Rare Jamman54 Posted April 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2018 That's unexpected news to me. Just talked to her a few days ago on the Paradise. She was scheduled to go to the Vista. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBP1 Posted April 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 20, 2018 She was supposed to shadow Matt on out Vista cruise in July where she would have been until Lee took control in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted April 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Huge turnover of CD's on CCL. I know it is a young persons job but wonder why so much turnover. Used to have sailed with most of the CD's on their list these days hardly any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Geegitz Posted April 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Will miss Jamie. Loved her. A great cruise director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty dingo Posted April 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Perhaps it is a pay issue... the cruise lines are not known for generous pay by USA standards. Also, living on a cruise ship 24 x 7 for months at a time, and having to deal with passengers all day would get old really fast, I would think.

Rare BlerkOne Posted April 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I could have predicted. 10 years is the magic number with Carnival. A number of people leave once they hit 10 years and Jaime has always planned for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Until about two years ago did about 5 a year with Carnival and got to know a bunch of them. Now we do 1 or 2 and still in touch with several we got to know during our Carnival years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebucks Posted April 20, 2018 #12 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It's a fantastic opportunity that pays well, and probably creates quite the memories. I just don't see it as a job that you can do forever. It takes a significant investment of time and energy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One need just watch Matt for a week and wonder where all that energy comes from and how does he keep it all going.

Rare heffy2 Posted April 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I've been wanting to sail with her since she used to post on John Heald's blog 10 years ago. Oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nybumpkin Posted April 20, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 20, 2018 We sailed with Jaime twice, both on Pride. She is amazing, and I'm sorry she's leaving the on board life. But I get it - it's a hard life. Our PVP spent time on board ships until he decided he wanted a more regular schedule and time with his family.

Lottacruises Posted April 21, 2018 #20 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Life goes on. And perhaps the title should read "will no longer be", isn't she still there now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted April 21, 2018 #21 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I’d imagine it’s impossible to have much of a life, as far as relationships are concerned, unless you can find someone who is ok with you being away for long periods of time. Jamie is young and might want to settle down and have a family, and knows that won’t be possible as a CD. Or at least very hard.

MBP1 Posted April 21, 2018 #23 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The CD I am friends with makes 80k yearly I wonder if it is considered a foreign job by the IRS, if so a considerable amount if that wouldn't be taxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted April 21, 2018 #24 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The CD I am friends with makes 80k yearly Thats all? Would have thought substantially more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andie717 Posted April 21, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The CD I am friends with makes 80k yearly Considering they don't spend any of that on food/housing, that seems like a lot! I would take it!! :cool: But I don't think I could deal with all they do 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
