Joe01 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 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.

But nothing is confirmed so don't worry. I just don't want to take the chance. Also, if I use the max of 3 contracts on each ship rule, then he won't be back next summer. Contact Royal via social media and try to get a response from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG Cruiser Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 The Cruise Director on the Majesty last November (2017) was a guy with a very long foreign name. IIRC, he was of Polynesian descent. Does anyone here know/remember him? I'm trying to recall who he was. I also forgot the short version of his name.

I thought all the while that Moe was the CD. He pretty much did everything that Bobby Brown did on the Harmony when I was on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky is very high energy, so he was possibly unwell that sailing and Moe stepped up to cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Is there a current cruise director list? We are on HOS the first week in July. I absolutely loved JImmy Rhodes and his activities director when we sailed on Allure this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diane S Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Amazes me you remember these cruise directors. We are on Harmony in January so we will see. Do you plan your cruises based on the cruise director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesGurner Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Hi we’re cuttently sailing on Indy we thought Tim O’Connor would be cruise director, he’s even listed in day 1’s cruise compass. Although on our welcome aboard show we have Ken Jones..... never had him as CD before doing a pretty good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible that Tim had to leave for a sailing or two and Ken headed there to cover as he had just left Vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Sarah Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I had Jamie Fentiman as CD on a cruise a couple of years or so ago; I thought he was good - not as good as Joff but better than Rob McNally Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe01 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Can definitely confirm that Tim has left as his LinkedIn is no longer showing Royal Caribbean. His departure has me scratching my head a bit. Hoping it was nothing serious and wishing him and his family the best going forward. He was the youngest CD in the fleet. They need to hire someone young next to put a Millennial twist on things. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike is on GR until February 14th then presumably heads for vacation. He said on CC that he is expecting to go to an Oasis Class next year. He's already been on OA before so thinks it will be HM or SY. Fingers crossed it will be the one that I choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjacobs Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just got off the Serenade boat this morning. Andrea is the new cruise director and we really liked him. Yes, he is Italian. He even added something really special. At night he brought us up to deck 13 and had them turn off the lights near us. We had such a magnificent view of the stars. Then, using a laser pointer he pointed out the different stars and constellations. I learned so much! spiralqueen and JennyB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
