Thanks to everyone for their help in providing me with information on who they come across on sailings.

 

My hope is to put update this thread every few days or at least once week.  To do that, I need cruisers (or others that somehow have 'insider information') to let me know who they come across on sailings.  HAPPY CRUISING!

 

What Activity Manager have you come across?  Post the name, ship and sailing date to help keep this thread as accurate as possible.

 

****Adventure OTS – Kelly from Alabama has taken over on 11/23.

 

****Allure OTS –  Kim Scott took over on 10/13.  No idea if it is a 2 or 4 month contract.

 

 ****Anthem OTS –  Tresha Robb took over mid October.  Tresha told me that she will be on Anthem until the end of February 2020.

 

****Brilliance OTS – TT  has been reported as onboard on the completed sailing 4/20/19 and still onboard as of mid Sept 2019 by a cruiser.   Based on normal contract periods, it would make sense for TT to be heading to vacation soon….so hoping to hear more from other cruisers on Brilliance.

 

****Empress OTS – Tanya (not Tornado Tanya) takes over from Orlando Cruz on 11/30/19, based on information from the CD, Elvis Pinto

 

****Enchantment OTS – Saini has been onboard, but could be completing a contract and departing the ship. Who is currently onboard? 

 

****Explorer OTS – Katie (unknown last name, but not to be confused with Katie Turner) took over on June 26 and she is expected to be onboard until the end of October.

 

****Freedom OTS – Bern has been identified as on board. No information on contract timeline.

 

****Grandeur OTS – Cian should have arrived on GR on 11/23.

 

*****Harmony –  Chris Turdo should have taken over on July 28.  Chris is heading to vacation on 12/1  and Flavio Maeda  may be onboard and taking over as of 12/1.

 

****Independence OTS – Alex Paul joined the ship probably in late Sept when he returned from vacation …..Katie Turner is due to return before Christmas.  Alex is on a short assignment.

 

*****Jewel OTS – Luana from Brazil  returned to Jewel in mid May.  As of the 7/14 sailing she was still on board. Probably a 4 month contract through sometime in Sept.

 

 

*****Liberty OTS –   Reynaldo from Brazil was spotted on board in mid November.  Don’t know what he started this assignment.

 

****Majesty OTS –  Mickey Martin should have returned to the ship on 10/4. 

 

*****Mariner OTS –  Looking to learn who took over from Gemma Stubs who departed on 11/22.

 

*****Navigator OTS –  Eric Lopez took over on  10/4.

 

*****Oasis OTS –  Kat should be the AM when ship returns to cruising with passengers after drydock  November  24.  We sailed with her on Anthem and she was very good.  High energy!

***** Ovation – Aysy  took over on 9/20/19.

*****Quantum – Troy is onboard, we don’t know how long he will be on board.

 

*****Radiance OTS –   Sophie is currently onboard on the 7/30 sailing as reported to me, by the CD on the ship, Mark Rous. 

 

**** Rhapsody OTS – Thiago Motta has been reported on board.  As reported to me by a cruiser, Thaigo may be onboard until December. 

 

**** Serenade OTS – Nick has been spotted on the ship as AM. If someone can ask him how long his contract is and until when he will be onboard, that would be wonderful….THANKS for all the help.

 

**** Spectrum OTS –   Bonnie Bai has been identified as currently onboard at least since July 15.

 

**** Symphony OTS – Hannah should have come onboard on 11/24.

 

***** Vision OTS – Enzo Matijaca will be on the ship until late October or Early November, finishing up a contract and heading to vacation as told to me by Enzo.  Waiting to learn who is taking over from him.

 

*****Voyager OTS –  Alex Schmidt is reportedly onboard by cruiser on 10/28. I don’t know when he arrived or for how long he will be onboard.

Does anybody know where Alison Hasler from Aberdeen/Scotland is now? She used to be one fo the activity staff on Serenade, then became AD and was on Independence for one turn and was supposed to return in August - but I don't see her anywhere now. She is wonderful and we would love to sail with her again.

Am I the only one who does not go on a ship because of the CD or MD or whatever you call the person who does the announcements and introductions at shows.  I am amazed at how many people are so into who is on the ship.  I know, it is me and I am the one who does not really care who does all that.  So, do not be mean to me, just know that I go for the ship not whoever is on it.

So why are you on this board??? 

I do care a lot who the wonderful energetic and enthusiastic members of the activity staff are; they can make or break the atmosphere on a ship! But again, if you don't care, don't read the messages on this board.

On our last cruise on the Serenade (in 2017) we loved Alison from Aberdeen (Scotland) on the activities staff; I read here that she has advanced to AD (very deserved) but might not return to the Serenade after getting back from her vacation. Too bad, we would have loved to see her again; the activities staff makes such a difference! We'll be again on the Serenade in December and hope to have great AD and CD.
