DonnaK Posted February 25, 2015 Author #2607 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Just returned from our cruise on AOS...the CD is Tino Carrillo Lopez. He's a young, energetic guy. AOS? Adventure? Allure? Anthem? It's Adventure, and he is the Activities Manager who was filling in as CD for one week only so the regular CD could attend the conference. I had him on last week's list, but Mercedes is back now, and he returned to the AM position. I agree...he was on the activities staff on our Quantum cruise, and he was great! He does a fabulous Michael Jackson impersonation! Edited February 25, 2015 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyntonBeth Posted February 25, 2015 #2608 Share Posted February 25, 2015 AOS? Adventure? Allure? Anthem? It's Adventure Donna, I actually knew what was meant, but I wish posters would either spell out the ship's name or use the "official" abbreviations. It seems to be more prevalent with EN and EX and somewhat more ambiguous, especially now when they are both deployed from PCN. Soapbox off now. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we all need to use the official two letter abbreviations to avoid confusion. (If I were paying closer attention, I would have realized that you were the poster, and you surely knew) I also wish posters would look back a page or two before posting.

We are booked on the 28th September Canaries cruise and am hoping he is on board. Hard to say. It depends on when he starts on Anthem (he should be reporting early to prepare for its take out).

emen822 Posted February 25, 2015 #2614 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I was on the Brilliance 2/14-19 and our CD was Chris Hopkins. Didn't read up enough to see if he was permanent or filling in.
