My apologies to Copper 10-8 for going off topic.. Cheers...:)Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serendipity1499 Posted September 9, 2013 #178 Share Posted September 9, 2013 John Hope you don't mind but used your name in vain.. There is a brand new poster to Cruise Critic by the name of Swankg, who would like to get a message to CD Anthony Choice.. I suggested he contact you on this thread & perhaps you would know how he could get the message to him... Cheers..Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcfad2 Posted September 10, 2013 #179 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have been reading this thread and am assuming that John (copper 10-8) works or has worked for HAL. Is that correct? It is nice to get info on the crew for any particular sailing. I have sailed with HAL a few times now and recognize some of the people mentioned. Thanks, John.

R&CCruisers Posted November 19, 2013 #194 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I always wonder why it is so important to know who the Captain will be. I cruise for the itinerary and the fun of being on a ship---and it is always a nice surprise to discover that the Captain might be one I know and have sailed with before.

Mr. Zivkovic was the HD on our Zuiderdam cruise in May. You've got the wrong ship!;) Boban Zivkovic is still one of two HD's on Zuiderdam; the other is Frank Ulbricht. Ryan Whitaker is a staff captain on Zuiderdam Capt. Robert Jan Kan will have Noordam on 01/27/14 and the HD is scheduled to be Mark Pells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USN59-79 Posted December 7, 2013 #199 Share Posted December 7, 2013 In October, when we were on the Prinsendam, Capt. van Schoonhoven had to leave the ship for a medical condition. We had a temporary captain for a week, then Captain Gunderson came out of retirement to command the ship. Do you know if Captain van Schoonhoven is now OK and will he be returning to the Prinsendam?

elycelynne Posted December 9, 2013 #200 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I actually care more about who is at the piano bar, on Noordam, January 27. As do I. Right now there's some guy named Lee, and I know that "Barry from Boston" (Barry Rockland) is supposed to board on Feb. 7th (the day that we 11-day'ers disembark). Is "Lee" still going to be there on the 27th? Also, is Shane Michaels scheduled to be the CD for that sailing? And would you know who the DJ is going to be? (Hoping for Jazzy!)
