John Heald was the cruise director on my very first cruise in 1996. I had a great time and remembered him when I was on his supposed "farewll" cruise which was Liberty's Transatlantic in 2005. I expected him to be seasoned and good. What a dispappointment. Enduring his Borscht Belt 1950's Poconos-style "act" for 16 days including 5 days in a row at sea, was a truly horrible experience that tainted an otherwise perfect vavcation. I was only relieved by the thought that it was going to be his last. My travel partners and I felt that he was overly self-absorbed, obnoxious, tedious, not fun or funny, did not DIRECT as a cruise director should have been doing and frankly past-it. Given his popularity, however, I guess I am in the minority. Nowadays, I AVOID cruises he is on. It takes all types:o) I must be in the minority.
