Hey Cooper -

2018 WC -- Captain Mercer. Many of the 2017 staff except the CD. Do you have any word yet on CD? Thanks!

 

Sorry, no news - as of yet - on Amsterdam's 2018 WC CD - stay tuned

On a positive note; Nyron will be back as the shorex manager for that four-month voyage :D

Not sure if this is a position you have access to but wondering who the Location Guide might be on the Grand Asia. With the recent substition of new Japanese ports for the Korean ones, I think a good one would be a real bonus.

 

Thanks

Roy

Very interesting, Copper. :) Thank you. Is Captain van der Wal a regular on Rotterdam, and will he still be aboard when we sail on her in October?

 

Capt. van der Wal was one of the two regular captains of Veendam but took over on Rotterdam when Capt. Hans Mateboer retired a couple of weeks ago. He'll be on Rotterdam through early October

Copper, do you know if Captain Emiel Devries will be the captain on the December 10 Southern Caribbean cruise on the Koningsdam? He was our captain on the two trans-atlantic cruises we did on the Koningsdam, and we thought he was a very friendly, nice man. I got my picture taken with him when I got my copper medallion. It would be nice to sail with him again.

Yes, he's scheduled to rejoin his ship on that date; Enjoy that voyage!

Thanks so much for posting the current listing Copper :)

 

So Dag is back on the Prinsendam? Interesting. He has filled in a few times. Has he now been reassigned to HAL and the Prinsendam. Seems like a good fit :D
