PLEASE NOTE: ALL SCHEDULES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The Cruise Directors assignments and schedule is subject to change as the needs aboard different ships change. Schedules often overlap with another Cruise Director at the beginning and end assignments. This allows the new Cruise Directors to become accustomed to a new ship, and learn what activities and entertainment the ship offers.
The schedules are fluid and many popular cruise directors are not currently on the assignment schedule. Often this only means they may currently be on vacation leave or haven’t finalized a contract commitment yet.
This schedule can change frequently, and if you want to sail with a particular cruise director, you should check the schedule regularly to learn where your favorite cruise director may be assigned.
What does a Carnival Cruise Director do?
On a Carnival Cruise the Cruise Director is the most visible and also “the voice” of the ship giving many of the public announcements. The Cruise Directors often are seen hosting events like deck parties, gameshows, and more. They also help keep guests informed about what’s happening on the ship during the cruise.
