Rescue156 Posted July 28, 2005 #226 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I wonder why Carlo is bumped back down to Assistant CD? He was CD on our cruise and was travelling to other ships to be CD....why demoted I wonder? I thought he did pretty well.....John Heald and Marahscalh Stanton are still my 2 favorites but still.....

LHP Posted July 28, 2005 #227 Share Posted July 28, 2005 a CD was suppose to retire and then did not. I thought I read years ago that John H. was retiring. But I see he is still there. Also, they "retired" the Tropicale...so perhaps when they put older ships out of service...they have to put CD's in other job positions. I would not look at it as a "demotion" .... just a temporary assignment until a CD spot becomes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather be cruising Posted August 3, 2005 #229 Share Posted August 3, 2005 On the Pride July 24 sailing, the cruise director was Lenny Halliday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted August 3, 2005 #230 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Peter Gibbs. We were lucky enough to have him twice when we first started cruising as a family and we have never forgotten him. I heard he had gone with another cruise line...but I was never able to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestorm19 Posted August 4, 2005 #232 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Was on the Elation 7/17/05 cruise (re-routed to the Bahamas, Key West).. The CD, Jorge Solano, was great! He used to be a stand-up comedian, I believe.. he was way more funny that the ship's comedian! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisekrazy63 Posted August 5, 2005 #233 Share Posted August 5, 2005 John Heald is the best followed very close by "Wee Jimmy". We had them both on the Triumph and it was the greatest! We have sailed with Wee Jimmy twice and Mark Price twice. I guess we have gotten really lucky on our past four and had great CD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MortgageChick Posted August 5, 2005 #234 Share Posted August 5, 2005 John Heald and Wee Jimmy made out crossing from Europe to NYC ,Sep 2002, one of the most memorable cruise experiences to date. I would personally book a cruise just to be on the same ship as John Heald, regardless of itinerary. Carnival is smart to put him on the Liberty, he did a good job when the Legend was new in Europe and was in uncharted territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennbill Posted August 11, 2005 #236 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Had Shawn Bussey on Spirit in 1/02. She was GREAT!! Would love if she was on our Pride cruise 1/15/06. Of our eight cruises Shawn was the most fun CD. Our worst ever CD was an African American gentleman (can't remember his name) on the Pride 1/03. Arrogant, not funny, and all around crappy. The biggest reason we rate the Pride as the worst of our cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucysapphire Posted August 11, 2005 #237 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Hi. I am rather new to posting here. I was wondering if anyone knows who will be the CD on the Liberty in December? I am sailing Dec 4. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs56 Posted August 11, 2005 #238 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Not seeing or hearing too much on here about the Victory's CD. Someone mentioned Dana ??? Anyone know anything about him, how good is he? I have only been on one cruise before and it was with John H. and Wee Jimmy. I am probably spoiled but would like to know anything about our CD for the Victory in November. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swagner Posted August 11, 2005 #239 Share Posted August 11, 2005 We just came home from a cruise on the Celebration...Big Tex was the CD on there :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted August 11, 2005 #240 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Paul Santley is really on the Holiday!!!!!! Please make him stay there until we cruise in October. It will be right after the drydock and I am soo afraid that he will not come back on. We have sailed with him a couple of times and needless to say....I loved him. He taught me how to sing "The Lilon King" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynovmom Posted August 11, 2005 #242 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Anyone know where "Karl with a K" is? He was a fun asst. on the Paradise. I hope Skip on the Destiny is the Australian asst. who we've sailed with on the Sensation and Victory. Again a great guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzynurs Posted August 15, 2005 #243 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Just off the Inspiration this week. CD was Darcy Knieval (I think that was her last name). Not impressed. Never saw her around the ship but heard her loud booming voice everywhere. Not to mention, she dressed rather sloppily. I found that strange since usually they wear a blazer of some sort. This lady was heavy (no offense meant, so am I) and wore sleeveless shirt and black pants. This is petty but it struck our party as strange dress for a CD.

happy cruzin Posted August 15, 2005 #245 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Wow!! Is Mark Price really on the Triumph? Does anyone now for how long? is their likely to be a change after drydock :confused: . Mark was CD on our Glory cruise. He was a hoot! That would definately be deja vu :rolleyes: !

Mark was CD on our Glory cruise. He was a hoot! That would definately be deja vu :rolleyes: ! Just got off of the Triumph on Saturday, our CD was Matt Ross. He had a great personality and voice, but didn't really see him a lot. Good Cruise though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs56 Posted August 15, 2005 #247 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I still don't know anything about our CD for the Victory in November. Dana (something) I sure hope he is good!!! Anyone sale with him in the past?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godeano1 Posted August 18, 2005 #248 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Just off Inspiration (8-15). Hands down the worst cruise director in the three cruises I have taken. Absolutely no personality and she was never seen other than on stage in the Paris Lounge and hearing her booming voice over the PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toesockrock Posted August 18, 2005 #249 Share Posted August 18, 2005 So glad to hear Big Tex is a CD -- he was just a social host on the Miracle, last year. Karl with a K was there, too, in August 2004. I'd like to know where he went to, too! xoxo Maggi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbird Posted August 18, 2005 #250 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Crzynurs, What you discribe sounds like Jennie Baxter somewhat. She was the CD on the Elation last March out of Galveston. She reminded me of Rosie O a little bit. I wasn't impressed either. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
