Paulette3028 Posted May 25, 2017 Author #852 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Daniel Dornas posted on 5/25/17 that he was traveling from to Barcelona. I have been unable to get any confirmation that he joined Rhapsody a few months ago.....so it seems that Daniel may be joining Briliance in Barcelona. I have sent Daniel a private message, but hope to hear from a cruiser directly. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saw777 Posted June 4, 2017 #860 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi, I was on Rhapsody of the Seas from 27th May until 3rd June. Daniel Dornas was the Activity Manager. He just joined the ship on 27th May. Was good, and he seemed to love to do the zumba classes. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingo3 Posted June 6, 2017 #861 Share Posted June 6, 2017 My guess is the responsibilities of the Cruise Directors have changed over time, and especially on the larger ships. I suspect they have more of a management role now and people under them to run the programs. With all the activities, shows, etc. taking palace on these ships, there is no way the cruise director can manage them and be present to direct them. Just making sure everything is taking place on time, etc. would be a chore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMBFlyer Posted June 6, 2017 #863 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Chris Hopkins?Surprised if it was him, as he has been assigned to Anthem for a while and prior to that, Oasis, so would be a bit of a step down to go to Vision. Good for him. He needs a little humbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyraven Posted June 6, 2017 #864 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Anyone know if Andre Miller will be coming back? I know he's a new Dad so I'm sure the new arrival is a factor if he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMBFlyer Posted June 6, 2017 #865 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Please share why you feel that way. I thought he did a good job.Unless one requests a smaller ship, if the person is a senior AM or CD, they should have some say in where they are assigned. I found him to be the most arrogant, petty and condescending cruise staff member I've ever encountered. He upset us with his practices so bad one night, it warranted a personal phone call from Dru Pavlov the next day. In my opinion, he should never be promoted to Cruise Director and I never want to sail with him again. I said so much in my survey and asked that my feelings be directed up to Ken Rush and Nick Weir.

EMBFlyer Posted June 6, 2017 #866 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Sorry to hear of your experience. I am guessing this was out of the public eye or a one on one interaction. Did Dru give you a phone call the following day? No, this was very much in the public eye. It was during the Name That Tune game show where I watched him deliberately pass over me to call upon the "frat house" "pretty boy" type guests, after he had said no yelling or screaming out for attention (which is what these guys were doing). It was extremely obvious to everyone what he was doing. It upset me so much, that I just left the theater and didn't attend the activity. The Diamond concierge saw that I was upset, asked my wife what was wrong and reported it to Dru. Dru called and apologized the next day and said Chris would be spoken to. Also, every single morning show, all he talked about was how he should be promoted to Cruise Director and how much he deserved it. He was far too over-the-top and too "in your face". He'd be much more at home on Carnival. As I said, I've never been so upset at how I was treated by a cruise line employee in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMBFlyer Posted June 6, 2017 #867 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well, regardless if I had a better experience with him, that experience you had was unacceptable. As Dru handled it (hopefully), you shouldn't have to forward it to Ken and Nick in Miami. As for the CD thing, he might have just been joking as Brits do have a different sense of humour than Americans, but it is a bit arrogant. I can understand why he wants the promotion, having been AM for 4 years and being on their 3rd newest ship, but not very professional to say that in a show broadcast to customers. It needed to be stated to the higher ups. And I only mentioned it in my survey because of him in general. Dru was extremely visible all over the ship. He was friendly and perosnalable. He was how all Cruise Directors should act. Chris, however, was rarely seen in public and when he was, he was so distant from the guests it was not even funny.

DonnaK Posted June 9, 2017 #869 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I found him to be the most arrogant, petty and condescending cruise staff member I've ever encountered. He upset us with his practices so bad one night, it warranted a personal phone call from Dru Pavlov the next day. In my opinion, he should never be promoted to Cruise Director and I never want to sail with him again. I said so much in my survey and asked that my feelings be directed up to Ken Rush and Nick Weir. It needed to be stated to the higher ups. And I only mentioned it in my survey because of him in general. Dru was extremely visible all over the ship. He was friendly and perosnalable. He was how all Cruise Directors should act. Chris, however, was rarely seen in public and when he was, he was so distant from the guests it was not even funny. I just wanted to say that your assessment of Chris matches my experience with him. I agree that he is not CD material, as he is self-serving and not passenger-centered. I have a lot of respect for Dru after several cruises with him. I'm glad he made an effort to set things right with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolphingirl47 Posted June 11, 2017 #873 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Do you have any Activities Managers that you have sailed with that you feel could be the next one to become CD? We had Joe Chambers on the Explorer last month on the Transpacific and he was amazing. He was personable with a great sense of humour. I can imagine him as a cruise director.
