We just got on Radiance today and in his welcome on board announcement, Captain Rumen mentioned that he joined the ship today.

 

Corinna

thank you for the info, my chart was a month off. I missed an entire rotation!

Thanks so much! Will definitely look at what you shared. Just made it to the hotel in Rome after a very long day of travel.

Thanks!

I can confirm that an excursion to Mary's last known house is definitely NOT strenous!

Is it Capt Ervin as master?

I was going to get one of those collapsible washing tubs (as seen on FB or Temu) but I thought someone recently complained they were called to the naughty room for the washing tub they had in their suitcase. Not quite clear on if it was confiscated or not.

This is true.  There is a post on a Harmony page discussing it and it has video.   

hope it's not too serious for Captain James, he's a nice guy.

So is there a chance Captain Johnny might be coming to ICON?

No. Capt Rick Sullivan on Symphony retired, Captain Johnny will be needed there

Captain Kate on her Day 94 short You Tube showed the X Beyond passing Icon OTS and she face timed with Captain Teo and he waved back..  So, Captain Loy did not get on April 20th and not sure about 27th either.

 

I am on this coming week and will let you know.  Perhaps RCI is doing 3months like Celebrity which is 12 weeks.

thank you!

Captain Filip Norberg from Sweden is a new Captain on Rhapsody of the Seas. We were onboard April 13-20. He has been a Captain since February 2024. 

yup, that's my Filip! Met him when he was Chief Officer on Sovereign in the mid 2000's. I wonder if he rotated off April 27, that would put him on 11 weeks from February.

I was never asked to take rings off.

well I was asked to on Harmony a couple of years ago. Times change and different ships with different personnel apply rules the way they see fit. I held my friends rings as she went across then she came back to me and held mine while I did it.

no. Anything that can fall off is removed. I had to take everything out of my pockets and take off my rings. My mother's ring wouldn't come off and they got a supervisor to try and get it off. When he couldn't he decided it wouldn't fall off, no kidding

Change of plans that quick! 😆 

 

Kens’s getting to Hideaway early. In that case, I’m coming back here early for time on deck when it’s not as full. 
Usually when I come up on deck in the morning there’s waiters walking around so I get a morning mimosa or two. Not the case here, not a one waiter and the pool bars are closed…weird. 

that's because they're all shipped over to CocoCay to work there. They go before guests to set up and be ready.

Was Capt Ante Cavala the captain?

Went to guest services and there were no photos and we asked the crew member in line and he said that on Channel 1 that there is a message from the captain, but we've been watching for about 15 minutes and nothing.  He said the captain's name, but it has hard to understand.  Perhaps Captain Henrick?   We're going to keep looking! 

Thank you for trying, Marchand28 figured it out. It's what I have on my chart, with Capt Marek  rotating off May 5 when you arrive at your destination. Not sure about that part though!

The captain said his name in an announcement, but I missed it.   Is there a way to check on the App or on the TV?

 

Alas, no. Sometimes around Guest Services on a pillar somewhere they post pictures of who the Executive Team on board is, like the Godmothers portrait. If you have loyalty status you can ask the Concierge. Only other option is to hit Guest Services when there's nobody in line and ask them.

you're making me hungry. Anyway, please post who the captain is, I want to see if my chart is correct.

Please post who the captain is. I want to verify my chart.

but since you posted here, please find out who the captain is for me!

Can you find out who the captain is? You may have to ask at Guest Services. Is the Captain Rob Hempstead?

When I read "floorpan" I thought the OP was referring to something involving the shower, day plate in the elevator, or the toilet.

thanks to the testimonials here, all I did was re-enter my current password and I have access again to the website and app. I did NOT want to come up with another password that I had to keep track of!

Royal is not in business to do us any favors.  They will gouge us as long as it’s beneficial to the stockholders. Don’t look for anything to change as long as they’re selling out cruises. 

Beneficial to stockholders?? Did they reinstate paying dividends? Besides a measly OBC, the dividends was the only benefit.
