Royal Crown Cruiser Posted January 2, 2017 #2002 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I don't see any mentions of Ricky Matthews on this list. He was CD on Oasis last December.

Rare BillOh Posted January 3, 2017 #2007 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Someone said a few days ago that Elvis was joining Adventure. Thanks for that thought, We thought he was an excellent activities director when we saw him on Jewel in 2014. I might check out his facebook page and see if he drops any hints there.

He's on Grandeur on a conventional 4 month contract, then he's going on a 2 month break, then returning for another conventional 4 month contract, followed by another break, and then possibly moving over to Anthem in the fall.

According to this post on the previous page from someone also on last week's sailing, Bobby is scheduled for one more contract on Grandeur before moving over to Anthem (tentatively, of course, as things can change at any moment). At least that's how I interpreted the info the was posted http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=51873674&postcount=2063 If Bobby goes to Anthem, I wonder where Dru is going? He just got the regular assignment on Anthem (after doing a split Anthem/Allure coverage for a while), and when I last spoke to him, he said that he prefers working on ships that are based in NJ.
