nordski Posted July 6, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Fantastic a Scot as a Captain Well done Magnus, one of the nicest people to come out of Shetland! Sounds like a great addition.

minz56 Posted July 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Sounds like a great addition. But who will translate the Captain's announcements at noon? [emoji3] I could apply for that position as I hail from Shetland too! Congratulations to the new Captain :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwestchick Posted July 6, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Surprised Captain Sindre didn't stay very long at all. :confused: :confused: Edited July 6, 2015 by midwestchick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Surprised Captain Sindre didn't stay very long at all. :confused: :confused: I'm surprised too. He's a very nice person, and seemed eager to be with Azamara. I wonder if the smaller ship experience wasn't for him. I hope he enjoys his return to Royal Caribbean. Welcome Captain Davidson !

Hi Robin, Are you saying this was the plan all along, and Captain Sindre was only intended to be a fill in ? If so, that's very interesting.

excitedofharpenden Posted July 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Very pleased for Magnus Davidson, but sorry Sindre didn't stay for long. He seemed a great fit for Azamara, but stayed even less time than Captain Stig. Wishing our new Captain Magnus all the best. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, This is just a very good thought but just my thoughts..You might be right that he did not like a smaller ship. .But this is the second time in 3 years they pulled from RCI and both captains went back to RCI. my real feeling Magnus has been with AZ enough years. Maybe the company thought a Captain should be older. he is the youngest captain now. i still believe he should of been made captain over bringing in a stranger again.

Hi Robin, Larry Pimentel tweeted that Captain Davidson was previously Journey's Staff Captain. It makes more sense now, as the dots are connected. Thanks for your insights. I'd like to wish all the best of success to Azamara Captain Magnus Davidson ! Edited July 6, 2015 by Host Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare oddjob16 Posted July 6, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 6, 2015 very sorry to see him go, we had 3 cruises with him this may and june and he is a wonderful person!welcoeto captain Magnus Annelies and Fred We also talked a lot with Sindre and he said tha RCI had offered him to rejoin their fleet, but not before in the fall. They also said that they had an opening at Azamra imediately. Maybe he was making this Azamara contract and still was contemplating the RCI position as time went by. A door opened for him, and he took it, subsequently another one opened for Magnus. We have sailed with Magnus and he will be perfect. A Shetlander is basically more norwegian than scottsih, at least :rolleyes:that's what half the population likes to be....:) just kidding A Huge WELCOME, to the new Master of Azamara Journey:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBMacLaird Posted July 7, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yes, Capt Magnus Davidson has been our Staff Captain on-board Azamara. He's very well liked by all...officers, staff & crew, shoreside and of course our guests! We are all happy about his promotion. He sent me an email this morning thanking me for posting his promotion on this forum and saying he'll sign up with CC once on-board the Journey. He signed off with the following..."P.S. I will do my best to represent Scotland well!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillC Posted July 7, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think she meant to write "beard". Based on the photo that you posted that would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
