Cruisedafewtimes Posted February 22, 2017 #2205 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. Could you say Michelle who or is she from Brazil ? W cruisedafewtimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

dcgrumpy Posted February 27, 2017 #2221 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Not in my view.The most narcissistic individual I have ever came across. So loud, always on PA, is not interested in any activity that doesn't put him in the spotlight, and a dud at managing the entertainment on a larger ship (on Anthem, L&M was 10.30 on the last night!) I don't know how he ever got onto the large ships. I hope he is kept well away from any of the 3 Oasis sisters. That being said, I would love to sail Liberty, she seems like an awesome ship. We had him last week on Independence, I wasn't a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Cruizers Posted February 27, 2017 #2222 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks, we will enjoy our cruise with friends anyway.:) This will be our 2nd time on the Liberty since our 2011 Barcelona TA. Our favorite CD thus far was Ken Jones. we enjoyed him during our 2014 NZ & Transpacific cruises. He left at the end of our Transpacific. will see who will be our Serenade CD for August.
