Can someone please update the chart for me. I'm currently out of town and only have my mobile phone.  The copy feature is not cooperating.

 

DRO Nicola Furlan has been transferred to the Enchanted.  He will remain there until January and is currently scheduled to return to the Enchanted in April. 

 

Thank you!

Nicola said that something happened on the Enchanted and he was moved there from the Regal, Francisco Patricio is no longer on the Enchanted.  I'll get the full story when we board the Enchanted on Nov 12th.

Was Nicola a Club Class Dining Room Manager under Francisco on the Enchanted prior to him moving to the Regal?

Nicola Furlan has been a DRO for over 30 years. He was Maitre’D on our first Princess cruise in 1993.

Also, Nicola had been on Regal since the restart AFAIK.  He has been a wonderful MD/DRO for decades.

Our first three Maitre'd's in the mid 1990's; Mario Propato, Generoso Mazzone and Nicola Furlan.  Now there is a team!

[mrkjones61]

Captain Ruggero stated that he will be on the Discovery until the end of October.

M. Propato we probably had once and I don't recall meeting him at all.  Generoso we had three times I think and I did meet him and we also had a discussion about Sanctuary which was under his purview.  Nicola I think three times as well, but at least one of those was B2B.  I wish I could recall who we had around South America in 2018, but it's our HW Nelson that stood out and never forget him (but never seen/heard of him since and no idea if he returned post-Covid).

Any one sailed with Aaron Hawkins as a CD? What are your thoughts on him? Can't find much.

We’ve sailed with him twice and we enjoyed him. He’s very friendly and likes to chat with passengers. Had a good laugh with him over the Marriage Match game when he had to deal with a difficult contestant.

We sailed with him Dover to Sydney when he as both the Cruise and Entertainment Director.  Big shoes to fill doing two jobs but always had a smile on his face and full of enthusiasm.  Didn't see him much about the ship, except at the theater and events, but then he had a lot of admin to do.

Thank you. In his videos he looked like he was having fun.

Apparently there have been a few crew changes on the Royal Princess when she arrived in Australia today.

Does anyone know what happened to Jayson Douglass (previously on Enchanted Princess)??

[Crown Cruiser]

Jayson posted on Instagram that he just returned to Enchanted Princess.  (Was on vacay).
