coastercat24 Posted September 10, 2015 #168 Share Posted September 10, 2015 We have been on 11 cruises so far and have only had 1 cruise director that we didn't care for--Ken Rush. Just didn't think he had much personality and everything he did and said seemed to be rehearsed, not even a little spontaneous. Hope I didn't offend anyone who likes Ken, that was not my intention. My favorite CD's were Graham Seymour and Richard Spacey. Had Graham 3 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted September 13, 2015 Author #174 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Exactly what I predicted!Is he filling in on any ships over the holiday season or taking an extended break between two long contract? (6 months). September - March would be an unusually long break. My guess is that he will do a 6-8 week fill-in on another ship to cover someone's break. Or, he may be reporting early to the shipyard or at corporate headquarters to prepare for taking out Ovation.
