WHO'S ON BOARD: Officers, Staff and Crew: PART 2

[EnthDegree]

Arno,

 

Just to let you know that Cruise Director Lewis is back on Solstice. He posted a video on Instagram wearing his England football shirt. He will be very sad today after the U S A women beat England last night 2-1!!

Arno I noticed on the Spotlight TV picture of the Summit Officers and Staff a question mark as to who will replace Capt. Charis who went to Millennium. The name you posted was Matt ? I believe it could be Staff Capt. Matt Karandreas from the Edge ?

It may be but no one on board would confirm who the new master will be...

Does anyone know when Captain Leo will return to the Eclipse?

Only guesses.. Either Captain Manetas or a to-be-named master (Tasos perhaps)

Cruise Director: ????

 

Captain Tasos recently posted on Instagram that he's going to Equinox ("My new Ship is getting ready.. can’t wait to see her soon! Celebrity EQUINOX ❤️")  and in the replies he said that he will be on for Christmas. 

Captain Kate recently left Equinox for a 5 day "secret" trip to Edge (Captain Theo took over temporarily) and posted the following regarding her schedule  "back to Equinox on July 9th until August 17th, then Edge until September 30th".

 

So it seems unlikely that Tasos will be joining in August since it would not have him still be there in December, unless he does a short stint before vacation.

Congratulations to Captain Theo on the promotion.

Yes, for 5 days, they showed him signing the log. As I am not familiar with all of the Celebrity captains I did not realize how significant it was.

Who is on the Summit for July.

With the Spotlight gone on many ships, I've edited a TV picture from the June 6th sailing of Summit:

Arno,

Just off the Summit today after the 10 day Independence Day cruise. 

Great cruise, and for me it was extra special to see so many familiar faces from the Century. 

Changes to the above staff are:  Staff Captain is now Nikolaos Zacharopoulous and Food and Beverage is now Robert Mustatea.  According to Robert, Oswald is now on the Solstice.  Dan announced that he will be going on vacation "in a couple of weeks".  Capt. Ioannis said he would be going on vacation in mid August, but no mention of who his replacement would be, and I failed to ask. ;-(

Thank you so much for all of your efforts to keep this updated, and I have to say, I REALLY miss the Spotlight and the dailies.  Hopefully, they will reinstate them in the future.  Fingers crossed.

Pat

We're currently on Millennium, and the Spotlight won't load on our TV.  🍷

Very confused. Will Captain Kate be back on the Equinox from August 17 until the end of Sept?

I think she will be back and leave 8/17.  Then I believe after her break on the Edge.

No. As I posted the other day she is heading right to Edge after leaving Equinox.

 

Captain Kate recently left Equinox for a 5 day "secret" trip to Edge (Captain Theo took over temporarily) and posted the following regarding her schedule  "back to Equinox on July 9th until August 17th, then Edge until September 30th".

I though she was to remain on the Edge after her break, in December, for three months.

That is a direct quote from her on Instagram, so I guess not. I'm sure she will be back on Edge later in the year but that was not in her post.

I’m sorry, I’m very new to this, so if I’m posting this in the wrong section please don’t boo me out, I’ve spent a couple of hours trying to find the right thread for my question. I’m trying, unsuccessfully, to find out if and when CPT Dimitri Kafetzis and HD Niyazi Korkmaz will be on Apex. We’re looking for a cruise with them anywhere between May 2020 to August 2020.

if this is the wrong thread, could someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Any information that you will find here is based on passenger input as they are onboard.  Until Apex sails only a direct conversation with either one may get you the correct information.  Happy speculation..

It's been announced that D. Kafetzis is taking out Apex (I also heard it directly from him). The first sailing is April 2020.  So one would think that May is a safe bet, probably June as well. I would not bet on anything other than that (not sure how long the initial captain stayed on Edge, was it the full 3 months?) Have they announced who the initial hotel director is going to be? I think that would be less of a guarantee.

I guess it depends on the time that he actually took over for sea trials before the first scheduled sailing.  The joker is alive and well.

Which is why I'm wondering about the timing of the original Edge captain. Actually, I know that, he left the ship on February 3rd, along with me. So Kafetzis should be on for 3 months after the first sailing, but like I said, two is probably a safe best.
