Who is your favorite cruise director past or present?

[Warm Breezes]

3 way tie....and quite frankly I can't remember the rest. John Heald on our first Carnival Freedom cruise. Emma on our Sunshine cruise. And Mikey on our Fantasy cruise.

[Sea Raven]

I don't really have a preference, but a man named George (pronounced Hor-hey) Something-or-Other, on the Triumph several years ago, was funny and funny in an original way. He is really the only one who has made an impression on me.

 

I'm sure that you are referring to Jorge Solano. Had him as CD on the Glory once. He is very personable and very funny. He shows up periodically in the comedy clubs onboard now. Watch for him there.

[Towel Critter]

oops.

Yep, I think that is him. He is the only CD that has made me genuinely lol. He is a true comic, as opposed to someone just spouting lines. He was great with spur of the moment stuff.

1. Karl with a K. The week I sailed with him he was sick but every time you turned around there he was. He was great and energetic.

 

 

 

2. John Heald. Had him on the Dream, the first year Dream sailed. Just a funny guy and really was personable with everyone

 

 

 

3. Matt Mitchum. Just a fun CD.

 

 

 

I agree with you about Karl with a K. Those who got the opportunity to sail with him will tell you that he was unique. I don’t know how he was at every single event all the time.

I must be one of those rare cruisers who doesn't pay attention to the CD or who he/she is. I do my thing, they do theirs. I just wish they would stay off the intercomm.

With that said, we had a guy that appeared to be real popular on a cruise. He wore a kilt.

Then we had a CD that looked just like Jim on American Pie. He danced funny on the atrium bar one night.

The rest are just background noise.

We loved Mike Pack!!!!! My next cruise has Lee Mason--- anyone ever heard of him? He looks young and new.

 

Lee is amazing. I had him on the Miracle last November. Loved Greg Kneale. From a long time ago and I think he was only the assistant cruise director Malcolm Kennedy.

My new favorite is Lee Mason. He was on my 15day Hawaii last October. My other favorite is Malcolm. Loved having John Heald and Wee Jimmy as cruise directors too. There has been one or two others I've liked, but these four are the top of my list.

[The4Cruisers]

Cory Rodgers was the best CD we've cruised with. Kevin (Elation??? or Ecstasy???) was the runner up.

 

Dr. E was great the first time we were on Magic. Got old after the second trip.

 

Absolute worst? Donkey. Should not have quit his day job (whatever that was!).

[CarnivalCruiser112]

Dr. E

[Edhoff]

Dr E on the Pride

[Trueblueky]

We loved her too. So much fun, always out and about mingling, and very genuine.

Emma is the best.

[WaterBaby80]

Emma!!! (May 2018) we were her last passengers on Vista before she went to Texas. Emma was friendly, interactive, and she wasn't always on the loudspeaker.

Didn't Emma just win CD of the year or some award similar to that?

[JandPB]

We have never had a cruise director who made substantial positive impact on a cruise until our Sensation cruise a week and a half ago. Kevin Donohue was fantastic. I would highly recommend taking a cruise that Kevin is a part of. We have sailed with Felipe twice, a few I can’t remember, and the worst of all time to us was Goose.

Lol!! Goose ive never even heard of him. How long ago was that? He must have been pretty bad to never be brought up

[bjstenman]

We did not care for Matt Mitchum. We think Lee is the best CD we have ever had on any cruise line.

Malcom burn. Butch, dr. E,

[tmg698]

It was Wee Jimmy but now it is Mikey on the Sunshine he is great. Hopefully he will still be on the Sunshine in April 2019.

[InitialD]

I've been on 9 cruises and honestly none of them stand out to me. I hear the announcements but that's about it. Never had any issues with any either as they've all been fine. There was one that was Scottish? And one that was Australian?

[mouche]

Dr E, the only one who's been able to hold my attention.:D

[sept2405]

Kevin and Schwartz!

[Kermarkim]

Can't choose favorite so here are my top three in no specific order. Wee Jimmy, Dr E and donkey Salazar

[wxguyinms]

Jamie Dee and Big Tex are, without a doubt, at the top of my list. Brandon Kovshoff ranks pretty high as well.

 

Least favorite, hands down, is Steve Knisley.

[Joebucks]

I was on the Sensation last week with BK. He was my favorite yet!
