WHO'S ON BOARD: Officers, Staff and Crew

[C 2 C]

I asked Michael Fernandes aboard the EQ whether there is another Michael Fernandes and he said there is not.

 

Thank you. Could you perhaps ask him whether he was recently on Silhouette or who might be the Executive Chef on board Silhouette?

Do we know the Cruise Director on Infinity starting the first week of June? I know the current CD said on his Facebook page that he's heading to a ship in Europe, so I'm wondering who his replacement will be.

Thanks for the update.

When you get home could you share the names of the various musical groups on board?

Any word on who would be replacing Rich?

[maggie.1008]

Does anyone know how long Rich will be on the Solstice ? I cruised with him on the Summit in April and it looks like I will see him on the Solstice in July.

Thanks Arno.

Thought Rich Cleson was wonderful. We cruised with him on Constellation and Summit. Ashley was a very social CC hostess, liked by many.

 

Does anyone know where Capt Dimitrios is now? Missed him on the Summit but had him on the Constellation.

 

One thing we did love was the crew in Luminae on The Summit. Gozdae has a great team and we look forward to sailing with them again.

 

Happy Sailing Everyone!!!!

He joined Silhouette for the TA. Was certainly glad to get back to his ship.

Oh those Greek names...

Captain Manetas has on occasion been called captain Dimitri or Dimitrios by some as has captain Kafetzis.

Captain Manetas moved from Constellation to Eclipse years ago while captain Kafetzis moved from Infinity to S Class back to Summit back to Silhouette. I can' remember that he served as master on Constellation.

If this Esperanza is from Canada (Vancouver), she has been with Celebrity for close to 10 years starting as one of the activities staff.

Unfortunately, I am no longer on the ship, as I asked him on the last night of my cruise on EQ.

That wasn't any help. It just says the current CD is leaving 31 May. They are asking who the new one will be. My guesstimate would be Ken Mills as CD. :(

@Arno.

We just walked of Silhouette. Seen questions About two Ex chef.

No doubt: the executive Chef on Silhouette is Carlos Miguel Fernandes.

Thanks for the confirmation.

The CD rumor mill puts Ken Mills on Summit as Rich moves to Solstice replacing Ben Powney this weekend.

Thanks for the information and picture. Michael Fernandes, the Executive Chef on Equinox, is from India. I couldn't read the information for Carlos Miguel Fernandes of Silhouette, but it looks like Portugal? Anyway, the picture and information confirmed a different Executive Chef with the same last name.

 

Arno, let me know if you want me to post the "In the Spotlight" picture of the Equinox officers from the May 11th/April 27th cruises.
