Beaver1975 Posted June 23, 2014 #501 Share Posted June 23, 2014 We sailed with Richard over Christmas. He was pleasant, but a bit smug - which is why he doesn't come off as approachable, IMO. And we had several service issues in both MDRs. I was very disappointed, especially when I've sailed with Sean, Yannis, and Denis. And we sail the Jewel out of Houston for Thanksgiving, and I'm hoping and praying for Yannis to get moved to the Jewel - and I told him that! He'd fit in great with the crowds from Texas! I have sailed with Richard twice now and found him to be quite charming. Granted he has a somewhat typical French standoffishness about him. But once you engage him he opens right up.

2red4u Posted June 23, 2014 #502 Share Posted June 23, 2014 My husband and Richard had a lengthy conversation about beer, one night. He went on to give him his card signed so we could try several ones he recommended , on the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDONCHICK Posted June 27, 2014 #522 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Correction Yannis returns June 30 I mixed up the dates. I think he is supposed to be there until October unless the change him midstream Yannis told me yesterday that he signs back on to the Star on July 30 "for about 2 months" then moves to the Spirit for 2 months. Right now, he's at home helping his parents in the remodeling of their house. Sounds like he's playing chauffer for his mom on her decorating errands! Judy - I so think the Texans would love Yannis, and I think he'd love them right back! I told him since I live in OK, we are sometimes considered north Texas, so we would be a good judge of that!
