I Am Thrilled to Make the Announcement About a New HAL Officer

I am excited to be able to let all my Holland America friends know that James Deering one of Holland America's favorite Hotel Managers will be returning to HAL and will be the Hotel Manager starting in early October on the Noordam. :)

Congratulations to Mr. Deering!

That's awesome news, Lisa plus HAL's gain!:) Thanks for letting us know!

That's nice.

Enjoyed Mr Deering so much and am glad he's returning to HAL. Wish he was scheduled to return to one of "our" ships though!!!

Any idea how long he'll be assingned to the Nordam?

Thanks Lisa,

That's great news..:) Now we'll finally get to meet him & looking forward to it..

We'll be on the Noordam beginning Nov. 12 & see that there are over 60 posters on our Roll Call..

Cheers....:)Betty

That is good news, indeed. James in a one-of-a-kind. (No disrespect to other HMs, but he is just top-notch.)

General of the Armies, Douglas A. MacArthur, once said "I shall return!" He did and now James Deering has done the same. "Welcome, Home!" We are glad to have you back among us.

Thanks Lisa,

Betty, he said he is scheduled to be on the Noordam till the first part of February. Of course things can always get changed but he will definitely be on the Nov.12th sailing. He is looking forward to sailing a bit of Europe then the crossing.

I have heard so many good things about him. Perhaps we will get to meet him on the February 6th sailing of the Noordam.

Hi Sage :) I hope so too, I just do not know the date he is leaving in February.

Lisa:

You are always the bearer of good news.

This is excellent news!

Congratulations, James!

Thanks for posting the great news, Lisa! Welcome back Mr. Deering! :)

That's good news indeed Lisa. Thanks for passing it on. We really enjoy sailing with him. Welcome back James.

There is a lot of hand wringing over on the Princess boards. Mr. Deering has quite a rooting section there.

I was just going to say the same thing, Druke!

You beat me to it!:)

Our favorite HM and it is great that he is coming back. Looking forward to seeing him in the future.

Thanks for the info Lisa!

Looks like we'll see him (after such a long time) on our Thanksgiving cruise.

Looking forward to meeting him again aboard Noordam this winter!

Thanks for the news, Lisa!

It is all about timing

Tremendous! After sailing with him on HAL, then Princess, I certainly look forward to seeing him back on HAL.

I certainly wish him all the best on the Noordam.
