BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
As of last Friday, I have sent my resignation to Royal Caribbean.  I have treasured 15 years with that amazing company, created lifelong friends and have countless amazing memories.  

Thank you to all of my mentors through the years (Cruise Directors, Hotel Directors, Captains, etc).  There are too many to name personally.   You have all helped to guide and teach me to become the manager that I am today.

I wish Royal Caribbean and the shoreside/shipboard Entertainment and Activities Team the best of luck in the future as you continue the Royal Comeback!  

As for me, I am now the General Manager for Bars and Recreation!  Bars and Recreation is a Milwaukee based company that has a number of amazing activity bars in its portfolio allowing us to create Blow-Your-Mind customer experiences.  
Barsandrecreation.com

Currently, I am managing the following bars in downtown Milwaukee:

AXE Milwaukee (Axe Throwing Bar) - AXEMKE.com
NorthSouth Club (Axe Throwing and Shuffleboard Bar) - NorthSouthclub.com
Nine Below - Build-Your-Own Miniature Golf Bar - NineBelowMke.com

We have also announced our newest bar (Opening Summer 2022) - AMPED!  Amped will be a Private Suite Karaoke and Events Bar.
Ampedmke.com

Check out all of the websites if you get a chance.
I have also been moonlighting as a Bingo/Trivia host at The Destination in Waukesha, WI.

So, while my time on ships may have come to an end for now...
RIP Thriller...I have found myself standing upright in the city that I call home doing similar things that I love!

If any of you are ever around the Milwaukee area....look me up!

Thanks for listening and love you all!

Steve

A poster on another website group i'm in showed a picture of a planner that says Adventure's cruise director is Tornado Tanya

[twccruiser]

Christopher Turdo was the CD on Freedom this past weekend (Nov 5-8).

I just love when the spacing gets all wonky when I cut and paste.

[Slainte!]

Rob McNally will be the CD on Grandeur.

Cheers!

@Sea Dog may know.

[Bobal]

No updates on CDs but you may want to look at the spelling of Spectrum 😉

[DELTABLUE]

I looked.🙃  I fixed.

[little britain]

Joff isn’t on Anthem any more; he’s back home now. 

[DELTABLUE]

I goned him.

[tarheel3559]

Mariner isn't Marcel anymore. At least as of 10/29 cruise and the following 11/2 voyage. Eric something..I didn't catch his last name. He's the current CD.

[DELTABLUE]

Removed Marcel from Mariner.  Can anyone fill in on Eric?

[joand452]

Who's the CD on Anthem now?  And how is she/he?  We usually don't care, but this is a last-minute cruise next week, and we just want to know what to expect.  It was Dennis Charles on Anthem our last cruise.  Liked him (when he was Dennis Sciortino) fine on Brilliance in 2008; meh in 2019.  Figure we'll have him on Oasis next summer.

[DaniDanielle]

Dennis hasn’t changed.  We had him on Oasis, he needs to shake up his stuff!

[tracyintpa]

Would love to know who our CD is on Mariner 12/4/21 sailing.  Want to try to find out if there is any way to get pickleball going on the ship.
