Tanya said at the Meet and Mingle for the 11/17 cruise that Dru left indefinitely on emergency leave. He left when the ship docked in Bayonne for the 11/17 cruise. The compass referenced him until around day 3 when they got stuff updated. I think everything else is speculation at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not still the activities director? I'm very sorry to hear about Dru. We got to sail with him twice - and I really liked him. Dennis I don't like as much (felt he was a little bit too full of himself and heard him talking down to his staff, which I really didn't like) but that's ok. it won't make or break a cruise for us. Felt the exact same way about Dennis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamia65 Posted November 29, 2018 #432 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Does anyone have any information about who the CD could be for the new ship … Spectrum? Who has done the takeouts on Harmony and Symphony? Or could it be someone who is more familiar with Quantum class ships? Are there any CDs working in HQ who could be the takeout CD?

Ken Rush did Harmony then went to Miami HQ. Bobby Brown was for Symphony. He doesn't have Quantum Class experience but if he leaves SY in March, it is possible. I thought it would be Dru, but I guess not. I do know of a CD who will be assigned to Spectrum at some point, but no idea if they are the takeout CD.

Spectrum's first sailings are in April, so I wouldn't count on that. To answer your question, it varies, but CD's tend to join the ship around 6-10 weeks before sailing. On Symphony, there were 2 Cruise Directors. I believe Bobby arrived end of January/early February and Michele came mid March with the first sailing being March 31st.

CruisingJoe09 Posted November 29, 2018 #443 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I heard a rumour that Gordon Whatman will be there, but when it was QN and OV, he took over after the repositioning and he isn't a full time CD so probably won't do the takeout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
