spencerdrivecruiser Posted September 11, 2012 #1054 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That implies that either Captain Bouzakis or Captain Karatzas might be moving to Reflection.. ?? Capt Bouzakis will share the Master duties on the Reflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted September 12, 2012 Author #1056 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've received an email that Alex is the RM on Eclipse. If anyone has a picture and last name, could you email or post it here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewhite Posted September 12, 2012 #1057 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Capt Bouzakis will share the Master duties on the Reflection. I was under the happy impression that Captain Pagonis is the Captain of the Reflection. Is this not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted September 12, 2012 Author #1058 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was under the happy impression that Captain Pagonis is the Captain of the Reflection. Is this not the case They will share the rotation, starting with Captain Pagonis till about the end of the year. Captain Bouzakis is on Equinox now, will go on holidays and then take over in Dec. (leeway of 31 days..) We'll be onboard Reflection a month from today so I will try to post when I have a more definite date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted September 12, 2012 Author #1060 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just read where the executive chef on Reflection is Steve van der Merwe. From an old celebrity "Excite the Senses" news release: Chef Steve van der Merwe joined CelebrityCruises in 2008, and has become one of the fleet’s top chefs as Traveling Executive Chef. Chef van der Merwe is a key member of the team responsible for culinary operations across Celebrity’s fleet, and has been instrumental in overseeing the program on Celebrity’s Solstice Class ships. Where did you read that he would stay with the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d4m Posted September 13, 2012 #1065 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Captain Bouzakis is top notch and nice for his change to Reflection. Sorry we won't see him next year on Equinox Edited September 13, 2012 by d4m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted September 13, 2012 Author #1066 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Thanks for the answer Nereus. We will be on her in Five weeks. I believe then that we will be onboard together. Further clarification from a recent cruiser: captain Pagonis will be on the reflection until some time in January - he was supposed to leave December 15, when we are boarding ..., but because captain Jerry left they asked him to extend until mid-January I believe - I heard this about a month ago from a fellow cruiser who knows him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimletgal Posted September 13, 2012 #1067 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Just read where the executive chef on Reflection is Steve van der Merwe. What an excellent chef and a delightful person as well. I had the fortune of meeting Mr. van der Merwe this year on the Millennium. I must say the food on the cruise was the best I had had on Celebrity in six years. I complimented him on the presentation and quality of the food - he was very gracious and amiable. Anyone who is fortunate enough to have him as part of their cruise experience will feel very lucky indeed - not to mention having a delectable dining experience. Kudos to him and his staff!
