Sophie Gideon just made an announcement for this evening so she is indeed on the Caribbean. Probably picked us up today in Boston.

And then above it said she is on both the Caribbean and the Regal?

Made a few additional changes to try and alleviate confusion. I have also begun linking (appears as an underline) certain names to a contributor's post here in this thread if they have stated specific details about an officer's timeline (such as when they're joining or when they're leaving). It's optional, but I just thought it was a nice touch.

Yes, it might be nice, but most posters will not know how to do it, or will try and screw it up, or won't be bothered.

Added Diamond's Tim Donovan to ED and swapped out Natalie with Esther as CD per the above photo. Replaced Enchanted's CD Jayson with Olivia, per @dickinson's LIVE blog. Hi Dickinson, do you mind corroborating the other officers on the Enchanted in this table? Thanks a bunch!

Nice to see the lovely Esther promoted to CD. 

[highloyo]

Where did Natalie C. go? I liked her when we sailed on the Majestic last year.

[dickinson]

@snoozecrooze I got off today so can't corroborate anybody except the cruise director as already mentioned and Nick Nash, the Commodore.

She's been on for months, so vacation.

Looking forward to having DuVaul as our CD next weekend onboard Discovery, heard good things about him. 
 

Big thanks to snoozecrooze for maintaining this list!

We had DuVaul last year on the Discovery. He was very entertaining especially with his morning briefings on TV.

I do not care for him at all, but was spoiled by Kristoff Greyling.

What's not to love about DuVaul?  He's so much fun and the guests love him!

Every time I see a CD listed for our ship-the Regal some one posts about them being on another ship!  Wonder who our CD will be?

Right?  So who IS on the Regal?

[suzyed]

Now I am seeing Allie Ambriano as CD on the Regal....

As to the Discovery, Captain Smith will return on October 28. Captain Ruggero will be back on January 27th

Sailaway with Captain Smith's commentary should be listed in the patter. It's THAT good.
