Orator Posted February 12, 2017 #4626 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Happy to see that Mario Valentino is now a Hotel Director. We met him on the Solstice last fall and were very impressed. Mario was HD on Constellation last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted February 12, 2017 #4627 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Just boarded Equinox for 2/10 & 2/20 sailings. MC Concierge is the very efficient and personable Jole Jacoby. Attached is today's "In the Spotlight" for listing of key officers. DJ is DJ EQ. House band: Nu Image Classical duo: Emotions Duo Solo guitarist: Peter Henry Jane Sent from my iPhone using Forums As an FYI, the Guest Relations Manager is changing towards the end of your current sailing... Simona Stumberger is coming onboard Feb 16 to replace Monica.... FWIW. Have a fabulous cruise, see you onboard for the Mardi Gras sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvCruzn4Evr Posted February 12, 2017 #4628 Share Posted February 12, 2017 New Captains Club hostess on Eclipse is Paulina Ugalde I think she was 'in-training' when we were on the Summit in May 2015. If it's the same person, then she'll do fabulously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Princess Posted February 12, 2017 #4629 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Really hope he's still onboard on the 20th. He's very personable and quite visible around the ship and likes to chat. We really enjoyed his talk in the theater about his Hollywood stunt man days. Yes John Grantham, cruise director has an interesting past. I enjoyed one of his presentations that was in the main theatre sharing his life story. Very successful career. I will say, however, that he does the same things every cruise. We've sailed with him more than 6 times (all on the Summit) and every cruise over several years is exactly the same. Its getting really tired. I think like all business people, you need to stretch, get out of the comfort of doing things the same ole way and try new ideas. I hope he does! We choose to not sail on the Summit again this winter season because we wanted a change. We are sailing on Equinox and I hope we don't get a repeat of his 60's, 70's and 80's trivia again.

JaneStarr Posted February 12, 2017 #4630 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Any jazzy bands on the Equinox? Yes, and they sounded very good in passing by on our way somewhere last night! Called 'Ocean Blue' Jazz quartet. Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin5353 Posted February 12, 2017 #4631 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yes she left this morning from Aruba. She had wanted to go home but there had been some bureaucratic reason that kept the actual leaving day uncertain nearly up to the last minute. Thanks.

upwarduk Posted February 15, 2017 #4643 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think they do a month contractCaptain, Staff Captain, and HD do longer Maybe things have changed since our July 2015 sailing on Eclipse. Sue Denning was our CD and she was on duty until early November, when she left for her Christmas New Year break in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmoe38 Posted February 16, 2017 #4648 Share Posted February 16, 2017 We will be on the Summit 2nd week in August Will captain Kate be the captain? Hard to say for sure, but she left for vacation in December 2016. As I understand it, the contracts run 3 months on and 3 months off. If that schedule holds true, there's a good chance she may be off during the 2nd week of August. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had just missed seeing him while he was on board helping out for a few days on one of our recent cruises. Chandru was Future Sales Sirector on Constellation for New Years cruise. Ex CC Hostess Jonette was also in Duture Sales. Donna is in Future Cruises on Silhouette. Guess past CC Hosts have a home in Future cruises.
