Any idea who will take over on Serenade and will be the CD on her repositioning cruise from Boston, October 28th? Is Carly B still with the company and, if so, any chance she will be the one?

Friends that sailed with her this spring said she was taking over September 23 through mid to late November.

So I'm assuming Dennis Charles isn't leaving the Anthem any time soon?

Any truth to the rumor that Leigh X is being wooed by RCCL to come back?

That would be great! He was the best we ever had.

So far I was indifferent to Cruisin Susan, but she does Battle of the sexes, Quest, and Love and marriage all on the last night with L&M at 3pm. Now her voice during the Belly flop drove me off the pool deck.

Was it the Glaswegian accent? Don't worry, we are impossible to understand.

Please make this true! Where did you hear this?

My DH read it on another blog a few days ago and of course he can’t remember the site, that’s why I turned to CC. I also hope this is true, he was my all time favorite

Does anyone know if Jamie Fentiman will be returning to Serenade after his two month hiatus? We are sailing on Serenade in December and absolutely love Jamie!

Have sailed only once with Leigh. We thought he was awesome. Maybe it was because of his inappropriateness.

It would be great if he came back

We were on the same sailing with Joand452. It was Leigh's 1st or 2nd sailing as CD. He was fantastic. So much energy and humor.

I hope he will return to RC. He is definitely an asset.

Well.... I've been told I'll be on the GR until Feb 14, 2019. I've also been told that for the 2019 year to be prepared to go to the Oasis Class, but nothing is set in stone.

 

 

 

 

 

We had a great CC meeting today almost 350 for the trans Atlantic.

 

 

 

 

 

Hope all is well with everyone, And thank you for the kind words. I'm happy to be back, and might even be having more fun than when I left before... :D

 

 

 

Tomorrow, Ireland.

Don’t want to hijack the thread, but we were on The Transatlantic and you did a fabulous job in every way!!! Funny, personable, approachable. Thank you for making our first TA so memorable.

I wish I stayed a little later after the Liars Club [emoji12].

Hope to sail with you again ( maybe Harmony in August 2019?)

Can anyone find out what's happening on Ovation - Gordon is due for his break soon - who will be taking over, and on what date?

And, does anyone know the handover date on Voyager?

I suppose, in person in a normal conversation she is ok. Very unimpressed with her morning show. She was ok with love and marriage, but no new material. No final day show with self assist info.

Speaking of the morning show, who was the AM and were they any good? Trying to gather enough info to give the AM List an update since Paulette still seems to be MIA from CC (hopefully she is OK). I believe Moe went to the Oasis.

Moe was there this week.

Thanks for the info. That surprises me as Marc told me last month that Moe was on Oasis.

Paulette is fine, she's been busy on other projects.

Thanks for letting us know Ken. Would she object to me giving the list an update? It's just been quite a while.
