Casey left for his break over the weekend, and he is not returning to Freedom after his break (because a CD can only be assigned to the same ship for 3 years, so he will be reassigned). Michele Scarpato joined Freedom this weekend and will be on for 2 months, so he will be your CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe12 Posted February 22, 2017 #2287 Share Posted February 22, 2017 SPECULATION: Could Michele be on Freedom for a short contract to prepare for Europe and then return in May/June for the Summer in Barcelona? He's Italian and was AM on Oasis in Fall 2014, Allure for Summer 2015 and also started Harmony's run in Barcelona. Or, he could stay on until after the TA and begin the European season, and then maybe Jerome could take over, as Clo's schedule on BR doesn't fit with his vacation schedule.

Joe12 Posted February 22, 2017 #2291 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Could you say Michelle who or is she from Brazil ?Wcruisedafewtimes No - it's Michele Scarpato, from Italy. He was AM on the Oasis Class in Europe and was then CD on Enchantment for a couple of contracts, and now over to Freedom. Had him on Allure, he seemed good, but didn't see much of him with the big ship. Michelle Pimentinha Oliveira is from Brazil. She has been on break for about 3 months (last on Rhapsody), but attended the CD conference, so is likely taking an extended vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele was on Enchantment Dec 16 through Feb 18, so he's likely doing a split contract between Enchantment and Freedom. So he should be on until mid-April and then on break until mid-June. Anything is possible, though, and the scenarios you proposed make sense. Time will tell. For now, I'd be happy to learn who replaced Michele on Enchantment over the weekend.

Lisette325 Posted February 24, 2017 #2300 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Can anyone find out about the CD situation on Empress and on Grandeur? Handovers are scheduled on both ships for either last weekend or this one. If no one replies within the next few weeks, I will be on Empress 3/23-3/27/17. I will post here once on ship.
