Uniall Posted October 27, 2014 #826 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Thanx for the SUN update. Do you know if Leah (concierge) will still be on the ship come mid January? How is she? Do you know who the butlers are and if they will be there mid January? Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. She is going on vacation in 3 weeks and will return on Jan 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newcruise12 Posted October 28, 2014 #838 Share Posted October 28, 2014 These were the officers on Spirit's October 9, 2014 sailing: Captain - Lars Bengtsson Staff Captain - Ingvar Bjork Hotel Director - Armando De Silva Cruise Director - Gio Artavia (Asst CD - Roberto) Chief Engineer - Predrag Pjovcevic Food/Beverage Director - Yannis Kazalis Beverage Manager - Rumi Khatao Restaurant Manager - Furtoso Gonsalves Exec. Housekeeper - Clyde Harbin Guest Services Manager - Humberto Abarca Cruise Consultant Manager - Fernando Colado Concierge - Karin G. I enjoy Capt. Lars' sense of humor. His wife was with him on the cruise, and in his daily announcements, he often kept us informed of how much money she had spent in port that day.
