CruzinFeraBruzin Posted May 20, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 20, 2023 We are on the Dawn now and the CD is Bruno Bobadilla. He was previously the Shore Excursions Mgr on the Moon so this is a recent promotion for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaman Posted May 20, 2023 #6 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Last year Bruno was ass cruise director on the Dawn aside mrs Vicky van Tassel. I recently was on the Dawn and he was cruise director and told me he still would be on board when i will do my next cruise on the Dawn dep 22nd July.

lincslady Posted May 21, 2023 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I just love that name, Vicky van Tassel. She is not a drag artiste, by any chance?😉 Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is FANTASTIC , knows how to run a show, she can sing and dance, but can also be one tough woman, so dont mess with her ! A GREAT addition to the SS family and a great CD to boot, hope we get to travel with her again soon ❤ Edited May 21, 2023 by rojaan19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyjones Posted May 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Back in November, Bruno was promoted from assistant CD to CD on the Dawn despite being a bit young and nervous about it. The Dawn needed a new CD because Vicki, who had been it, was going off to do the world cruise on the Whisper - and despite all we know and like about Vicki, she was VERY nervous about doing that!

Randyk47 Posted May 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Pretty apparent that a number of seasoned CDs decided during the Covid pandemic it was time to retire. Two we had sailed with a lot had already told us they were pretty close to hanging it up before the pandemic so while disappointed we were not surprised to hear they indeed had retired.

Such a dry sense of humour and as someone said, she is not someone I'd like to come up against in an argument! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted May 23, 2023 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Well we do love Miss Vicki. So much so that on the Dawn last August when officers were being advised not to mix too closely with guests in Covid's hopefully last gasp I was incorporated into her show as the fall guy for one of her jokes. But on the last night she had dinner with us which put a few noses out of joint. We have though met quite a few that really don't like her. The same goes for Roy Perez. A bit hard to take at first but he does grow on you. At Trivia after the first segment at trivia we were referred to as my mama and papa from Australia. But if he didn't like my very witty comments then we were the Australian mafia. In the end I did get to like him a lot. But a lot don't. Just the way of the world. I am so glad we are all different as if we weren't it would be a very boring world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that he was advised accordingly. These announcements reciting the day's activities are essential on Silversea. Although the program is outlined in detail in the Chronicles, and the publication is provided to each suite, it is widely understood that very few Silversea guests know how to read. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... one of our reasons for sailing Celebrity was the lack of PA use. Noon position announcement, notification of customs clearance for disembarkation at ports, occasional crew fire drills, and that was about it. REALLY hope the microphone isn't abused on our first SS sailing. It changes the whole tenor of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, see the last line of that post you quoted.......we can all read LOL.....and in all my sailings, I have found the PA system not used very often at all. Yes, for the usual, muster and crew drills and sometimes other things but no, it is not usually used on a "regular basis". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the captain but some captains make a daily noontime position report others don’t. The CD will sometimes follow him with entertainment information for the day and evening but again not always. Certainly not the same as on Holland America where they frequently hawked things like t-shirt sales by the pool, art auctions, gold by the inch, etc., etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Dolcevita Diva Posted June 1, 2023 #22 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I agree with Lois and Randyk47 - the PA is definitely not over-used. One of the cruise directors around 7-8 years ago was a bit annoying (he would go on and on and on)- but he's now retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
