Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

I’d consider it a very good thing, based on our past experiences cruising with him both in 2005 and 2009.

Simon was the HD on the Inaugural Voyages of the first three Solstice ships and the Hotel Director of Operations for the final two Solstice ships before moving to the latter position at Royal Caribbean. For the last few years he has been COO in China for Royal. He definitely has the qualifications for the position and I agree with Jane that this will be a positive thing for all as we too enjoyed sailing with him on several cruises.

Simon goes back a long time with Celebrity and was an outstanding HotelDirector. He's most qualified and should make an real contribution. I wonder if his brother will rejoin Celebrity?

I think this is really good news. Simon has lots of cruise experience and I think was very much missed when he moved over to Royal. We sailed with him on a number of occasions and found him to be a very good listener and very good company. His brother brought lots of fantastic live music and entertainment throughout the ship.

Hope we bump into both of them soon on a future sailing.

Simon was an exceptional CD on our first cruise (Millennium in 2005). 

He was Hotel Director aboard Equinox’s maiden Atlantic crossing in Nov 2009. On that cruise we were also privileged to have his brother, Nick Weir, as CD. It was an exceptional cruise!
