Anyone know who is on Ovation for September? Mike is headed back to Wonder right?

Mike signed off Ovation 8/26.  The new CD is John did not get his last name.  He is new to Royal, spent many years with Celebrity.

That would be John Grantham - used to be a stuntman. A music trivia afficianado.

Oh, no!  I was on Enchantment with Bobby in the spring.  He told me that after the end of that run and his vacation he would be back there in the fall, through the end of the year.  Will that happen if he is starting on Oasis now???  He is a fav and I was looking forward to seeing him again in November.  Color me sad.

Just got off Navigator this morning. We had Eric (did not catch his last name but he's from Mexico) as our CD, not Mey Lau. Thought he was very good! Very energetic and fun.

[Slainte!]

Cruizin Susan is CD on Jewel.

 

Cheers!

[DELTABLUE]

Thanx to all for your continued input!  Can't do this without you.  Will assume that Eric from Mexico is Eric Lopez from Brazil.  Do we have a last name for Cruizin Susan?

We'll be on the Navigator again for Labor Day; I'm sure Eric will be great, but we'll miss May and her awesome energy!  Too bad she couldn't stick around for the voyages in which the ship actually goes somewhere, instead of floating off the coast (but I'm not surprised - she's been on the Navigator for 6 months and was clearly tired our last trip).

I don't know if it's the same Eric since the Eric on Navigator said Mexico's his home country, while Eric Lopez is listed as being from Brazil? Wished I'd caught his last name!

Have a wonderful time! I thought Eric was really good but don't know Mey since it's our first cruise with RC. Would love to hear what you think! Maybe you can find out his last name too 😅!

I asked in the Brilliance group on social media who replaced Jamie and was told "some American named Mike."  Maybe someone will know who that might be.  I'm really hoping Jamie is back in December.  He was Richard Spacey's activities director on Freedom years ago and I could tell he would be a great CD.

Does anyone know how long Joff Eaton will be on Anthem?   We had him many years ago and absolutly loved him.  We are sailing on Anthem in November (Thanksgiving week) and would love to have him again.

I have no insider knowledge, but historically Joff has been U.K. based in the summer and Australia based in winter. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he may be on Ovation in February.

I don't know Eric's last name.  He is from Mexico.  He is the cruise director on Enchantment.
