tedjazz Posted February 26, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Last we knew Billy went to the Diamond Princess awhile back. Does anyone know where he is these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted February 26, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Billy was spending a lot of time in the home office - but not sure if that is still true. His wife, whose name I forget, was (is) a choreographer for the Princess production shows. Billy was our CD way back 5-89, on Sea Princess (originally Kungsholm, later Victoria, now Mona Lisa), Osaka/Honolulu/Vancouver. We thought Billy one of the better CDs., but I know he leaves some people cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquelineRAM Posted June 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I believe he was our CD on the Dawn Princess last Apr. Here is a pic I took of him. so you can confirm it was him... :) You got the first name right... I was on the Dawn right before you... His name is Billy London - an excellent CD if I do say so myself. Who was the DJ on your sailing, if I might ask? -Jac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakermania Posted September 27, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Billy Hygate is currently on the Island Princess but unsure when he signs off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipahain Posted September 27, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Sadly Billy Highgate is not my cup of tea as a CD ....he reminds me too much of Butlins holiday camp Directors however he was alwaysw out and around the ship , things were well organised and he always spoke to everyone which is a lot more than Lee currently on Sapphire does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenmate Posted September 18, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I worked with Billy London at Riviere Sands Holiday Centre in Hayle, Cornwall, in 1991. He was a top bloke, and took me under his wing when I was a completely wet-behind-the-ears young lad of 19, to show me the ropes of the entertainment business. He took no BS from anyone, but was also the fairest bloke I've ever worked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikaula Posted December 1, 2008 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2008 He was the CD on Golden Princess in May 08. Only the really good and really bad CDs stand out in my mind. He is on the really bad list. I found him very annoying. He was a bit too in love with himself for me. To each his own I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsman_ba Posted May 29, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2009 He is back on the Island Princess now. I found him to be entertaining and full of energy, which also went for the rest of his staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacruisergal Posted May 31, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi Druke1 aka Michael............We were on the Sea Princess at the same time and thought that Billy Hygate was the best CD and still talk about him 33 cruises later as a teriffic CD and the best we have ever had on a cruise. We have been on a number of Princess cruises since then but never had the fortune of having him as a CD. Did you do the pre-cruise on the Sea Princess from Tokyo to Osaka too?

mary_228 Posted September 19, 2009 #14 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I couldn't believe it, but he was the CD on the Caribbean Princess a few years back. Never our favorite after ten days of his showboating on the Sea Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
