According to this post,

the other captain on Explorer is Frank Martinsen.

I'm from his hometown in Norway and visited him on the bridge on the July 16 sailing out of Ravenna. He is definitely not on Liberty at the moment, and will be returning to Explorer after his current vacation.

It's definitely Captain James on Harmony (didn't get his surname but I assume MacDonald - from Tampa Bay). Just off and unfortunately was unimpressed - I trust every Captain employed by Royal to be good at the job, however a lack of Captain's Corner shows (to me) a disinterest in guests.

 

In addition, the tongue clicking noise he makes before every announcement is immensely grating, I really wish he would be more mindful of people who are sensitive to noises. Missed Captain Gus Andersson who was on Harmony before. But still a great cruise.

Isn't Captain Gus going to Utopia?

yes, I don't know if his last rotation on Indy was his last. I don't know how soon Utopia is to entering service. Gus might be doing one more rotation on Indy before leaving for Utopia.

Thanks -- Utopia enters service -- July, 2024.  We're sailing on her a few weeks later and then in December.  

Do you know who the other Utopia captain will be.  

[garrymorere]

Don’t know when he started but Captain Panos has taken over and is the Captain currently on this sailing on Mariner

I'm going with Sept 2 as being a rotation date since that is an 8 week rotation and plausible.

[bdubs510]

Captain Pehr is still on Grandeur. He didn't say when, but it sounds like he is rotating off very soon.

That’s funny. We love Captain James! His click-click is how he checks the mic and for those of us who have sailed a lot with him, we know to listen as his voice comes next. After the shutdown that click click was a beautiful sound to hear! He took us through hurricane Harvey and so many other sailings. Love his voice. Of course, the accent is a lot like mine. 😂

Same here!  Out of 43 cruises, he is our absolute favorite Captain!  We call him Captain Jimmy since he reminds us a lot of Jimmy Buffet - just a cool guy.  😎

We were just on the Liberty and our Captain’s name was Captain Mal that is what he said at our noon announcements.  Did not find his full name anywhere in our paperwork, sorry.
