pjlee3333 Posted November 11, 2012 #1126 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Was on the Enchantment cruise that got back this weekend. While Luke Arrowsmith got on October 26 he didn't actually take over as cruise director until November 1. Some on board said that Paul Rutter did 2-3 cruises on board as cruise directors. Blairs are due back January 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyCruiser8 Posted November 12, 2012 #1128 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi Donna! I booked the new years cruise on the explorer. I was wondering, what kind of activities do they use to replace activities such as the belly flop competition and sexiest man since its the winter? Ps were really hoping Leigh is still the cruise director by then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted November 12, 2012 Author #1129 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hi Donna! I booked the new years cruise on the explorer. I was wondering, what kind of activities do they use to replace activities such as the belly flop competition and sexiest man since its the winter? Ps were really hoping Leigh is still the cruise director by then!! We were on the New Years EX cruise last year, with neither Leigh nor Richard as CD. To be honest, there were NOT enough scheduled activities to replace the outdoor ones, so on the cold/windy days when the outdoor decks were closed, there were a lot of people wandering around aimlessly and bored. This is where a CD can really make a difference! A better cruise director (such as Leigh or Richard) will make sure there is plenty to do to keep the passengers positively occupied on those indoor days, although I can't say from experience exactly what replacement activites are used.

ChipLondon Posted November 13, 2012 #1138 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I wonder if Ken Rush might be taking the Christmas / New Year cruise time off The Allure, as it will be his 50th birthday.

James will return Jan 28 until most likely the repo back to the Med for the summer. Ken is likely doing the repositioning on that date - I haven't checked the schedule.
