crazy 4 cruising Posted March 28, 2007 #852 Share Posted March 28, 2007 My guess for the rhapsody is Dan Whitney, He has been off for at least 4 months, so he should be back. It seems he was a perminant fixture on the Rhapsody. Unless anyone else has a guess..... no offense to DAn, but I hope you are wrong. Before going on other ships and seeing other CDs, he wasn't TOO bad, but now OMG:eek: . Sorry Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioPeri Posted March 28, 2007 #853 Share Posted March 28, 2007 no offense to DAn, but I hope you are wrong. Before going on other ships and seeing other CDs, he wasn't TOO bad, but now OMG:eek: . Sorry Dan. Wow. I couldn't disagree more, but I guess that's what makes the world go 'round. I cruise a fair amount...fourteen cruises in the last seven years, most on Royal, then Celebrity and a couple on Princess. While I've generally found positives in most of the Cruise Directors, I'd have to say Dan Whitney immediately stood out as one of the friendliest, most engaging, genuine personalities I've encountered. Our Rhapsody cruise with Dan (January of '07) was one of most enjoyable we've had, due, in no small part, to his presence and leadership of his staff. I don't need or like the glitz and veneer I've found on other ships. Give me someone who honestly enjoys his guests and treats them as such, and I'm as happy as can be. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. ~ Peri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glgolfer Posted March 28, 2007 #854 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Dan was the CD a few years ago on the Nordic Empress (pre name change). I have to agree with peris...... He was always out and around. Always friendly and saying hello. He came to the M&M and was very entertaining. He remembered names and always called us by name whenever he saw us around the ship. After 21 cruises with RCI, Dan's one of the top 5 that I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted March 28, 2007 #855 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I just asked a recent Rhapsody cruiser (3/18) who the CD was and was told "Chris" (no last name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsshipboy Posted March 28, 2007 #856 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I just asked a recent Rhapsody cruiser (3/18) who the CD was and was told "Chris" (no last name). That would be Chris Amras, previously on the Sovereign. Dan Whitney has not been around for a few months it seems, it looks like he may have moved on.

daveky Posted March 29, 2007 #857 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Jeffrey Arpin (retired) but was the greatest. He fell in love and moved to Ohio and owns a travel agency. Dave (your horse racing buddy in Kentucky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefighterhoop Posted March 30, 2007 #859 Share Posted March 30, 2007 It will be interesting to see if Dan pops back up or not. It seems that some CD's go into "hiding" for a long time, and then pop back up! I for one hope he comes back, he was friendly, talkitive, and for sure had the best Quest that I have seen!!!!!!! Also anyone heard form Carley B? Is she going back to the Enchantment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyheypaula Posted April 4, 2007 #860 Share Posted April 4, 2007 My DH and I will be sailing on the Radiance of the Seas from April 28th through MAy 12th. I haven't looked back on this thread to see if there is a CD that has been noted as the one scheduled for that time frame. We have sailed several different lines, but my favorite cruise director of all time was James Andrews from our second cruise. We were on the Rhapsody of the Seas in December of 2003 when he was there. WHat a great guy! We also saw the FUNNIEST Not-So-Newlywed game that week!!!!

mommabean Posted April 4, 2007 #862 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Also anyone heard form Carley B? Is she going back to the Enchantment? We'll be getting on the Enchantment tomorrow. I'll report back as to who the CD is - Carley B. or Paul Rutter. I had high hopes for Paul being on board but I've heard so many great things about Carley B. that I'll be just as happy with her, I'm sure.

Did he do his morning TV show? and if so, did you watch it? it was informative and entertaining. Anyone know who is on the Rhapsody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
German Wunderkind Posted April 11, 2007 #872 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Peter Benfield is no longer with Royal. Hi, does anybody have any other information about Peter?

emdia43 Posted April 11, 2007 #873 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Rico Du-Breil was our first Cruise Director,on Majesty of the Seas. That was our first cruise and I didn't know what a CD did,but he's the gold standard for me,since then. Wonder where he is now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonerb Posted April 11, 2007 #874 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi GW; Rumor has it that Peter has retired to his farm in Thailand. Can't you just see him cleaning up after his cows in one of his beautifully tailored Tuxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
