DonnaK Posted September 28, 2013 Author #501 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) A few CD handovers were possible for this weekend. Can someone tell us, as of Sunday's sailings: Who is on Explorer, John Blair or Leigh Xuereb? (Will the handover occur tomorrow?) Who is on Liberty, Jerome Sueur or Rich Edwards? (Will the handover occur tomorrow?) Also: Is Rico still on Legend? (He should be scheduled for a break soon, before he goes over the Vision in November for a long contract of 5-6 months) Is Jimmy still on Mariner? (It's been more than 4 months, unless he is on a longer than the usual contract there) Edited September 28, 2013 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone tell us, as of Sunday's sailings: Who is on Explorer, John Blair or Leigh Xuereb? (Will the handover occur tomorrow?) Erky is enroute, in the air from Turkey to Explorer. He will be the AM. So it might be Leigh's start day as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted September 28, 2013 Author #503 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Erky is enroute, in the air from Turkey to Explorer. He will be the AM. So it might be Leigh's start day as well :) Thanks! I was thinking the same thing. Or, perhaps he is going a week in advance of Leigh to provide a smoother transition. Either way is likely, and a good guess. lol Hopefully someone boarding tomorrow will post here and confirm if the CD is still John or Leigh.

jewopaho Posted September 28, 2013 #505 Share Posted September 28, 2013 We recently sailed the Vision through the Norwegian Fjords. Topi was about as awful a CD as we've ever encountered ... immature and better suited for the teen program. He and his AD, Patrick, appeared to enjoy each other's company more than the passengers'. Joff remains our favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGHProducer Posted September 28, 2013 #506 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just heard from Erky and he will be doing handover with John and Katrina until Leigh arrives next weekend.

Michcruiser62 Posted October 1, 2013 #513 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Was on my first ever cruise there, 4th August on Liberty Of The Seas, and thought Jerome was an excellent cruise director, Cuddy was hilarious too. Couldn't imagine anyone else apart from them two doing it. Couldn't believe when I found out that was his first time as CD? My wife and I sailed on our first together Sept 8-15th. Couldn't agree with you more. Jerome and Cuddy doing the "Morning Show" was very entertaining. We had the pleasure of interacting with them a few times and they both were excellent and a credit to RC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted October 5, 2013 Author #525 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Does anyone know (or can anyone find out) who is on Mariner right now? All I have been able to deduce is that Jimmy Rhodes is on his break. Don't know when his break started, when it ends, or if he is scheduled to go back to Mariner or to another ship. Is anyone in contact with Jimmy on social media or such, and can find out when/where Jimmy's next contract begins, and who came onboard Mariner when he left for his break?
