Capt for Grand Asia will be Fred Eversen; Staff Captain Jan Smit; DRM will be Philip Stolte and PGM Tina Astuti; HD will remain Henk Mensink, pretty much the Grand World Voyage crew minus Capt. Mercer. Capt. Eversen also did the 2014 Grand Asia voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_in_Spain Posted August 11, 2017 #207 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Is Captain Chris Turner still with HAL? We first sailed with him (several times) many years ago on Windstar's Wind Song. What a great Captain. Also, any idea who will be our Captain on the Veendam for the Southern Caribbean Cruise on 8th December? I have a particular reason for asking this as I will be scattering my late husband's ashes while at sea and I would love it to be one of the Captains we sailed with previously.

Rare rafinmd Posted August 11, 2017 #209 Share Posted August 11, 2017 2 Questions about Captain Turner. (1) Will he be on the September 27 Trans Pacific? I have a friend on that cruise (her first HAL). (2) Have you heard anything about a retirement date for Captain Turner? At a Captains Q&A he said something like "I'd like my last contract to be on the Volendam because I haven't sailed in Asia". Thanks Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
