Hi all,
Does Carnival have different roles for cruise directors on big ships vs small ships or are the extra activities some cruise directors do just their personality.
I’ve been on 4 carnival cruises and just booked a 5th. On the smaller ships (Elation, Paradise) the cruise director was rarely seen, and only made announcements for sales opportunities or safety announcements. I couldn’t even tell you their names except for Pauly.
My one time on a bigger ship (Sunshine) CD Christian De La Rosa was everywhere, hosting atrium dance parties (dancing on the bar himself) after the evening shows, extra pool events/dances and even had things like glow sticks or party favors being tossed out during those events to get everyone involved.
It added a lot of extra entertainment that was missing from the smaller ships.
Do you notice the bigger ships having more things like that or is it just Christian’s personality to do that kind of extras?
Booked on the Freedom for mid January and there isn’t a CD assigned yet, but hoping for someone more like Christian.
I was tempted to book Liberty instead of Freedom since that is where he is heading, but wanted a longer itinerary.
