suamom Posted October 13, 2014 #2069 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We are going on the Vision on the 23rd. The name Paul Rutter sounds familiar. Wondering if we have cruised with him before. Does anyone know what ships he has been on the within last few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted October 13, 2014 #2071 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We are going on the Vision on the 23rd. The name Paul Rutter sounds familiar. Wondering if we have cruised with him before. Does anyone know what ships he has been on the within last few years? He was on Enchantment of the Seas when it was in Fort Lauderdale in the late 2000s before she left. He was on Radiance the summer of 2013. He was on Grandeur this summer. He's working all around, filling in on different ships all the time.

Rare mr walker Posted October 13, 2014 #2072 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Donna, re Mariner. We recently (Oct 3) disembarked Rhapsody in Sydney. Ken Jones left Rhapsody that day (replaced by Graham Seymour, I heard) for 2 months leave and was to then take over on Mariner for 'Asian season'.

suamom Posted October 13, 2014 #2073 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Gina. I guess maybe we haven't had him. We had Mark on both of our Enchantment sailings and we were on the Radiance in 2014 and 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
