Carnival Splendor cruise director

[esper10]

Who is the cruise director for Carnival  Splendor in June 2019 and is he a good one? Does he gate engage with many of the activities and the entertainment. We cruised with NoNo and she Wes the best we ever had and we cruise many times

In December the cruise director was Lee and he was great and very involved with activities and guests.

Here's the link to the current schedule:

Lee Mason. He's great!

 

He's doing a vlog on YT as well. Search for him there to learn more about the ports and the ship, as well as nice things to know.

We are going to have Monroe Moore any one knows how is he? Cruise director can definitely make a big impact on the cruise

Not seeing anyone on Airtable for Splendor or Fantasy. Anybody know who will be on Fantasy after Kevin leaves?

Lee Mason confirmed to me on Facebook last week that he will be CD In June. I’ve never cruised with him but he seems fun!

It's Lee.

I think the Lee is the best of the current Carnival CD's.  He's quite engaging and appeals to a wide demographic.  Unlike many other CD's, he's not full of himself.

 

We had him on a 14 day Hawaii Journeys cruise last year and had multiple occasions to interact with him.  I'm sure that he had a busy schedule, but always took time to have meaningful conversations with us.

 

He's very quick witted.  Make sure that you go to all of his morning shows.

 

We showed our appreciation for him by making a significant contribution to St. Jude while on board.

Monroe is the Entertainment Director,  not the Cruise Director. Lee Mason is the CD.

This is what Carnival told me on Facebook. So is going to be. The reason I asked is that in the past that ship didn’t have very much entertainment and not every night they had a show. The 4 nights cruise with the Imagination and the inspiration are very high energy. We want to do 7 nights but it depends if the ship will have nightly shows, music...the cruise director contribute a lot if they great

What did Carnival tell you on Facebook? I was on the Splendor 3 weeks ago and hung out a bit with both Monroe and Lee. Both are amazing guys. 

 

Not to worry, Lee Mason is probably the best Cruise Director I have ever sailed with, so no worries there. Assuming, of course, that you are sailing in the next 5 months or so. He just started his new contract on March 30th, so he should be the CD through the summer.

 

I’ve never sailed on the Splendor when there wasn’t something going on every night. Is there a Playlist Production show every night? Of course not. But there is a show every night in the show theater. The first night is the welcome aboard show, the last night is the finals on Lip Sync Battle (which is a lot of fun), and somewhere in the middle is the Battle of the Sexes show Love and Marriage show. Plus there is a lot of other stuff going on around the ship... such as: a rock band playing in the atrium, sail away parties, ballon drop and party on the last night, comedians in the comedy club, piano bar music and comedy, a nightclub, dive in movies, singers on the Promenade, and 2 crazy fun deck parties. All of this in addition to 4 different Playlist Productions. Not sure when you were on the Splendor when they, “...didn’t have very much entertainment”, but they’ve always had more than I could possibly enjoy. I’m not sure I’ve been on a ship where I had more fun than on the Splendor. Pretty sure you’ll have a blast.

Thank you Bob 😊it’s been a while since I took that ship. I will sign up next week. We will be going in June and celebrating a birthday now I look forward and don’t need to choose 7 nights or 4 night. By the way the Panorama is coming to Long Beach at the end of this year we look forward for it

We are excited about it as well. We are booked on the inaugural 3 day, and the 7 day after it.

We sailed with Lee as cruise director and Monroe as entertainment director. They make an excellent team. We sailed with No No also and she is great. I believe you will be happy with Lee.

Well, we are booked on the Splendor. We will be Platinum. Do you happen to know what to expect as far as Benefits, party....thanks

Yes. The party will be Friday (assuming you are doing the Saturday to Saturday Mexican riviera) from 5 to 5:45. Free drinks and appetizers. A few games of guess the epaulet, guess the ship, and guess the number of jellybeans in the jar. Lee will host the party and some, if not all, of the senior staff will be there.

 

The Platinum gift on our cruise were the Tervis cups, but I hear that the new lanyard is hitting the ships 🤢.  

 

For your tendering in Cabo, you need only show up at the Black Pearl dining room with all your party and they will escort you down to the tender.

 

In Long Beach, they don’t distinguish between Platinum and Diamond. Both groups are in the same waiting room, and when boarding starts, they just have all of them go at once.

 

All the other benefits remain.

My husband and I were on the Splendor last November and Lee was there.  We thought he was great.  Heck a funny and we both couldn't believe how he was in one place and the next minute he would be in a new place.  Watching him dance on the bar in the atrium was pretty funny.  He has some good dance moves!!
