NJ&Ozzie Posted April 14, 2014 #1351 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I can confirm that Jerome was getting off the Liberty on April 12th. We were on. Liberty April 7-12 and he made several references to leaving. Also there was a farewell party for him in Chops on the last night when we were having dinner there. Cuddy (sp?) was the activities manager on that cruise. They were very funny together on "The Morning Show." Hey, Thanks for the info. We are on the Liberty (Cozumel) Apr. 26 & for the TA May 1st. Do you know if Cuddy is staying on? He was with Drew Devine on Adventure for our TA & they were great together. Cheers, NJ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Allure the first week of April and Ken said he would be going to Quantum in an advisory role, but he didn't indicate how long that might be. He was great on Allure.

DonnaK Posted April 24, 2014 Author #1367 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Is it too early to find out who will be on the Allure in August? We are on a B2B (8/24 and 8/30) and we are hoping to have Allan Brooks but won't mind if we have a different director for each week. Still waiting to find out Ken's schedule, which is unpredictable because he's going over to Quantum and we do not know exactly when he is leaving Allure. Also, we don't know if Allan will be taking over the 4 month contract that Ken had, and if someone else (or a variety of people) will be assigned the 2 month contract that Allan is currently doing. Or, will Allan stay in his current 2 month position, and someone will be replacing Ken. As soon as this is announced, I will update the list.

rodenboy Posted April 24, 2014 #1369 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Still waiting to find out Ken's schedule, which is unpredictable because he's going over to Quantum and we do not know exactly when he is leaving Allure. Also, we don't know if Allan will be taking over the 4 month contract that Ken had, and if someone else (or a variety of people) will be assigned the 2 month contract that Allan is currently doing. Or, will Allan stay in his current 2 month position, and someone will be replacing Ken. As soon as this is announced, I will update the list. Thanks for the continual updates :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
