Rare Coral Posted January 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I seem to notice it after a change in destination. For example - I would often do the first cruise to Alaska. We always seemed to get a new Captain and new CD then. Same with Canada NE - they would do the TA, and then the new Captain and CD would come on. Sort of different in the Caribbean as the ship stays there longer than most destinations. Of course, everything can change anytime. For example, one Canada NE trip - we had 3 Captains. The previous one, the new one and the Commodore and they switched off as one went to Bermuda for a "golf game" for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 3, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Each of these people have fixed assignments- 3 months on, 3 off, 4 on, 4 off, or 6 on, 6 off. Assignments can change for occasional reasons, but you wouldn't be happy if your opposite was working only 5 months a year, and making you work 7! I have seen various positions change mid-cruise, if their assignment time frame was up. Edited January 3, 2017 by CruiserBruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie11 Posted January 3, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks for your replies. Do they come back to the same ship or move on to another Princess ship. I know the cabin stewards and waiters etc. usually go to another ship after their leave, but didn't know if this applied to the Captain etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
