I don't sail on her until April. There may may 5 or 6 different EDs by then! 🤣

Anyone currently on Caribbean Princess that could ask Oliva Guthrie if she'll be continuing this summer as the Cruise Director on the Caribbean to Norway?  I had her last year on the Crown to Hawaii and really liked her.  Hoping she'll be on the Caribbean in June. 🙂

I'm not updating the list, since lex Vulcan is now leaving.

We were recently with Captain Marco Fortezze on the SKY. He left the same day we did 3 weeks ago and told us he would see us on the Ruby in April. He said he would be joining the ship in SF on the way to Vancouver and he would be Captain for our Hawaii cruise from Vancouver on April 14. I guess time will tell 🙂

I’m on the April 3, Solar Eclipse cruise, on the Discovery Princess. I have letters inviting the officers to our Meet & Greet. Do you know if these officers will be onboard for our cruise?

 

Thanks!

I saw on IG that Jayson from Enchanted Princess is now on Sun Princess with Corinne.  No mention of Dan.  I don’t know if Jayson is a third cruise director or acting as an assistant to Corinne.

[startedwithamouse]

Kristoff Greyling is headed to Majestic Princess for a couple months. He was supposed to join Discovery February 24th. He'll now join in April to relieve Cole Bockman. Cole will return to Discovery in June.

When in April will Kristoff join the Discovery?  We are on for the April 3 (eclipse cruise) and I was looking forward to having him as a CD.

Dan quit posting about Sun maybe 2 or more weeks ago,, and none of Corinne's or any other CD staff posts have mentioned Dan for 2 or 3 weeks.

Jayson was moved from Enchanted, seemingly last minute. Looks like he's Corinne's new assistant/partner/second.. 

Very curious what happened with Dan, he and Corinne would have made a great team.

Jayson is pretty fab also, he and Corinne will do wonderfully as well ..
