Meet Richard Spacey............... Richard Spacey as Borat Richard Spacey - Evolution of Dance Many of the cruise directors I've sailed with have faded into the ether of time, but Richard Spacey is seared into my memory as the most cringeworthy. We had him as cruise director on the Celebrity Equinox and he was attractive and inoffensive and performative in the most CD way possible (British, really into socks), with one off-putting exception. Richard ended every *single* onboard announcement by whispering "oh, and one more thing... I love you" into the PA system in a creepy little kid voice. You'd be at the pool, and he pops up with the afternoon announcements like "We've got bingo, and karaoke, and archery, so go out and have a great day... oh, and one more thing... I WUV U!!" The first time it happened we thought we misheard him, only later realizing it was some sort of schtick. We also thought we were the only people who thought it was weird until it came up chatting with strangers at the bar. The whole thing was so oddly unprofessional, it has completely altered the curve on "bad" cruise directors for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingJoe09 Posted June 5, 2021 #1932 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Some CD's have headed out to ships now. From what I have seen: Hugo Arenas on Adventure Joff Eaton on Anthem John Blair on Serenade Brian Leavitt on Symphony Mitch Merucci on Quantum Marc Walker is also on a ship (possibly Allure?).

radarcruiser Posted June 6, 2021 #1936 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Loved Joff Eaton on the Ovation in NZ. He was a real hit with the Aussies. He can work the crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on this last cruise on Majesty, would welcome him as CD on any future cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELTABLUE Posted July 7, 2021 #1950 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I met Cory when he came aboard Grandeur to shadow John Blair. I thought he was very nice and personable, which are positive traits for a good CD. Would love to cruise with him again some day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
