CintiPam Posted September 12, 2014 #26 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I haven't seen anything posted about this person. He is shown in our cruise booklet as the cruise director on our Insignia cruise on Nov 11th. Has anyone ever met or sailed with him? CJ I am certain that someone has but not me! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted September 12, 2014 #29 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think JR was assist CD on one of our cruise but we do not really have any interaction with most CD's DH did have some chats with Leslie Jon which worked out well for an extra show by 2 performers Like some people have an interest in the CD I could care less YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathi Posted September 13, 2014 #33 Share Posted September 13, 2014 So who will be on for the world cruise??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailfar Posted September 14, 2014 #34 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If anyone has sailed with him, they're being very quiet about it lol. JR is great. Have sailed with him twice, as CD and assistant CD. He is a talented singer and a very friendly guy. What more could you expect from someone who lived in New Berlin, WI. Thank you, JR for two great experiences. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAG Posted September 14, 2014 #35 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So who will be on for the world cruise??????? According to a post by ORV back in August, he/she said it would be Andy Heath, a fairly new CD for Oceania. Of course, as we all know, anything can change and this was not an official announcement by Oceania. Cenia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joan24 Posted September 14, 2014 #37 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Does anyone know who the CD will be on the Nov. 29 sailing on Riviera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep Posted September 17, 2014 #38 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Big News and MAJOR SHIFT over at Oceania-Leslie Jon will now be your Cruise Director on the Insignia, in place of the inimitable Mr. Lustig. He's boarding her in Southampton for the 10/2 Transatlantic and will be on through early in the New Year. Leslie John is our CD on our cruise departing 20th September.

karska Posted September 27, 2014 #39 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We just got off Insignia, Sept 6-20 and JR Lustig was listed as cruise director. Never saw him, totally invisible. Then a few days later a new cruise director was on board for remainder of cruise. Can't remember his name. He was visible though. Don't know what happened.

Thanks for letting us know. We've been told it will be Leslie Jon by others on the Board. Aside from the CD, how was your cruise on Insignia?

Travelcat2 Posted September 27, 2014 #41 Share Posted September 27, 2014 JR was the Cruise Director on our 30 night Regent cruise in June/July of this year. He is very talented - a great entertainer. Rumor had it that he preferred working in the area of entertainment and that he would be directing shows for both Oceania and Regent rather than being a C.D. JR is very low key - easy to talk to but not quite as energetic out outgoing as most C.D.'s. It would not surprise me if he is fills in as C.D. when needed but continues to work in other areas. It seems that both Oceania and Regent are a bit short on Cruise Directors. In terms of having been a C.D. on Regent previously, I suppose it is possible but we have not heard of him prior to this year. I recommend seeing his shows -- they are great!

xrvlcruiser Posted September 27, 2014 #42 Share Posted September 27, 2014 JR was the CD on a recent Regent cruise . . . he was out and around a great deal. He's was very accessible. He's a nice man and good at his job. And he has an outstanding singing voice! Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Saw' JR...he was with a team of 12 crew, he was supervising the move of a piano:) The replacement CD was Nolan Dean Edited September 28, 2014 by turnip eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogfam Posted September 28, 2014 #45 Share Posted September 28, 2014 We had Leslie as our cruise director on the Marina this past winter and he was excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep Posted September 28, 2014 #46 Share Posted September 28, 2014 We are on Insignia at the moment. Even though the cruise documentation said it would be Leslie Jon it is not. It is Nolan Dean who is ok. The cruise is brilliant though and we are having a super time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokapontas Posted October 1, 2014 #47 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Leslie Jon is tops. He was our CD in July. Warm, humorous, very light. Good taste in coffee as well - for a while my husband and I and Leslie and his assistant were the only ones in Barristas for our morning coffee. He seemed to be up early and late to bed, always in the lounge or disco after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
