Cruise Director - Carnival Elation

[melvis1804]

I apologize if this information is somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find it. We are sailing on the Carnival Elation on June 10th. The cruise director is Chris Malliate. I can't really find any information about him. He doesn't have a cruise director type FB page, just a personal page.  I am just curious if anyone has had him as a cruise director before. In my opinion, a cruise director can really make a cruise and they can also bring down a cruise. I have experienced both.  I am traveling with a group so I am hoping he is a fun guy! I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

Check out his FB page, https://www.facebook.com/FunFromDownUnder/. The 'A little bit about me' section says he is from Australia and has worked with the Fun Squad for 4 years, then promoted to cruise director last year.

We sailed with Chris on the Elation in April.  Loved him.  Lots of energy no matter how early or late you saw him.  Saw his serious side during the military appreciation ceremony and his totally crazy side dancing on the bar in the atrium.  Hope to be on a ship with him in the future.

Chris was one of the best cruise directors I have had. Hope he is on a future ship!
