peteukmcr Posted July 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2008 He was CD on our Navigator in 2005 and Freedom in 2006 - excellent. Out of 10, I'd give him 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmsdos Posted July 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2008 A true professional.... and nice! Rates a 10:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted July 23, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ken has a very long history as CD for Royal Caribbean and for several years now has been the person selected to bring out their new ships. He indicated he will have this role when the Oasis is introduced. I was not overly impressed with his performance as a CD when we first cruised with him but have grown to enjoy and respect his abilities since then. He can be a bit annoying, IMHO, when he chastises members of the audience who are leaving the theater before he has finished his update of the activities that will be taking place later in the evening, but he has everything well organized, and he and his staff offer a full menu of games, activities and shows during the cruise. He is also quite personable on a person to person level and you will see a lot of him throughout your cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamielps Posted July 23, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have been on several cruises on him, always the new ships it seems. He is very good but sometimes IMHO a bit cocky and there are times when I would laugh at him becuase he would act a bit cooler then he really was. No one kill me for saying that but because I think he is quite good, just a tad full of himself. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FitzLA Posted July 23, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I on the other hand, hated him and thought he was a total bore and extremely arrogant. And he ruined quest. He lets kids in and makes it G rated instead. I guess he is great for some, but for us, he bored us to tears. Thankfully, the CD does not make or break my cruise.

silentkink Posted July 23, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted July 23, 2008 also how do you think he compares to richard spacey. also do all cruise directors do evolution of dance or just richard spacey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingBabsNY Posted August 6, 2008 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ken Rush is the best! I was very happy to see that he was CD he is very personable and on top of everything onboard. I have sailed with him 2 x with a 5 year gap, and he still remembered me! He's tops in my book! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralynn222 Posted August 6, 2008 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I would give him a 10 as well. He's charming, handsome, funny and very personable. On my cruise I saw him everywhere day or night. I kept wondering to myself...my gosh, does this man ever sleep? He'd be at the club until 2am and then I'd see him again bright and early in the morning. I'm betting you'll enjoy him too.

psbchris Posted August 6, 2008 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ken was the cruise director on Liberty when I sailed it, and I thought he did a very good job. He is very approachable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Posted August 6, 2008 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Wow, Ken Rush was our very first CD, and that was nearly 10 years ago. I've always remembered because my maiden name was Rush and the last time i used it was on that trip. (no relation). I do remember he was very nice.

Cruising89143 Posted August 6, 2008 #16 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Does not impress me at all. As I have stated before, most (not all) CD's remind me of a used car salesman. This is the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted August 6, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Does not impress me at all. As I have stated before, most (not all) CD's remind me of a used car salesman. This is the case here. I agree. Not really a fan of him or Spacey. I prefer someone like Ashley Kerr and her more subdued, genuine, refined, "less-is-more" style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted August 6, 2008 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2008 also how do you think he compares to richard spacey. also do all cruise directors do evolution of dance or just richard spacey. We have had both of these guys.......Richard Spacey is really,really funny....Ken is not like Spacey in that sense,but I like Ken.....He is a hard worker,I think.......

Sancho_proudfoot Posted August 6, 2008 #19 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We had Ken on our cruise earlier this year, on board IOTS. Although admittedly, our first cruise, I had heard of him, and seen him on various TV programmes, and (although I have no-one to compare him with) I'd rate him 9,99 out of 10. Very hard working, personable, approachable, friendly, professional.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_jeannie Posted August 6, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ken is OK, he was the CD on the Freedom inaugural. But, there are others that we like better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahag07 Posted August 6, 2008 #21 Share Posted August 6, 2008 We've know Ken for l3 years, and he is a great cd! He does think that he's all that, but it fits him, and he is very good at what he does! He's quite funny and sarcastic, but we llike that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted August 6, 2008 #22 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Wow, Ken Rush was our very first CD... I do remember he was very nice. Ooof!! Ours too, Viking Serenade 1993. He was very pleasant and competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserbryce Posted August 6, 2008 #23 Share Posted August 6, 2008 he was our CD on Liberty of the seas and has been by far the best we have had...he is fun, entertaining and very friendly...we are really hoping that he will be the CD for the inagural on Oasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoputt.plusone Posted August 6, 2008 #24 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm not a great fan. He's far too full of himself for my liking. I'd rate him no higher than a 5. Honestly the best CD we've had was on a Carnival cruise years ago. His first name was Corey but I've heard he has left for greener pastures in Las Vegas. He made Ken Rush look like an amateur. 2P.P1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
