zippyjet Posted August 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Please and thank you. I keep hearing about a cruise director named Schwartz. I believe he may have been my cruise director on a truncated itinerary on the Vista. Thanks to Irma. If mymemory serves me he was OK during the 4 night cruise but on disembarkation day got snarky with his announcements. I was getting my last breakfast in when he said something like: "Time to leave the ship especially those taking advantage of a last meal.

We ended up eatingbreakfast in Sobe called the Front Porch Cafe. Very good but very overpriced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a half hour with him talking hospitality business. He's a very interesting guyu. He use to say "Let the Schwartz be with you" from Mel Brooks Space Balls and he told me he got a cease and desist order from the studio.

He doesn’t say that any more. Similar to his previous the Schwartz be with you saying, he was told not to say it any more. I heard that directly from him on Breeze. I have also spent a little time talking to his parents; great people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTLCruiseGal Posted August 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Schwartz is awesome! I believe that at some point in life, a lot of people have become overly sensitive and lost their sense of humor. He says this on every cruise that I have been on with him as CD, and he is not the only CD to say this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean1000 Posted August 2, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He will be our CD on our upcoming Breeze cruise. I am looking forward to seeing him. Not to get too far off topic, is Dr E still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garth2 Posted August 2, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Got to know Steven Schwartz very well on the Breeze. He is a wonderful human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted August 2, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Schwartz is my hubby's favorite CD. We talked with him several times on the Breeze. He is from Georgia, real southern charm, a little wacky at times like Dr E but not quite as over the top all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippyjet Posted August 3, 2019 Author #22 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thank you all for your replies. From what you are telling me, I hope to have him or John H. as CD. However, CD doesn't make or break my cruise. I chill and meet new friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amyj23 Posted August 13, 2019 #25 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just for the flip side... Not everyone loves Schwartz. Not because he's offensive, but because he's irritating and not as funny as he thinks he is. But I felt like people either loved him or hated him. The four people we traveled with were equally annoyed by him by the end of the cruise. We thought he was a bit of an attention-whore. But it seemed about split on loving and hating him (from all the people we chatted with on the cruise). So you may love him.... But hey, to each his own! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
