Andy Posted August 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Hi Everyone, I have some bittersweet and very exciting news to share with our wonderful Princess Community. I will be leaving Cruise Critic in 2 weeks. My final day as “Host Andy” will be on August 31st. It’s bittersweet to be leaving. I’ve lost track of exactly how many years I’ve been on the forums. However, it's safe to say 2 things : it's been a *long* time, and, I’ve absolutely loved my time at Cruise Critic. I have incredible admiration for our members, for helping others, and for the endless wealth of information that Cruise Critic offers. Now, for the exciting news… Recently, an incredible Social Media opportunity was offered to me, within the Cruise Industry, bringing a new chapter of passion and adventure to my life. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of doing. Wish I could share all the details today… but there will be a Press Release forthcoming, which will make everything perfectly clear. I will say this much… in my new role, which begins on September 1st, I will participate significantly on one Cruise Critic forum, and will maintain an additional member name, to participate in discussions on other forums. The bottom line - I will continue to be around, though not in a Cruise Critic capacity. I’d like to say Thank You, to our Community Manager, Laura Sterling, My Princess Co-Host, Host Anne (she's the best !), and our support team - Jennifer, Cecilia & Michell, for always being there for the Hosts. We appreciate everything you do for us. Last but not least, I’d like to say a huge Thank You, to our entire Cruise Critic Community for all of your support and kindness over the years. You are what kept my passion strong ! In the forthcoming Press Release, I’m expecting an email address to be provided, so we’ll have the opportunity to stay in touch. As mentioned earlier, I will continue as “Host Andy” for another two weeks, so let’s have a great time ! I plan to share additional thoughts as it gets closer to August 31st. Thank you for being a cherished part of my life, and for the honor & privilege of being Your Host. You will be missed more than you can ever imagine. Sincerely, Andy Edited August 19, 2016 by Host Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Anne Posted August 19, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 19, 2016 One of the reasons I took on the hosting duties here on the Princess board (along with truly enjoying our Princess cruises) was because of you, Andy. Loved sharing the Princess host role with you. You are such a kind and helpful person. You'll be greatly missed here but know you'll be very successful in your next adventure. Come back and visit often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted August 19, 2016 #24 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Best of luck, Andy. Most don't realize or know the effort that you, and Anne, put into keeping these boards safe, pleasant, and fun. Even during discussions on dress code, tipping, etc. I know it's not easy. You use your personal time to do so. A BIG "Thank you" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christinelee Posted August 19, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 19, 2016 We will miss you on here and will always remember our great cruise with you on the Royal in '15. Stay Andy. And were ever the gentle breeze takes you in life ----- that is were you will be. Thanks a million! Terry & Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
