sea goupie Posted December 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Just heard that John Barron resigned from Seabourn. Does anyone know why or what happened and who will be the CD on the 2014 Sojourn world cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony & Trevor Posted December 24, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 24, 2013 sea goupie. Thank you. Well what a shock. I thought John was on his Christmas holidays in England. We always felt, as many did that John and Nick Hales were the best. Sad news, Kind regards Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday golf Posted December 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2013 John was CD on our last cruise on the Quest. He was outstanding. Wish him well on what ever he wants to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenscroft Posted December 24, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 24, 2013 That's really unfortunate. John was CD on our last cruise on Sojourn in June, and we were hoping to see him on a segment of the world cruise too. We thought he was an excellent CD and loved his singing voice. Curious to know who will replace him on the world cruise. All the best to him in whatever he's doing next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefinch Posted December 24, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yes it is very sad. Jan Stearman will be CD on the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea goupie Posted December 24, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted December 24, 2013 anyone know if something happened or where he is going? We had him on our 2013 world cruise and loved, loved, loved him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenscroft Posted December 24, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yes it is very sad. Jan Stearman will be CD on the WC. Thank you. I don't think I'm familiar with Jan so will search some threads here so we know what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenclaw Posted December 24, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 24, 2013 John resigned from his position as CD almost 2 months ago. His last cruise was on the Quest, Oct. 6th, Barcelona to Piraeus. After over a decade working on ships, John decided to pursue another career opportunity which allows him to spend time on land. His new position is in the mass media marketing arena with public visibility, requiring some travel, but a lot more time at home to spend with his family.

Laylam Posted December 25, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thank you. I don't think I'm familiar with Jan so will search some threads here so we know what to expect. I am confident you will love Jan also. She is a lot of fun, has a wicked sense of humour and a great singing voice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamfordian Posted December 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I am confident you will love Jan also. She is a lot of fun, has a wicked sense of humour and a great singing voice as well. Your gain - our loss. Agree with Laylam about Jan. We had a great time with her as CD on Pride in the Norwegian fjords a couple of years ago. We were looking forward to seeing her again on Legend on 3 March from Hong Kong to Singapore and on to Dubai. Anybody with an ear closer to the ground in Seattle know who will be replacing her?

JaneBP Posted December 25, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Jane is wonderful. She has such a melliflous voice that she could announce the ship had been hit by an iceberg and we all ould agree, collect our Mae Wests and line up quietly. Her shows are terrific.

Ravenscroft Posted December 26, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Good to hear the positive remarks about Jan. Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centraltxtraveler Posted December 30, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We enjoyed having Jan as our CD on a couple of Pride cruises. She is quite energetic and a talented singer. We are looking forward to sailing with her on our LA to Sydney segment of the 2014 World Cruise that embarks this coming Saturday.

lildan Posted January 3, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Although I'm gutted that John has moved on to pastures new, Jan will be a fabulous replacement...I first met her on the Sojourn World Cruise in 2011, we were lucky enough to be on her table at the Gala Dinner in LA and that started a friendship that lasted the 111 days of the cruise.

cruisecrazyone Posted January 6, 2014 #16 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Love, love, love John and word is that he wants to be nearer his young family. He is going with QVC Britain according to the onboard "news links". Best of luck to him. BTW, Jan Stearman fell and "crunched" her shoulder the first day of the World Cruise. We met with Dan, her husband, and the accident had not yet happened. As a result, Jan has not been seen on the cruise. We all wish her the best and hold good thoughts for her speedy recovery. Meanwhile, we are in the very capable hands of Sophie and Heather. Everything onboard (as reported elsewhere here) is Seabourn (in other words perfect) so far. Wish you were here (433 onboard this segment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
