rubrrick Posted May 23, 2012 #477 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yes I do Beth, when did Capt Rob start his rotation on Rhapsody. Beth will have the correct answer, but my gut tells me Hawaii. Gina, what Captain Rob told my DW is that Captain Sindre is off, and his reliever is Captain Rick Sullivan. This is coming, second hand, as it comes from my DW, whom you know!:D I look for more news!

rubrrick Posted May 23, 2012 #478 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I could add a footnote, but thnk this is better. Normally........and that word is overused............captains rotate to different ships on or around the two year mark. One of the surprises, if it's true, is Captain Rick Sullivan, who I originally met on the Navigator of the Seas on a TA, and both my DW and I just love this man, went from the Navigator to the Monarch for two plus years, and then to the Rhapsody, for now about 3, and maybe coming up on 4 years So much for the 2 year rotation.......but I see captains that are being rotated this spring, and some have been told to expect rotation, but are not moved. Some of us like to cruise because of the captains, and now Royal Caribbean, and its upper management, once again puts the customers on hold..........while they scratch their a$$, figuring a better way to get into our pocketbooks. At some point, when it's just not worth it........because of Miami I'll quit giving my money to Royal.........and give it to Celebrity........same company, but with a great boss!

Rick Do you mean WHEN Capt. Sindre is off? Because he's not off now. He's there. He arrived on April 5. Because of the upcoming birth of his first baby he needs a certain rotation in order to be there for the special event. Capt. Claus had agreed to the longer rotations which means Sindre should be on board until almost mid July. Captain Rick as a reliever is believable.

Is Rob supposed to be on RH (Karen) or RD (Rick)???:confused: yeah, I was confused about that, too. Was Rick's wife discussing the other ship (RD) with the current captain on Rhapsody? At one point it sounded as if Rick thought Capt. Sindre had been on Rhapsody which was never the case. Truthfully, I think it's still completely unknown who will be Sindre's reliever on Radiance. Well, someone may know. But no one around here it seems. :) I can't wait to find out. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted May 23, 2012 Author #482 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Beth was the one who told me Capt Rob was on Rhapsody, she could have gotten her R's mixed up. I'll have to check with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, she didn't get her R's mixed up.:rolleyes: Heard from Capt Rob. He said "Yes, they asked me to come to RH 6 weeks ago on short notice after I had only been home a few weeks on vacation. I am not sure how long they will need me here." I guess I should stop watching the deals.

tigers2425 Posted May 24, 2012 #485 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Allan Brooks is the current CD on Allure, however Ken Rush reported that he'll be returning as CD for the June 10th sailing through at least the September 2nd sailing. So, it should be Ken Rush unless there is some delay in the changeover. Here's the link to the current CD thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1590430&page=19 I think Captain Johnny is on allure. How is Ken Rush as a CD?

If he's been on for 6 weeks already, then he'll be ending his rotation in 4 weeks My hunch - and it's only a hunch - is that he'll be there longer than this rotation. You made me realize there's another way to look at this - if he was on vacation for only a few weeks, and then on RH for 6 weeks already, he should be due back at FR very soon, if, in fact, it was intended for him to go back to FR at all.:confused::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I was confused by your post. It seemed you wife was discussing with the captain of RH what is happening on RD when Capt. Sindre was mentioned by you.

That will make it at least 16 weeks on board for Capt. Sindre. :confused: I thought captains weren't to be on the ship for longer than 14 weeks. When he arrived on April 5 he said he would be going home by mid July (about 14 weeks) returning at the end of October since the baby is due the end of September. Does this now mean he will be home until sometime in November? Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
