Honestly, not much.

Nope.

[Pyrate13]

Not even a little bit.

[crznfuls]

Makes no difference to us.

Doesn't matter much. There are, however, a couple we avoid. Not naming names, but can help us choose between cruises we're considering.

[crooooze]

No. I couldn't care less.

The only memorable cruise director was John Heald on the Elation in 1999. We had Schwartz for 14 days on the Magic as a sub for Dr.E. We had the pleasure to talk to him for a 1/2 hour or so. We got an interesting incite into their cruising life. Other than those 2 couldn't remember any others

[Boozebabe]

In 20 cruises I couldn't begin to tell you the name of one of them.

[Stefanosthecruiselover]

Those answers are in two different extremes. Yes, I do care who the cruise director is, but I don't book cruises based on who it will be.

[timeinthesand]

I surely don't book my cruises based on who the cruise director is but I absolutely look forward to cruising with some Cruise directors more than others. I know some like to do their own things and not get involved in the activities but a good Cruise director makes the shows fun, the deck parties fun, the trivia contest fun, among other things.

I often wonder why they have one, surely head office could just set a roster of who does what when for each cruise.

[galfromkazoo]

I don't care. Probably could not remember who it was by the time I get home.

I think he is the boss of the entertainment crew as well.

Since Carnival CD's seem to be the loudest and most long winded shills and barkers of the 6 cruise lines I've sailed on, my vote is only for the one who has laryngitis.

[sassy~one]

As long as it is not Jamie d... IM good.

[dverzic]

We had Adam on our last cruise on the Miracle. He was really fun, but then, every cruise director I've ever had was fun! So I don't really care who I get, and I never base my cruise booking on who was the CD.

no. cd is the last thing I would consider when choosing a cruise to book. I choose my cruises, by ship choice, price, itinerary and more. But that said. I do find that some CD's are better than others, and appreciate the better ones.

[cruizinisthebest]

Didn't vote, because the choice is one extreme or the other. And there's alot in between. Yes I do care who the cruise director is now that I've sailed with a couple of superb ones. I would follow them on any ship they sailed, but then I would be giving up too much of everything else I consider when booking cruises. So therefore I don't. A cruise director that can host a good party and is friendly and engaged makes a cruise for me much more enjoyable. That said - the cost, destination, and time of year will always be my primary deciding factors.

[riclop]

Could care less.

[Kevin7kodak7]

You never get a bad one. Just some are better than others. A CD is a pinacal position. On CCL Splendor had a great one, Malcolm Woot, Woot. Can't even remember the names of the other's, LOL.

I could not name a single one from any of the 18 cruises I've been on. Don't think I could pick any out of a line-up either. So I'm pretty sure you can guess how I voted.

[Micahs Grandad]

When we book a cruise it is a consideration but not a very important one.

 

However if it came down to say Mike Pack or a long winded one would vote for Mike.

Ditto. But cd's are very important, don't think a cruise would b any fun w/o one.

No, we don’t care one bit. To us they are just an annoyance with their phony cheerfulness, breathlessly telling us how wonderful this cruise is going to be, how we must not miss this or that activity. One of the first things we do, once we are in our cabin, is turn the PA system off or down as low as possible. Their sales pitches are intrusive and irritating.
