Sandy, I guess we won't make it then.:), we are still in the lower group soon to make Platinum.;). I couldn't find a listing for the CD on our 1st cruise with Princess in 2002, but for 2006, 17 day Panama we had a John Clelford and he was good.

 

Jill, he was due to leave at the end of our 2008 Hawaii Cruise, but heard he came back friefly before moving on.

Bring back Karen Maybury as CD

 

Karen Maybury did not impress me. She is a lovely gal, but not a dynamic personality....JMHO....:) Did any of you every have Jeff Arpin as a CD?? It's been many years, but he was an absolute stand out! He was a true comedian, with personality up the ying yang.

 

We've been away in Manchester staying with our son, DIL and GD this weekend. Now Beth is fast asleep and our DIL has gone off to work a night shift as a Paediatric nurse. We have had a lovely time with them and hope to see them once more in October before our 6 week trip away.

 

Tomorrow we have a 200 mile drive home, all busy roads. One job for this week is to get round to the Set Sail Pass. You all seem to be way ahead of us.

 

Corinne

 

So glad you had a great w/e with Beth (and her parents, too, of course.) Have a safe drive home!!

FAO Karen,

 

Sorry I couldn't reply on Skype, it popped up on my screen that you were online there. We were watching the cricket. Quarter finals of a competition for one of the team's where John is a member, but in the south, whereas we are north today. He would have gone to see it if we had been at home.

So agree with you both, can't stand the man Ken Rush. I don't know how he has the nerve to be on a TV program and say he hasn't found the right woman yet!!!! He never will! Allan Brooks was no better either IMHO.

HILLARY.....That was my comment about the good old days when the docs came in the mail and we all did the Doc Dance. Loved those days! But I still do a happy dance when I print out my Sea Pass.....:D And when I'm old and gray, I'll be twirling my cane around when I print it out.....LOL!!!

 

Add one more vote for someone who is not impressed with Ken Rush. He was the CD on our very first cruise back in '94--he was very full of himself even back then!

Poor Ken Rush his ears must be burning....I have no idea why some put him on a pedestal.... the only time I saw him actually talk to some cruisers was on a program when the Oasis came out and he was walking down the Promenade and stopped to talk to these people because he knew the cameras were on him.... he takes out all the new ships and is highly thought of obviously, by Royal Caribbean. I like a CD that is hands on, has a great personality and takes time to know his passengers...

Peter or who ever is familiar with the Liberty, Kate is interesting in knowing other then the main dining room, what place could hold our luncheons. It was suggested to her by RCL, we possibly could use Brassiere 30. She wrote me and felt she may have to split up the luncheons due to the amount of people signed up, which presently is close to #150 for the 1st lunch and for Portofinos, around 110 possible with new additions. She is awaiting further contact from RCL on whom to contact. to set it up. Thank you.

Juan Diego was alive and well on our Radiance Cruise last year. Not sure if he is still there, funny, but I really do not care for him at all. My DH gets along with him just fine but in 3 cruises Juan Diego and I have just not hit it off!

We have had Juan Diego a couple of times, he is wonderful. I

haven't heard he left. Missed him by a week on our cruise last November, Georgina took his place. She was wonderful also.

Hi Gay, I'm not familiar with any other large size dining venues. I know there are several 'private' dining rooms like Velasquez and Bernini on deck 3 which are on either side of the main Rembrandt dining room. As the ships facts state that the total capacity of the MDR is 2101 with Rembrandt (652, deck 3), Michelangelo (500, deck 4) and Botticelli (883, deck 5 used for MTD)that leaves 66 for both of these 'private' dining rooms and having seen Velasquez, I reckon that would be about right between the 2 venues. BTW we reason I've seen Velasquez is that it was used as the 'left luggage' bag drop for those of us using the late departure option in May.

 

"Brassiere 30" is an option in the main Rembrandt dining room available at lunchtime on sea days. This menu features "Brasserie 30", which is designed to allow guests to have a complete lunch in 30 minutes. Guests can order dishes which will be brought by the waiters and/or you can get things from a buffet. If it is the same as when we were onboard in May, the dining room is only open for 90 minutes from noon to 1:30 pm.

 

The numbers will have to be split if you want to use Portofino or Chops as the total capacity according to RCI is 100 and 104 respectively.

 

There is a description of Brasserie 30 here http://www.beyondships.com/RCI-LOS-Tour-6.html
