Dave85 Posted November 25, 2011 #26 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Isn't the Explorer after the Oasis, sort of a "demotion"? I would think RCL would want their very best, on the biggest, newest ships. Richard is certainly one of the Very Best. I've been hoping to catch up with him again, since I saw him on Majesty, way back when. I just booked Oasis, and now he's gone, of course. Perhaps he wanted to return to a bit smaller ship. lol Thats my theory... he enjoyed his time on Oasis but probably wanted to return to a smaller ship. Perhaps someday we'll find out if that's true! Still, I was very surprised that they assigned a rookie CD to Oasis after he left. You think they'd put one of their established, premier CDs on the Oasis!

abhb Posted November 25, 2011 #27 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We had Richard on Oasis and really were thrilled with him. We liked Graham, Dave C and Joff much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtopia Posted November 25, 2011 #28 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've heard about Richard a lot through CC, so I'm glad I'll get to see him first hand when I'm on the Explorer in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted November 25, 2011 #29 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think the Explorer would be a great choice. Even though we were thrilled with Richard on our Oasis cruises, we didn't see him as much as when we were on Freedom. We felt like we saw him every day on Freedom between the evening shows and the outside activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave85 Posted November 26, 2011 #31 Share Posted November 26, 2011 So who's on Allure as CD in June? Has it been planned that far out yet? I'm pretty sure we don't know that far out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheilb4 Posted November 26, 2011 #32 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Whoever gets Richard Spacey will be very lucky......IMHO he is the BEST CD out there, there is no-one that compares, truly! no-one! I enjoyed his wonderful personality on Freedom several times, so hope he will go back there one day, since Port Canaveral, Fl is my home port.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozebudred Posted January 15, 2012 #46 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have been on the phone w/RCCL a couple times over the past month. They told me it appears Richard is still Cruise Director on OOTS but that he was on his 2 month break since some time in November. I hope that's right because I was calling them specifically to find out if he was still on OOTS for when I return to the ship on 3/31. He is just simply THE BEST!!!!!

rozebudred Posted January 20, 2012 #49 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm just reporting what RCCL told me about Richard. H would have been on his break from mid-late November through January and then return. I hope what they told me was true because he is an experience all by himself!

funNsun4me Posted January 20, 2012 #50 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just spoke with Crown & Anchor. They have Richard on the Explorer from 1/16/12 through March. Hope it's until the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
