DonnaK Posted January 21, 2015 Author #2387 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Who is replacing Jimmy after he leaves Quantum? Jimmy is Quantum's regular CD, so he will not be replaced. He will take a break of approximately 2 months in March/April. Then, he should be returning for another 4 months in early May. The fill-in CD, and the exact dates, have not yet been determined. Where is Dennis Charles? Dennis has been doing 2 month contracts, followed by 4 month breaks. He last did a double contract on Jewel (because Carly was reassigned), and he started his break on Nov 8. If he follows his usual pattern, he isn't due back until early March. There was a report that he might be going to Oasis, but that hasn't been confirmed, and there are other CDs already in place there. He also does behind the scenes CD training at corporate from time-to-time, so he may be working there now. He is one of my favorite CDs!

He did not mention when he leaves for his vacation or when he would return. Thanks for the updated info!!! Thanks....guess I missed that post. :o No worries - I miss them too sometimes! It can be overwhelming and confusing at times. So is Jerome going to be the CD for March 15 on the Allure? It's unclear what date Jerome is coming back from his break. The only info I have is that he will be doing all of the European cruises. He may or may not be coming back sooner than the TA, but that would make for a very long contract if he is really doing the whole European season.
