Nope... it's not out yet... I asked him about it a few weeks ago and it's still not ready.

I have Capers for the Miracle listing BRENT MITCHELL as Cruise director.

Liberty: STEVE KNISLEY

[snedecor]

According to Stormin' Norman,

 

Ryan Fitzgerald will replace Wee Jimmy on the Glory. Wee Jimmy I think will take Vacation and go to the Conquest in March.

I know John will be on the Freedom from Feb 2 to March 28, then leave to get the Splendor ready

what's the skinny on Todd? We are doing a TA on the Freedom so I hope he's good. Lots of days/nights so a great CD really helps.

 

Thanks.

I believe he was the CD on our Miracle cruise two years ago. Don't remember that much about him, other than at several sailaways, we heard bagpipes playing, and later saw a picture of him in a kilt. In fact, I think he may have worn the kilt on formal nights. As I recall, he was fine as a CD...same cookie cutter jokes included.:rolleyes:

We've sailed with Todd twice - Conquest in 2005 and Liberty in 2007. He's very good - personable, puts together a good schedule of activities, doesn't go overboard with announcements. Our Conquest cruise had a rearranged schedule and an extra day since we were playing "keep-away" with Hurricane Dennis, and Todd did a great job dealing with the changed schedule.

Somewhere I say pics, bios and blogs on the CD. But can find it now.

 

Anyone know where that is at?

any comments on the Triumph's Director Lenny Halliday?

[cruisinbuddy]

We had Todd Wittmer on the Liberty in '07, now on the Freedom. He's OK.

Thanks for your replies re. Todd.

I was on one of the miracle initial sailings out of Jacksonville and I can't for the life of me remember the CD but he was the best I have ever seen. Anyone know who that was?

[caribbeanchickie]

Sorry, I just saw that someone posted a question about LENNY HALLIDAY.

[pe4all]

Just got off the Freedom last week. Todd was pleasant, and he wasn't one of those "in your face" type of CDs.. His jokes were standard, but well delivered, Then again, I am easy to please while on a cruise ship- just entertain me, and I am happy. I do agree that he keeps his announcements to a minimum - doesn't talk just to hear himself talk. Seemed to have a good sense of humor. No kilt, though!,even on formal nights- just wore a tux. I do remember a different CD wearing a kilt while we were on Liberty (name slips my mind - senior moment)

[popcorngal]

There is a list on www.carnivalentertainment.org It has pics and bios, and that may well be where I saw a pic of Knisley in a kilt, though it's a different one now. Just click on "now playing". I know it was as we were leaving Tampa that we heard the bagpipes, so it had to be on the Miracle.

[picabo972]

Just saw Goose on the Ecstacy a couple of weeks ago and he talked and talked and talked and talked. It got annoying after the first day. It didn't ruin my vacation but it was almost like I didn't leave my 6yo at home. :p

[cruisingjon]

Is Big Tex no longer on fantasy?

[sheri18]

any info on ryan fitzgerald? was looking forward to wee jimmy (heard so much about him)..... i guess he will be on vacation when we are on the glory...oh well...........

[laurie -canadian]

Does any one know any thing about Shawn Bussey and will he be on for Easter March 21 . Thank for your help

[LambKnuckles]

I'm hoping GOOSE is still on Ecstasy... I've heard good things about him!

Thanks for letting us know he was on in December...

[anaslile]

To answer a question a little bit back. Big Tex was the CD over the Christmas cruise.

[sealgs2000]
