[Blue Eyed Belfast Belle]

It has been reported that Talita is the current CD on Grandeur. It doesnt give her last name but it looks like Talita who used to be AM and travels with her husband who is an officer. She is temendous fun!

I'm guessing Joff will hop on the Anthem for the January 13 cruise?

[Artmama75]

We recently returned from Serenade of the Seas. Jamie Fentiman was the CD and he's the funniest one that we've ever had. We will sail again on Serenade in 2024 for the Asian/Pacific portion 

 of the World Cruise.  I hope that Jamie Fentiman will still be the CD.

 

[toad455]

@DELTABLUEis there a confirmed sailing or date for when Joff Eaton is joining Anthem? Had him once on the Anthem and he's amazing. Would love it if he's on my Jan. 13 sailing.

[HolyShip!]

Does anyone know if Rob is still CD on Voyager? Seems a long contract if he's still there. 

[muppetsguy]

Mike S indicated that when he leaves Wonder January 22, Chris Brown will take over.

And as another poster mentioned, Mike said he’ll be the CD on the startup of Icon (he’ll join the ship around October to prep for the January launch). He also said Icon will have a Broadway show.

What a blessing to have Joff. I have friends on the Anthem Christmas cruise and they said Mario was terrible. I believe Joff was my CD on the 2019 Anthem cruise and he was wonderful.

That explains things.  We were on the Serenade last week and the Activities Manager (Jimena) ran all the shows and events.  Nobody told us why, unless we missed the announcement.  Hope Jamie is doing ok.

It was interesting that on boarding and disembarkation days, they played pre-recorded videos on TV with Jamie.  They must have been recorded Christmas week or before, as he was always mentioning that.  (In one, he was dressed in an Olaf costume)
