The belief is that Capt. Claus will return to RD on 7/20 for 4 weeks. After that BW will come. Probably. We'll see.

Did anyone ever determine how many cruises or how many days at sea does Captain Wright have to complete as a Ship's Master in order to be recertified?

His license is active and would be so for a couple more years. He seems to be returning to sea by choice long term, not just to keep his license active as with bringing out the FOS and OOS. Once you have been at sea for a career, it is very hard to work ashore. I know this because I am also a licensed master. I have been home two years now and will most likely head back to sea this fall.

I don't see Captain Zini on the list. Is he taking a long term break or is something else going on?

He's been promoted and is now working out of the corporate office in Miami

Well a belated congratulations to Captain Hernan Zini. A well deserved promotion, I am sure that he will follow the lead of Captain Wright and be back out to sea as quickly as possible. I am sure he will be one of the Captain's of the new Project Sunshine class.

That's my thinking too and he'll be a great Captain to pilot RCCL's new class in my humble opinion

Every once in a while it's nice to stop and say "Thank you" to someone whose efforts have helped you out. So thank you, wolfcathorse, for keeping this listing up-to-date for many years. It is appreciated.

According to Adam's recent post of July 3, and contrary to popular opinion, it appears that Bill Wright is indeed returning to sea as a full-time Captain and not merely to maintain his license.

 

Captain Bill Wright, whom many of you know from his time as Master of Freedom of the Seas and then Oasis of the Seas during their respective debuts, has concluded his exemplary service as Senior VP, Marine Operations and will return to the fleet as a full time Captain later this year. Some of us think he heard our marketing message “The Sea Is Calling…Answer it Royally” and took it more literally than the rest of us. But it will be to the benefit of many guests and crew to have Captain Bill back on the water full time.

found out this week that my daughter is getting married 12-31-12....in Florida, not here in Michigan...she's already bought a dress and put a down payment on the reception hall...I guess I'll be very busy so please forgive the slowness of keeping this thread accurate.
