Who will be CD on cruise

[wally_bushy]

How do you find out the CD on upcoming cruises?

Are they planned well ahead or assigned at short notice?

I understand last minute changes can occur.

Usually posted in your Cruise Planner but subject to change

You can call a few months before your cruise and inquire. They usually have the schedules in place around 4 months out but everything is subject to change

1. Does it really matter that much? I know that some are better at Trivia than others, but does that have a great impact on you?

 

2. On our last cruise, our CD was reassigned off our ship to another in just a couple of days notice. Something had happened elsewhere in the system and O had to reshuffle the deck somewhat. On our cruise before our last, our CD got pulled of the ship and sent to corporate far before his scheduled rotation time. So I'd say "Don't expect anyone until you show up on the boat".

I have to say I am intrigued by your handle Pinotlover. As one myself, hope we meet up on a cruise some day.

No it doesn't, it was just a question:confused:

Other cruise lines provide a spreadsheet to CC with their ships and Capt, CD, etc. Hope Oceania will do this.

It is listed in your cruise planner that you receive 4-8 wks from the cruise sailing date ...are you actually sailing on Oceania ?

Hi!

We received our Cruise Planner for our Jan. 23rd Riviera cruise and it no longer lists any of the staff who will be onboard. I bet Oceania stopped listing the names because of changes that had to be made.

I would suggest calling Oceania a few weeks before the cruise to see which officers will be onboard.

wow! Wonder when this started? The Captain, CD, GM, etc were listed in our "blue book" of our November 18th sailing.

 

I thought it was a nice touch. too bad.

If it's on Marina you will probably have Ray Carr as CD as he just boarded in Cape Town. I don't usually have much to do with CDs but ai can however recognise them, but this guy has no presence and we didn't see him for a fortnight....I honestly couldn't have picked him out in an ID parade.

It will come to you shortly. Also called the "blue book" as it is blue.

 

I thought it was a very nice touch by O.

If you are in a suite it may not be blue but it has your luggage labels & other information in it for the cruise

I would ask your TA about it I would think suites get theirs about 8 wks out

Someone will correct me if wrong
