Elaine515 Posted November 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Just found out my CD for the Victory will be Brad Calabrese... Can someone tell me what you know about him, i.e, is he fun, exciting, all around the ship kind of CD or ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrothe8d Posted November 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2014 He is typical as humans go. Standard arms, legs, and all of the bits. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florid@Cruiser Posted November 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2014 We loved him but did take a few days to warm up to. When we were in Antigua we met he and his wife in the local pizza shop/watering hole and they sat down with us and chatted and then walked back to the ship with us. Really nice guy and I felt he was visible around the ship when we cruised with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTattoo Posted November 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2014 We've had Brad as a CD twice....and loved him. Very personable and very easy to approach. If you talk to him early in the cruise, he'll remember you the rest of the time you are on the ship. You are in luck to have him as your CD.

Michigan Cruisers Posted November 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) We had Brad as cd on the Freedom He was one of the better CDs we have had. Very nice guy. My wife packed her shoes in our luggage and on debarkation had no shoes. Brad found her a pair of shoes.

Sparky2 Posted November 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Brad was also our CD on the first leg of our B2B on Freedom in 2013. We liked him very much. Brad left for vacation for a couple of weeks so we had Hennie (?) for the 2nd leg. Didn't care for him nearly as much as Brad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chill6x6 Posted November 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2014 He's been with Carnival a long time. He was the cruise director aboard the Holiday in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Cruisers Posted November 22, 2014 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Was looking over recent list of CDs and brad is not on it. Wonder if he left carnival? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTattoo Posted November 22, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 22, 2014 He was promoted to corporate and fills in as CD when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine515 Posted November 22, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted November 22, 2014 He was promoted to corporate and fills in as CD when needed. That's interesting to read because he told us that he was leaving Carnival to wait for the birth of his first baby due in March... But, after having him as a CD, I have to personally say, he wasn't the best... His entertainment staff was definitely more involved around the ship, with the passengers, doing things, talking to us etc than he was. As a matter of fact, even at the Welcome Show, he came onto the stage and started talking and none of us even knew who he was because he didn't introduce himself :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTattoo Posted November 22, 2014 #12 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Elaine - You probably have more recent news than I do. When we last sailed in June, Brad told us he had been promoted to Director of Entertainment for Carnival which would allow him to be with his family more and he would serve as a fill-in Cruise Director when needed. Since then, he may have changed his mind and decided to leave Carnival altogether. I hope not, we always enjoyed him. Sorry to hear you didn't have a similar experience. Which ship did you sail with him and when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't terrible... just wasn't the best we've had... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
