WHO'S ON BOARD: Officers, Staff and Crew

[Happy Cruiser 6143]

Ti-Ann is no longer working the ships:(. I appears form her Facebook page that she is working for a recruiting company in Mamila. I have been told she did not like working in Guest Relations, some time back CCH was moved from Sales to Guest Relations.~ Rick

 

Interesting. Wonder what the problem was with GR? When I was on the Connie in November and December, Bogdan was going to be working with the butlers to transition them from being in housekeeping to guest relations. Makes sense to me. Butlers are all about keeping the guests happy.

She's on vacation. There is a staff freeze from early November, through New Years for the holidays, no staff changes during this time.

 

Happy sailing,

Jenna

 

Thanks! She's a doll and her husband is nice as well. I think he was the bar manager on Summit. She introduced us to him one evening at one of the parties with the officers.

I think he moved to security, but I definitely could be wrong.

 

Happy sailing,

Does anyone know who the cruise director will be on Infinity for our June 7 cruise? I know a lot of you thumb your noses at those of us who like CDs, but there are genuinely a couple of them (Sue, Alejandro) who make the cruise experience so much more fun!

We are on Reflection now. No Chandru.

 

Hi Arno, Can you tell GRM "Miggy" that her friends in Baltimore say hello. Thanks.

Far too far in advance to be certain, as schedules change, due to leave , illness etc.

There is also the small matter of a 'spare' CD from Century to accommodate.

I wonder if John Grantham will be 'retired?'

John just reported to Century Sunday in Sydney and is currently enroute to Singapore. ~ Rick

Yes, he did tell us last August during her farewell sailing from Vancouver he'd be back and take to the very end in Singapore 19th April. I hope they assign ''Big John'' to another ship.

Captain Georges is also back on Century and will be Master to the

( bitter ) end. He was not too sure about his future direction...has a wife and 2 young boys, all living in the UK ( Cambridge) and that might redirect his ambitions.

Cheers to you and Flo

Anyone know who the captain and cruise director will be on the Silhouette in March?

We had the most fantastic Captain on Summit last May to Bermuda. "He Greek" 1 of his favourite sayings. He was that hilarious he could have a show of his own. I would consider booking a cruise if he was the Captain just to meet him again

[wwcruisers]

We just got off Eclipse, earlier this month. The staff names on Arno's chart are still current. Although I don't know about the MC Concierge. Some other info that folks might be interested in:

 

Entertainers:

 

Perry Grant (although I understand he's going on vacation after this week);

House Band: Sonata

Jazz Quartet: Soundtrack

Solo Guitarist/Vocalist: Dustin Versteeg

Classical Duo (violin & viola): Beacon Street Duo

 

We don't go to a lot of shows in the Theater, so I don't remember who the "Guest Performers" were.

Where's captain Emmanuelle?

That's too bad. We sailed with her several times and she was wonderful.

 

I don't see Ashley on the list either. She was on the Summit last time we sailed with her.

 

 

As per Lionel, Ashley s/b back in February. :)

When not on vacation, Graeme is normally to be found on Constellation simply because that is the ship his wife has a position on.

 

We are just off Constellation. Graeme's wife went on holiday at the end of the cruise and is returning to a different ship, can't remember which one. Graeme said he was going on holiday in a couple of weeks, but returning to Constellation after that. He hopes they will be back on the same ship again before too long.

Anyone know who the current captain is on the silhouette? I've read there's been a change over recently but not by whom!

[rvlandandsea]

Alejandro just joined us as cruise director onboard the Constellation January 16th. He is our favorite having sailed with him on the Infinity and Century.

As HostAndy shows above, HD is Christophe, albeit he goes home 2nd week in Feb.

He should be replaced by Mark ZELLER who is currently HD on EC, and then Darren TILLER will come off vacation to take over EC again.

Arno, if you have room could you also add the Staff Captain position as well. Thanks.

[Chazteach1]

I'm working on one as of this weekend but there are major holes in my information.

I look forward to a new chart too.... Thanks for your work on this.

First, I want to thank Arno for starting this thread and maintaining the information. It is not an easy task especially when many ship updates are not posted in a timely manner and everyone expects that a miracle chart will materialize in real time but very few step forth to post, compile, and/or organize information. I always read this thread to see who the officers will be on our cruises and what ships officers I know are on. So again, thank you, Arno, for doing this for us.

 

We just got off the Constellation yesterday after our January 16th & 24th b2b cruises. Here is the information of senior officers from the "In the Spotlight" sheet and also Captain's Club host and house & dance bands.

 

Master: Captain Tasos Kafetzis

Staff Captain: Christos Trifyllis

Chief Engineer: Nikolaos Politsis

Guest Relations Manager: Alana Abrams

Hotel Director: Marcela Salum

Cruise Director: Alejandro Tortorelli

Food & Beverage Director: Bernard Mazet

Executive chef: Andy Bouchard

Captain's Club Host: Graeme Kelleher (but going home on vacation after 4-night Jan. 29th cruise and will be replaced by Lionel. Graeme is expecting to return to Constellation after vacation)

House Band: The Shenanigans

Dance Band: Deja Vu

 

We particularly enjoyed the Captain, Cruise Director, and Captain's Club host. They are a hoot and fun. I can still hear Graeme's voice "No, don't go!" as he pulled my suitcase backwards when we were in line to depart yesterday morning.
