bmwman Posted November 11, 2013 #626 Share Posted November 11, 2013 NCL has been increasing the rotation to other ships. Initially, it appeared to be done to staff the Epic, Breakaway and Getaway. It now seems there may be an additional component to break up any mindset "that's MY ship and replace it with "that's MY NCL" Great comment - there are loads of changes coming up and this is going to happen as more ships are in service. The issue is that NCL will find it harder to find staff that have come from the old NCL school as more positions become available. Also as the economy improves more land based travel groups will be hiring top staff (and NCL has the BEST at the moment in the industry IMHO. Read the accounts - NCL put it under the risk note about top staff!!!! They know it and this is something we are going to have get used to. A sad fact but a realistic one.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusingalong Posted November 17, 2013 #628 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Ruth David is concierge until 12/8/13 then vacation HD Tony Winkler very nice man FB Vikram aka Maharajah until 12/8/13 then vacation Staff Captain Ingar Captain Kostas Fafalios Suzanne This was for the 10/27/13 Cruise. There have been NCL changes since then. For one, I'm pretty sure Captain Kostas Fafalios is now on vacation, so are there any updates for the 11/24/13 NCL Star? Maybe Captain Harstrom, just a guess. Could someone cruising now Post if Tony Winkler, Vikram(Maharajah)will still be there and who is the Captain & Staff Captain. Grateful if I hear Before we leave for Los Angeles!

Barb Nahoumi Posted November 18, 2013 #635 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'm just curious, I've seen other threads with similar subjects. Why are passengers interested in knowing who the staff is in advance of sailing? If it was someone you didn't know or didn't like, would you change your cruise? Call me curious from California No, it wouldn't change my mind one way or another. I know that most of the officers and staff do a wonderful job, of getting the ships and their passengers around safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsty_r Posted November 19, 2013 #636 Share Posted November 19, 2013 i'm just curious. it won't change my plans one bit, but its nice to know if theres someone you enjoyed on a previous cruise that you have the pleasure to look forward to once more.. :) I would probably prefer to find out the musical acts than the officers.

Uniall Posted November 19, 2013 #637 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) There is 1 (maybe 2) who would cause me to think seriously about canceling a cruise if they were aboard. But there are 5 or 6 who would motivate me to book the cruise just to sail with them again. Edited November 19, 2013 by Uniall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidybabe Posted November 19, 2013 #638 Share Posted November 19, 2013 i'm just curious. it won't change my plans one bit, but its nice to know if theres someone you enjoyed on a previous cruise that you have the pleasure to look forward to once more.. :) I would probably prefer to find out the musical acts than the officers. The entertainment on the cruise intrigues me more, although there are some staff members we love and enjoy sailing with, but we book according to date and itinerary , not staff . But if torn between two cruises, the entertainment could be a deciding factor Safe sailing Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver1975 Posted November 19, 2013 #640 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Suzanne - do you know if he'll still be on board the Jewel for Christmas? Carmen, Capt. Lars Bengston (sp?) left the Jewel when we debarked on October 27th. I believe the Captains are on two months cycles. So that would have the current Captain aboard to around the 27th'ish of December.

mellygo Posted November 25, 2013 #646 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Can anyone tell me who the Concierge is on the Sun? I have read Leah but the pre concierge desk just said it would be Patrick. Got off the Sun on 10/31, and Leah was also leaving on vacation. She was our concierge and did a great job for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesgirl51 Posted December 2, 2013 Author #649 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So if I remember correctly, Capt. Lars Bengtsson is the funny one? We were on the Pearl in 2010 with a Capt. Lars, and he was hysterical. Lars Bergstrom is also a hoot. Current Concierge on the Jewel is Elvina De Meneses, a lovely woman who for at least the last year, has been Assistant concierge under Ruth and Adrian among others on the Epic and the Breakaway.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
