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.

April. 

 

Cole is fabulous and then some as a CD. You'll be in fun hands with either one.

Re-posting the chart because Post #1308 has a weird format.  Looking to get the chart "clean" again.

Also, left out intervening changes since last posting. 

 

DIAMOND - Giuseppe Franchina is DRO per post #1292.

ROYAL - Esther Shelton is CS per post #1294.

DISCOVERY - Tony Ruggero is back as Captain per post #1295.  Paul Ciobanu is DRO.

SUN - Jason Douglass moved from ENCHANTED as an extra CD. Dan France status is unknown.  Post #1299.  See also Post #1302 re: Dan France unknown status.

MAJESTIC - Kristoff Greyling joining for a couple of months as CD per post #1300.  

DISCOVERY - Cole Bockman remains until April.  Kristoff Greyling to Majestic for two months and then returns to Majestic to relieve Cole.  Post #1300.

RUBY - Caroline Desbuquois will be ED beginning Mar 9 per Post #1307.  No info posted as to who will be ED on Enchanted as of that date ("Frenchie" is posted there right now according to the chart).

CARIBBEAN - Gary Golding on as CD per Post #1308.

 

I have not included hyperlinks for everything.  It is not an easy thing to do.  Whoever started that can feel free to make a revised chart.  IMO, the chart should be changed to have the text at top of each box, but I don't see that edit control provided in Cruise Critic and not planning to extract to Excel, fix and re-post.

Please do not attempt to update the chart with a single entry.  You need to have included all of the changes since the last posting of a chart.  Otherwise, it just becomes out-of-date and harder to fix.  Thanks for trying.

I think I am going to give up at trying to keep track.  Yesterday, Caroline Desbuquois was going to the Ruby on March 9th.  Today she told me she was just informed, no, she is going to the Grand.  Date unknown (to me).  Sigh...

I just asked for someone on the Ruby to take a picture of the board for me. We'll see who it is...this week. 😉

Won't make a difference.  Alex Valcan is still there, already on the picture board.  But i just got word from Alex.  He is staying until sometime in May.

I want to know about others. Some are not even on these lists. 😉 But seeing the picture of the board will allow for updating the list.

True. I posted that. But I'm wondering who has changed, which is why I  asked for a current picture. Thatvwas from 2 cruises ago. We doneva couple of b2b2b2b, and each cruises there were changes.  Are you onboard? If so, could you provide a picture?
