Can anyone please tell me what Simona is like as a CD?  Will be on board for the Rome to Dubai via Suez Canal Repo at the end of November. TIA

Really did not care for Simona.  She loves to be the star of every show with no interest in the passengers.

Any news on who will replace Clo on the Brilliance on the Sept.1 TA ?

Don't have the answer Wayne, but I would also like to know who it will be. Look forward to meeting you on this cruise.

So disappointed to hear that Captain Lis is on leave (delighted for her). We are on the Jewel next spring and were hoping she would be there as we will reach Pinnacle on one of the b2b2b. We so enjoyed her on our Jewel cruises last fall. Never saw Captain Castelsky on the one he was on.

We cruised with Carly as our CD on the Serenade in May and thought she was great. Only time we have been invited to dinner with an officer and she was present for the cocktail time before dinner. Everyone got to know her well because of that and then we sat beside her for dinner. I posted about how we enjoyed her on a thread earlier and got very negative responses and seems like no-one liked her as we did.

Of course she is married to a Canadian and we are from that country so maybe earned extra points because of that connection. We are delighted that she will be on our Snowbird Migration cruise in October.

Sorry to hear most folks didn't like Carly! I did get the feeling that she was friendly with us because we are Canadian as is her husband so we had some mutual things to discuss. We don't go to a lot of the shows so can't really comment on those. Had dinner with her one evening and really enjoyed visiting with her. She even came to the cocktail time before dinner.

Oh well, cruising is great and we all have our favourite ships, staff, crew, etc.

Hi, Donna! Let me echo many others and say you are truly an asset to this board. Keeping this list is time consuming and you deserve a lot of positive reinforcement. I think we all appreciate what you do.

 

May I ask a question. I see the CD for Serenade is aboard for the European sailings. When do you think there will be a change and when do you think it might be announced? We board Serenade in April and are very curious as to who will be CD. Though it is not a deal breaker.

When we did our 3 cruises on the Serenade in April and May Carly Boileau was the CD and she was terrific. She said she was hoping to be back on that ship in the fall as she lives in New Brunswick and could visit with her husband in many of the ports. We sure hope it will be her when we do the Snowbird Migration cruise and the one following.
