ElvisandTracey Posted October 25, 2005 #76 Share Posted October 25, 2005 KEN RUSH He was the CD on the innagural Mariner sailing and I thought he was HORRIBLE....Very dry personality, FULL OF HIMSELF and just seemed cocky as all hell. The following times I was on the Mariner were much much better. Tim Wow!! I have heard his name come up often on these boards, this it the first negative comment I have heard-what did he do to yOu to leave this impression?? I want to know since he will be THE CD on my FOS sailing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following times I was on the Mariner were much much better. Tim That's good to hear. He is getting on the Navigator the same day that I leave on that ship. I understand that the CD coming off is one of the best out there. He recently left Princess and moved to RCI. Cannot think of his name at the moment.

AFT_LOVER Posted October 25, 2005 #80 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Graham Seymour! The best of the best next to Simon Wier, his dad & brother the soap star in the UK. That's good to hear. He is getting on the Navigator the same day that I leave on that ship. I understand that the CD coming off is one of the best out there. He recently left Princess and moved to RCI.

mo4040 Posted October 25, 2005 #81 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yes, the Freedom WILL have Fresh Water Pools. As will all the ships in RCCLs fleet. They are all being changed over as we speak. Some have already been changed over. I am on Freedom Oct. 1, 06. Just under a year now, and I can't contain myself. I was on the Mariner last week and I could swear I smelled cholrine when I walked by the pools. I could be wrong as I did not take a dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted October 26, 2005 Author #83 Share Posted October 26, 2005 We've had Ken Rush as a CD 3 times and we absolutely love him. Yes, he is definitely self-assured, but he really seems like he is in complete control, extremely knowledgeable, and has an excellent set of jokes to call upon when he needs them! I think these are the reasons why RCI seems to use him frequently to 'open' a ship's sailing. I also loved Jeffrey Arpin and Graham Seymour (2x) as CDs. I believe Jeff retired, though. The worst CD we've had on RCI was Angela Fraser. She seemed very, very nice but simply not funny at all. Since much of a Cruise Director's job is introducing acts and making speeches about upcoming events, I think it is very important to be funny!

Sea-shell Posted October 26, 2005 #84 Share Posted October 26, 2005 We have sailed twice with Ken Rush, and we're not all that impressed. I would assume he is considered the "best" CD in the fleet since he always takes out the new ships, but we have no idea why. He is a bit too full of himself and sarcastic for our taste. Glad he will be busy elsewhere for our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElvisandTracey Posted October 26, 2005 #85 Share Posted October 26, 2005 OK-so it sounds like when it comes to Ken Rush, you either love him or hate him-no middle ground-I have heard similar things about myself!! He must be doing something right if RCI trusts him to do all the big new sailings!! I love sarcasm, so I will probably take to him just fine, but I know many people who find sarcasm (mine and others) annoying and off-putting-maybe that's why some don't care for him. Guess I'll just wait until I met him in June on the FOS- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drives me crazy. Teletubies I just don't get. My sister has a 9 month old, so she can relate to you. No more of what you want...its all about the kids.

FitzLA Posted October 26, 2005 #95 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Underwater staterooms, so you can "sleep with the fishes." That would be a great idea. Staterooms under water so you could actually look out under the sea. I bet it would be a GREAT view. I know I would book one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it would be a GREAT view. I know I would book one of those. Not me-I've seen too many of those boat movies-never good to be too low down in the ship-(Titanic, Poseidon Adventure...) Besides, I don't think that a "catagory U" (U for Underwater) would have a very nice view from the balcony-worse than the metal structure blocking the afts.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted October 27, 2005 Author #100 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I just heard from my travel agent that the new brochures for the Freedom are out BUT, there are NO deck plans in them!
