Captain / Hotel Director / Cruise Director Thread (Updated Through December 2014)

Thank you very much for the schedule AzamaraJoel. It seems we will have the pleasure of meeting Captain Jose on Quest in June and I am very happy with Rykshard and Russ as HD and CD. :)

Thank you for the update.

Hi everyone! I'm posting the shipboard schedules for the Azamara Quest and Azamara Journey below. If you're on an Azamara cruise this year, enjoy!

Thank you, AzamaraJoel, for posting that. We are on Quest soon, with Captain Carl, and I know we will enjoy our Azamara cruise as much as we have in the

past. Hapicruisin

Seems on both of our upcoming cruises we will, for the first time, encounter the much lauded Heike and Eric.

Thanks for posting this. It adds to our anticipation.

Hi Nordski,

I have not sailed with Eric yet, but Heike is fantastic. I hope you enjoy her Azamazing efforts for their Guests, as much as we have. She's a gem !

Same for Eric....best CD we've ever had. Great entertainer too.

Johannes, Heike and Eric - the dream team!! We sailed with this team last year and they are wonderful!! Great that Eric and his identical twin brother Johannes will be together!!:p:p We are looking forward to sailing with this wonderful team again in a few weeks.

Anyone know who is on Journey on June 28?

Very helpful, thanks. Heike is great and Eric is very talented.

I was wondering if the captains ever change ships year to year. We were on Azamara Journey's second cruise ever (I think 2008) that went to Antarctica and we fell in love with Captain Carl. Life has intervened and we are finally coming back to Azamara and the itinerary that we are interested in next year is on the Journey again. I noticed that in 2014 Captain Carl is spending his whole time on the Quest. Does he now stay with that ship? Is there any chance he might be on the Journey in 2015?

Thanks for any feedback.

Robin, the last time I was on the Quest, about six months ago, the Master was Jose Vilharonho (sp? on his last name) born in Portugal and brand new to ACC. He relieved Carl in Miami. We were initially concerned about a brand new Master but he was great with the passengers. Heavy accent but circulated more than Carl. And he told my wife she reminded him of one of the dancers on one of his previous cruise lines and she still talks about that. She loved Jose. He also fielded some tough questions from the pax in an open meeting and handled them well.

he was my captain this winter but for one cruise. liked him but felt his noon day talks more like lectures vs carl. i had 5 captains on 2 ships since Dec 2010. but only Johannes on both and he flew from SC twice to the Quest.

Thanks for this thread. I checked post 275 for our upcoming Quest cruise. I was thrilled to read that we will have the same team as our previous (only) Azamara sailing in 2013.

Captain Carl , HD Philip and CD Tony . As our first ACC cruise was a TA we had lots of time to get to know the officers. ;)

BTW, Capt. Jose Vilarinho did some of the sea trials for the "R" ships when he was with Renaissance. :)

I received an email from someone currently on Journey. The lovely Sarah-Lou is on board at the moment as LCV hostess and future sales.

Looking forward to seeing her again on our forthcoming May 12 cruise

To the best of my knowledge, captain Tysse will disembark June 28 in CPH. Which means that captain Ikiadis will be in command on the Baltic Sea sailing from above date.
