wolfcathorse Posted December 9, 2012 Author #927 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It seems like capt Yngvar is back onboard Legend. http://www.tourism.gov.ph/Pages/20121122PHextendsFUNwelcometoLegendoftheSeas.aspx that's an old article from last October. I need to know if he's currently still assigned to Legend or another ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted December 9, 2012 Author #928 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wolfcathorse, How does the rotation work? For example is Captain Johnny at home after they switch off? I wouldn't think that he is just hanging out on board, catching a few rays. Do you know when they would switch rotation, for example 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off? We sailed with Captain Johnny through Hurricane Sandy, and were very impressed with how he kept us well informed, especially through his own TV channel. We are back on Allure in early January and if would be nice to sail with him as Captain again. Thanks for your insight and keeping this board active. Andrew They go home and be just like anybody else. They become husbands again, dads, grandfathers...they catch up on the "honey-do" list, they travel. they do what you're doing right now. Being on the ship is their work. What do you do when you get home from work at night? Capt Johnny prefers longer rotations (11 weeks). Rotations can be anywhere from 8-12 weeks, emergencies or unusual circumstances can make a rotation longer or shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted December 9, 2012 Author #929 Share Posted December 9, 2012 By chance, does anyone know what will happen to Captain Flemming Nielsen when the Mariner goes to Asia for good? im assumming that the crew will not speak English for the Asian vacationers. The front of the house (Hotel Dept) will be bi-lingual Asians. The back of the house (Marine Dept) will be English speaking. English is the universal maritime language. So being in Asia does not mean that the Bridge Team have to speak Cantonese or Mandarin. Its the other way around! The harbor master office has to have someone that speaks English!

Rare TPKeller Posted December 9, 2012 #930 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Do captains stay on board during dry docks? Enchantment is in dry dock right now, will that affect the rotation schedule for her two captains? Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted December 9, 2012 #931 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Do captains stay on board during dry docks? Enchantment is in dry dock right now, will that affect the rotation schedule for her two captains? Theron They stay on and rotate as usual. The captain and hotel director are as busy or busier than usual making sure the 24/7 mission is accomplished perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theron Yes, they will help where needed and oversea the entire operation When Radiance went in for enhancements, Captain Clause put on overalls and worked right along with everyone else.

mommabean Posted December 12, 2012 #934 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wow! Capt. Michel showed up 5 days into dry dock? That's so odd since Capt. Karin specifically said she would be there for dry dock and for the first Dubai cruises. I hadn't noticed when you posted the change. Isn't that sort of unusual for them to change during dry dock like that? Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted December 12, 2012 #937 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) LOL, who said my rotation date was right? The timing would appear correct. But with all the talk about whether or not she was "allowed" to be captain in that region, I thought I'd ask her about her scheduling. It sure sounded like she'd continue on a bit longer. Although I'll admit it was a bit like pulling teeth - being a non-dentist. :) She's just not the easiest one to get info from. Of course the Dubai cruises go on until April of next year so she'll eventually make it there at some point - assuming she doesn't go to another ship. Nothing surprises me anymore.
