What happened to Ricky Mattgews returning on Navigator 

Ricky isn't assigned to Navigator - I believe that he is still on Symphony.

He was on the Mariner a few months ago. We had him there and on Brilliance  two years ago. If it’s the same “Oh mama, Oh Mama... big hair... simulate twerking ala Sex with another male dancer then who cares where he is? Where he AIN’T  is more important. Not my cup of tea.

I was just on this most recent Grandeur sailing. Hopefully someone else can confirm and provide specifics, as I didn't have time to get specific dates from John Blair, but he said that Clo O'Connor will be joining Grandeur early next year and will be on my February 20 sailing.

[DELTABLUE]

Was so hoping that John Blair would be back on Grandeur after his vacation when Susan Adams is due to cover.

Michelle Oliveria is currently on VY as a CD. When we went onboard Voyager first cruise after her amplification on the 20th she was the CD. Will go again on the 4 Nov and see if there's any changes

[I'm from Oz]

It's been quite a while since I kept up with the CD list. Now I have a couple of questions if I may.

 

Firstly, does anyone know anything about Mark Rous - currently CD on Radiance. Does he run a progressive trivia well? When did he board? In other words is he likely to be on board on a Feb 25 2020 sailing?

 

Secondly, I have missed the development of the list and am now wondering what the # numbers represent. Sorry if it's been posted recently, but I would have no idea how to find out that info.

 

TIA

[DELTABLUE]

The # is a reference to the post where a piece of info was listed.😉

Agree -- where he Ain't is important.  I found him irritating.  

[DELTABLUE]

little britain...I made your update on my list that has not been posted yet.  Some quoted the last published list in recent posts.  Unless there is a lot of action, I try to put up the most recent updated list on Mondays.😉

Me, too.  He and Andre made a great pair.

He's not. He was on Symphony relieving Mike Szwajkowski while Mike was on vacation. I think my cruise (9/14/19 - 9/21/19) was his last before Mike returned.

I remember hearing in an interview that Ricky would be on SY until November. Mike went on vacation in mid August so a 9/21 return would have been a very short vacation for him.

Sorry, you're right. Per the other posts in the thread, Mike came back on 9/29, so his vacation ran 8/17 to 9/29.

There was an error in the list - 9/29 is a Sunday, SY turns around on Saturdays. From what I remember, Marc was accidentally listed for joining SY on 9/29 instead of HM and when corrected, his name was switched to Mike. I don't believe there is actually any source that Mike was back in September. I could be wrong, but I really doubt that they would give Mike a vacation of less than 8 weeks unless Ricky was urgently needed to cover on another ship.

Yup and looking at John&Lala's current review of Symphony, Ricky's still onboard (as in photographic proof of Ricky). So, @DELTABLUE, any chance you can change/update to show Ricky is still CD on Symphony?

[DELTABLUE]

OK...putting Ricky Matthews back on Symphony.  Where is Mike Szwajkowski and is Mike Hunnerup on Allure or Indy?

[Slainte!]

Mike Hunnerup is on Indy as per my previous posts....I’ve just been on the ship and had dinner with him!
