Can anyone find out:

Adventure (date of handover)

Brilliance (who is following Mike on Sept 22)

Empress (who is the current CD)

Majesty (who is following Patricio, and date of the handover in late-August)

Ovation (who is the current CD)

Quantum (is Fang Lixin the CD? What date does Paul return?)

Rhapsody (when is the handover date in mid-August)

Serenade (who is following Jamie, and date of the handover in mid-September)

Voyager (who is following Michelle, and date of the handover in late-September)

I just saw this. We are not staying in a Suite, so we don't have access to the suite lounge. Is there another place you can think of? Probably 2pm would be good because we're not sure how early we'll be onboard.

Donna,

Why don't you come up to the Suite Lounge when you're ready to meet and we'll figure out what to do from there.

 

Adventure (date of handover)

Handover on 31 August. Possible that Mercedes Lafuente will be Bill's replacement around the end of October.

Hi Donna

A few of us here in Australia are thinking about starting a list like this on other social media, as many people using other types of social media these days (where there are closed groups) are always asking about the current CD list. We are also starting a group for the CL/SL and DL concierges.

We just wanted to check with you that you would be OK with this and any updates or changes that we get from the group we will post back on here to share with this community. Please let me know your thoughts. Cheers

Hi Donna,

Gordon Whatman is currently doing a two month relief on Ovation of the Seas.

I may be missing something, but any idea who is on the Allure beginning mid Oct? I hope Rhodes since we have never run across one from our general area of the world and it would be a blast, but the list re: Allure seems to deadend mid Oct?

Anybody know how Chris Brown is as Cruise Director? We are on the Dec. 10th Anthem Cruise. Thanks

From the current list, Mitch Merucci is the current CD and will be there until November 4, then Jimmy Rhodes returns on November 4 but no info is available yet on the length of that contract

EMPRESS: WHO IS THE CD?

ENCHANTMENT: Bobby Broughton April 6 until September 6, then Patricio Honores September 6 for 2 months

Bobby advised he is heading to Empress 11/11. He also just said Susan Adams is taking his place on Enchantment, not Patricio.

Still no news on who replaces Dan on Oasis?
