mariner in August and we wanted to sail out of FLL for New year's.  I found out after that it might be Tim.  That just raised my excitement for December.

    As long as it's not BB again, I'm good.  I will be so excited if we get to sail with Tim again!

    Leigh! I had them back in 2012 on Explorer and they were a great team. Leigh was a very different style of CD which was refreshing. I also had Frankie with Jimmy Rhodes in 2014 on Oasis. He seemed to be pretty good as well. I wish they were still with Royal, but maybe I'll give Carnival a try one day.

    Taling about trivia, I've heard that Dru often hosts some trivia on the ship. Might be worth checking out.

    Was making a silly reference to Ivan Pavlov, who gained notoriety for his experiments with conditioned response training. He mainly worked with dogs, and would train them to salivate whenever he would ring a bell by first associating the bell in their minds with being given food (positive conditioning), so that eventually any time a bell was rung they'd expect food and start salivating in response.
    Basically, was asking if Dru would be such a great cruise director that by the end of my cruise I'd be "salivating" in expectation of a good time if I simply heard his name (metaphorical ringing of the bell).

    Joe01 got a reaction from 4ensic in What ships to try after Symphony?   
    It does not feel like a Royal Caribbean ship. Very different design, lacked a lot of amenities that I liked on other ships, too much reservations, overcrowded etc. I don't regret trying the Anthem to see what Quantum Class had to offer, but wouldn't do it again.

    I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that. Dru seems well liked by many, if that helps.
