Emperor Norton Posted March 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Dear Emperor Norton, Thank you for your recent correspondence with Seabourn regarding your March 15 and March 22, 2015 Legend voyages. During your two voyages your Captain, Hotel Director and Executive Chef will be: Captain, Andrew Pedder Hotel Director, Laurent LaLouer Executive Chef, John Alex Ian Pugh I've sailed with one of them before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted March 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Happy to report our beloved David E. will be the CD on the final 2 Legend cruises. I've teased him as to "you sing Nat King Cole better than Nat King Cole!" Master Pedder is so much fun....as is Hot Man Lulu! Have wonderful safe sailings.

stamfordian Posted March 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Executive Chef, John Alex Ian Pugh I've sailed with one of them before And how did he rate as a chef? Interested to know as we join Legend in Barcelona for her final, final cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted March 2, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Unlike Jes I didn't see him going from table to table asking for feedback (hopefully this will have changed), nor did I see him around the ship as I did Jes. I don't think his menu food was at the same level as Jes or Pasquales (though I think part of the problem with his food were the people serving it. The HM was the anti-Karl and Richard was not doing a stellar job running the assistant maitre d's or servers.) On the other hand off menu items I requested were excellent. He was overwhelmed with our shopping with the chef tour (to be fair I think there were about ten of us who signed up and another 15+ that just showed up). Speaking with him after the shopping tour he seemed more reserved than Jes. I can't recall where it was he last worked on land but from what I can remember it was a spare no expenses shop for what you want every day type place. I can see how there could be a transition going from that to what's available on a ship. I'm hoping that since then he's adjusted more to the cruise kitchen as some of his food was very good.

italycruiser Posted March 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just to clarify - does this mean David E. will NOT be aboard for the last Caribbean cruise on March 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted March 2, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm not sure. The last I heard he was going to be on the final 2 cruises as a guest CD rather than acting CD. I'm not sure about the 15th though. The club was quick to get back to me with my staffing question, drop them a line and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylam Posted March 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just to clarify - does this mean David E. will NOT be aboard for the last Caribbean cruise on March 15? We are currently aboard the Quest, as is David E Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamfordian Posted March 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just to clarify - does this mean David E. will NOT be aboard for the last Caribbean cruise on March 15? Not sure about 15th. However am assured DEG will be CD on crossing and final Barcelona to Rome cruises on Legend with Ashley Edwards as ACD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martita B. Posted March 3, 2015 #11 Share Posted March 3, 2015 My understanding is David E is in Maryland today with his Mother who is ill. He remains on leave until he boards the Legend for her last 2 sailings. Martita B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marama Posted March 3, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Simon has left Seabourn Do you know where he has gone Chairsin? We had Chef Pugh on our Spirit sailing last September. Don't miss his Galley Dinner, it was fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italycruiser Posted March 3, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Are the Legend's two last cruises the Caribbean on March 15 and then the TA to Barcelona, or the TA to Barcelona and then some cruise in the Mediterranean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted March 3, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Are the Legend's two last cruises the Caribbean on March 15 and then the TA to Barcelona, or the TA to Barcelona and then some cruise in the Mediterranean? TA to Barcelona then Barcelona to I think Rome are the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted March 3, 2015 #15 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think I heard he went to OZ but Stamfordian can tell you for sure. And the last two Legend cruises are the transatlantic followed by our Med cruise April 4-20 Barcelona to Rome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italycruiser Posted March 3, 2015 #16 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I just heard from the Seabourn Club that David E. will join the Legend on March 22; the cruise director for the March 15 departure will be Verity Teiho-Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract with Seabourn finished and he has returned to Sydney where he lives. A lot of regulars on Legend and Spirit over the past three years will miss him greatly.

Winner Posted March 3, 2015 #19 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I just heard from the Seabourn Club that David E. will join the Legend on March 22; the cruise director for the March 15 departure will be Verity Teiho-Brown. Verity is a kick-tons of personality and very visible around the ship. For anyone aboard the last two cruses, please give David E and Verity big hugs and/or kisses from Winnie!

chefchick Posted June 25, 2015 #21 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Does anyone know if David E Green will continue on with the larger ships or did Seabourn lose him after the demise of the little sisters? Never care about a CD till we met him 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairsin Posted June 26, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 26, 2015 David E was with us on the final Legend cruise and told me he is going back to one of the big ships -- can't remember which one. And yes, it would be a shame if he left -- he is a talented performer and a very good CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
