CecilCtyCruiser Posted March 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 29, 2013 A few years ago Wee Jimmy was our cruise director on the Freedom, and we'd love to sail with him again. Only thing is we don't remember his full name, so we can't check the CD schedule to see if he's still with Carnival. Can anyone tell us his last name?

CENTEX CRUISER Posted March 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2013 We had him, I believe on the Conquest. Have not seen him since ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanDeeDee Posted March 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am not sure of his last name, but he was the cruise director on the Sensation in October of 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviance Posted March 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Wee Jimmy's name on the cruise director schedule is Ralph Valente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgymn Posted March 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ralph Valente... and according to the schedule on John Heald's blog, he is back on the Sensation at the end of April and is scheduled there all year except for a time in Nov/Dec. He was the assistant CD (or whatever it's called) on my first (and last) cruise in 2004 and I still remember him! He was a blast :) ~Katy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted March 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted March 29, 2013 We have had him twice now as a cruise director. One the Legend and again on the Sensation in December. He is a riot and by far the best cruise director we have come across on a Carnival ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyanne Posted September 20, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Back on the Triumph in 2004 we had John Heald as our CD and Wee Jimmy as an assistant. They were a riot together! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debee1015 Posted September 20, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 20, 2013 "Wee" had him on the Legend in 2011 he was awesome. As the week progressed on the fun times the "wee" in "Wee Jimmy" kept being printed in a smaller Font: Sunday: "Wee Jimmy" Monday: "Wee Jimmy" Tuesday: "Wee Jimmy" Wednesday: "Wee Jimmy" Until our last day when it looked like this ___________ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiagolfer Posted September 21, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Had him as Assistant CD on either Glory or Liberty I think, can't remember. Does he still wear his Kilts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HO HO Posted October 14, 2013 #19 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Had him as Assistant CD on either Glory or Liberty I think, can't remember. Does he still wear his Kilts? Although not seen in the photo, he indeed was wearing a kilt. He is an amazing character, and really is a huge part of the fun on the cruises he's the CD. The fact that he's only about 5'1" contributes to his nick name as well... Edited October 14, 2013 by HO HO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pianogal83 Posted October 14, 2013 #23 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We LOVE wee Jimmy!! We don't usually take many shorter cruises but may need to take one on Sensation just to enjoy him again. The best CD ever IMHO!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommom of 7 Posted October 14, 2013 #24 Share Posted October 14, 2013 He was on the SENSATION for our B2B2B2B in Sept. He really is a over the top nice guy. He & his wife live in my home town, LORAIN OHIO. When I told him I was born at St. Joseph's hospital in Lorain he had to give me a hug. Spent a lot of time with him. His wife was joining him the week after we left. Then they were off on a holiday. Char Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
