norwane Posted April 21, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hello~ For the folks who were just got off the IOS, I was just wondering how the new CD, Jamie was? Anything else new or exciting that you can report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trich64 Posted April 21, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Average....too over the top for my liking We cruised April 11 - 19... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njm5378 Posted April 21, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 21, 2015 We were on in January. He is very energetic, a little to much for me also. I did enjoy the job he did with Love and Marriage. He does what he is paid to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjlt Posted April 25, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2015 We just sailed with him 4/11-19 as well...Didn't care for him to much. I did enjoy the Morning Show...That's about it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkman32 Posted April 25, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thought Jamie was funny, did april 11-19, the cruise director really only introduces the shows, makes a few appearances etc, a cruise is only what you make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else new or exciting that you can report? What was your opinion of Gordon Travis? He should have been the Activity Manager onboard with you? Did he co-host the morning show with Jamie?

cruisevv Posted April 26, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I just got off 19-25. Don't know about the shows but pleased to report that the spa was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted April 26, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yes, Gordon Did the morning show as well..He was good and funny. When we sailed on Indy in February, Gordon was filling in for the CD on that cruise. He was very personable, but not as visible on the ship as I expect a CD to be. The events he hosted, he did very well. I had the accidental occurrence to meet him at Café Promenade on embarkation day, when I was getting a coffee, while waiting for the Loyalty Ambassador. Very nice to chat with and he did have a wonderful staff working with him. Some of them I know have been transferred to other ships such as Anthem to take her out. You should have still had Tom Sting, who was great at Karaoke and trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go on the same ship and have two different CD's and feel as if one was a great cruise and the other less so. How the CD schedules things to do on board, will have an impact on how the cruise feels, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stablesquid Posted April 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just got off the Indy yesterday. He is very energetic and excitable, but he definitely has a peculiar sense of humor in my opinion. The one morning show we caught on our stateroom TV had him in an animal onesie stuffing marshmallows in his mouth for 20 minutes and trying to talk. Again, just my opinion but I just didn't get his sense of humor the whole cruise and thought the shows he hosted dragged on and on because of him.

JoeRum Posted April 27, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nothing special as a cruise director. There seemed to be a lot of dead time and space throughout the evenings. Never saw him out and about other than to introduce or MC shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
