Emdee Posted June 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) It is the best of times (for them) and the worst of times (for us) Two PG veterans who were much loved by us passengers have retired. All the very best to Hotel Manager Jacques and Chief Bartender Elmo who have recently retired. Theirs will be very hard shoes to fill and we wish their successors the best of luck in their new positions. Shall meet both on the reunion so will be able to give a further update. A bonus is that Vishal whom some of you remember from Tere Moana will be on the PG. Edited June 28, 2017 by Emdee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidTheWonderer Posted June 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2017 All the PG staff are special but for me Elmo is super-special. Best wishes and following winds to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrHemlock Posted June 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2017 A bonus is that Vishal whom some of you remember from Tere Moana will be on the PG. Vishal is already aboard. We were on Bali-Fiji and met him for the first time. Terrific guy! And luckily, in our opinion, the guard change did not include Marlon. Grandpa rules the roost of younger guys in La Verandah. (You did know that he's a grandfather, right?) Our last PG cruise had been seven years ago when it was still a Regent ship so we had little hope this time around of meeting up with any favorite staff, of whom Marlon topped the list. But there he was! Still the same personable and fun guy. A refreshing blast from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabelle Posted June 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 28, 2017 We will sincerely miss Elmo. He is extremely special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmerboy Posted June 29, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Vishal is a FANTASTIC GUY if he is the boss. 2 cruises on Tere Moana with him. Will miss Elmo but everyone needs a life. Emdee stated that the info on his retirement was confirmed by PG Management so it must be true. Will miss Elmo. Met his son on a previous cruise.. Good Guy following in the footsteps of his father.

Friscorays Posted June 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2017 We are really sad that Elmo won't be on the ship anymore. He was a constant on all of our trips dating back to 2008 and he had a way of making everyone feel special. He had told us last year that he was thinking about retiring so that he could spend more time with his family and perhaps open up a restaurant in the Phillipines, but I got the impression that he was planning on sticking it out at least though the rest of this year. Hopefully we will cross paths with him again somewhere down the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdee Posted June 29, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Anything in particular we should ask for? If you like cocktails he has a good sense of what combines well. I take recipes down for the PG staff to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
