Sounds like an episode of "If I was upon the Sea".  It has been a while since they did that. 

It was. :classic_biggrin: "If I was not upon the sea".

I'm pretty sure it was "If I were not upon the sea."  😉  😄

Saw in a crew youtube video that Bonnie Bai was on Spectrum as of the end of January. No idea when she signed on or how long she's there. Pre-pandemic, she was an activities manager, so also not sure if she was promoted or just filling in. Not sure we'll know for sure until mid-April when Spectrum resumes passenger sailings.

Looking at Bonnie's FB page, she has changed her job designation to cruise director so she should be promoted and not just standing in.

 

She seems to have been onboard since Sep 2021 based on photos posted.

Someone in another thread posted that Jeff Arpin just took over for Dan Whitney on Harmony.

Gosh. I would love to see Dan Whitney again. I have a glorious photo of him in a pink leotard, balloon chest and tutu from Song of America. :classic_biggrin: I will definitely bring a copy if we are on a ship with him as the CD. :classic_smile:

 

Ah...the old "Sea Sketch" that got banned from Royal Caribbean ships (for obvious reasons). I think Disney still does a toned-down version of it, but wow...that was a staple back in the day during the Farewell Shows. "Waterfalls" was another great old sketch, that USPH put an end to.  I guess they didn't like crew spitting water into each other's mouths. Go figure!

Just got off b2b on Harmony and Jeff did take over on 4/17.  He was very visible and humorous, which is more than most CDs these days.  Morning show was great.

Good to hear. CD has meant less and less to us over the years but certainly doesn't hurt to have a good one. Thanks for sharing.

OK...need help understanding this.  Can someone plot out these two comments?

 

Mike Szwajkowski said today that after the current TA on Wonder (ends 5-4-22) he’s moving to Voyager for four months before returning to Wonder in September. And unless I misunderstood him, he also said he’ll be the takeout CD on Icon.

 

And...

 

Voyager is currently Rob McNally.   He told us he goes home for 6 weeks on July 3 then comes back mid August for the crossing. 

 

From these two comments, it sounds to me that Mike and Rob will be on Voyager from 5-4/7-3.  Can we sort this out?
