My reply about Goran was supposed to directed to you, not cruise Victor. My bad!

@expectthebest Yes! @cruiservictor We got to know Goran well when on the Getaway last year. He is a great person. You should enjoy cruising with him. We will be back for some B2Bs later this year and hope to be lucky enough to see both Mario and Goran onboard, GM and F&B.

Azarudeen Abdul

I am sorry you did not have a good experience with the cruise director. We were on the Getaway for the month of August. Perhaps we saw you there. The CD was Paquito Fuchs. We saw him very often and thought he was very friendly and helpful. I hope you have a better experience with him if you cruise with him again.

We just spent 4 B2Bs on the Getaway. I will make one small correction to the thorough list KACTravels just supplied. Two GMs are listed because during the cruise that ended 9/6/23, Mario left for vacation and Nenad took over. To answer the earlier question about who will be there in January, I can only say that Mario and his secretary Billie are currently scheduled to return the first week of November to the first week of February.

Nelson Martins is on the Viva opening it. He will be the GM. Before arriving at the Viva he was GM on the Prima for some months, arriving there from a vacation he took when he left the Epic. The current plan is that he will be moving on to open the next ship, whenever. Metin Camurlu, who has most recently been GM on the Getaway, will be F&B on Viva, taking over as GM when Nelson takes on vacations. Marcia

I know you have your answer but I just want to bring to people's attention that as recently as December, 2022 on the Epic and January, 2023 on the Getaway, the old vouchers were being used with the old language on them but they could still be used anywhere.
