Rare BillOh Posted December 8, 2021 #28 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Enchantment is on her way to Baltimore for her test cruise this weekend, I have a friend on board, I'll try to find out who is the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingJoe09 Posted December 8, 2021 #29 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Haven't checked in here for most of the year - I don't recognise some of the names on the list, guessing that COVID influenced quite a few CD's to move on so a bunch of AM's got promoted.

No offense to Dennis, but after having him as CD for the second time, most recently in April 2019 on Anthem, we're ready for someone new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monotone voice, hardly any enthusiasm and just boring. Dec 13 on Independence Ricky was the CD. It was his first cruise back. He was excellent! Full of energy. I’ve never even cared about who the CD was before. You have to go to the first night’s show! I didn’t get his last name, but he said he was from Jamaica.

SilkySal Posted December 31, 2021 #39 Share Posted December 31, 2021 On Oasis, it was OA_CruiseDirector@rccl.com, so I assume one should use the ship abbreviation and then the rest of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCCLNYMETS41 Posted January 30, 2022 #42 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Of the current cruise directors, I am curious who has been with royal the longest? Does anyone know? I only recognize about half of the current CDs on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know? I only recognize about half of the current CDs on the list. These are my guesses: Dennis Charles (who recently signed off Oasis) has been with RCCL for over 20 years, some of those were spent shoreside training new CDs. Jeff Arpin (recently signed off Harmony) has also been around over 20 years, but he too a long break somewhere in the middle and then returned to the CD line-up.
