Current Captains Con't

[Trainer]

Just a note to tell you how well Capt. Rune handled the problems of Hurricane Sandy. I was on Oct. 22-26 and we had to come in to Port Canaveral early the last night. He kept us informed and avoided as much of the storm as possible. Although it was very rough I think he did a great job.

[A&L_Ont]

We had Captain Johnny on Allure this week and he kept us well informed. We skipped Falmouth and had what turned out to be a great sea day around noon.

 

He kept us well informed and I felt very safe.

Glad to hear all went well - sounds like another good cruise. BTW - did you win that car in your avatar at the casino??

If by win, do you mean Andrew bought it - than yes he did. Hahaha

Quite a nice toy! Can I send you my Christmas list?? Travel safe!

Yes, but aren't you a bit to old to believe in Santa. Does a cruise on a ship, not in a car, top the list?

 

At FLL and our plane just came in and we are soon about to board. Hope Sandy is kind to you.

Monarch sailed yesterday with a little less than 500 guests on board.

Hi,

 

New to this thread...... can you explain how the 2 named Captains work? Is the first one a senior?

[Ocean Boy]

Hi,

They have equal standing. Each ship has two captains who alternate taking command so one is working while the other is on vacation.

[PattyG12]

so they are not on the ship at the same time?

 

Adventure OTS - Capt Ole-Johan Gronhaug (started rotation 7-29-12)

Adventure OTS - Capt Ole-Johan Gronhaug (started rotation 7-29-12)

Adventure OTS - Capt Ron Holmes

 

Correct. One comes on as the other leaves.

Allure OTS - Capt Johnny Faevelen (started rotation 8-19-12)

Allure OTS - Capt Tommy Nyseter

 

How long is a rotation?

[wolfcathorse]

Allure OTS - Capt Johnny Faevelen (started rotation 8-19-12)

Allure OTS - Capt Tommy Nyseter

 

How long is a rotation?

 

Rotations are usually 10 weeks. The 2 masters work out their own schedule. A rotation can be as short as 8 weeks and as long as 14. Capt Johnny likes 11 week rotations so Allure is on an 11 week rotation. Then of course, there's the situation where a vacationing master may be asked by RCI to come back and fill in on another ship in an emergency (death in the family, birth of a baby, etc).

Capt Frank Martinsen is no longer on Liberty, he was only there for 1 week as Capt Bang had a meeting in Miami. This is according to Capt Bang's wife, Darlene.

[Topo Gigio]

FYI I'm on the Mariner TA right now and Flemming is the captain!

Just got off Rhapsody yesterday and Capt Rob Hempstead was also getting off and flying home, he told us at a tour of the Bridge. Not sure who was replacing him.

[TomCat32174]

Just returned from Allure this afternoon, and Capt Tommy came onboard on 10/28.

 

This was my first cruise with Capt Tommy and I have to say, he was great. Had me and my wife fooled during muster as we both thought it was Capt Johnny as they both sound awfully alike.

Hi WCH... I can tell but Capt. Ban brought the Vision back to FLL on 11-2. However I don't know if Capt. Lauritzen took over after that... the few I talked to did not know with any certainty.

Capt Frank Martinsen was still on Liberty throughout the transatlantic crossing 27 October to 10 November :confused:

Can confirm that Capt Frank Martinsen was aboard for the entire Liberty TA. No information was available on Capt Bang's status.
