Krazy Kruizers Posted June 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2007 That's going to be a rough job. We rarely have either the captains who are suppose to be on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrioso Posted June 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Would be really nice for those of us who are interested, if HAL maintained an up-to-date list of this info. On line would be good - easy access. PENNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted June 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2007 That's great, John. Thank you for compiling it for us. We like to know who is 'projected' to be aboard. BUT we always keep in mind that assignments can change with little or NO notice due to illness, family emergency, Seattle's decision to reassign.

Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 13, 2007 Author #8 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Unlike the captains and hotel managers, the list of cruise directors is not complete and does not indicate projected dates when the C/D's will be onboard the ships (I don't have that info!). The dates behind the names indicate the month when that C/D was last on that particular ship. There are several names, i.e. Pieter Daems & Bruce Allen Scudder (and dates) missing. If you recently completed a cruise and have the name of the C/D, please let me know and I will add it. HAL CRUISE DIRECTORS M/S PRINSENDAM TREVOR MILLAR (06/07) STEVE GAYDA (05/07) M/S MAASDAM CHRIS BUTCHER (05/07) M/S RYNDAM BOBBY BROUGHTON (05/07) MIKE CONNACHAN (04/07) M/S STATENDAM DAVID MARTIN (05/07) SUSAN WOOD 04/07 M/S VEENDAM TOM FAULKNER (04/07) DOUG DUNNELL (04/07) M/S ROTTERDAM MICHELLE WORTHLEY (05/07) M/S AMSTERDAM JILL TASKER (04/07) ERIC HOLLAND (06/07) M/S VOLENDAM SAVANNAH RYE (04/07) M/S ZAANDAM ROB LAFORREST (05/07) ADAM DYER (04/07) M/S OOSTERDAM JASON VENNER (05/07) M/S ZUIDERDAM JACQUI PERRY (05/07) BRANDON LAMB (05/07) M/S WESTERDAM BILLY ROGERS (01/07) M/S NOORDAM DREW MURDOCK (05/07) M/S EURODAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barocl Posted June 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thank you Copper10-8. This is much easier that bothering Ships Services for their listings whenever we cruise. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted June 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Excellent, John. You did your homework. You get a pass on today's assignment. ;) Now ... how about the Maitre D' for all ships? (Just kidding, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 13, 2007 Author #11 Share Posted June 13, 2007 One thing I forgot to add is a disclaimer: The two lists I have posted re: the ship assignments of HAL captains and hotel managers is accurate to the best of my knowledge as of today/the time I posted them. Be aware however, that ship assignments can change at any time without notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted June 13, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Thanks for the list John. I will be curious to see if there are any changes by the time we get on some of our ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted June 13, 2007 Author #14 Share Posted June 13, 2007 ...............Will you be updated from time to time? Yes I will, S7S but it's getting harder and harder to get the right parts from the factory in Amsterdam;) (I'll update the list also!).

sail7seas Posted June 13, 2007 #19 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Absolutely great....... A word of caution though. As John has said........ Changes can happen without notice. If you have sailed before with a particular Captain or Hotel Manager and would like to sail with them again and see their name and scheduling here on this list. DO NOT book a cruise predicated upon them being aboard. They well may be but they also may NOT be. Assignments get changed in the blink of an eye. IF you love the ship/cruise/itinerary anyway, then sure.....go ahead and book it and hope the person you enjoyed will be there. But don't book a cruise you wouldn't love to be on anyway. You could be disappointed and that would be too bad. Thank you, John and Sungoddess. Also looking forward to Maitre d' list. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seacruise Posted June 13, 2007 #22 Share Posted June 13, 2007 The Hotel Manager of the Statendam when I was on her 2 weeks ago was Cornelis Van Santen. It was was my undertsanding as well he would be on her for most of the summer. David Martin (CD) said he was leaving Statendam to head to another ship right away but didn't mention which ship it was.

Phil Hi Phil. Cornelis 'Cees' van Santen is on Statendam for four more days (6/17/07) before Wilhelmus 'Willem' Cruijsberg replaces him. Cruijsberg himself will be replaced by Robert Versteeg on 7/29/07. Unknown if Cees van Santen is a Culinary Operations (F&B) manager on move-up as H/M Thanks for the heads up on C/D David Martin. That list of C/D's I posted will always remain a crapshoot because they change so often and at the last minute!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May4 Posted June 13, 2007 #24 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Copper10-8, This is a facinating look at which Holland America captains and hotmen are where. It's so very "inside baseball", and therefore is a lot of fun to read. I'm grateful to you for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted June 13, 2007 #25 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm happy to see Jeroen Van Donsleaar will be taking the Eurodam out for her inaugural. We had the pleasure of dining with him aboard the Rotterdam back in '02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
