I don't even see Spectrum itself being mentioned in the numerous FB Royal groups I'm in. From the videos I have watched with CD Mei, he could only be better.

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted March 21, 2023 #729 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) I think Balint was one of the CDs promoted last year from Sports Manager which is unusual, normally they're from more of an entertainment/hosting background and were promoted from Activities Manager. So I'm not sure what that means in terms of his hosting skills. Edited March 21, 2023 by GlasgowCruiser01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted March 22, 2023 #731 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I wonder if Michele is going direct from Wonder to Symphony and Mercedes is covering his vacation for a couple of months. Since the ship is in Barcelona for 6 months, if she is on April 23rd-late June/early July, that allows Michele to return for a full contract then someone else takes over Oct 29th for the TA and return to the Caribbean. Would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowCruiser01 Posted March 23, 2023 #736 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I imagine being multi-lingual that Mercedes would suit a European audience better than a New Jersey audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve sailed with Mercedes on two occasions both times from Venice ( the real Venice not Ravenna ) a lovely lady and thought she was excellent very personable. Looking forward to seeing her again on Symphony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTABLUE Posted March 25, 2023 Author #738 Share Posted March 25, 2023 According to Carley B, Eric Lopez will be taking over from her on Enchantment around April 21. They will have a week overlap. The picture you are using for Carley is a very good likeness of her. Will update the CD listing as soon as I feel up to it. Unfortunately, I brought home a "little bug" with me and am in recovery mode. Not feeling like doing much of anything now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
