negc Posted April 20, 2011 #276 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Was he part of the entertainment staff and sang with his wife on the Voyager back in 2004? He has been a cruise director since at least 1998 when we sailed with him on Rhapsody of the Seas from Hawaii to Vancouver, and is a talented singer. I don't believe he is married.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemcam1 Posted April 20, 2011 #277 Share Posted April 20, 2011 According to RCI customer service Chris Northey is on the Explorer until May 26, 2011. Anyone know who will replace him? I will be on EOS in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison81 Posted April 20, 2011 #278 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Anyone know who will replace him? I will be on EOS in July. I should have asked when I called, sorry. It was easy to find out though. I just called RCI customer service and asked who the CD would be for our sailing. He said "no problem at all, I will get that info for you", put me on hold for not even a minute and gave me the name & date he would be leaving.

M&A Posted April 20, 2011 #279 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I really liked Carly when she was CD on our Alaska cruise - she is certainly visible around the ship most of the time, seemed to be a very likeable person and was always happy to stop for a chat whenever we saw her. Is she the Welsh girl that says she went to school with Catherine Zeta Jones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas Vic Posted April 20, 2011 #280 Share Posted April 20, 2011 We have had Ken Rush several times and he is far from our favorite cruise director; he is like chalk across a blackboard. An example is this topic of him openly taking issue with people leaving the theater during his self involved closing/schedule comments; we find that very unprofessional on his part. Ken Rush needs to grow up and learn it is not about him; it is about the gusts. The passengers have paid a lot of money to cruse and if they want to leave the theater it is their right to do so as long as they are leaving quietly. Gee, even when the Captain speaks during his daily update all passengers do not stop in their tracks and listen to his every word. I agree. For cruising newbies, these comments by the CD may be interesting and worthwhile. For many of us, it's totally repetitive and not worth sitting through. A CD veteran like Rush should understand this.

Rare printingchick Posted April 20, 2011 #284 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Who is currently on the Voyager? Mike S. is my favorite cruise director to date. Really great. I sailed on the Voyager recently and the CD was Casey Pelter. He was FANTASTIC! Was disappointed to hear it would not be Mike S. for our cruise, but Casey was just great! If you get either of these two guys, you'll be pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr8z4cruzn Posted May 12, 2011 #292 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've been trying to hunt down the CD on Majesty back in July of 2007. He was the best.....does anyone recall his name and if he's still with RCCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not on vacation in Oct, he should be your CD. Mike S also said that he had his application in for a law enforcement job in Canada (local group, not the Mounties). After 11 years on a ship, he said he is looking for a change. So, I suppose there is a chance he may not return after his vacation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan1312 Posted May 12, 2011 #295 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Has anyone had 'John and Katrina Blair' as their CD(s), I've never had a team, what's that like? We'll be on the Enchantment August 11th, so unless they change before then, I guess I'll be finding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the same couple, we were on Nordic Empress (maybe Song of America as well) and Monarch with them. That was quite some time ago as Monarch was sailing out of Port Everglades and the New York to Bermuda run on the others was before that. They do a great job!

purpletequila Posted May 14, 2011 #298 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Was Dennis with the Serenade last November? I really liked my cruise director and forgot his name. If so, do you know if he will be there this December? They make SUCH a difference imo. Thanks for the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentkink Posted May 14, 2011 #299 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Does anyone know who the cruise director will be for the July 2nd sailing of Oasis of the Seas? When we were on Freedom and had Ken Rush, and he was AMAZING, so I was wondering if he will be our cruise director again, thanks in advance.

Do cruise directors really stay at it for over 20 years? We did our honeymoon cruise on Nordic Empress (1st cruise), NY to Bermuda in August of 91. I think Song of America was already gone by then.
