How is Mitch Merucci,?  Hopefully has good energy!  I dont think I have ever sailed with him ...will be sailing soon! 

 

I sailed with Mitch on Allure back in Oct 2028 and he was great fun.  Very visable around the ship and he and his AM Flavio were hilarious on the Morning Show.  I follow him on social media and he seem very personable

Just heard that Carly Boileau has finally returned, first time since Feb 2020, and is on Vision of the Seas!

Anyone know where Bobby Brown or Hugo Arenas are?

Didnt know that. Saiked with him three times on Transatlantics. Last being Odyssey pre covid. He was a great CD.

We were on Liberty departing 2/27, and the CD was Paul Rutter.

Oh fabulous!  We are on Vision in June and Carly B was tremendous fun on Serenade in 2015 🙂

Isn't it? I'm on Vision this time next month and cannot wait. Carly B was the CD on my first ever cruise - Jewel in Feb 2020, and was just outstanding!

We were on the Symphony in 03/05-03/13 and the Cruise Director was Dennis Sciortino. 
 

We personally were not impressed with him. We saw him several times on the ship going into shows and he never interacted with any of the guests that we saw. 
 

it could have just been when we saw him!

Bobby Brown was actually on Wonder last week - Mike said he was functioning in an “auxiliary capacity” as the behind the scenes guy and that they always have two CDs on the first takeout of a new ship - actually saw him wandering around the ship quite a bit and had to do a double take the first few times I saw him.

thanks for the info

Saw in a crew youtube video that Bonnie Bai was on Spectrum as of the end of January. No idea when she signed on or how long she's there. Pre-pandemic, she was an activities manager, so also not sure if she was promoted or just filling in. Not sure we'll know for sure until mid-April when Spectrum resumes passenger sailings.

[wolfcathorse]

we were on Navigator March 4 through March 11. The Behind the Name Tag sheet said the CD was Bill Brunkhorst but we had a girl from Peru named Mey. Don't know if Bill was in quarantine or sick, I didn't think to ask Mey.

I miss Cuddy. Was very visible at the Cruise Critic meet and greet and all around the ship. Sat with us for around 30 minutes outside the English pub on Freedom. Hate to call anyone out personally, but two times out of Tampa with a guy mentioned here in previous comments is really bad. Very plastic and just goes thru the motions. Last name close to bratwurst.

Ricky from Jamaica is probably Ricky Matthews. Very full of energy!

I believe he started with NCL. He was great on Norwegian Majesty in 2003! Last cruise I took with NCL due to traditional dining being eliminated.

is Dan Whitney on Ovation or Harmony?  Want to know we have a fun CD, we had Mitch on Anthem in 2019 - he was fab.  Had Joff on Anthem in UK in 2021 and he was never around 

[DELTABLUE]

Good question!  The lower post numbers are newer info but can we please get a clarification from a recent cruiser?

May is now the cruise director in the Navigator. Bill is off the ship

We were just off Navigator two days ago.  Mey is very high-energy, but not obnoxiously so, IMHO.  She also takes the time to say a brief hello to people when she is out and about on the ship.  Her intros for the various acts in the theater were fairly brief, which we appreciated.

Just off Anthem. Cecelia (CiCi) handl ed all the hosting activities. But this morning they looped a pre recording of Joff explaining debarkation procedures.

[DELTABLUE]

Thanx for the new info!

Can we find a last name for Mey on Navigator, clarify who is CD on Anthem (Joff or CiCi  ...need her last name) and who is coming aboard Brilliance?

 

Also, any ideas on why I am not getting notices of new posts to this thread???
