Thanks for the update!

John Blair....does anyone know if that's the same John Blair that used to be a CD on Celebrity?

[truffles2]

Don't know for sure but do know that he has been with Royal for quite a while.

[SamFritz]

John works with his wife Katrina. They've been with Royal for a long time. I've been on two cruises with them. They are very good. I love his Neil Diamond impersonation. Cruise directors are not big determining factors for me, but sailing with John and Katrina would always be a plus for me.

It is nice to hear comments about the Cruise Directors and their Activity Manager. I guess it helps in this case that they work together. I have always felt that their family life must be filled with havoc. Perhaps you would consider putting your comment in the Activity Manager thread that is on the message board as well.

Hi!

 

However, there are other Diamond C & A members (My family & I) that will avoid him like the plague and will pick cruises to avoid him if all other factors are equal!

 

It's always a matter of personal taste. I try to avoid Jimmy Rhodes and Ken Rush, but others like them. Those that I prefer may not suit others.

 

It's the same with big name entertainers and concerts! I can't believe that people pay some of the ticket prices that they do these days to see some of the performers that I wouldn't cross the street for! But that's "freedom of choice" and there's enough CD's to go around !:D

I am sure what you say is true.....I have never had a CD that I would avoid, but there surely are those I am 'glad are on board with me' when I cruise.

 

It doesn't factor in when we book a cruise....we book when we can cruise.

[ncb106]

Let me see if Luke write back to me

We're on Rhapsody now, not sure what's happened to Tim but the CD is "cruisin Susan McColl"

Susan is the Activities Manager and Tim is the Cruise Director. Well that's how it was on the cruise prior to the current sailing.

There is a CD conference this week, and the AMs have taken over as CDs on several ships to cover for this week only. It's hard to imagine that Tim would travel to corporate in Miami all the way from Australia, but not impossible. So, perhaps he is attending, or perhaps he is just under the weather.

Has anyone heard where Francis Calimag is? Was on the Grandeur

[pjlee3333]

I think I've seen on the concierge thread that he's back in the concierge lounge on Grandeur. If he had two months vacation he should have come back about January 15 (or the first cruise after that date).
