Solara Posted November 18, 2013 #126 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks again for all the kind words everyone. This is Dave, checking in (as I do once in a while). Currently, I'm on Star Princess having switched over after my vacation. The Hawaii season is in full swing, and the Aloha Spirit is alive and well on our "new" ship. I'm on with Elua (Dave & Leialoha), we're just at the back end of the third cruise of the season and things are going great. We look forward to welcoming our friends back for the season, and to making new ones this year! I'm on through late February 2014 (as of now - our full, finalized schedules haven't been posted yet, but I was given an off-date of Feb. 18th), though that might change. I offered to extend, or to take a short break and come back to finish out the Hawaii season on Star. Haven't heard the final word yet. Come sail - live the Aloha Spirit with us! Hope to see you all out here soon! Dave Cole, Cruise Director, Star Princess Dave, Fingers crossed that they approve an extension or that you are back by our March 20th sail date. This is our 4th cruise to Hawaii & we have sailed with you the other 3 & really hope that you are there for our 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonacruiser25 Posted November 19, 2013 #127 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We were on Star on the 10/21/13 sailing. Dave did a great job for us. I loved his energy and sincerity and knowledge of Hawaii! We had the best time we have had on a cruise and what great memories. Dave and his staff kept the ship lively and if anyone was bored they had to want to be. I've been on cruises where you really thought the CD was MIA but not so with Dave and his staff. Thanks Dave and please give my regards to Ian. I hope he had a safe journey home and back. Aloha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Oldies Posted November 19, 2013 #128 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We were also on the 10/21 cruise on the Star. What a great cruise! As always David Cole had more activities going than we could go to unless we cloned ourselves. The 1st cruise we took to Hawaii was on the Island Princess 10/2005 and David Cole was CD then. Until we took this last cruise we thought that was the best cruise we'd ever been on. He sets a high bar for others to measure up too. Thanks.

CdMAgFox Posted November 19, 2013 #129 Share Posted November 19, 2013 We are on the January 19th (2014) sailing of the Star Princess to Hawaii - again! This will be our 6th trip to Hawaii, and (hopefully) our third with you as Cruise Director. Unfortunately our "6-pack" of cruisers will not be joining us this time as in April of 2010; we were all in your ukulele class on that cruise. Remember us? :rolleyes: This will be our first cruise on the Star Princess but, being a sister ship of the Grand Princess (3x) and the Golden Princess (4x), it should feel like "home" - especially with your superlative cruise direction. I look forward with great anticipation to seeing you again as Cruise Director. You are THE BEST! :) ~Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a cruise to Hawaii that year, same ship, same time of year. We're you on our roll call? Just wondering? We still keep in touch with Tom & Gail from our cruise.

Cruisin Oldies Posted November 19, 2013 #131 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Hi, No, not on any roll call at that time. Cruising was something new to us. Were you involved with the Men vs Woman challenge? We had fun with that. There was a honeymoon couple that did it along with many others. Lasted all cruise.

Hope you let us know that you will stay for our cruise! Thisi is a very special cruise for us as we are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and will be renewing our vows on this voyage. We really hope we get to meet you on Feb 18th! Happy Holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as19111 Posted November 27, 2013 #135 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, we sailed on the Diamond Princess in 2007 to Hawaii and David Cole was our CD. We enjoyed his morning show, loved all the sea day activities and still think he is the best CD of any and all we've experienced...some of them twice! David, you have heart and soul!

silver-hair cruiser Posted January 6, 2014 #138 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Aloha - This is Dave Cole (SA Cruise Director). The answer to the question about me being on for the March 24th cruise is - Yes! I was meant to end my tour on the 24th, but have just been extended until March 31st, as we will be introducing the new "Anytime Entertainment" on that particular voyage on Sapphire. See you then. . Dave-Just wondering if you ever sail to 28 day Hawaii, Samoa & Tahiti cruises? We are doing it again the April 1st and a cruise of that length could sure use to of your knowledge and activities. It would be so nice to catch up. A hui hou, JoAnn & Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted November 17, 2014 #139 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Will Dave Cole be CD on the April 27th sailing on Star? We enjoyed or 25th Anniversary cruise with him on Sapphire back in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper69 Posted November 17, 2014 #140 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Got an email from Princess he will be on my cruise next week Nov 24 Hawaii out of San Francisco. Great to see that we'll have a great Cruise Director and with such a following. I must try to meet him and let him know he's loved by many.
