Rest in Peace former HAL cruise director Gene Moimoi Young
Very sad news for those who knew and/or sailed with former HAL cruise director Gene Young. It is reported that he passed away after taking his own life on February 14, 2023 in the Miami, FL area. Up until 2017, Gene had been the regular cruise director on HAL's annual grand world voyage onboard ms Amsterdam. Until his unfortunate death, he had been cruise director for MSC Cruises. Depression is a terrible thing and Gene was far too young to leave this world! May he Rest in Peace!

I was shocked to hear of his passing. He was our wonderful cruise director on at least 300 days of cruising, not only on the Amsterdam, but also 65 days on the Prinsendam in 2013. That is where we were introduced to his fiance. Also on World Cruises in 2014 and 2017. When I think of the perfect CD, I think of Gene. In fact, I can't remember the name of any cruise directors since he left HAL.
