Two Cruise Directors?

[swimducky21]

I'm on the Carnival Magic in a couple of weeks and noticed from John Heald's blog that we have two cruise directors (?), Simon London and Leigh Xuereb. Simon's sign off is 10/6, while Leigh's sign on is 9/22.  Is this something that's normally done when one CD is leaving and the next is coming on?

Sometimes they have this happen. Usually when the replacement CD hasn't been on that ship before.

Yes it does. TJ AND Emma are both on Fredom now. 

 

Leigh is amazing, he is so much fun.

On the Horizon a few weeks ago Mike Pack was going on vacation it was his last cruise and Cookie was on the boat to takeover.  It worked out well because we were able to get off early due to Hurricane. I guess Mike CD got off early because Cookie CD disembarked us.

My understanding is that when a new cruise director comes aboard they generally come on about a week prior to the existing CD signing off so they can observe and learn the ship, etc.

 

And Leigh Xuereb is AMAZING!!   We had him as our CD in March on the Miracle and he's so much fun!!

Thanks for the replies! I'm hoping we get The Quest, it's a favorite of mine.
