A while back I recall someone hinting that they might find out soon but nothing materialised. ThanksHi Sulli, Since it's a fill-in CD as opposed to a regularly scheduled CD, that info might not become available until much closer to the end of Steve's current contract.

Sky616 Posted April 23, 2016 #1087 Share Posted April 23, 2016 By the way Donna....Dan Whitney did a super job on Adventure this past week - didn't know what to expect...but he brought a great deal of enthusiasm and comedy to the various activities. Totally agree with you. I was pleasantly surprised how good and funny he was. Saw his beautiful family who is living onboard with him at the C & A welcome back event. His daughter is so cute.

That's a mystery because Luke was the regular CD of that ship, but we just found out that he "moved" to the London corporate office. It remains to be seen if he'll be back, or if someone else will emerge as the new regular CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crosby99 Posted April 23, 2016 #1097 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Cuddy should have been a cruise director years ago. He is by far the best activities manager I have seen and better than most cruise directors Interesting my 2 favourite cruise directors Keiron Buffrey and Jerome both had him as activities manager. The man is absolutely hilarious and seems to be a nice guy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
