Just back from the 5/17 cruise and met some of our favorite CM's again and missed some others.
I was looking all over for Kadir (bar staff) as he has always been so good to us on our previous cruises but he was not there...hope he is just on vacation.
John is Bingo King with Andrea his Bingo Bunny. As funny as Robin was at Bingo, John adds his own humor to the game and the interaction between him and Andrea is very entertaining.
Raise your index finger, ready, set, go....excerise that finger to prevent any Bingo injuries. Push and fold, say it with me now...push and fold.
Green is the color of what????? Yes, Leeks the national vegetable of Wales and money.
Yellow is the color of what????? Yes, Daffodils the national flower of Wales and the color of snow you should not eat!!!!
Yeahhh Baaaaby!!! Corrrnerrr!!! Quack Quack!!!!
If anyone was at Bingo last week they will know what I am talking about!
My favorite Asst' Server Beckie from Canada was on vacation and we missed her by only 2 weeks. Did get to see our old Servers Girish, Gede, and does anyone remember DisneylandDarren (England) from the DIS....well, he is now a server onboard!!! He sailed as a guest on the 1/4/03 cruise and we talked to him quite awhile. He even booked for the following week while onboard! He has since gotten a job onboard and loves it. He is very entertaining in the dining room and all the servers appreciate his energy.
The band onboard was Sea Breeze....they did a fine job, though I still like the Johnny Danger Band the best.
Got to talk to Andrea much more this cruise and she is also one of the hardest working CM's on the cruise staff. Quentin is new to the cruise staff and he a doll. He is from South Africa and a real sweetie. Sean has moved to a shore excursions position. Ian has left for good and so has April and Robin. DJLA is on vacation. Andy, Jodie and DJ Dan are also new to the cruise staff and seem very nice as well. There was also a blond guy who just got onboard 5/17 but I forget his name. It looked like he might be another new DJ or something. A whole new cast of main stage performers seemed to be onboard. We saw them throughout the week. Someone said they are to start the replacement soon of the current main stage performers.
Andrea hosted 80's night, John hosted 70's night, and I forget who hosted 50's night (maybe Luigi) but most of the cruise staff was at each theme night. Quentin hosted Match Your Mate and Luigi was the mean Pirate Captain at Walk the Plank. John hosted the deck parties and also hosted the "Till We Meet Again" thing in the Atrium on the last night. Unfortunately we heard from someone that he is leaving
DCL for good in about 3 weeks or so.
So, that's the wrap up!!! I promise I will post a full trip report soon (with pics!).
