happy cruisin Posted September 19, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi does anyone know where I can find the current Captains on P&O ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobboM Posted September 19, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I'm pretty sure that the current captains are listed in the latest edition of P&O's Portunus Magazine. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEESRE Posted September 20, 2010 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yes the Captains and other staff members are listed at the back of the Portunus Brochure. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CASPALL Posted September 20, 2010 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I never get a Portunis mag sent to me now and wonder do they still post them out? I can't be bothered with the online thing - it's just not the same. Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brayman Posted September 20, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yes, they still post them out. Just drop them an email and ask if you are still on their list - worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl The ex-OV'ers don't get a copy of the Portunis mag until they have booked their first P&O cruise. Would be nice to know who was on Ventura or Oceana next year. Maybe its the lovely Ian Hutley who we've managed to miss every time. ;) Gixxer said he was DDDG..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASPALL Posted September 25, 2010 #14 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Can you tell me who's the captain on Azura October/November please? Also who is the cruise director? Thanks :) Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUMB Posted September 26, 2010 #15 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thanks Rob, looks like Captain Reid maybe marrying us in 6 weeks time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 26, 2010 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Last week on Azura, the Captain was Dowd - an Irishman. Never heard anything from him, except when we were leaving each port. Had a wonderful Captain on Artemis who gave us lovely commentaries as we went up the Bosphorus. They're all different! Our Cd was Neil Oliver - never saw him either, except to introduce the shows each night. On Artemis we had Christine Noble. She was always out and about in the ship, chatting with people. Doesn't actually matter one bit, just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobboM Posted September 26, 2010 #17 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Caryl, Azura Captain - Keith Dowds 5/09 - 21/11 then Paul Brown 21/11 - 18/02. CD - Laura Bennison 21/09 - 27/11 Rob ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASPALL Posted September 26, 2010 #19 Share Posted September 26, 2010 We've never been on a ship with Captain Dowds before. Is he one of the nice captains who you always see around the ship? I remember when we were on Ventura - I don't think we ever saw the captain. CAryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 26, 2010 #20 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Caryl, never saw him except at Captain's cocktail party and heard him at a couple of ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we were on Ventura - I don't think we ever saw the captain. CAryl Yes, he is often around the ship and i can confirm he - and his wife - are delightful. We spent a whole cruise dining with them on Arcadia and a year later he not only remembered us by name, but made several generous gestures towards us too. A thoroughly nice couple.

CAryl Caryl It was probably Keith Dowds as he was Captain on Ventura for quite a while as well. I think the only time we saw him was at the Welcome Aboard party. Still, he got us into and out of every port safely which I suppose is what you want from a Captain. Debbie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 26, 2010 #23 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I agree, not really necessary to see him but a few folk commented on his lack of saying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancashire_cruisers Posted September 26, 2010 #24 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Jean He was the same on Ventura - no comments or broadcasts from him. However, you can also get the other extreme as on our Oriana cruise earlier this year when Capt. Burgess did a broadcast every morning at 7.45am to 8am whether in port or at sea - he was like your own personal alarm clock! Debbie:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 26, 2010 #25 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hee hee, the guy on Artemis was a bit like that - not quite though. He really did give a wonderful talk as we were going up the Bosphorus. Really made our day. It was just the same when I was flying. Some Captains said nothing to the passengers, others either chatted away or even came out into the cabin and got in the way whilst we were serving food!
