grangermom Posted April 13, 2006 #326 Share Posted April 13, 2006 We just returned on April 9th. He is the best! I give him four stars.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted April 13, 2006 #327 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Just returned from the April 2nd Explorer cruise. Clo said she will return to Explorer on August 6th. Did not hear her say anything about being PG though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveky Posted April 13, 2006 #328 Share Posted April 13, 2006 One of the best CDs I used to sail with was Jeffrey Arpin. He has since semi retired and gone into his own business in Naples but fills in from tiime to time. But we have sailed with him many times and he loved his job and his passengers. He retired around 4 years ago in his late 40s but was with the cruise lines many years and do miss him. Unless things have changed, as earlier post mentioned, Ken Rush is the Senior Cruise Director now and does a great job. If Jeffrey reads the posts, hope he is doing well and do miss him.

wags Posted April 13, 2006 #329 Share Posted April 13, 2006 We were on the 04/02 Explorer cruise. Clo definitely announced she was going home to Ireland to "be a Mommy". Don't expect her back soon, if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted April 13, 2006 #331 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi we are just off the Mariner of the Seas 3/12/06 James Andrews is cruise director...funny man we loved him! and Captain Johnny..also quite funny. Great cruise! Great combination -- we also had both on our June Mariner cruise. As I may have noted before, James is great at the Love and Marriage -- got info out of my son-in-law's grandparents that even their kids did not know.

Angelgirl18 Posted April 13, 2006 #332 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I can confirm as well that at the very end of the farewell show Clo announced that she was going home "for a break and to be a mommy". She obviously took everyone by surprise as many of our photos will attest to...lots of hugging and crying on stage. Apparently according to a staff member who was greeting people as we left the theatre, her husband had just left the ship the week before to fly home ahead of her. I am so happy for her...I'm sure her child will have all the ice cream he/she can handle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted April 13, 2006 #333 Share Posted April 13, 2006 John & Sandy Did Captain Johnny and James state when their time off started. We are going May 28th and are wondering if they will be there then. Thanks in advance. Tim & Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hac82 Posted April 13, 2006 #334 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Where is Becky ('ello luv) Thomson? She was the CD on Voyager last summer and was fantastic. Also, who is replacing Clo O'Conner on the Explorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam308 Posted April 16, 2006 #336 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Just got off a Mariner back to back last Sunday. James Andrews left April 2 for a vacation before coming back on to the Freedom when she sails with paying passengers in June. Becky Thompson came on April 2 to take over for him. Don't know how long CD contracts are for, but hope this helps. Becky bothers me...no one should be that happy, even if you are on a cruise!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm9999 Posted April 17, 2006 #340 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks for the updates Slam308 and camreesmom. Skiiergirl - I was wondering about Gordon as well. He has been on holiday for awhile now so I assume that any time now he will be coming back.

Lowcountrygal Posted April 17, 2006 #341 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks for the update. It's probably a safe bet that we'll have Becky "Hello Love" Thompson on the Mariner in early June. We've enjoyed her on the Mariner during her first week aboard that ship back in Jun '04. She's an outstanding CD, will miss James Andrews though.

ladylawyer Posted May 6, 2006 #347 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Just got off the Monarch on 5-5-06. The CD was Marc Walker, from UK. He was the CD who filled in on the Radiance, when Matt Sole left suddenly. He was great and I hope he stays. I liked him much better then Moe (who was the CD last December).

ladylawyer Posted May 6, 2006 #349 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I respectfully disagree, but then, that's what makes the world so great ... we're not all the same and we don't all have the same likes/dislikes. However, Eric, one thing we have in common: Go 'Niners!!!! (I just realized that you changed your avatar.
