QE2 Cruise Directors.

[Andy Holloway]

My daughter was this morning, quite by chance speaking to an ex QE2 Cruise Director and his wife while they were waiting for a train at Hungerford, all she got of his name was Alistar or Alistair, and asked me if i knew him. I can picture his face but can't for the life of me  remember his surname, can anybody help please? He also did 'penance' on Princess!

[Michael Gallagher]

Greener?

Hope you're well, Andy.

Hope you're well, Andy.

Michael

Very well thanks Michael and we both hope you are also.

Still 'sailing' although considerably smaller now, river cruises with Scenic, off to Basel next to 'sail' back to Amsterdam, much nicer being on the other side of the fence so to speak!

Thanks for the name, I understand he was off to lecture on QM2.

Great topic, Andy! Here we have the start of another collection of crew members through the ages of QE2.

How many can we list from our own memories and experience?

[Andy Holloway]

Colin Parker, top man.

[Lynda Bradford]

Brian Price who shared his QE2 slide collection with the forum

Peter Longley and of course Elaine Mackay

Peter Longley and of course Elaine Mackay

I don't think Elaine was ever a Cruise Director, she was Social Hostess responsible for among other things 'Stitch and bitch'! Towards the end of QE2 she went to Cruise Sales if I remember rightly, better hours probably!

When revisiting this topic, I thought it would be a good idea to list the Cruise Directors that were mentioned on this topic. Thanks also to Brian Price, who contributed. Can you add to the list? or provide information on Cruise Directors?

Terry Conroy
Brian Price (22 years as CD of QE2 and prior to that he was the Deputy CD and also Port Lecturer)

Warren was, originally, part of the 'Dance Couple' on QE2 then joined the Cruise Staff when his Dance contract ended. I can't remember the young lady's name who was the female of the Dance Couple.               Michael?

Scott Peterson. I don't recall Peter Warwick being a Cruise Director on QE2 whilst I worked there from 1996 - 1998. Brian Price, Colin Parker, Peter Longley and Scott were the CDs during that time. The dance partner to Warren Smith was Daniella. Bob Doherty was a relief Cruise Director I believe in the early 80s.

Thanks Lucinda for sharing your memory of the cruise directors during the time you were on QE2. I wonder if anyone knows the years that Peter Warwick was on the ship?
