Current Cruise Directors (CD) List - UPDATED

[gagirl7143]

Clo is on her way to Jewel now and is probably on board as I type.

[mommabean]

Do any cruisers returning this weekend have info or updates for us?

 

Verification needed for:

 

Abel Jeney: how much longer will he be on Adventure, and who will be the next CD?

 

John Blair is taking his break on May 3rd? Who will be the next CD on Enchantment?

 

Dennis Sciortino (aka Dennis Charles) is taking a break sometime in May. Does anyone know the exact date? Who will be the next CD on Jewel?

 

James Andrews: does anyone know when he started on Liberty, and when he is expected to go on break, and who will be the next CD on Liberty?

 

Marc Walker: Does anyone know when he is ending his paternity leave and starting on Monarch?

 

Warren Allen (aka Warren Melhuish): When is he due to take a break and who will be the next CD on Navigator?

 

Bobby and Becky Brown: what date are they leaving Radiance for their break?

 

Paul Rutter when is he starting on Radiance?

 

Splendour OTS - João Pereira (need dates)

 

Vision OTS - Claudia Periou (need dates)

 

Paul Rutter joins RD on the next Vancouver. Bobby and Becky leave the following Seward - 7 days later.

Thanks for this info. Do we have a starting date for her? Would that be May 3 eastbound TA? (I have old info that says she'll be on until the westbound TA, so can we assume she'll be on Jewel for the entire European season?)

Just to be clear, is that May 11 (Vancouver) and May 18 (Seward).

 

Or the May 4 (Vancouver round trip)

This list is maintained based on anecdotal info reported by cruisers on these ships, therefore I depend upon returning cruisers to post their CD here or to include it in their reviews. I try to sift through all the reviews for CD info. If anyone can help me, please post what you know (and provide your source if possible), or refer me to a review or thread that contains the info.

 

Please note the info does not come from an "official" source, and emails from RCI stating who the CD will be on a future cruise are often incorrect. CD's are not on a specific rotation schedule, and they move around from ship to ship, so it's impossible to predict in advance. Accuracy of this list is only as good as people reporting back to us after their cruises. It may be off by weeks, or even months.
