internetwhiz Posted August 15, 2018 #4926 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Isn't that quite a come down from Oasis to Majesty? Not if it’s something he chose and will enjoy. I am thinking, especially with Oasis class ships, that the same ports over and over, year after year, would get monotonous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could come back to whatever he wished to and this was his choice! New ports, New old Ship with a totally different orientation, different group of cruisers and even a New cook!

And I believe he was captain of the Majesty 2004-2006, before he went to the Mariner. mac_tlc Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachammo Posted August 19, 2018 #4934 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not sure I understand how the rotations work. I'm sure someone has explained it on this thread before, but I couldn't find it. We will be on the Vision October TA and was hoping Captain Marek would still be on board.....??? Thanks Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Usually the captains work for 10 weeks and then have 10 weeks off. Somebody posted that Captain Marek joined Vision on 6th August so if he does the standard 10 weeks, he will go on vacation on or around 15th October.

Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk It is doubtful he will be on the TA. He should be getting off as you are getting on. He is scheduled to be back on Vision once it gets to NOLA (unless he is given a different ship). Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VS995 using Great that you’re spending quality time with your mom. I was able to cruise with my mom several times before traveling became difficult for her. My niece is joining me on the Mediterranean/Greek Isles right before the TA. My DH won’t fly so I’m going solo on this leg of my trip and it’s my first TA! Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

wolfcathorse Posted August 29, 2018 Author #4950 Share Posted August 29, 2018 hold on folks, straight line 70 mph winds last night, we have many downed trees and power went out about 8 pm...not supposed to get it back until 11:30 pm Friday night. Good thing we have a generator but we don't run it all the time. The farm's tool shed was blown onto the neighbors garage, both demolished and the irrigation pivot is all twisted, good thing there's insurance. Calf hutches blew away, leaving the calves. They're not hurt but we had to round them up to put in an extra pen. Good thing we had an empty one. I'll post the chart when we get power back.
