Thank you Donna for all the work you've done with this thread. And thank you Joe for picking up the mantle and continuing what I think is a very popular topic here on Cruise Critic.

Thanks Donna for keeping the list for 5 years. I will be subscribing to the new list that Joe has set up. Your list has been a great tool to see who the Cruise Director will be for my upcoming cruises.

Thanks again goes to Donna.
