How You Can Have John Heald As Your Cruise Director

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to sail on a Carnival cruise with John Heald as cruise director, now’s your chance to find out. The much-loved Brand Ambassador will be returning to his roots to play host on several different cruises in 2019 and 2020. Sure, he won’t technically be taking over as cruise director, but this is probably the closest you’ll get to having him serve in that capacity!

While Heald is a pretty familiar face onboard Carnival ships, he’ll be an even bigger presence on these particular cruises. As well as hosting the Love and Marriage show and various events around the ship, he’ll also appear on a special edition of Carnival’s live Morning Show.

For those who only know Heald from his Facebook page, his journey is a fascinating one. Hard as it may be to believe, the man with the notoriously off-center (and occasionally off-color) sense of humor actually got his start as a London banker. His career then took a rather sharp turn when he joined the staff of Carnival Cruise Line.

His first job with Carnival, however, was not as a cruise director or even a member of the entertainment staff. Rather, he worked as a waiter/bartender.

A year later, he had become a cruise director and, after working on a variety of ships, eventually rose through the ranks to become Senior Cruise Director in 2004.

But it was once he began blogging in 2007 that Heald became essentially the public face of the cruise line. That exploded exponentially when he began interacting directly with passengers via his Facebook page, which is followed by nearly 250,000 people.
