internetwhiz Posted January 26, 2018 #4480 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Just off Vision. Captain Michael Lindberg is heading home the first of March so Capt. Marek will be back early. Captain Lindberg will be off 3 1/2 months to be with family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SherriZ366 Posted January 27, 2018 #4482 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Unless he's already moved to Symphony. I thought Captain Sullivan was just doing a rotation on OA to get used to an OA class of ship before he went to SY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted January 27, 2018 #4483 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Normally both new Captains are on the ship for sea trials but only one (the inaugural Captain and in this case Captain Rob) is on the ship before at the yard and after hand over for the first cruises. The first rotation with Captain Rick taking over should be sometimes in May. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUISEFAN0001 Posted January 27, 2018 #4484 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Unless he's already moved to Symphony. Which prompts the question...who would take his place in the rotation starting March on Oasis...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreativeCruiser119 Posted February 2, 2018 #4491 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Given the 10-week rotation schedule, I’m guessing it’s safe to assume that Captain Espen will still be on Freedom for the March 25th sailing? I’ve never sailed with him before, looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never sailed with him before, looking forward to it. it's going to be close, March 25 may be a rotation date. The last rotation was 11 weeks making the date he goes off April 8. If they go back to a 10 week rotation, then he'll be off March 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, I forgot to erase his name and put in the ?'s I have a friend doing a b2b on Serenade. He mentioned that it was announced that Captain Ante will be doing one more rotation on Grandeur in March then moving to Serenade in June as master. He wasn't sure who would be going to Grandeur but wondered if it would be the current captain on Serenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask your friend if he/she can find out dates. I don't think Capt Kristoff would be coming from SR to GR as that would still leave 1 slot to fill on SR. Capt Tor is at a desk job in Miami and will not be master at sea for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted February 5, 2018 Author #4496 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Why is Captain Tor at a desk job for a few years? It's an ego boost to be a fleet captain. He was on ship, then based in Miami, then back to sea. They have to actually master a ship for a few years every 3-5 years. So he's worked at sea enough to keep his Master Mariners license so he's going back to what he did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that what he heard was Captain Ante would be on Grandeur in February so the 18th is possible. Capt Kristoff was, I think, a guess on his part but I found it interesting.

Most Seamen decide to work ashore to be closer to their family and children after many years at sea. They are not all fleet captains and work in several functions. To keep a licence you just need to make one trip and some courses every five years. Captain Tor was on ships for about the last ten years.

stacieg1011 Posted February 6, 2018 #4499 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Will Cpt Johnny still be on the Harmony April 13th week. I know he took over Jan 20 but don't know how long rotations are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted February 6, 2018 Author #4500 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Will Cpt Johnny still be on the Harmony April 13th week. I know he took over Jan 20 but don't know how long rotations are. If he does a 10 week rotation, the rotation date is March 31. He likes 11 week rotations so that would be April 7. So the short answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
