I'm going to be on Voyager in 28 days, what are everyone's thoughts on Rob McNally? Is he good? Friendly?

Hmmm...you are right!

 

 

Can anyone confirm who the current CD is on Oasis and on Rhapsody?

According to the Oasis Cruise Compasses from the January 15th saildate posted on the Royal Caribbean Blog website, the cruise director listed onboard was Drew Devine.

Tanya Yates Tongue is the AM on Brilliance......Jerome Sueur posted photos of them together on his Facebook.

Jamie Fentiman will be taking over for Steve Davis. Got this info from the resident DJ onboard Radiance, Dennis Grageda.

I contacted my friend, Dennis Grageda, who is the resident DJ onboard Radiance, and he said the AM is Elizabeth Hackett.

According to the AM thread, someone said that Marc Walker mentioned on his Facebook that AM Crusin Susan McColl has been promoted to CD and will be on Majesty in July and August. Below is the post:

I believe Marvin should be off Navigator very soon, if not already on vacation. I had spoken to Jerome Sueur in December about Cuddy still being onboard....Cuddy signed off December 20th, and Marvin arrived that same day. So it makes sense that Marvin shouldn't have signed off until late April.

Anyone know how John Perry is on Freedom? We will be on Freedom next week and don't know who he is or how he is.

I really like John Perry. He's a really nice and cool guy. Had him on my B2B on Navigator a year ago and also this past October on Navigator for Halloween. I like how he gets straight to the point when explaining what you need to know for the next day prior to Headliner/Production Showtime. He doesn't keep going on and on, trying to make jokes, and make himself look good. I feel like that wastes time for the show. A very personable guy, I told him about how I wanted to be Cruise Director's Staff one day, and his parting gift to me was a "Navigator of the Seas Crew" backpack. I highly recommend him.

John Perry posted yesterday on his Facebook that he was on his way to Freedom of the Seas. Also, Mitch Merucci said on Twitter that Chris Brown will be the CD on Voyager when he leaves on February 28th.

Hey Donna you put that Simona was joining Rhapsody in mid-March......she's joining Splendour...not Rhapsody.

Per a post by Simona Ferraiuolo on a Facebook group that I happen to be in, she will be on Majesty on January 15th, then Splendour in March until the ship closes out.

Did you ask Cuddy who was replacing him? Because I was told that he signs off next Sunday...

I didn't know about Thomas, so thanks for sharing. I've added him to the bottom of the list as "no longer with RCI"

 

My best guess is that Jerome is the yet-to-be-announced regular CD of Harmony, but it hasn't been made official yet, so he is not at liberty to say so. I would be very surprised if anyone else gets the assignment.

Oh, he told me who would be CD after Ken. At first, he wouldn't tell me. But I'm not going to reveal that info out of respect for RCI, as I'm sure they'll want to make the official announcement themselves.

Lol well he was telling me that he wasn't originally supposed to be on Navigator; it should've been Jeff Arpin. However, a Cruise Director was fired which screwed up where everyone was supposed to be assigned. The newly promoted Thomas DeCell. Apparently, he "wasn't doing his job". Jeff was supposed to go the Nav, while Thomas, I believe, was supposed to go to Grandeur. But since he was fired, Jeff went to Grandeur, and then other CD's (I assume), including Jerome, were reassigned as a result. We then talked about how I had cruised with Ken Rush, and the announcement of him being assigned to take out Harmony. He said Ken will only be doing the take out, until the ship goes to Europe, then a regular CD will be taking over.....of course y'all already know that. I just wanted to see if y'all knew about Thomas; I read the entire thread tonight from February to now, and saw there was no speculation about it or his current whereabouts, so I thought I'd let y'all know. Anyway, I intend on contacting Jerome later to see when exactly he leaves the NV, and what he will be doing as soon as he leaves.

Just wanted to say I'm a long time follower of this thread, but I've only posted once before about John Perry's whereabouts because I know a lot of people on the NV. Anyway I had a conversation with Jerome Sueur via Facebook Video Chat on November 9th...he gave me some "inside gossip".

John Perry got back onboard the Navigator today!!! I'm assuming Jeff Arpin is now on vacation.

Sorry, I forgot the mention that Cuddy left last Sunday, June 14th, and Marvin came that day. Cuddy will be back 10 weeks from that date, according to my friends who are Cruise Director's Staff onboard.

Just wanted to say that Cuddy Cudworth's replacement on Navigator for his 10 week vacation is Marvin, from Jamaica.

Not sure if you know, but on my last cruise on Navigator, Jeff Arpin was the CD, but I had a chance to speak with John Perry personally who happened to be onboard for "vacation". He told me he will not be back on Navigator until July. Also he has no idea whether or not he will go with the Navigator when it relocates to Fort Lauderdale, or stay in Galveston to be CD on Liberty.
