Knowing which cruise director is on which Carnival cruise ship is an important factor for guests, the cruise line has announced which cruise directors will be on the next round of vessels restarting operations.
Carnival Cruise Line Cruise Directors Announced
The Miami-based cruise line has announced which cruise directors will be on which cruise ship as more ships make a return to service through the fall season. It’s always been important for guests to know who is on their ship as the cruise director can make or break a Carnival cruise experience.
“As we continue to successfully restart our guest operations with additional ships on the way, we are also bringing back the fun in many ways, and our wonderful cruise directors who define the fun on board are leading the charge,” said Chris Nelson, vice president of entertainment for Carnival Cruise Line. “It’s been such a special experience seeing our ships get Back to Fun, and we’re just getting started!”
So here is the list of cruise directors on the coming ships restarting operations, starting with the Carnival Glory, which just arrived in New Orleans on September 3 to prepare for sailings from the revised date of September 12:
