Hi Venture;

 

AMDM:

Capt Jonathan Mercer

SC Thomas van Benthem

HD Henk Mensink

DRM Donny Dharmawan

PGM I Ketut de Ariya aka "Ari"

I won't be there, but a much better SECO and my friend and colleague from Calgary, Alberta will be. His name is Norm. Tell him I said hi and enjoy that 2-week voyage to AK :D

 

Norm still on board for the Grand Asia?

Will the crew change for the Grand Asia?

 

Capt for Grand Asia will be Fred Eversen; Staff Captain Jan Smit; DRM will be Philip Stolte and PGM Tina Astuti; HD will remain Henk Mensink, pretty much the Grand World Voyage crew minus Capt. Mercer. Capt. Eversen also did the 2014 Grand Asia voyage

Is Captain Chris Turner still with HAL? We first sailed with him (several times) many years ago on Windstar's Wind Song. What a great Captain.

 

Also, any idea who will be our Captain on the Veendam for the Southern Caribbean Cruise on 8th December?

I have a particular reason for asking this as I will be scattering my late husband's ashes while at sea and I would love it to be one of the Captains we sailed with previously.

Yes Ma'am; Capt. Christopher Turner is one of Volendam's two captains, Veendam's captain on your December 8th voyage is scheduled to be an Irishman by the name of Capt. Noel O'Driscoll

My condolences for your loss

2 Questions about Captain Turner. (1) Will he be on the September 27 Trans Pacific? I have a friend on that cruise (her first HAL). (2) Have you heard anything about a retirement date for Captain Turner? At a Captains Q&A he said something like "I'd like my last contract to be on the Volendam because I haven't sailed in Asia".

 

Thanks

Roy

Hullo again, Sir. Thank you for the info. on the Noordam. Will Captain Draper still be the Master on Jan. 5 when we board in Sydney? Thank you for your best wishes for our crossing, anyway.

Susan
