CruisingGatorGirl Posted February 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2013 When we were on the Solstice last summer it was Esperanza- not sure how often they change. We loved her! I got to talk with her several times :) We took this picture right after my parents won a piece at the Hot Glass Show auction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandgeezer Posted February 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2013 We got off the Constellation the middle of December, and Esperanza was just getting on. Esperanza was the cruise director on the Solstice when we were on it in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painter Posted February 21, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Few names have been suggested like Ian Cresswell and Esperanza. No one has come forward for sure...I'm still in with a chance Mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandgeezer Posted February 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 21, 2013 As my previous post stated, Esperanza is on the Constellation, starting December 15, 2012. I would bet she is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 21, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 21, 2013 As my previous post stated, Esperanza is on the Constellation, starting December 15, 2012. I would bet she is still there. Interestingly, Esperanza has already left Constellation. I was surprised, as she was not onboard very long. She was onboard Connie a few weeks ago, but another CC member reported that Damian De Lorenzis is the current CD. Perhaps she's on vacation now, or was moved to another ship.

Cruiser Nonna Posted February 22, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just got off Solstice (2/15/13) and it was Ian - and I know that he was on for the next sailing - however - not sure after that - there were several key people in many different departments that were going off in March and April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Kev Posted February 22, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Paul Bayer was Solstice CD on the repo from Barcelona Oct/Nov/Dec. Esperanza last known to be on Silhouette . Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysee Posted February 22, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 22, 2013 We were not too impressed with Esperanza on our Spring 2012 Solstice TA. She has an extremely grating voice and yells too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted February 22, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Why does it matter who the CD is? Some are good,some are bad but it doesn't affect our cruise. Not being nasty,just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacintaH Posted February 22, 2013 #17 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Why does it matter who the CD is? Some are good,some are bad but it doesn't affect our cruise. Not being nasty,just curious. I also query why people like to ask that sort of question. Ian Cresswell was the CD on Solstice for our trip in Dec/Jan but as Solstice is such a large ship there are few opportunities to cross paths with any particular person let alone a busy staff member.

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 22, 2013 #18 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I beg to differ. A good CD can make a good cruise better. They pick up the general vibe of the ship and tailor their program to suit.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe it's because I want to have the same enjoyment I had when I cruised the Sapphire Princess some years back and Alistair Greener was our fabulous cruise director with Frankie his fall guy. Cruises I have done since then without these two on board just didn't generate that same happy faces of every passenger on board. I hope one day you will experience this for yourself. It's magic!

chessbriar Posted February 23, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ian should be on until March/April. They like have the Aussie running the Aussie cruises. Stewart Turnbull is on the Silhouette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're fortunate enough to be on a cruise with a Richard Spacey(RC-Explorer right now, or a John Heald(Carnival), you'd see what they can and do add to the cruise experience. Some people choose the ships with these guys as CDs just because of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggie.1008 Posted February 23, 2013 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Even though we don`t go on Carnival anymore John Heald was the best CD we have had in 38 cruises. X has no one like him. We cruise on the Solstice out of Honolulu on April 25 and I would lone to know who officers and CC hostess is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't gone on a Carnival recently, but there's nothing wrong with its newer ships that do the Med and Europe. John Heald is usually on the newest ship.
