We were on Mariner in January and did talk with Luca. He will not be going to China. I know he was going on vacation, but can't remember if he was going to make the crossing. At that time he did not know what ship he would be on. He was going to email me when he finds out.

Capt Yngvar Knutsen is on the Mariner currently. He took over on the Jan 13th sailing. I will be on the boat Sunday and can confirm he is on the boat but I asked in our cruise's meet and mingle thread and got a response from someone what had dinner with Capt. Knutsen on the Jan 13th sailing.

We were on the Mariner and had dinner with Captain Flemming Nielsen on January 25. There must be some confussion.

Sally

We got off of the Mariner yesterday, had a great cruise. :) The weather was wonderful everywhere. Friends boarded yesterday.

Sally

She's going into drydock and being refurbished, Diamond Lounge, Park Cafe, flat screen TV's, the Oasis upgrade, then she'll be sailing out of Galveston starting Feb 2014. Heard a rumor that she may even be here year round....fingers crossed...

Hope that happens!!! We will be on her next February.

Sally

Could someone please tell me where you go to watch Mariner arrive/depart. It used to be at Pier 28 on Galveston cams, but that is no longer available. :confused:

Sally

I only want to look at snow and "romp" in it. Never want to live with it, too much work. It does get really "warm" in Houston. But I just stay in the shops ad spend money. :p

We get some snow about every 10 years or so.;)

Capt. Claus is going back to Navigator. He leaves RD on August 17. I don't know his sign on date but he signs off NV on Dec. 15. I'd cut it down the middle from the other captains' start date and Dec. 15 and figure that's about the sign on date.

 

I will take a guess at Oct 14 as a return date. Capt. Claus hasn't had a whole lot of home time lately so I'd guess they'd give him at least 2 months home and then 2 months back on a ship. Just a guess.

I'm really sorry he won't be on the Radiance for our crossing to Sydney. We have been on board with him several times and have sat with him at dinner. I was really looking forward to seeing him again.

I understand that Capt. Wright is a great Capt also, so hope to get the chance to meet him in Sept. :)

Sally

Anything can happen. But Bill Wright should be there for the crossing in Sept. He'll be there until late October.

thank you

Does anyone know if Capt. Wright will be on the Sept 24 sailing from Honolulu to Sydney? I have seen him on TV and am looking forward to meeting him.

Sally

WOW, how great is that. Looks like my prediction came through. :D

I don't know Bill Wright. What ship has he been on? It sounds like you like him, so that is really good.

Sally

Someone else will be there until Capt. Sindre returns supposedly at the end of October. The question is "who?" I know how you feel.

Thanks for answering, now I just hope he is good. Although we have never really had one that wasn't. :rolleyes:

sally

The captains usually rotate 10 weeks on/10 weeks off, although they can make arrangements between each other as long as they are not on longer than 14 weeks or less than 8 weeks. **Note** the info is only as accurate as people post who their master was. It may be off by weeks, even months

 

 

Who's coming to Radiance?

 

We will be on the Radiance in Sept to Sydney. Does anyone know if they will have a different master by then? I am so disappointed that Captain Claus won't be on board for that crossing!

Sally

Will Captain Claus be on Radiance for the Sept 24 crossing to Australia? I truly hope so, and also Juan Diego and Beresford, and Jennie in MYD.

Sally

So are you saying you think Capt Claus might still be on RD this summer when Capt Sindre goes home? I know on April 4 Claus said he planned to be in RD in August and that there was a reason the 10 week rotation wasn't always reliable. Then just says later Sindre said the baby is due in late Sept. Which is why he will be home until late October. It all fell into place in my mind (for what that is worth :) )until I saw Claus on the NV list.

 

So if I understand correctly, Capt. Claus may remain with RD until early 2013. Is this correct?

I hope Capt. Claus will be on the Radiance for the trans pacific, Sept. 24
