Favorite Cruise Directors

[DMMarla07860]

After hearing Christiaan will be coming Back as Cruise Director I thought who has been your favorites over the years?

Mine have been of course Christiaan, Natalie, Lesley, Matt(was ACD when I had him, but is now a CD), Ashley. Pictures not in any order. I'm excited Christiaan will be CD again.

Natalie. Love hearing her accent.

Agreed she was great. And she had helped hire a few of my new favorite entertainment staff

She doesn't have an accent...

Darren! We had him on the Fantasy in 2022, he was awesome. So excited for him to be the CD on the Treasure!

I’ve been on many cruise ships and what’s up with Peter as a cruise director? He seems like he doesn’t care at all anymore.

Christiaan and Clayton are the two best for me. So glad Christiaan is coming back!

I like Darren too.

Interesting, I haven’t had him in a few years so don’t know tbh, he wasn’t as outgoing as others

Same I talk to Clayton and Christiaan. To bad I don’t have a cruise booked on Wish.

Though have one on Treasure so hopefully Darren

The only one who really stands out to me is Clayton.

The Club Hosts have always had more of an impact on our cruises than the CD.

I completely agree!

Club hosts standout to me as well, though it's changed a bit, missed club host position on wish

Is that what Jo was? She was the best!

I've had Clayton three times, Brent (my mom even made him get in a photo with my sister and I), Darren, and Ashley. I don't remember about my first cruise or in 2012 though Clayton was so funny and I even named one of my TR's after his famous quote. I loved Darren and I was constantly running into him throughout the 2017 PC cruise. Same with Ashley the last time I cruised. While I did have Natalie as a Bingo girl (yes, we showed up to every game and lost every time) and an assistant cruise director, I never had her as a director. That's her and her co-workers with my plush Perry the Platypus in 2011 (I even brought him last time because I had assumed she would be the cruise director). It ended up working out fine because I loved Ashley

Yup Jo was amazing

True - Peter is probably the most "traditional" of the CD that DCL has... If you look up his bio, I believe he is the only one of DCL's CD that has not come through the "entertainment area of Disney". I had him twice last year, including on NYE - where he genuinely gave it a try... This is actually one of the reason why I like him as a CD... he is not that "semi-fake, over the top" entertainer... just classic... and an instrumental part of DCL's original program in Europe
