bluenosers Posted April 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2004 We had the pleasure of having Simon Wier as Cruise Director on both the Galaxy and Summit. He is a great cruise director and very pleasant when around the passengers. Our group had nothing but praise for Simon. With any luck he will be on board when we book Summit again next year.

Senga Posted April 22, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2004 We have had Simon Weir on two cruises and both experiences were excellent. P.S. If you have something to say (or insinuate) about someone it's always a good idea to at least take the time to spell their name right!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlielinda Posted April 22, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I thought Simon was awesome. We saw him quite a bit out among the passengers and he was always very pleasant. We were thrilled to find out that he'll be on our October sailing on the Summit. Simon really loves the Summit and take great pride in her.

Danno Posted April 22, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2004 What brought this on?? I dislike open ended questions that imply rather than state an opinion. I don't pay attention to CD's as I find most of them WAY to chirpy for my tastes. However I know a great many people enjoy what they offer so they obviously serve a purpose...they just don't serve one for me. How many times have we all heard the "shower curtain" joke during disembarkation talks...might be time for some new material.

After the third cruise we didn't find them nearly as amusing. They must all use the same CD handbook! Sailyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsunset Posted April 25, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 25, 2004 As an ex-Celebrity cruise director, I can tell you that you learn most of the routine from the CD before you. If you have your own sthick, that's great for a few cruises. Sooner or later the repeat guests come and complain or you teach your vacation replacementand it sounds like you heard it before. It works well for those who cruise once in a while, but we all use the tried and true material. Now I sail as a guest on Celebrity and find that those who say the least are the best. Just be a good host and smile at the passengers. The days of opening monologues are basically over, thank God.
