They all look awful, very cheap and ill-fitting. The ladies' gray dresses are a bit better but not much. They should at least on gala nights allow then to wear their own clothes. On the Prinsendam earlier this year, the CD and the two assistant CDs were all female. They wore their own formal wear on Gala Nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We believe others should do the same. The women can accessorize but the men look ridiculous in those suits. The waiters look better than the Cruise Director LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on our recent Zaandam cruise in Alaska. He will continue on through the spring on their S.America sailings.. He was very proud of his 25 years with HAL.

We were so impressed with Michaela! She is mature beyond her years in interacting with guests. She expressed great interest in all of the people who showed up to play trivia -- spending time talking with all those who wanted to chat with her after the game was over. Hope she is made CD soon!

MisterBill99 Posted December 2, 2019 #58 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Looks like Ben Yates is now a Maserati salesman in Scranton, PA. https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjamin-j-yates-97499671/ Does anyone know who the CD is on Koningsdam? Or doesn't it matter anymore since all they do is trivia and introducing the acts at the theater (where there is a show)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off Koningsdam. She was OK as an MC and did a good job on the talks. However, I realized after the fact that she didn't actually write them, she was just presenting someone else's work (which I guess is why she didn't take any questions). I really liked the activity manager, Emily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I were invited for dinner at the Captain's Table for my 50th birthday several years ago and we enjoyed our time with them. We will be back on the Oosterdam in April/May 2020 for two weeks. I hope he is the Captain then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
