Paulette3028 Posted March 11, 2016 #952 Share Posted March 11, 2016 So, I guess that means he's not going to Adventure. I wonder to whom Mercedes will be handing off CD duties tomorrow? And, if he is in Hong Kong, I wonder which ship he will be joining???? I just looked at his FB page and I could not see anything that said he was going to Hong Kong....so it is confusing.
