Hello. Would anyone be able to assist me with this please.  I am looking to confirm if Michele Olivier is still the the Head of Customer Service & Experience on the Princess Cruises Management/Leadership Team.  Her contact email address would be an added bonus.  My wife and i have just completed the 2024 World Cruise on the Island Princess and have some 'deep' thoughts to share with her about how the itinerary change was handled. 

Also, would anyone know the email address formats for the department managers aboard the Island Princess?

Thanks so much for any assistance you can be.   

Try molivier@princescruises.com. or m.olivier@princesscruises.com

Micca (Michael Reitano) is CD. I have no idea who ED is. I was waiting on someone to post a board, but I guess he got busy having fun cruising 😉 )

Comment about ED was irrelevant Enchanted.  Alex is on Ruby until May.

Jaclyn Friedlander and Scott Phyper (CDs) both left the Ruby on 23 March.  I do not know who the replacement is.  Yesterday Matt Thompson (ED) told me he is currently on vacation from the Enchanted. I do not know if he is going back.

Also, Alex was on as ED, then was supposed to leave, but he never did. And, Jaclyn showed up as CD, after like 3 in a row switching off, and now she is gone.  I can't keep up! Ha ha. I board on 4-7. Who knows who will be there! 

Yes, Frenchie was supposed to get on board on the 9th, but they are switching her to the Grand, instead.  Alex told me he is now staying until May.  But now Scott has replaced Jaclyn?  Sigh.

Are you onboard? If so, could you provide a picture?

I will board on 9 March. Thus Mt interest.

I want to know about others. Some are not even on these lists. 😉 But seeing the picture of the board will allow for updating the list.

Well, post #1293 has the photographs of  Ruby officers from earlier this month.

I just asked for someone on the Ruby to take a picture of the board for me. We'll see who it is...this week. 😉 

Won't make a difference.  Alex Valcan is still there, already on the picture board.  But i just got word from Alex.  He is staying until sometime in May.

Please do not attempt to update the chart with a single entry.  You need to have included all of the changes since the last posting of a chart.  Otherwise, it just becomes out-of-date and harder to fix.  Thanks for trying.

I think I am going to give up at trying to keep track.  Yesterday, Caroline Desbuquois was going to the Ruby on March 9th.  Today she told me she was just informed, no, she is going to the Grand.  Date unknown (to me).  Sigh...

Caroline "Frenchie" Desbuquois takes over as Entertainment Director on the Ruby, 9 March.

That was fast!

 

And now yesterday Alex told me he is getting off on the 9th and the ED will be Frencie.  The world is moving too fast for me.

Natalie is going going gone from the Ruby, her short standin time is finished.  The new Entertainment Director is now Alex Valcan.

Update to the Discovery. Captain Holland will be leaving the Discovery on 11/25/23. I assume Captain Smith will be returning then but there's no way of knowing. 

Yes, there is a way.

From Princess, today:

"Another highly experienced and talented mariner has been promoted to Captain.

Alessandro Genzo takes command of Discovery Princess on November 25."

Thanks for the warning. Please ask them for the intel about the successors if you can! (assuming you are on the TA?)

Matt said Kaitlyn (didn't get a last name) and Corinne says Aaron Hawkins (he's already listed on the officer table).

NOTE the change to ED (now Matt Thompson instead of Matt Barnard)

Thanks for the Sky.  But don't memorize it, Matt and Corinne have both told me they are getting off before the month is gone.

Thanks! I guess I didn't go back enough pages 😄.  Any opinions?

Nope.  Never sailed with him but what little I've seen was nice.  Actually, what I did was go to FB and searched for "Cole AND Cruise Director".  I do not know if he is otherwise listed in these pages.

Does anyone know of a CD or current assistant CD named Cole? A couple of the Journey View activities for 11/29 Discovery Princess say "join your cruise director Cole". I've never noticed that named mentioned here.

Cole Bockman?  Just left Ruby Princess.
