Just before we got off the Jewel we were talking to someone who will be on the Explorer in a few weeks and he said that Leigh told him that he will be on the Explorer at that time (if not sooner). So, I'm guessing he's going back as activities director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulypride Posted September 18, 2012 #938 Share Posted September 18, 2012 What can anyone tell me about Mitch Merucci on Monarch? I was told Marc the normal CD is excellent. I am taking RCC because of a baffling CD experience on Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted September 21, 2012 Author #939 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Does anyone know if Joff Eaton will be on the IOS for the October 6-20Cruise? It's hard to tell. Your cruise is probably the last one of his contract. But, his contract could end on Oct 6, and your cruise could be the first one of the new CD's contract. Hopefully someone going on Indy in the next week or so can find out Joff's exact end date (and who the next CD will be) for us!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
