SherriZ366 Posted July 27, 2013 #1453 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Another thought about Captain Grimstad taking over Allure -- Freedom goes to most of the same ports except for Nassau so he has experience with those ports. On our Feb. FR cruise, we had to divert to Nassau to offload a sick passenger and Captain Grimstad was the master. No problem docking in Nassau for the 20 minutes we were there. And the port was full of other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is "Extreme Cruise Ship" (Oasis of the Seas) and the second "Ultimate Cruise Ship/Feedom" Hopefully you can find them On Demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted July 27, 2013 #1456 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Can anyone tell me how the rotation works for the Explorer and I'll try to figure it out Thanx Captains usually rotate every 10 weeks, but can vary by a week or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfcathorse Posted July 27, 2013 Author #1458 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Looks like captain Strazicic has been with the Indy since day 1. he's only been there about 4 years so any time he could be moved. I remember moving him on the chart from one ship to Indy, but I can't remember which one it was. Enchantment perhaps??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfcathorse Posted July 27, 2013 Author #1459 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I know this is a long shot but.........................could anyone take a quess at who might be the captain of the Explorer for next May 22nd LOL Have a great weekend!! Thanks for your help this is difficult to say as Capt Olav has announced he's retiring this year so by next May he shouldn't be 1 of the captains assigned to Explorer.

Topo Gigio Posted July 28, 2013 #1462 Share Posted July 28, 2013 he's only been there about 4 years so any time he could be moved. I remember moving him on the chart from one ship to Indy, but I can't remember which one it was. Enchantment perhaps??? Indy came out around May of 2008 and I went in Dec and he was the captain. So he has been there for 5 years now. Wasn't captain Jhonny also captain on the Mariner for quite some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't captain Jhonny also captain on the Mariner for quite some time? Yes, Captain Johnny brought Mariner out of the shipyard in 2003 and was on her until he went to Allure in 2010.

What a personable and gracious man he was back then. I'm sure he is just as personable and gracious in his position as Master.

But as we have 2 other cruises booked on FR (5-2014 & 2-2015), we may have him as our Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
