DonnaK Posted January 2, 2013 Author #1326 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Donna, do you have any idea who will replace Drew on the Freedom on March 3? I was really hoping he would stay through our trip in March, but he didn't sound like that was going to happen. No info yet. We need people currently on these ships to ask onboard for us and then report back here. Anyone???? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 3, 2013 #1327 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No info yet. We need people currently on these ships to ask onboard for us and then report back here. Anyone???? lol Hi Donna, Not on board yet but, I just got an email from Fernando, from the Allure, as we sail on her next week. Typical email, welcome to Allure, do you need anything etc... so I asked him who the captain and CD would be. He informed me that it will be Allan Brooks, followed by "he is hilarious". Not sure if he is on now, or next week. I will inform you once we board and are settled in. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing on the Allure March 10th and would love to have Allan as our CD, so our fingers are crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you confirm first-hand from the ship, I'll update the list (such emails are often inaccurate, but this makes sense!) We loved Allan on Allure, by the way!

luckyprincess Posted January 3, 2013 #1332 Share Posted January 3, 2013 someone just posted that Richard Spacey will NOT be returning to Explorer on feb 1, is this true or no? I am sailing Explorer on Feb 1 and I love him!!! Cruisenlove I think that was me you were referring to!! :D I was going off of the info I have been seeing that Richard was gone from Explorer and Leigh is there now. With my luck (have heard great things and was looking forward to Richard!) I figured he must have left the ship right before my Feb 24 sail date!! :p I'm so excited that I'll finally get to see him!

Fat Bastard Posted January 5, 2013 #1338 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi all, First post. I have recently finished a 5 night cruise on the Legend OTS, and had Dan Whitney as the CD.This was my second cruise, before that I had Casey Pelter as CD on the Rhapsody in Feb 2012. Both did an awesome job. Looking forwards to the next cruise on 8th June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted January 6, 2013 Author #1342 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Do any returning cruisers this weekend have updates for us? Can anyone confirm that the scheduled changes actually occurred? Who is the CD on Liberty filling in for Rich Edwards' break? Is Anthony Richards on Adventure? Is Allan Brooks on Allure? Who will be covering Paul Lancaster's break on Brillance at the end of January, and what is the exact date of this changeover? Is Drew Devine on Freedom? Is Rico still on Grandeur? Is Dan still on Legend? When in January is Mitch starting his break on Majesty, and is there any info on Susan from Scotland who will be his fill-in? Is Ricky Matthews on Rhapsody? Is Joao on Splendour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
