Cruise Director Lisa Ball

[Hopperhop]

We were on the January 2 Ruby cruise with Lisa Ball as the Cruise Director. I thought that she and her staff did a great job on the cruise. I talked to her several times during the cruise and she never brushed me off and the conversations were always pleasant. Also her staff was really fun at all of the events they hosted and pleasant to talk to when we stood around and talk afterwards. I have touble understanding why some of the people had such a problem with her.

We have sailed with Lisa before and enjoyed her enthusiasm and hard work. She was always on, maybe too perky for some but I believe thats just the way she is. Never saw her big time a passenger or act condesending towards one.

 

I really don't understand why cruisers get hung up on who the cruise director is.

 

I have only been on two Princess cruises and really enjoy the difference between the two (Lisa Ball and Ron Goodman) and the ones who were criuse directors on Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises that I have been on. I don't need the constant announcements, blabbering, or in your face entertainment that you get from the Carnival and RCI CDs. These people believe themselves to be celebrities or something. We will be on the Carnival Magic for a Med cruise this summer and I am not looking forward to the constant announcements and overbearing style of their CDs. I'd take Lisa in a second. Looking forward to getting back on Princess in 2012.

I think she did a good job. The white hot deck party was fabulous.

Dear Richard I beg to differ. Lisa had all four games to play on nuts but on saturda she played both then due to passengers complained about too much football so she made an announcement that (due the consideration of other passengers)the game would not be on muts and not even in the cabins but she would only show it in the conference room, it's a little room just past the casino.I actually talked to her about personally,she was hosting an event in the sanctary.

This conversation did not go well, anyways this all games were on

Remember, your cruise is what "you" make of it.

My wife and I have been on about 15 total cruises and not one CRUISE DIRECTOR came close to the job Lisa did. I can't believe one negative complaint was that she would probably appeal to an older crowd! Has anyone looked around to see the average age of people who cruise? IT HAS TO BE IN THE SIXTIES. If I were running a business who customers were in their sixties (on average), I would direct my employees to cater to the older crowd. It's Business 101.

 

Lisa should be promoted, if anything.

 

Anyway, Princess is a good company and people like Lisa are the reason that it is.
