HomeLover Posted August 10, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I will try to look up the information as of the 7/30 cruise I just was on. However, that is no guarantee that those people will still be on board when you cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeLover Posted August 10, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 10, 2009 OK, here is what I have Captain: Dag Dining Room Manager: Luis Teixeira Chef: Cornell Ruhland General Manager: Anelo Balbi Cruise Director: Ray Solaire Staff Captain: Fulvio Calandro Social Hostess: Nicola Asst. cruise director: Elda Pauluzzi Cruise consultant: Gudren Werner As I mentioned before: I cannot guarantee that there will not be staff changes. This was the 7/31 Baltic cruise. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted August 10, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Gee, I wonder if that means that Cornell won't be on for the Discovery Collection. We're on the last leg, Rio to FLL and would love it if he was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're on the last leg, Rio to FLL and would love it if he was on. Really curious who Cornell is. I'm happy to see Ray Solaire on board -- he has had rave reviews lately.

Wendy The Wanderer Posted August 10, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 10, 2009 He's been our chef on Voyager both times. One of those times we did a CDB course (with Fred too), and he participated quite alot--helped us cook! It was great, he's charming and very cute too.

mrlevin Posted August 10, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Homelover, thanks. I was hoping that Martin would be in Compass Rose but I guess no such luck. :( Who is Ray? Is he new to Regent? Did he move up through the ranks? Again, thanks, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he move up through the ranks? Again, thanks, Marc No, he has served on many lines including Oceana and Seabourn. He is coming to the end of his career, I would think. He does puppet shows and magicky things as well as running the general entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeLover Posted August 10, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Wendy, I know Cornell just came back on because I talked with him, but I don't know how long his contract is. Marc, Ray is definitely at the end of his career! I went to his show, and found it to be well orchestrated musically, but boring. Dag said he worked with him 20 years ago on song of Flower FYI, I am also known as Kirky5 elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted August 10, 2009 #15 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks HomeLover/Kirky5. Didn't know you were on Voyager. Not sure how long these contracts are, but it's looking bad for me and Cornell. Almost 4 months until we board, so we'll probably miss him. Oh well. Travelcat will get to try him out!

shua22 Posted August 10, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Since I am on the week before travelcat, hopefully I will get Cornell too. How do you register for the CDB cooking class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisewoman79 Posted August 10, 2009 #17 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Since I am on the week before travelcat, hopefully I will get Cornell too. How do you register for the CDB cooking class? It was listed as an excursion and we booked it also but probably 9 months ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted August 10, 2009 #18 Share Posted August 10, 2009 You have to book it fairly far in advance generally. It costs $495 pp. It's a fun experience, with usually 3 demo/cooking/eating sessions, special dinners and sometimes other events. We loved it so much we're doing it again in December, booked some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelcat2 Posted August 10, 2009 #19 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Since I am on the week before travelcat, hopefully I will get Cornell too. How do you register for the CDB cooking class? Unfortunately it is only offered on a few voyages. Your cruise is Spotlight and Art and Music. Ours is Spotlight on food and wine -- plus the CDB class.

mrlevin Posted August 10, 2009 Author #20 Share Posted August 10, 2009 All, thanks for the additional info. I guess too much to hope for Jaimie or John. I miss not cruising with Barry and Sam, too. I hear Paul is on Navigator so at least there will be one familiar face. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diebroke Posted August 11, 2009 #24 Share Posted August 11, 2009 diebroke..thx, how is your Voyager cruise going? Col Wes, Thanks for asking. It's a spectacular itinerary. The ship is nice. Regarding food & service, a few things been outstanding; a few, relatively unimportant things have been bad; and most things have been mediocre. The net is that we are enjoying it.
