Travel Junkie Judy Posted June 29, 2014 #526 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) 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! Hi, Confused?? Is it June 30 or July 30???? Greetings to you, my "North Texas friend. :):) LOL All of Texas will (or would) love Yannis. Who wouldn't!!!

Rare www3traveler Posted June 29, 2014 #529 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Now I'm confused. The Star leaves Copenhagen September 22nd and doesn't return to Copenhagen until October 6th. Harriet The last cruise of the season for The Star is a 14 day is a 14 day Norway and Iceland cruise returning to Copenhagen on October 6th and then She will begin Her journey to Miami and the winter season.

tumblew467 Posted July 15, 2014 #536 Share Posted July 15, 2014 HI, I have not received my pre- concierge letter as of yet. I sail in 39 days. I had called them today and asked if they knew who the concierge would be on my Aug 23rd sailing. They told me Virginia. Has anyone sailed with her?

Hikini Posted July 16, 2014 #540 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks for the updated (June) ship by ship list. I have never heard of Jasper Wade. We are on the Jewel in September and the last I heard, Julie (something or other) was on the Jewel. We've had her before and she was very lack luster. My least favorite CD thus far. No, a CD doesn't make or break a cruise for me, but they can sure add some interest to the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marivi Posted July 16, 2014 #541 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I will on Pearl.On September 21-28, I'll be traveling at Pearl. Can you tell me if the people who even mentioned those positions? Captain, food and beverage manager, hotel manager, beverage manager and Restaurant manager. Is there any way to know if that ship is one of the crew?

Alegeeter Posted July 16, 2014 #543 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Any updates for the Breakaway? Julie was the most awful CD I have ever sailed with. She is disingenuous, and such a phony. CDs don't make or break a cruise for me but I do like to greet and smile at the CD whenever I see them around the trip. With Julie, however, I found myself avoiding activities just to not have to hear her same scripted routine all the time. I know there are a lot of people on board but try to be a little less robotic. Julie: "Hi! Are you enjoying your cruise?" Me Day 1: "We're having a great time!" Julie: "That's great to hear. Are you coming to the party tonight?" Me Day 1: Yeah, can't wait! Julie: "Hi! How are you enjoying your cruise?" Me Day 6: "Bermuda was beautiful!" Julie: "That's great to hear. Are you coming to the party tonight?" Me Day 6: Nope.
