yankees2738 Posted June 12, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hi! Long time reader, first time poster. Were sailing on Mardi Gras from Port Canaveral on July 1st. We were looking at the CD schedule (posted below) and it looks like there's some overlap. Will Kendall be our CD? I've heard she's so good!

Rare 1025cruise Posted June 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I would think so. That will start the transition to the new CD who is taking over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was thinking too but then I saw TJ coming on as well before her sign off date then leaving 2 weeks later. Three Carnival CDs at once? Sounds like a lot of fun but I'm not sure I get it 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted June 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It will be Kendall. That’s turnover and it’s Jacky’s first time on Mardi Gras so it’s an extensive turnover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect TJ to be in the mix next year when Kendall and someone else likely move to Jubilee. Edited June 12, 2023 by Saint Greg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he likes sailing out of TX since he is from there and so do I since I love Galveston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheSaint Posted June 13, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2023 We had Kyndall on our Mardi Gras cruise last November and she was amazing. Full of energy, very visible throughout the ship, a great CD. It's only when you've had a really great CD that you appreciate that they do add something to your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite so far has been Louis on the Magic. We sailed out of Galveston a few months ago and had the most incredible time. Louis made the entire trip memorable and his energy with the Fun Squad was magnetic. All that said, I've only heard incredible things about Kyndall so I'm beyond thrilled that we'll get to have her as our CD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mamiamjo Posted August 25, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Oh well, looks like the schedule doesn't even list a CD for our cruise. We're on the Breeze in November. Alex Sielger is listed as On 8/24/23 and Off 11/2/23 but then nobody is listed as On again until Lawrence West comes back on 1/11/24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a recent one that listed Joey Boyes on both Horizon and Vista around Christmas time. Someone in the cruise group for our Horizon sailing asked John Heald about it and he said it was an error and Joey would be on Vista at that time. Looking at this air table, it only shows him on Horizon from November-January. I would love for this to be correct and Joey be on our sailing.

lasvegascruising Posted September 16, 2023 #20 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Just got off the Radiance today and our cruise director was Ranier. I did not hear his name anywhere on Cruise Critic. My husband thought he did a great job. Anyone else ever cruise with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still think he is the best cruise director and have been hoping he would be our cd on another cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the Bingo host. So happy he has gotten promoted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
