I wonder if Susan from Scotland is the same Susan from Scotland who is currently on Voyager? She had a great rapport with Gordon.

Apparently Gordon is not going back on Voyager when he returns from his break. He doesnt yet know which ship tho.

I did not see Leo out and around the ship, but then, I had a bout of food poisoning the first night and "restarted" my cruise on the 3rd day. My roommate, however, enjoyed the cruise to the fullest and didn't see Leo either. This was a charter cruise and the bands just introduced themselves when they got up to play. There weren't any of the "normal" cruise activities either.

 

Leo was the CD on one of my Splendour cruises and I do remember thinking that he was personable and did a nice job.

Adventure OTS - Anthony Richards starts January 6

 

 

Anthon Richards is not on the AOS yet. AD Jerome is acting in both capcities and according to inside sources (my daughter who is a cast member on the ship) he is doing a really good job.

Is AD Jerome a new CD? I've not heard of him? Is Anthony Richards still going to cover for Drew at some point? :rolleyes:

Captain Johnny. He was the first RCL captain (on the Mariner) and we wil never forget him and his motorcycle. He was the most friendly, visible and funny Master ever. Would love to cruise with him again. :)

He is one of the two Captains assigned to Allure:

Is AD Jerome a new CD? I've not heard of him? Is Anthony Richards still going to cover for Drew at some point? :rolleyes:

 

So Anthony Richards is now on AOS. DD says he had taken a year off and is trying to get back up to speed so to speak. Jerome is a relatively new AD I guess only 1.5 or 2 years and his goal is to be a CD so it was good experience for him. He speaks like 7 languages. wow.

Paul Lancaster's replacement is supposedly Mercedes from Columbia. He is supposed to leave 2 weeks from Saturday. This is from his staff. I'll see if I get a chance to have him confirm this info.

 

I'm wondering if someone lost track of weeks since 2 weeks would be in Feb and the staff member did say the end of this month. I would guess the 26 but that is only a guess.
