Anyone know what happened to CD Meylin?  She was on Vision I believe?


Balint Aron Gabor replaced her on Vision.  She hasn’t given an update on her new assignment.

Hello Royals,

 

Does anyone know how long Mercedes will remain as Symphony's CD? Any info would be much appreciated.  Thank you!

 

I was enchanted to meet you all! 😄

Hi, welcome to CC!

 

I don’t know an exact date, but she said on her social media that she will be CD for Symphony’s European summer, so I would assume that she may be there until at least Sept, if not until the TA.

Thank you for the warm welcome! ❤

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what does TA stand for? I am a high school teacher who is most definitely not updated on all the latest slang. 😂 To me, TA refers to a teaching assistant.

 

Terrible jokes aside, TA refers to time of arrival, I presume?

There’s a few different abbreviations that people use and I’m sure you will come across them, so make sure you have your dictionary ready! 😂

I believe there's an abbreviation key on Cruise Critic home page

Does anyone know who's taking over as cruise director on Oasis as Ricky Matthews leaves today?


I've been seeing posts that it's Katy McCullagh, but I couldn't get any confirmation.


Per Katy McCullagh, she taking over on the 28th.   So Ricky's replacement until then is still a mystery.
