I enjoyed watching the youtube video. Thanks Joe.

 

Further proves my theory that the English make the best CD's & AM's, unlike the side of the island I live on. Grant Martin seems to be a great AM (probably one of the best in the fleet), but there isn't any good Scottish CD's, unless Susan Adams happens to be good.

Anyone sailed with Jerry as AM?

He was AM on the sailing when this Sailaway Party was recorded. I'd like to think that he knew better than this. World's largest cruise ship and only 2 staff running it - one of whom was going through the motions (my guess is that working under BB drains the life out of the staff, as that member of staff was great 3 months earlier) and the other who had just returned after vacation.

 

If this is what the Bobby and Jerry team have to offer, I am glad that I am skipping the Symphony TA.

I thought she was still on Ovation. Where did you hear that? I suppose that they needed a Chinese AM for the Asian season though.

On her fb she was on the Bahama's and Jimmy Rhodes tags her.

Excited to sail with Margot as AM on Symphony this summer - will make sure to provide feedback when I return. Hopefully can also figure out who will replace her in August.

Amy Tripp is currently on Liberty. She may just be filling in for a few weeks and Alex Green may take over as planned at the end of the month.

 

The current AM on Allure is Elizabeth Hackett, per the April 22nd compass. Indy was in Southampton yesterday so Mark possibly switched from NV to IN yesterday meaning that there wasn't any AM there for drydock and the crossing.

Not only are Chris and Marvin a good team - I give a great rating to everyone on Adventure. Happy and friendly staff is usually from top - meaning Hotel Director.

Could not agree more! Hotel Director Bill Downey has been all over the ship and makes it very obvious how much he loves his job. That enthusiasm filters down to everyone.

CD staff is the best we have seen. Especially Fernanda from Mexico. She is an entertainment machine and one of the nicest people you can ever meet.

Just came off Explorer and can confirm she is excellent - great fun, high energy and very personable. A definite CD in the making.:)

Happy to hear that! 3 great attributes for an AM to have. Looking forward to her as AM and Michele Scarpato as CD. Both are new to us. Just keeping fingers crossed that they are on for both legs of our B2B and that nothing changes last minute - Anthem got changed from Abe & Chris to John & Katrina 2 weeks pre-cruise :(.
