Commodore Warwick

[tcad1]

Is Commodore Warwick currently the Master of any ship?

[Vic The Parrot]

I believe the Commodore is in command of the QM2.

 

Capt Heath is his relief, but I could be wrong.

A friend who knows him says Ray Heath has retired... this month from Cunard.

 

30 cruises since 1969

QM2 11/6/04 and QE2 ... the NEXT last transatlantic in December 04

Captain Paul Wright... TRUE GENTLMAN is the alternate Master. Both are truly wonderful AND PERSONABLE GENTLEMEN to cruise with! ANYTIME

Captain Ray Heath retired at the end of the QE2 cruise I was on (August 14th)

I know Commodore Warwick very well, having sailed with him three times on the QE2. His wife is from here (Hawaii) and we know her parents very well. We were seated at the Captain's table on the last cruise and he did not put in an appearance once during the entire 11 night voyage.

 

To cap it all off, we attended a pre sail away cocktail party with Ron Warwick, his wife and family and chatted away like the old friends that I thought we were, then, when I bought a copy of his book and presented it him for his autograph, he looked me straight in the eye and said "who should I dedicate it to, and where are you from?"

Maybe commodores don't sit at captains tables.

He hadn't been promoted to Commodore then, he was still Captain of the QE2 and the QM2 hadn't been launched.
