I try to keep track of the CDs and AMs on my cruises. I almost always reach out and take pictures with them. The chart I'm posting here started with me wanting to remember the CDs I've met. Somehow it evolved to a chart of current CDs. Edited February 8, 2023 by RatedPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Researcher Posted February 8, 2023 #632 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Happy to have Joff on the Anthem in March. He and his activities director did a great job on the Independence back in 2014. It's not often I remember our cruise directors, but the good ones stand out.

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted February 10, 2023 #635 Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) One thing I've noticed with CDs recently is that the morning shows are now very basic. Pre COVID, the shows would usually last 15/20 mins, the AM would be on with them, a bit of banter, guests could get shoutouts. Now it's the CD alone doing a basic rundown of events (plus advice for getting off in port) and that's all. The show lasts just over 5 mins. I wonder why that's happened.

On the Visions, they're still doing the usual stuff. Cruise director gives a overview of the day. AM goes through main events and activities on the planner. Department heads present their offerings - Shore Excursions, Onboard Shops, Port Shopping, Spa, Art Auctions, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...and the particularly bad, of which there is one in that photo in post #630) Dan Jeff is just one of two CDs I remember, which is why I was so happy to have him again on my recent Anthem cruise. It seems so easy for a CD to just do a routine job. Jeff is also very personable to talk to. Can't say the same about other CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
