I believe that you are correct but regardless, he is definitely not Norwegian.:D

Wolfie is right and he will be relieved by Stig on present rotation July 7 in HEL.

And we'd be right in line behind you! Maybe RC could convince him to come out of retirement! :cool:

Nik Antalis is not retired but works as Port Captain for RCCL since 2008.

Capt Bill's ship will be Radiance of the Seas. To keep your master mariner license you have to actually master a ship every 3-5 years. So its time for the mighty captain to return to sea! Wish Capt Nik would decide to keep his license and go back to sea for a spin around the block!

Yes, it is not surprising that Bill Wright will return to the RD. I met him onboard when he and Kent Ringborn were the Masters from the beginning in 2001. In September 2001 he was promoted to SVP, Safety, Security & Environment.

Kent Ringborn retired in May 2005 and now lives in Portugal.

Stig Nilsen on JW started his rotation yesterday

She can swap with Captain Kasselas on the BR.

Captain Johnny was not the start up Captain for all Voyager class ships .Captain Svein Pettersen was the Captain for the Voyager. Captain Arnolf Remo was Captain for Adventure ,Captain Leif Otto Bang for the Navigator and Captain Johnney for the Mariner. So it was only one of the voyager class ships.It slips my mind who the Captain was for the Explorer.

 

Tj

Captain Faevelen was "start up captain" for the whole Voyger class, which does not mean he was in first command on any but MA.

The first EX Master was Olav Nyseter.

We were on Freedom in Nov. 2007 and Captain Tor was our captain. He was our captain in Feb. of this year and we were upgraded to a GS so I got to speak to him at the reception for suite guests.

Tor Olsen joined RCI many years ago. First Command was on Splendour of the Seas in 1998.

thank you for the info, anyone know who's on Vision now?? LOL

I am very happy to congratulate newly promoted Captain Lis Lauritzen, who will take over the VI as of August 10.

Magne Johansen is no longer with RCI.

I thought he was one of the captains for ID.

 

So what will he do now, hes not involved with Genesis build so will he go back to Liberty :confused:

No, Not involved in project Genesis directly. But perhaps in coming Freedom class ships ## 4 and 5!?!

When did capt Zini get off? and when is he back on again? he spent all that time getting her ready and then will not be there for her naming, that seems a little odd :mad:

Why is it "odd"? Hernan is not one of ID´s Masters, but he was onboard yesterday (together with Bill Wright).

FWIW - Indy comes out in May so Zini will be on until middle of June (maybe end of June). Then Capt Strazicic (Carol's Teo) takes over for a 10-14 wk rotation. That would put the next switch at around the end of Sept. So by the beginning of October, Capt Arnolf Remo should be onboard till close to the end of the year. They may switch again just before Christmas. So Capt Teo would be on at the beginning of 2009.

Captain Strazicic is in command now.

Thanks for the info :D

And now it´s changed back again to 09.00

Both ships vill be in Oslo on Monday. JW will arrive 0630 and ID 0900, but at different terminals. JW at the container harbour Sorenga and ID at the cruise terminal at Akershuskai.

Latest info from ID says ETA OSL 00.30 April 21.

I am curious what you like better about this one of the Freedom class more than the Freedom or Liberty?:)

Indeed a very good question emmy!

Good to hear that everything is on schedule. I will be on her next Tuesday in Oslo so will post pictures then. I am not sure whether she will arrrive Monday evening or not. They will have to take Jewel of the Seas out of the port first.
