C 2 C Posted November 19, 2006 Author #151 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just got off the Century, Capt. Pagonis was there, but the cruise director was a gal named Halsey. Don.t have a last name Halsey was the activities manager while we were onboard last month. Dru must be on holidays or in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted November 19, 2006 #152 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi Andy:Captain Pagonis just returned as Master of Century October 6th. We were told that he had been slated to go to Summit but came back to Century after cleaning out all his belongings when he left for his last holiday. Hi....he doesn't look old enough to drive a car, let alone a ship;) :eek: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted November 19, 2006 #153 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Halsey was the activities manager while we were onboard last month. Dru must be on holidays or in transit. Hi Arno ! Before you go changing the lists around..... :) I think Rick had mentioned there was a CD meeting at the Celebrity offices in Miami this week. I am guessing the Assistant CD's were all acting CD's on the ships this week. I know Dru is scheduled to be on Century right now. As Century left Miami today, he is back onboard now.

Andy Posted November 19, 2006 #154 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hi....he doesn't look old enough to drive a car, let alonea ship;) :eek: :D Hi Lois ! I have to tell you... We sailed with Captain Pagonis last year, and he was one of the most friendly and personable Captains we have ever seen with Celebrity. He also hosted a VERY informative Question and Answer session in the theater, which I thought was a nice touch. After the presentation, he spent extra time talking to those who had additional questions. It is very clear that he cares about his work, and that his passengers and crew are very happy. I am thrilled that Captain Pagonis is the current Master of Century. I look forward to sailing on his ship on 11/27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheilb4 Posted November 19, 2006 #156 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Since no-one responded, I would like to ask again, does anyone know the length of the Captains' contracts? Do they work 4 months on, 1 month off? as an example...anyone know? Thanks. I know for the general crew it is usually 8 months on and 2 months off.....

Rare uktog Posted November 19, 2006 #157 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Captains are now doing three months on three months off. There was a meeting starting 13 Nov at Miami for Cruise Directors can confirm that. Not sur it involved Captains Club staff but they are awaiting there one. There was talk of new itineraries based on the use of some of the boats bought from the Spanish company and the CDs were going to be briefed onthis, so anyone going cruising now might be able to get info from their CDs to post here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLouisCruisingGuys Posted November 19, 2006 #160 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Just curious if anyone had names for the key staff (Captain and Cruise Director) on the Xpedition? I know its a much smaller vessle and not as many people have been on board, but we are heading that way in a few weeks. Just wondered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend on finding out how much the captain contracts differ between RCCL and X when we are aboard Mercury next month. RCCl is going to a new schedule for their masters, starting in Januray with rotations of 10 weeks on and 10 weeks off. Of course.......if any reliever wants a slightly different schedule........they work it out amoungst themselves. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted November 20, 2006 #162 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Captain's contracts are the same as the CDs. 4 months on 2 months off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted November 20, 2006 #163 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Rick I think they have just been changed to 3 on 3 off - certainly that was what both John Howeel and Captain Berdos were indicating last month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessbriar Posted November 21, 2006 #164 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I'll have to get confirmation of that in February. Wow, I wonder if they are taking a cut in pay due to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrothead1 Posted November 21, 2006 #165 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Sounds like this could be a very fluid list if they are going to 3 on 3 off. Make me wonder who we will see in March on Millie. I was really hoping John Howell would be there then, but it looks like he may not be with the new scheduling. I guess I'll need to stay tuned.

Cruisininfinity Posted November 28, 2006 #169 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I am going to assume that Captain Papanikalou is on holiday? I know he was on Constellation through the TA back in April. ok so you can bet that Captian Papaniklou is on the Connie in March b/c his brother gos on during my spring break ~ march 18th sailing last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circusboy354 Posted December 8, 2006 #174 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The captain of Galaxy changed on Tuesday in Cadiz to Anastasios Lekkas. Is it normal for a captain to change mid cruise? We had no warning, I only noticed the new captains name in the daily. Cruise director is still Shawn Cavanagh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted December 8, 2006 #175 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hi Arno ! Don Fluke is now the CD on Constellation. He just arrived about 2 weeks ago, so he should be there for a while. I thought you might want to update the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
