rkacruiser Posted July 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2018 A previous post was successful in gleaning information about who Nieuw Statendam's take-out Master is. Now, who will be the take-out Hotel Director? If the ship's first Master is at the shipyard overseeing her final build, I have to think that the ship's first Hotel Director is there as well.

sppunk Posted July 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It’s Stan Kuppens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted August 1, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It’s Stan Kuppens. Many thanks for your prompt response! An excellent choice who has served in that capacity on other new builds. His efforts to assist guests on tours with regard to Russian immigration procedures when the Eurodam was in St. Petersburg only increased my admiration for Mr. Kuppens skills and guest-oriented nature. Having sailed with Mr. Kuppens before that Eurodam cruise, and having been very pleased with the ship's hotel service, this news increases my anticipation for my Nieuw Statendam cruises this Winter.

sail7seas Posted August 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Stan K uppens is the ultimate professional, and such a fine gentleman. He has taken out so many HAL ships flawlessly. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 27, 2018 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2018 See above Can't read a post by a certain person so still don't know who will be the hotel director. But I am still wondering how you figured it would not be Stan Kuppens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted August 28, 2018 Author #22 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I am glad to see you are posting again Copper 10-8! Welcome back and I hope that your family and you are doing well. Glad to know who the take-out HD will be for certain. It was my understanding that Mr. Kuppins was working in Seattle at the home office. But, I know that things do change.

rkacruiser Posted August 28, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I looked up Mr. Habets profile and am impressed with what I read. He has been with HAL for several years and worked in a variety of capacities in the ship's Hotel Department. A good example of working one's way up the corporate ladder, I think.
