2018-2019 Cruise Director and Entertainment Director Schedule

John Heald posted this earlier today!

wow used to know the CD's or at least have heard of them. Who are these people?

We are going on the Breeze in December. Our CD is TBD lol. We are seriously looking forward to it! We will have even a sweeter video this year! Here is last year's.

Lee Mason is a rockstar! We had an incredible time on the Sunshine. He was probably the best we ever had!

I hate to have to ask, but having never cruised, I have no idea why this matters. What's the difference?

Great question!

Truth is, to most people it doesn't matter because they do their own thing. BUT..... A good Cruise Director hosts all the games and shows and knows how to liven a party like a good DJ or host. A really good CD like Lee Mason will actually spend time with people and make them feel extremely important even though there are thousands of people on a ship. So, it's really on matter of preference if it matters to a particular person or not.

Oh that's cool! But the cruises will offer the same things regardless correct? For example they'll have a show and comedy show and movie etc?

That said, I have a preference only for a CD I will not cruise with.

Did you bother to look at what was posted? Pretty simple to see.

Rude, much?

Our Hawaii Journey's cruise is late April/early May next year. The list shows Lee Mason as the CD on Splendor through April 2019......so I HOPE he will be our CD. I've never heard of him, so I asked on FB and received overwhelming replies that echo what you said.

Not really. What is rude is someone taking the time to post a very helpful post and then another person not being bothered to read it and instead just ask questions expecting everyone to do the research for them

a Cruise director can make or break your cruise.

A good director will make sure there are lots of stuff to do-- and make it fun

We sailed once with a CD that was hardly ever seen-- and we were bored half the time

unless we wanted to go to a talk or lecture-- or spend money. Was no where near fun

I got Julie from the Love Boat! for my Splendor Cruise.

Only when appropriate. So what's your excuse?

Actually these days it is the ED director that does all the scheduling.

Well stated.... Kind of reminds me of commercial (Home Advisor) where a couple asks their neighbors for handyman and then tells them to get quotes and book appointment for them.... Like do people need to be spoon-fed?

We just got back from Sensation with Cam. He was awesome and I believe relatively new. He will be doing this for a long time to come.

I looked twice but maybe I missed it.... Is Matt Mitcham not on the schedule past July? He is supposed to be Carnival's rock star of cruise directors.... is he leaving?

Anyone sailed with Chris Williams? Apparently he'll be on the vista when I sail July 28th.

And I never knew or cared who the cruise director was until last summer - I cruised with just my teenage daughter with DR E on the Magic and he made that cruise so fun! I hadn't cruised since my divorce and the kids were little and I think we were so busy with family stuff we didn't make it to many events really... so we didn't even know who our CD was lol!

But this last cruise I had a lot of free time and met some great friends (still talk to and have visited out of state) and we al had a blast at Dr E hosted events!

We did the Eastern route with Dr E on the Magic and loved the ship so much and that we had planned to do the Western this year... then he got moved to the pride.

I loved the idea of the Vista and Matt M ... so we booked but then he got moved... we are happy with the Vista being new to us and the ports!

We haven't sailed yet and in theory we have had Matt, then Jamie D, and now Chris Williams, so who knows who we will actually get lol?

We'll have fun no matter what! But since dd willl be busy with teen stuff I'll attend more events and hope this guy can bring it :)
