drpickles Posted April 8, 2013 #101 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just back from the Oasis sailing and of all the cruises we have been on, no one was as energetic, fun and accessible CD as Amy. She was everywhere, personnaly taught the 60 minute Zumba class, put together and starred in a 70's dance party on the Royal Promendade, posed for pictures at all times and was full of energy and fun. I can see why she has the premier ship in the fleet, she is awesome. We are just off Oasis this past Saturday. Ricky Matthews was our CD on the Western Caribbean route. He was fantastic! Very funny and full of energy. He had great dance moves at the 70s party : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmorg1234 Posted April 8, 2013 #102 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Graham is in a class by himself. He was on the Freedom for the adult cruise last November; handled everything with aplomb. Wasn't sure how it was all going to work out since everything is so different on those cruises, but he truly went with the flow, made fun of himself, and handled the situation beautifully. Hope he is going to be there again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navigat8 Posted April 8, 2013 #104 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Shocked by the language from Graham in the ADULT comedy show where there were warnings from days before the show up to the point of the beginning of the show? Were the constant warnings not a big enough clue? Sorry don't mean to go off topic but it always amazes me when people don't heed warnings and then get upset by it. We are by no means narrow minded but the "c" word is strictly taboo as far as we and most people we know are concerned. The ADULT comedy how replaced our farewell show so that's why we went. Most of our shows were cancelled by the CD as the charter group were using the theatre. And no, we weren't informed prior to booking or at anytime before sailing.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjbyers Posted June 2, 2013 #105 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I've been spoiled with Graham and Richard As CD 4 times. Headed out again on Oasis in a week, is Amy still CD? I'll go with an open mind but there seem to more people who didn't like her then those who do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammy's Manager Posted June 2, 2013 #107 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi all Hope this finds you well Felt I needed to reply to this thread as it seems to be a little bit of confusion I am sorry that you were offended by the show that was not my intention yes I am not like other CD's and in truth never want to be. My adult show is very clearly marked in the cruise compass as "Strictly Adults Only" and is billed in bold letters ADULT RATED COMEDY It is also posted on the interactive way finders around the ship It is mentioned on the morning show and after both main shows the night of and after the love & marriage which was normally a day or so before I do not go out to offend anyone and pride my self on making it very clear days before that the show is coming and what it is As for "C" word I am sorry but you either mis heard because I would NEVER use that word in my late show and the reason I stand by that is none of my material warrants that word so there is no need for it and I wouldnt put it in period Hope that clears up any confusion Be Well Very Best Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great cruising with you on the Freedom! Loved your stand-up show and almost passed out from laughing at "Love and Marriage". You are truly great at what you do. Thanks for a great cruise and I hope to sail with you again! -Dave- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyG Posted June 3, 2013 #109 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Graham is a class act even using the f word. Must be his beautiful accent. Whoever said he used the C word, no way. He probably said "can't" which could be mistaken for it, again, due to his lovely accent. :) Hiya Graham! Miss ya on Princess and I haven't seen you since the CB 8 years ago! Can you believe it? I may have to go on an RC cruise (one more and I'm diamond) just to see you! :) At least I had Kelvin on my Alaska cruise last year, after all he is your protege so it was almost like seeing you. He's a fabulous CD just like you are! Hope you're well and happy and married life agrees with you! :) Be well yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galavant3 Posted June 3, 2013 #110 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The cruise director isn't really a big issue to us. We tend not to pay a whole lot of attention to them. However, I would agree with those that said Amy is their least favorite CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please say if you will still be CD then? I sure hope so as I've seen great reviews and would love to meet you! We've sailed Freedom before when Richard Spacey was CD and he was amazing!! Sailed Oasis in January and Amy was CD. She was very nice and fun as well, but I missed a man CD with an accent ;) Hope you will be there!!

ratfink Posted June 14, 2013 #112 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Don't let them get to you...you are by far the best CD we have cruised with. We always go as a group of several families and all agree you are the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillydog Posted June 15, 2013 #113 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Graham Seymour all the way for me too :D but Joff Eaton comes a very close second. happy to sail with either of them. As said in other posts a CD can make or break a cruise depending on their attitude. Would gladly recommend either of these two Brits. Oh and quite like Gordon Whatman too. Gordon was so funny! We had him as our CD on our cruise at the beginning of this year (2013). It's also looking like we'll get him again in December (if what I've heard is true - He's supposedly meant to be bringing Voyager over to Australia again from Asia, so will be CD for part of the Aussie season) PS: I notice you're from Worthing! I know Worthing very well!! (I'm orginally from West Sussex) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv cruises Posted July 12, 2013 #114 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I also just came off of Oasis of the Seas a week ago. I'm relatively new to cruising and have only been on 4, but Amy is by far the BEST CRUISE DIRECTOR EVER!! Very personable-full of energy-friendly-knowledgable....I loved her!. Amazed at how she remainded so throughout the entire cruise....Going again next year and I pray she is still there!!:):) Amy 2 smiles UP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv cruises Posted July 12, 2013 #115 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Oh YES!! I just returned last week as well.....Amy was the best Cruise Director in my 4 years of sailing!! YAAY AMY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted July 12, 2013 #116 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Interesting how different people see things so differently. For me, even having the discussion about "best cruise director ever", is kind of like having a debate about which ship has the best paper towels. I might encounter them may times on a trip, but I can't possibly make myself care. And to think that they would in any way affect my overall vacation experience is inconceivable.Couldn't have said it better. :cool:;):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly, all they do is annoy everyone before and after shows promoting things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
