lvetocruise2012 Posted October 1, 2017 #51 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I'm so excited that Dr. E will be our CD on my November cruise.....BUT if it was someone as as the CD it would not affect my cruise at all. CD do not make or break your cruise but they can surly enhance the experience. My 2 cents[emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Nerd Posted October 1, 2017 #52 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not a care in the world who the CD is. If there is one person I care about, it's who the piano player is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted October 1, 2017 Author #53 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not a care in the world who the CD is. If there is one person I care about, it's who the piano player is. I'll second that! If there's one thing I do care about, it's who the live musician performers are. They bring so much enjoyment to the cruise experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_blond2 Posted October 4, 2017 #54 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Some CDs are more annoying than others, but it really doesn't impact my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aheverly Posted October 7, 2017 #56 Share Posted October 7, 2017 No we don’t interact or go to shows. Just meet captains dinner for formal night and hear them talking, making announcements Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted October 7, 2017 #57 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Should have been more options for answers. I don't care who the Cruise Director is and would never book a cruise based on who the CD is, but I've found that a good one can make things a little more fun and interesting.

The4Cruisers Posted October 7, 2017 #59 Share Posted October 7, 2017 We've had some good ones and some not so good ones. All in all, it's just another position on the crew. We'll cruise regardless of the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fla Mike Posted October 7, 2017 #60 Share Posted October 7, 2017 In 20 cruises I couldn't begin to tell you the name of one of them. ^ What she said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted October 7, 2017 #61 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'll never forget Cassie because she was the most annoying, whiny-voiced CD. And the guy that always says "ciao ciao... but only for now" was also very annoying. Otherwise they don't bother me but I wouldn't miss it if Carnival cut them to cut costs. On our Alaska cruise they replaced the CD with a scientist who would always talk about interesting things, and point out wildlife ahead, instead of hawking cheap jewelry and spa "discounts" like the CDs do.

winddawn Posted October 15, 2017 Author #62 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I've been on Sunshine 3X and Emma was cruise director all three. I heard her "Good morning, lovelies" and other announcements but in three cruises, never laid eyes on her! So no, I don't care....:'):'):'):'):') You made a good point. I think most passengers hear the CD's voice when they're trying to sell something over the PA system, but otherwise couldn't pick the CD out of a line-up because they never see them.

Kevin7kodak7 Posted October 15, 2017 #63 Share Posted October 15, 2017 You made a good point. I think most passengers hear the CD's voice when they're trying to sell something over the PA system, but otherwise couldn't pick the CD out of a line-up because they never see them.Lol, not true, as they are on the ship's tv all day long. Been on carnival splendor 3x and alway had Malcolm. Spoke to him all 3 cruises and he was very good. Last cruise on Anthem and was chosen for one of the televise shows. Very nice, but up till meeting him was not impressed. He comes across better in person, than his morning tv show. But still can't remember his name, only been 10 months, LOL. My 2 other RCCL cruises and never met up with CD. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momof3cruisers Posted October 15, 2017 #64 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Don't pay any attention to it when booking but have occasionally thought "Oh, nice. I like him." I would like to sail with Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBCruiseLover Posted October 16, 2017 #66 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I didn't really care about them until last week. Now after spending 8 days onboard Dream with CD Chris Williams it does matter. He should be on every ship all the time! He is by far the best.....in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDeeJay Posted October 16, 2017 #67 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We've only had one CD that just made us run for cover, and I don't see him listed anymore - other than him, we've either not been annoyed or have actually enjoyed the others. Mikey stands out in memory - what a sweetheart!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahan92 Posted October 16, 2017 #68 Share Posted October 16, 2017 No not at all. I adored hearing Wee Jimmy’s “Top of the morning to ya!!!” when I was on the Sensation a few years ago, but he’s honestly the only one that’s ever stood out.

buddylover Posted October 16, 2017 #69 Share Posted October 16, 2017 The poll is a little 'narrow'......it may not be all 'black' (No, not at all) or all 'white' (Yes) as the choices given......but the verbiage "do you care who the CD is?" could include some middle ground. We certainly do not book based on CD, but it does matter once we are on board and the great ones (Dr. E, Matt etc) have enhanced our cruises substantially. So in the end, I can say we do 'care', but we don't book just to be with a specific CD (we book itinerary first) but are excited to be with CD's that provide an additional PLUS to the total experience.

Rare sparks1093 Posted October 16, 2017 #70 Share Posted October 16, 2017 We book about a year and a half before the CD list is even out so it can't be a consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesmiths Posted October 16, 2017 #72 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Personally I could care less, unless of course the CD is the person who will be bring me my drinks to the Havana Cabana area as I do not plan on leaving that area only to visit ports for awhile! Then I do care! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted October 16, 2017 #73 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Usually by day three, I just wish they would quit talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruzCrazy Posted October 16, 2017 #74 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Can't vote in the poll because neither applies to me. I DO care who the CD is, but I DON'T book a cruise based on that criterion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mek Posted October 16, 2017 #75 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I might care after I'm on board, but only if the CD is annoying. Not in a million years would I ever try to find out in advance who it is or change a cruise once I knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
