EMBFlyer Posted August 20, 2017 #4326 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Any word on if the Captains on Freedom will be changing when she goes to San Juan? I'm really hoping Captain Espen stays aboard. If I've done my math correctly, he'll be there for our cruise next June. Would love to sail with him again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard54 Posted August 20, 2017 #4327 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I am guessing he is doing a short term stint on Oasis so he is prepared for Symphony. Capt Rob must be the takeout captain for SY then, and won't return to OA. He said that he will be on Oasis thru December.

travelgoddess1 Posted August 21, 2017 #4328 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Captain Sullivan will be leaving the Explorer 8/25. He will be taking over the Oasis on 10/1. I will post new Explorer captain in a few days. Sent from my SM-P607T using Forums mobile app I wish Captain Sullivan the best! Personally speaking, I'm disappointed he will not be there next month when I sail. I guess I will see him on Oasis, however. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted August 22, 2017 #4329 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hopefully Capt. Sullivan will still be on Oasis at the end of November/Early December. I'm doing a B2B and it would be great to have him as the Captain. It seems like they are pulling the most social/friendly Captains and putting them on the Oasis Class ships.

CTCruiser74 Posted August 22, 2017 #4330 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'm happy to hear that Captain Sullivan will be Master on our 10/15 Oasis sailing. I've heard great things about him. Last time we had Captain Rob. He was a great Captain as well. I really enjoyed his informative weather and general updates from the Bridge.

Joe12 Posted August 24, 2017 #4335 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Or maybe she will join her DH in retirement ? I thought she was too young to retire, and it is a shame if RCI loses their only female Captain. Unless, of course, a Staff Capt gets promoted!

suzyluvs2cruise Posted August 24, 2017 #4337 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Capt Lis took a Leave of Absence to spend more time with her new husband. I guess you could say she's enjoying an extended, well deserved Honeymoon. :hearteyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiergirl Posted August 25, 2017 #4340 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Anyoneknow if Capt Busto will stay with AD when it changes home port to NJ or will hemove to FR when it takes over in SJU? the captains usually stay with the ship Thanks. I thought that was usually the case but since Capt Busto had previously been Master of FOS and lives in PR thought maybe he would switch to FOS. Just curious. Thanks for the info! Any word on if the Captains on Freedom will be changing when she goes to San Juan? I'm really hoping Captain Espen stays aboard. If I've done my math correctly, he'll be there for our cruise next June. Would love to sail with him again! Hopefully someone on FR or AD can find out the info for us!

Do you know why he left?Can't wait to hear all about your trip since I leave next Friday! Captain Rick is one of the captains for Symphony of the Seas. He's headed to Oasis of the Seas to get familiarized with the Oasis class ships. Capt Rob (also assigned to Oasis, but currently on vacation) is the other master given Symphony of the Seas.
