current Zaandam cruise director??

[jeda]

Does anyone happen to know who the current cruise director is on the Zaandam?? We were wondering what the chances are that some of the same staff from last year would be on board..

 

Thanks

Live from the current Zaandam cruise: the Cruise Director is Chris Butcher, and he's doing a wonderful job! :)

For those in the know, is Chris Butcher the same person as Dane Butcher?

Dane and Chris Butcher are different persons. As a matter of fact Dane Butcher quit working HAL a few years ago.

Having just returned from Zaandam's March 4-19 cruise, let me confirm what a wonderful CD we found Chris Butcher to be - pleasant, dignified, mingled with the guests. We certainly hope we'll have the pleasure of cruising with him again!

Ditto about Chris Butcher--we rated him one of the best CDs we've met on HAL. Very, very nice, personable and entertaining CD. He was on our Feb 18-Mar 4 Zaandam cruise.

Who was the captain on board, do you remember? I don't see the thread anymore that had the Captain and Hotel Manager listed. Last year the Captain was S De Boer, but I am thinking he is likely on a different ship now.

 

Happy Sailing to everyone that has a cruise booked :D

On the March 4th cruise, Captain was Jan Smit, HM was Paul AZ Muller.

Thanks so much :D My Mom and Dad have sailed 30 plus times on HAL and wanted to know if they may know the captain. Now I can tell my Mom whom to expect.

 

Thank You :D
