Current Staff on Voyager

... and most things have been mediocre.

The net is that we are enjoying it.

 

Most things mediocre? I don't like hearing that. Please tell us more!

Homelover, thanks. I was hoping that Martin would be in Compass Rose but I guess no such luck. :(

 

Who is Ray? Is he new to Regent? Did he move up through the ranks?

 

Again, thanks,

 

Marc

Martin has been gone for nearly a year now. Quite a pity for Regent customers. Some backroom nastiness from what I have heard.

Luis has replaced Martin and he seems to be every bit as good as Martin. Sure glad to be back on Voyager!

Ray Solaire is a veteran of the QE2 & was part of her entertainments staff at launch, he was also Silversea's first CD at their launch in '94 & a mainstay through until a couple of years ago - mostly on Silver Cloud.

 

From what I gather he has been freelancing in semi retirement on Oceania & has been moved over to Regent to try & retain those that sail both Silversea & Regent.

 

He's a pro & easily the best CD I have sailed with, and very much of the old school.

[Wendy The Wanderer]

Can you characterize what "old school" is?

There is a whole thread devoted to that man with pluses and minuses. See http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1055177

There are changes taking place on the Voyager between now and the end of the year. There are many CC members that will be sailing in the next three months. I'm sure they will advise you of the current crew.

 

I know for sure that the Head Chef is moving to another ship. Captain Dag may not be here after a month or so. Not sure about the others. I wouldn't worry about this too much -- the crew is wonderful and I can only imagine that it will remain positive in the foreseeable future.

[Wendy The Wanderer]

I'm sure. Totally normal, especially as people like Dag take breaks before the World Cruise. Does not worry me a bit.
