jjb415 Posted March 3, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2010 He was great on the Mariner this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterchick Posted March 3, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 3, 2010 He was our CD on Rhapsody last month, probably because he's Australian, and was on Mariner last year. I don't remember much about him from Mariner. On Rhapsody he was good. He catered to the Australian crowd (they made up 50% of the passengers, so for good reason) and seemed to be well received. I thought he was clever and liked that he was low key. His announcements were minimal, which I really appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted March 3, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We had Dave as our CD on Explorer almost 2 years ago (WOW can't believe its that long ago :( ). Anyway, it was one of his early sailing and we very much enjoyed him. If he is still doing his morning show (on the RCL channel on the TV in your room) definitely check it out, it was a great way to start the day.

rsantars Posted March 3, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Dave Chapman does a great job. He was the CD on the last 2 cruises me and DW did on Explorer. Very funny and friendly As the other person mentioned his morning show is a good way to start the day. He also does a great job with the love and marriage show.

maxs mom Posted March 3, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We've sailed with Dave twice now on the Explorer. He is funny and very entertaining. He does a great job with the Village People and is quite personable. He came to one of the Meet and Mingles but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbonz Posted March 3, 2010 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2010 We had him on our cruise last june he was so funny and kept us in stitches the whole trip. Will be back on the ship this May and only hope he will be on her also...one of the best CD in the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheresTheBuffet Posted March 3, 2010 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Aka G'Day Dave. My 12 year old Daugher considered him a rock star and had her picture taken with him. In addition to the events mentioned above try and see his hilarious cooking demonstration. Edited March 3, 2010 by WheresTheBuffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softail Posted March 3, 2010 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just wondering how he is. We'll have him on our upcoming Explorer cruise in 15 days :) I will agree with everyone.

gagirl7143 Posted March 4, 2010 #18 Share Posted March 4, 2010 He must have changed a lot!!!!! Sailed with him 2 yr ago and he was so very juvenile!!! Worst we ever had!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar*Magnolia Posted March 4, 2010 #19 Share Posted March 4, 2010 G-day Dave learned all his moves and words from Allan Brooks. He is a mini-Allan, lmao He is very popular with kids and he is friendly most of the time, but not all. We've actually found the Captain and his officers more friendly then Dave. But having said that, he does an excellent job as CD and is enjoyed by all (most). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrafficChick Posted December 5, 2010 #20 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I just finished a cruise in the Mediterranean in November 2010. Dave was the CD. He is funny, especially if you have not seen his shtick before. Unfortunately, I have. He did the same 'baby in the morning' routine 2 1/2 years ago, and even said he composed it for his sister who just had her first baby BOTH times. Now, correct me, if I am wrong, how does his sister give birth to her first baby 2 1/2 years apart. Also his top ten questions and answers were EXACTLY the same 2 1/2 years apart, although his timing has gotten better. Aside from that, yes, he is very good, and he has a deliciously sexy body. I had full body contact with him when we were dancing together during 70's dance hour. I must say, I was a bit infatuated. He is very good at 'Love and Marriage' but he did get carried away trying to get one of the wives to pick him as the guy she should pick to be a desert island. A little creepy if you ask me. So, is he the best cruise director ever? Probably not. Is he the worst, definitely not. He needs to work a little more on his delivery, and not be quite so self absorbed, but he is entertaining to watch, and if you get a chance to dance with him....GO FOR IT.

BND Posted December 6, 2010 #21 Share Posted December 6, 2010 So, he's rotating back to Explorer? He was on in March but not a few weeks ago. He does a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhb Posted December 6, 2010 #22 Share Posted December 6, 2010 We loved Dave on Explorer 1 1/2 years ago. We were picked as the middle couple in the Love and Marriage Show. I don't think I ever laughed so hard. Tears were rolling down my face almost the whole time. I couldn't answer the questions because I was laughing. Just watched the video again today so my future son-in-law could see it:eek:. (He might not want to marry my daughter now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted December 6, 2010 #23 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I just realized this thread was from March so I'm not sure where he currently is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeCruiser119 Posted July 26, 2014 #24 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I know I'm a little bit late, but I had Dave as CD on the Oasis in March and I must say he was fabulous! Very attentive with a good sense of humor, he really got you excited for what you have in store in your vacation. I also loved his morning show, very funny! I thought he did a great job and for those who have him on an upcoming cruise, you're in for some more fun added to your already fun cruise vacation!
