We will be boarding the Bliss out of L.A. on Apr 21, 2019.  Does anyone know if bartender, Clarense Bennett (AKA Chocolate Cowboy) will be on board for our sailing?  We met him in July 2016 on the Escape and he was such a wonderful gentleman.  We have heard rumors that he will be returning to the Bliss soon (if not already.)  Looking forward to an update on Mr. Bennett's present assignment.  Thanks in advance!

He was on the Bliss last November as was at the mojito bar

Three weeks ago, we were docked in St Thomas next to the Bliss and I had the opportunity to ask a guest sailing on the Bliss whether or not Clarense was on board then.  She certainly knew about Mr. Bennett but seemed sad to report that he was not on their sailing.  She did say however that it was rumored on board that he would be returning to the Bliss soon. Thanks for your reply, brer111.

He is at home right now on vacation.  He will be going back to the Bliss then going to the opening team of the Encore.

I can’t remember when he said he was back on board, I’m sorry!

Now that we have located Mr. Bennett. Does anyone know what ship Bong is currently on? He was our favorite bartender working at the Sugarcane bar on the Escape. 

He was on the Bliss in January, Waterfront Bar outside Mojito Bar.

Bong is currently on The Bliss.  He will be going to Germany late Summer to open The Encore.

Is Bong the bartender that flips the cocktail napkins with the back of his hand?  If so, loved him at the Mojito Bar on the Escape.

YES, Bong does all kinds of tricks and entertains his crowd.

Yes, he has been our all time favorite bartender. Very entertaining. We will be on the Joy for the May 11th Alaska sailing. We were hoping he would move to the Joy for its repositioning.

From what he says said, Bong will be part of the Opening Team for The Encore.
