Denis Prguda was just promoted to regional Vice President of Fleet Hotel Operations.

Where will his base be: New York, Miami, Europe or where??

I agree with bob brown, you have more than earned a "Vacation Hero" recognition. Thank You.

Was there a fee charged for "Walk The Plank" and the "Toboggan Water Slide"? did you need to sign a wavier for the water slide?

Sounds like you are having a great trip. Thank you for taking the time to write, take pictures and post.

Thank You!!! I will be doing the Maiden voyage of The Getaway in January. I can not decide whether to spend a night in London or go straight to Southampton. Any thoughts. I will be coming from the Pacific Northwest.

Is it too soon to ask if anyone has inside info for the Breakaway Concierge for early November? I heard Ruth was going to be on Breakaway but i don't know if she will be there in November. I love Adrian also!

It is way too know where anyone will be by November. By November those selected to serve on The Getaway will be on their way to Germany to get Her ready to sail. There will be a lot of shift of staff between now and then.

As of today:

The Sun: Staff Captain Teo Grbic

The Gem: Staff Captain Zeljko Jurac

Jim,

Is it possible that Norwegian is "grooming" Denis for something much more interesting??

Mandy

Denis is amazing...going to have to book the Breakaway now!:D

From what I am understanding there will be a number of former "Pearl Family" members on board The Breakaway. I am thinking that I am going to have to go.

What about Denis p. from epic ..he was hotel manager ...where is he now?

It was just announced by Norwegian this morning that Denis Prguda will be the Hotel Director for The Breakaway.

I will also be interesting in seeing who the back up Hotel Director will actually be. I have heard three names so far and they are all Senior Hotel Directors.

We were with Florentina last week, I believe it is for more than a year. I beleive she is ready to retire from NCL and raise her 2 beautiful boys.

It was my understanding that Florentina was taking time off to complete her Hotel Management Degree and spend time with her family. Best wishes to her in both endeavors.

My understanding was that Jenny came The Gem on as the F&B for 2 months and then will become the HD.

Kadek was a butler. I never heard of him being a bartender. He is on until Ryan Rabe replaces him in May.

Do you know when in May Ryan will be back on The Gem?? Hopefully my cruise on May 11th.

Updates To The Sun:

Christian Schagerl-Restaurant Manager beginning today for 2 months

Milk Fildzanova-Group Service Coordinator/Access Officer

Staff Captain Teo Grbic- beginning 31 March for 10 weeks

1967 :p

We need to take this off board. My brother graduated from WA-HI in 1967, I graduated in 1965.

My e mail: mandychurch_65@yahoo.com

Thank you!

 

Hey, I graduated from WaHi. I'd move back in a minute if I could.

When did you graduated from WA-HI?

Anyone recently off or with recent knowledge of the Dawn's Officers?

Noel Chaves boarded The Dawn on Sunday as the Restaurant Manager.

Suzanne,

What do your sources know about The Gem? I would love to know who the Captain and Hotel Director will be in May.

Thanks

Mandy

Those off cruises this weekend March 9th and 10th 2013, do you have staff updates?

Thank You for bumping this back again.

Does anyone know who the Senior Officers will be on The Gem in May??

On Deck 5 across from the Guest Services Desk, is the Java Cafe (open 24 hours), a great place to people watch. Just off the lobby is Four Seasons Main Dining Room, more casual than the Seven Seas Dining (aft Deck 5). All the way forward on Deck 12 is an Observation Lounge with an outside deck. Most of the time it is very quiet. The outside deck is a great place to watch as She pulls into a dock or leaving.

The Sun is a wonderful small ship 1900 or so passengers and 950 staff members. I can hardly wait to be on Her again in October of 2014. You and your family should have a wonderful time.

Mandy

Looking at this info, any guesses as to who the Captain, Concierge, and CD will be on our 6/8 Gem cruise?

The Cruise Director should be Sinan.

There are a lot of changes coming with getting ready for The Breakaway. It will be hard to know who is where for a little bit.

I am looking to book a Panama Canal cruise for 2015. Haven't done it yet, can't decide Miami to LA or vice versa!

I have done The Canal in both directions. I much prefer from LA to Miami. That puts the Canal near the end of the cruise not at the beginning. August 2014 will mark the 100th Anniversary of the first ship to cross through the completed Canal. Sometime in 2014, the 2nd Canal should be open and operational.

I was just looking at The Jewel Roll Calls and found 7 both for 1013 and 2014. The M&G dates are usually set a couple of months prior to the cruise and posted on The Roll Call- no invitations issued by the cruise ship anyway. This is considered a private event and is NOT listed in the Freestyle Daily ( daily newsletter delivered to your cabin each evening).

I have usually cruised on Celebrity and Crystal, where you get an invite to the meet and greet in your cabin. Was very disappointed on my first NCL cruise as I didn't get an invite and then found out after the cruise that I had to be on Cruise Critic the day before the cruise to find out when and where it was. Well, unfortunately I left two days early for the cruise (sans computer) and, since I thought I would get an invite to the meet and greet, I missed it all together. Wish NCL would have the same invite system as Celebrity and Crystal. On my last Celebrity cruise, there were all the officers...Captain on down at the Meet and Greet. On Crystal, all the officers attend as well.

 

Hope for my cruise in November on the Jewell, I find out about the Meet and Greet prior to me leaving for the cruise.

Have you looked on The Roll Call section for your Jewel cruise. There is probably a Roll Call for your cruise established. Just join the conversation, the same as on this thread. I hope you will enjoy The Jewel and your cruise.
