Actually never hear Cory's name. Any info? Ditto. We had him on Mariner last summer and he's hilarious. Too bad we'll miss him. Hopefully the other guy is just as good.

Welcome! I sailed with Dennis on Harmony a month ago. Had low expectations from what I had read and watched of him, but I actually thought he was fine. Did a decent job with Love and Marriage, Morning Show etc and was personable in conversation. Unlike a certain other longterm CD that I have sailed with, he still clearly enjoys his job and it is obvious that he does want people to have a good time. My only issues were that he can sometimes be a bit loud on the microphone when closing shows and a bit too long-winded at some shows, he likes to talk a lot. Overall, I think he did a decent job and would probably be middle of the road in comparison to the others. Had better, had worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be our 4th cruise and had Mitch on Allure in 2017 and really enjoyed him. Last year on Oasis we had Dan Dan and he was kind of quirky but grew on us by the end of the cruise.

PurdueFlyer Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Any idea if Joff will still be the CD for our Sept 20th sailing on Ovation?

From reading the most recent update on CC, Mitch's replacement is still unknown, however, his most recent contract started a few weeks later than scheduled so he may still be on for your cruise. Mitch has a public FB page so it might be worth asking him there? He may have the info. Tracy K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
