ncb106 Posted July 16, 2009 #1 Posted July 16, 2009 Joff eaton would be going to the independence in november and i will bo going in december i wonder if he gonna do a great job
ChipLondon Posted July 16, 2009 #2 Posted July 16, 2009 Absolutely Joff and his wife are great people, you will enjoy his style
borg1of2 Posted July 16, 2009 #3 Posted July 16, 2009 Joff was our CD on the Jewel last Decemeber and I found him to be an excellent CD. He is not the entertainer type that a lot of folks like, but he creates great energy and is very very visible on the ship, which I enjoyed. I met his wife and mom on the cruise and they were really great people. His wife works for RCCL. JMHO
ctcontrol Posted July 16, 2009 #4 Posted July 16, 2009 Yes I think he will be great on the Indy. He did a great job for us on our last cruise last month. Being a Brit is has a British sense of humour. Go to his Progressive Sea Day Quiz (If he does one). Good fun.
ncb106 Posted July 16, 2009 Author #5 Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks everybody i was scare thiniking that i was gonna get a bad cruise director i am use to having richard spacey,ken rush,james andew,and dave chapman
DHADEN Posted July 16, 2009 #6 Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks everybody i was scare thiniking that i was gonna get a bad cruise director i am use to having richard spacey,ken rush,james andew,and dave chapman ncb, this is VERY IRONIC....... My wife and I were on the Jewel last Thanksgiving and did a "VOWS RENEWAL" on board. It was the first cruise for Joff as Cruise Director, and his wife, Amber, was the Cruise Program Administrator (the one who set up, planned, and prepared our Renewed Vows). First, I have to say, Amber is the sweetest, dearest lady I have ever dealt with professionally. She worked WAAAAAAY above and beyond expectations to make sure our "Ceremony" was more than perfect. Second, Joff was the one who insisted on doing the Ceremony. He may not be the most exciting or the funniest C.D., but he is by far the friendliest and most personable C.D. we ever met. He and Amber both were constantly mingling with the guests and making everyone feel VERY SPECIAL. On the other/ironic side..... We just got off the Freedom where we had heard all sorts of GREAT things about how Richard Spacey is the "Best Ever". I have to say, we were very dissappointed. Except for the shows after dinner, he was COMPLETELY GONE. We went to all sorts of events (Capt. Welcome Aboard, Crown & Anchor Welcome Back, Diamond/Platinum Loyalty Brunch, numerous events in the Pharoahs Palace, and many times in the Promenade) where you SHOULD be seeing the C.D., and he was M.I.A. Maybe he was having a bad week, or sick. We heard he was leaving next week. Anyway, if you go to Joff, introduce yourselves, and tell him you are really having a great time, I promise you, he will go out of his way to make your cruise special. Oh, and.... Tell him Darrell & Donna said hi!!!!
freedomrider Posted July 16, 2009 #7 Posted July 16, 2009 As you can see from my signature, my cruise experience is limited. However, of the 3 cruise directors I have experienced, Joff was the best. I can't remember the name of the CD on our FOS cruise of June 07, but I kept getting the impression that he was trying too hard to entertain. Big Tex on Fantasy was better....not so in-your-face. This, of course, speaks to my preference, not necessarily good/bad or right/wrong. Joff, on the the other hand, was a much more subtle entertainer. Never the overbearing, cheerleader type. And it's not a Brit thing....the FOS guy was also from GB, I believe. Anyway, my 2 cents....of the 3 so far, much preferred Joff.

Gonzo70 Posted July 16, 2009 #9 Posted July 16, 2009 I had Joff on my Jewel cruise. Even though he was suffering from a bad illness for much of the cruise, he still did a great job. I would be happy to have him as a cruise director again.
tract0rgirl Posted July 22, 2009 #10 Posted July 22, 2009 We sailed on Jewel last month on our first-ever cruise and Joff was absolutely brilliant. Very funny - almost like John Cleese with a really good, sense of humour. His progressive quiz is well worth going to and he was hilarious on the Love and Marriage Show. If he does his 70s night - check him out. We had a scream. We're sailing on the Independence next summer so I'm hoping he'll be on there.
unberwoob Posted July 22, 2009 #11 Posted July 22, 2009 Joff was our CD on the Jewel last December and was terrific, especially at the 70s night (check out his white suit). We are so excited that he will be the CD on our cruises next month.
ncb106 Posted August 26, 2009 Author #12 Posted August 26, 2009 I am taking a cruise on the indy in december and joff eatom is gonna be my cruise director,this would be his first time on freedom class ship,i want to if he good on the actv like the sexy legs,belly floop,quest
ChipLondon Posted August 26, 2009 #13 Posted August 26, 2009 Joff is a great CD, you will love his style.
Gonzo70 Posted August 26, 2009 #14 Posted August 26, 2009 I thought he was highly entertaining earlier this year on the Jewel; he seems to be a real good guy.
Aviator of the Seas Posted August 26, 2009 #15 Posted August 26, 2009 We had him on the Jewel last October. He's great.
JIMDSB2 Posted August 26, 2009 #16 Posted August 26, 2009 Weve had Joff twice (Panama Canal cruise in February, and Baltics cruise in July). Both times we were on the Jewel (beautiful ship). He is very personable and very funny in a tongue and cheek kind of way. You know British Humor.
cheezgrl Posted September 30, 2009 #17 Posted September 30, 2009 Joff Eaton is FABULOUS! He is very visible, friendly and so funny! I've cruised with him twice- he was one of the highlights of the cruise. Amber, his wife, is also very nice- we booked our next cruise with her.
CVU Posted September 30, 2009 #18 Posted September 30, 2009 He did a great job and was hilarious on our B2B Aug & Sept. 09 on the Jewel!!
cheezgrl Posted September 30, 2009 #19 Posted September 30, 2009 But wait...I'm booked on the Jewel in April-- who will be my CD? Anyone know?
MA cruisers Posted September 30, 2009 #20 Posted September 30, 2009 Joff was great on Jewel last month. He is very personable and can be seen around the ship alot. He was a hoot on the love and marriage game and Millionaire. I was looking forward to seeing him at Quest but his sidekick mc'd Quest and he was great as well.

corbettgirl21 Posted October 2, 2009 #22 Posted October 2, 2009 Hi I was just on Liberty on 9-12-19-09 and the cruise director was Abe Hughes. I am not sure on his last name but I am positive his first is Abe as I had him on my mariner cruise and this cruise. He is wonderful!!! I love Abe!!:D:D:D He is really funny and yet a really nice person.

Langley Cruisers Posted October 3, 2009 #25 Posted October 3, 2009 With all due respect, why do you keep posting the SAME thread over and over again? The search isn't working, but this is the third or fourth time you have started the exact same thread. Sorry I can't answer your question and, honestly, if no replies on your thread then no one else knows the answer either. If it's important for you to know, I suggest you e-mail RCI. :)
