Not sure. Paul hasn't even started the contract or gotten on the ship yet. It isn't even confirmed that he will be there for 4 months, but that's the usual length of his contracts. Perhaps John Blair will be back to cover Paul's next break?

Looking for info on the impending handovers on Navigator and Vision.

 

Sorry, Donna. I never got a chance to ask Mike about his schedule. I don't go to that many events and he seemed to flee the ones I did go to.

[packercruising]

Resubscribing! Our last RCI was 2/15

[Candleonwater]

Just got off Grandeur this morning. Was told the Blairs are on the ship until mid July?

Just got off Grandeur this morning. Was told the Blairs are on the ship until mid July?

Did you hear that directly from the Blairs? Because that was their original schedule, but then we got word that a new Activities Manager was assigned as of May 21. I will put them back on the schedule.

 

Thanks for posting!

No problem...I had the same experience on my last cruise, and didn't have opportunities to talk to the CD.

[Candleonwater]

I'm curious about this activities manager being assigned to Grandeur? It's not Andre, he told me he won't be back until July. My information wasn't directly from the Blairs, but one of their staff. Told me Paul was coming in July.

Just saw this on Jamie Fentiman's FB feed:

"So my medical is still not clear and now I have to go have tests........before I can be clear to get back to work. I am so annoyed, I feel great in myself and ready to get back to work. Now for the first time in the 5 years working for Royal I'm going to miss the ship I was meant to be on this weekend. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

 

A little blip in the schedule yet again. Hoping he gets the OK soon to return to the work he loves.

Mariner OTS - I believe his name is Fang Lixin (not Lixin Fang).

[jancl57]

Jewel OTS - Dennis Charles July 17 for 3 months. John Blair expects to return from his break in mid-October.

 

If Dennis Charles starts July 17 for 3 months.... who is the CD currently?

[coneyraven]

Interesting, so that means the Blairs would NOT be going back to Grandeur. Hmmmm
