Thorntor Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just got off a six day sailing on the Allure without ever seeing the cruise director out and about or mingling with the guests. We were on board four of the six days and with the exception off the Daily Show, we never saw the gentleman. I thought I saw him once,but it was the fellow who works in Future Cruises. Not sure what his job description is, but I suspect that interacting with the guests is in there somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I've had cruise directors completely invisible. I've had cruise directors appear seemingly everywhere I looked. Such a wide array of interactivity levels among CDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatyBoaty Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think I ran into him once a couple of weeks ago, only because I saw his name tag, but I know he was out there making announcements and keeping things rolling for sure. So many activities and just a great cruise. I didn't expect to like Allure so much and I just loved it.

He was getting a drink from the starbucks and took the time while waiting to check in with everyone. Unless someone new took over since August, the Cruise Director looks like Drew Carey lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeloAl Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Of all my cruises I couldn't tell you the name or what any CD looked like. It has made no difference in my experience whatsoever.

In my experience the Cruise Director is running activities and attending events all over the ship. And on an Oasis class ship, they obviously can't be at every activity. If you were focused on things like the adult pools, bars, gym, spa, etc. then no, I don't think you'd have much interaction with the cruise director. If you were attending shows, trivia, bingo, pool games (like belly flop contest), etc. and didn't see them, then yes, I would think that's odd but maybe just due to the size of the ship.

Watched the CD every day on the Morning Show and the CD had a beard and mustache (and didn't have his mouth wide open.). Also don't believe his name was Cory. Agree with Atlantix2000's insightful comments. We were about on the ship every day, spending hours people watching and did not disembark in Roatan or Costa Maya due to hip issues. We did go to the Aqua Show, production show Mama Mia which was fantastic, and the 70/80s event on the Promenade and did not see the CD. Perhaps he will come forward ???????????

Ampurp85 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 I often see the CD a lot when I cruise and have seen Cory, but I believe he was on another cruise ship......I want to say Mariner or Indy. I saw my CD several time when I was on Harmony. Jeff was always out and about, getting in people's business. He was a fun guy who said he was from Ohio and makes his own clothes. I asked him how and he said he sews rags together. I think they can make or break a cruise experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
