Who's Your Captain & Cruise Director?

[C 2 C]

I need some more help to get this right:

 

Thanks for all those who have posted their reviews.

Hi C2C,

 

Wish I could be of more help for your "who's Where" chart. I do know that Cruise Director Andrea Olivieri who was on Journey has left the company. Good luck gathering your info.:)

What difference does it really make as to who is on board. Seems rather pointless to track this as they switch ships and contracts so often that you can hardly plan a cruise around who the captain is going to be etc.

For people who cruise a lot or those who are just returning to a ship they have sailed on before, certain staff members have added to the pleasure of cruising. I for one enjoy tracking the captains, the cruise directors and Captain's Club host(ess) who greet me by name whenever we return to our home away from home.

Hi C2C,

Thanks for the information. I'll try and track down who will have replaced her. Elisha Oltmann on Constellation last month, was being promoted to Future Sales staff.

I agree. So, Arno, thanks for keeping this chart current. When we return from the Infinity B2B, I will provide you with updates.

Hi again C2C,

 

Andrea Olivieri is a he not a she. A very handsome and well educated Italian. He was by far the best cruise director we have ever met. Met him on Journey in November.

Hi Arno

 

How are you both?? Still cruising like myself. My last was in February/March on the QM2 after 2 night in NY Love it all!!

I am booked to do the NZ and OZ cruise on the 23rd November out of Auckland. Any idea who the Captain will be. Been on Millennium a few times last being T/A last March.

 

Many thanks regards to you wife>

Hi Sue:

 

We were on Century in January and Constellation in February/March and enjoyed both ships. Next up is a Galaxy Transatlantic and Century visit to Norway and the Baltic.

 

I think there is some shuffling of captains in the Celebrity fleet so the future master of Millennium is a mystery until someone posts some up to date gossip..

Just started reading this. I agree, certain staff on a ship make it more memorable. Any idea who the Captain and Cruise Director is for Century right now?

We have sailed it twice before and had Captain Terry. Not sure of his entire name, but he was delightful! We just knew him as Terry.

We are leaving this Monday on the 5 nighter.

Thanks,

Jan

Any updates on Millennium?

 

Thanks!

Arno.........it's been a long time since we have talked. You sure do a wonderful job of keeping track of the Masters and senior staff. Brings back some very good memories.:)

Hi Floris

 

Looking at your dates for the Millennium I reckon you will have finished your cruise by the time I join her on the 23rd November. I chose this date so that initially I would spend a few days in Perth and still be home for Christmas.

Now my Brother has talked me into spending Christmas and New Year down under so will be away until the 6th Januarry.

 

Perth is a beautiful city and has a wonderful climate more so than the East Coast. The have what they call the Freemantle Doctor. This is a cooling wind which comes in from the Indian Ocean around 4pm each day and cools the city.

 

It will still be hot but I am looking forward to it.

 

Continue to enjoy your cruises. I loved the QM2 and have had 3 cruises on her since last summer.

Jan, I sailed with Captain Terry as well. To be honest with you

I am not even sure he is still working for Celebrity.

That was in 2003 and 2004. I was on Century in December

and he was not the Captain.

Again, not sure what ship or if he is on an X ship anymore.

[JanBethC]

Thanks Lois! Sorry to hear that Capt. Terry may have sailed on to other ships. He was the friendliest of all Captains in all the years I have cruised. Except maybe when I was younger and single!

Thanks!

Does anyone know if Jim still works for Celebrity? He was one of the best CD's I've ever had. I think he is is still on the in cabin tv on embarkation day talking about the norwark virus and such! I know he stepped out of the CD position but since then I haven't heard anything else.

I believe he's working at corporate HQs in Miami.
