ariawoman Posted March 25, 2012 #576 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Josh is no longer in the cruise industry. He is the director of fun at a Starwood resort currently. He and I went to college together. Great to hear he made a good name for himself. I don't know that he ever worked for celebrity, but I know he worked for carnival for many years in different roles before becoming a cruise director.

ariawoman Posted March 25, 2012 #578 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Yes he did work for a Celebrity for about 2 years. Yeah I saw that once I checked his profile on linkedin. Always a special place in my heart for him, I gave him voice lessons back when we were both students (he was 2 years my junior there). You guys wouldn't believe his crazy curly hair from back then! Awesome guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted March 25, 2012 #579 Share Posted March 25, 2012 That's so funny, I had Josh Riffe as the cruise director on the Carnival Valor during her inaugural season. I though the did a good job. I had no idea he came to Celebrity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyb Posted March 27, 2012 #583 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi Please excuse my ignorance, however when I was looking at the table detailing all of the ships and the associated Master's and Snr Offficers, I noticed a Master was listed as was a Master (2). I had been wondering how this works: 1. Does each ship have a 'primary' master and a 'secondary' or do they have equal seniority status and take control alternately? (while I understand that each is a Master in their own right) 2. How long on average does a Master stay with a particular ship? 3. How long is a typical assignment for a Master on a ship? Thanks to anyone who can help me with the above. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sailed with Damien a couple of times as well and I will be on Equinox in May. Would you happen to know if he will be on board at that time? I don't know when his contract started so I don't know when it ends........ Thanks for any info you might provide:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherylroslyn Posted April 3, 2012 #595 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Could anyone give me a list of current officers on Summit? It seems like almost every name I have read here recently is a different name from last year. Also, if anyone knows the names of some of the guys in Normandie and whether Angel Sr. is still the Maitre 'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
