Captain Foster left in Papeete to visit family. Captain Holland joined in Papeete for a fun few days then left after a few days when Foster rejoined Majestic Princess.

Please do share if you see more details! Very interesting concept. Although I could see Dan just there for the ceremonial aspects and then gradually move behind the scenes over time.

Did we miss where Captain Gennaro Arma went?  Thought he was overseeing Sun Princess.

Current Crown Princess ED Callie Smit goes on break in a few days. Replacement will be Kylie Chappell.

Yep, last time he appeared (that I saw), it was in a Princess press video about helping lead (or be a part of) the newbuild effort for Sun. Pretty sure he's been promoted to a corporate managerial position at this point.

Update to the Discovery. Captain Holland will be leaving the Discovery on 11/25/23. I assume Captain Smith will be returning then but there's no way of knowing.

Thanks for the confirmation.😁  Will you be staying on for the next cruise & TA?

Kylie Chappell is the ED on Crown Princess, effective today.

 

She replaces Callie Smit.

Yes, there is a way.

From Princess, today:

"Another highly experienced and talented mariner has been promoted to Captain.

Alessandro Genzo takes command of Discovery Princess on November 25."
