Paulette3028 Posted August 22, 2015 #77 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Marc Walker posted on FB that he injured himself juggling during the Farewell Show last week. He is currently still on board Enchantment working with a sling and in pain. On Monday, he has some appointments regarding future treatment. He did mention that they have a replacement ready, if need be. When he posts more, we will know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulette3028 Posted August 22, 2015 #78 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Marc Walker put up on FB: "Physio coming on board Monday , then off to orthopedic surgeon Friday.ill be honest, haven't slept in 5 days ,and although there is no surgery needed, the pain is excruciating." Moe and the staff are probably doing all they can to make it easier for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazykj17 Posted August 23, 2015 #84 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi everyone, is there any word on who will be CD on Legend OTS after this month? We are going on her in November and I would be keen to find out who our CD will be! Thank you.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe12 Posted August 23, 2015 #85 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Still no word on Anthem's CD once it reaches NJ? would love to see Luke Aerowsmith take it over he was fantastic on LOS. Most likely. He is on a 3.5 month break by the look of it and as Joff is going back to Indy I would imagine Luke could take over on Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted August 23, 2015 Author #95 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks to all for filling in the blanks! I appreciate all the help, and all the good info! I got an email from Topi (see below) and he will do the transatlantic before he hand over to someone else. The e-mail from Topi: Thanks for reaching out I will be doing the transatlantic cruise starting 08/30 as my last cruise for the "Baltic season" bringing the ship to US (unless something changes) Unfortunately I don't have any official/public confirmation of the CD who will be replacing me here. Topi Ylönen Thank you for contacting Topi. Several people have confirmed that Carly will be next onboard Serenade, but we didn't have a confirmation on the date until now! Thanks for confirming that Topi will be doing the transatlantic. I fixed the list. Ok I found Steve Davis on Facebook be going to radiance of the seas Thank you so much! (Did he mention a start date?) I just heard from Gordon Whatman. He is enjoying "semi retirement" filling in when needed. He doesn't really expect to be back on a ship until perhaps March 2016. Thanks! I updated his status on the bottom half of the list. Casey Peltier started on Freedom today. Jamie Fentiman confirmed this onboard Saturday night. Thanks for letting us know his correct start date! I fixed it on the list. If Jamie was on Freedom yesterday, that means he hasn't started on Mariner yet, so I will list his start date there as of the next sailing.
