negc Posted July 2, 2009 #51 Share Posted July 2, 2009 How do they rotate cruise directors? (Do they even rotate?? Or do they work their way up to "better" ships?) We had Allen Brooks in 2006 on EOS and LOVED him! We're going again next June and was happy to see him still working with RCI! I'm not sure but I believe there may be a seniority system where CDs have some voice in indicating which ships that they prefer to work on, but in the end, I am sure that someone at RCI has the final say in making assignments. What criteria is used I do not know but I suspect that passenger comment cards are helpful in evaluating the performance of the CDs and their staff.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfganghowell Posted July 20, 2009 #54 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Anyone know if Eric Dowis will return?? He is apparently no longer employed at RCCL. He left in March 2009. We had Mike as the CD and he was ok. The whole CD staff seemed a bit "off" on our sailing but they may have been trying to get acclimated to a new situation.

crsrock Posted July 27, 2009 #57 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The CD's that I enjoyed sailing with are Casey Pelter, Chris Northey, Keith Williams, Dan Whitney, Carly, and Rico DuBriel. Gavin Brown is gone now, but he was great, too. Each person has a different approach, and although I had a good time on all of my cruises, they have different 'feel's depending on the Cruise Director. One of the writers here mentioned possibly having a fun and upbeat cruise director for a 3 night cruise, but maybe not so much for 14 nights. I can see how that might happen.

rushedmom Posted July 27, 2009 #58 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Rico is on Enchantment (as of last week) he was marginal imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy_Girl46 Posted July 27, 2009 #59 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Glad to see Graham Seymour is still the Cruise Director on the Independence. He was on last year when we went and he was great. I see he will be on it when we go again on the 15th August. I am really pleased about that.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujosmom Posted July 27, 2009 #60 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Graham Seymour is my all time favorite CD. I think he is just hilarious. So sad to see his last sailing will be the week before we board on Nov 23 so I guess we'll have someone new for the TransAtlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrishOB Posted July 27, 2009 #63 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The list says that Allan Brooks will be CD on the Freedom from 7/26/09-9/27/09. Does that mean he will be on the 9/27/09 sailing? That's the one we will be on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Cruiser2 Posted August 10, 2009 #66 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was just on the Freedom a couple of weeks ago and the assistant to Richard Spacey was Leigh Daniels. Richard said he was leaving after that cruise to become a cruise director but I didn't hear on what ship. Does anyone know? We were on Richard Spacey's last cruise on Freedom 19th July.He had a meeting session outside the Schooner bar after the show one night so we had a chat to him and took a couple of photo's.I asked him wher he was going,he said to Turku Finland to join Oasis....
