Rick oh TY Rick, I had the rotation as being 6-10 since Allure was supposed to be doing 11 week rotations...but maybe that was just for 1 rotation a while ago. I'll update the chart tomorrow.

wolfcathorse Posted June 4, 2012 Author #535 Share Posted June 4, 2012 are their 2 captains on the mega allur and oasis?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? yes, all ships have 2 masters assigned to them, one is on vacation while the other is working on the ship. They switch off roughly every 10 weeks. RCI has a policy of moving masters around after they've been on a particular ship for about 3 years (could be more, could be less!).

ChipLondon Posted June 8, 2012 #542 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Bill is the Captains Captain, previously the main man that always took out the new ships, like Oasis. He was based in Miami HO as SVP Marine Operations, but has decided to go back to sea. He is a great Captain and person, always around the ship, very social. We like him alot.: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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted June 9, 2012 Author #545 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Capt Bill's ship will be Radiance of the Seas. To keep your master mariner license you have to actually master a ship every 3-5 years. So its time for the mighty captain to return to sea! Wish Capt Nik would decide to keep his license and go back to sea for a spin around the block! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nik would go back to sea.......we would be on his first cruise!! Like some other captains that have a unique quality, Captain Nik is one of our favorites. I have met Captain Bill Wright, and I know that there are some old timers here that have sailed with him many times, before corporate moved him ashore. He has the sea in his blood, and Patti's favorite ship, now is going to have her favorite Captain.......all I can say is......Jim....good luck keeping her ashore for any length of time!!:D Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patti, I've sailed with him on a pre-inaugural and watched him on the various documentaries about RCI ships and he is handsome, well-spoken, and a great representative of the line. Now, if he should offer any opinions about the Sunshine Project ships, where they will be deployed and what features they will offer, I'd be sure to pay attention, because of his credibility and the fact that he, among all the Captains in the fleet, is in a position to know what he is talking about.:D Does anyone know how long he must return to the sea to retain his status? Will it be a lengthy process or can he meet the requirements with just a sailing or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
