Bobby Brown - Cruise Director - Opinion?

[delirious9876]

I of course appreciate that opinions are subjective but can anyone give me their view of Bobby Brown as he is the CD on an upcoming cruise. Thanks.

 

Before I get flamed or dozens of posts about this I am a person who does think a CD adds or takes away from my cruise. I appreciate you might not. :)

I love him. There's just something about him.

Didn't care for him but to each their own. Of course we had Richard Spacey for most of our other cruises. After him everyone else is a disappointment.

I told you it's subjective - ha ha ha, as I really don't like Richard Spacey :(

There is. He is one of our favorites. He is low key, droll and always out and about the ship.

Don't miss his 'cake decorating' class with the Black Forest Cake, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. I thought he was great.

I can't believe people actually know names of cruise directors.

 

Of all my trips, I could not tell you one thing about any of them, let alone their names.

 

Except one female CD who made announcements with a great English accent.

 

I think that was on the Carnival Fantasy...

Maybe it's the kilt. :)

 

He's just very nice, pleasant and his wife works along side him as activities manager. He's been around a long time so he's experienced. He's not loud and crazy but I don't care for that type of cruise directing.

 

He's a very normal, regular Scotsman, only you can understand him. :)

I had Big Tex on Carnival Fantasy and then Butch the next time. And Stu on Carnival Spirit. :D All three were memorable and I really liked them all. I remember more about them than most RCI cruise directors.

 

I remember Bobby well because we've been on board with him a lot. There are plenty I don't remember at all.

The Black Forest gateaux demo has to be one of the funniest things I've seen . (Say no more). Bobby Brown was one of the best we've had along with Joff Eaton and Graham Seymour as I have to admit there the only ones I remember .

[goodycruising]

We liked Bobby and Becky. The atmosphere was good and I would be happy to see him as listed as a CD on a cruise I was going on.

Bobby and his wife, Becky are among our favorites along with Joff and Clo. If you have sailed with any of them you should definitely remember their names.

[jennywren46]

Lol oops a senior moment Id forgotten Clo she's great so friendly and always around .

[Goof3]

Just another data point, we've only been on a few cruises but 2 of them were with Bobby as the CD. We like him, the man seems to be everywhere and we sometimes wondered if he ever sleeps. As others have noted, he is fairly low-key but funny, I've seen his cake decorating session twice but I would certainly make sure to see it again if I had the chance. He is actually the only CD I remember.

I refer you to the 2nd paragraph of my original post. You are exactly the person I expected to write this.

Well that's why I wrote it.

 

I think about 90% of the CD are almost exactly the same.

 

They even use many of the same jokes.

 

After many trips they all blend together and I tune them out.

 

I guess it's hard because they have to try to appeal to a broad group of people at the same time.

 

Now that I am thinking about it, I remember a guy with a Union Jack blazer and some fat guy who called himself "big sexy" ...

I agree - it's probably the kilt :D

 

I enjoyed having him as a cruise director and he's one of the few that I actually remember.

[dancinman66]

Bobby is great

Loved every cruise I've had with him

Responding to an old post on Cruise Directors.....just back from Harmony where Bobby Brown and ?Tino? did the most amazing job...kept you up to date at start of each day on tv in stateroom. Very funny guys made my day

Anyone know which ship they will go to now HOTS is moving to Caribbean???

[Norwich Cruiser]

Has another two weeks left and does a reasonable job just introduces and closes the shows that's about it.

[filmstar40]

He was on Adventure when we sailed on her.

 

Our opinion - boring, dull and humph.

 

The dude on our last cruise Cuddy was way better than any over the last few years.

 

But to be honest most carry out a same pre programmed routine.

[crosby99]

He is ok. Not sure where his wife was on Harmony as was with someone called Hugo. Better than 2 previous CDs on oasis class ships

Think it is a very hard ship to be CD on.

[Aussie One]

I was told he was a finalist in the Rio Olympic games

it was the hide and seek event

We love him. Have had he and Becky more than once. Was profoundly impressed by how he tactfully managed someone whose English was very poor through the Marriage game. Poor lady had no idea what her husband had got her into.
