Joe01 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Dru seemed to be let go from Royal back in November. He is now working for Disney, although is not a Cruise Director. CDunninTX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @Joe01 has done a really good job with this. However, with his Harmony B2B almost here, I'm sure the Harmony CD is the only one he cares about right now.

Fingers crossed that Marc is a good CD. With regards to the list here, I'm not getting info regarding the CD's now. In addition, the CD List on CC is now totally substandard so I'm not bothering getting info from that. The AM List there was always terrible. The only info I'm getting is from any CD's that I follow on social media. ChessE4, Bob_KY and CDunninTX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Marc did a great job on the Love and Marriage show last month, but he was not as visible around the ship as I was used to. So either I don't go to his activities, or the Harmony is to big, or he has a different style. Ping pong. (or something like that is his code trademark).

I found the cd on allure to be absent a lot too...I’m totally chalking it up to big ship and can’t be a million places at once.

Joe01 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Yeah - the CD is not visible much on Oasis Class due to the size and the fact that they have more admin work to do than on a smaller ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a lot of admin work. To add to that, our embarkation day on Symphony was the Captain's first day on that ship also! CD Mike (who is great) had to spend a lot of time with him. But he got around as best he could on his segway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinSTL Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I know that Marc is taking time off when we're on our B2B September 8-22.. Anyone know who will be filling in for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 We have never gotten excited about whoever the CD is. Everyone must have better luck or different viewpoints, but we have only had a few that we really liked. The rest were fine, except for the one on Celebrity who was really horrible.

I still remember steve from our very first cruise on vision...with the smaller ship he was everywhere, even saying hello in the hallways. On all my other cruises I haven’t really paid attention that much. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3trinitythree Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Joff Eaton who was for years on the Independence has left to work with P&O if what I was told from Guest Relations staff to be true, also heard from some the reasons why, but not sure whether to believe it. Regardless of the reasons, he’s left a very big hole behind that the new CD just can’t fill. Skid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Marc was good on Harmony 6/16-23. Our favorite of all time was Graham, on Freedom several years ago. A very hard act to follow. Joe01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quite a guy. @Lovetocruise2002 says it's because he's Canadian. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
