wolfcathorse Posted August 13, 2014 Author #2151 Share Posted August 13, 2014 wolfcathorse will be back soon, I'm sure. Gina yes, Gina, I am on my way home, I'll be home Wednesday night. The hospital got to the bottom of what was ailing my 91 yr old Mom so I have a diagnosis and prognosis so I can come home even though she's not discharged from the hospital yet. She insisted I didn't extend my stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighterhoop Posted August 13, 2014 #2152 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Second Captain on Anthem will be Gus Andersson. He will only be doing one contract on the Quantum when she comes out, and then move on to the pre-build on the Anthem. He advised us of this in June on the Enchantment.

Saab4444 Posted August 13, 2014 #2153 Share Posted August 13, 2014 So maybe the first Captain of Anthem will be Gus Andersson and not Claus Andersen as reported earlier? This would be an interesting Information for me as we travel with Anthem in May 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be an interesting Information for me as we travel with Anthem in May 2015. Each ship has 2 Captains that do a usual 10 week rotation. It is very possible that Captain Gus will be rotating with Captain Claus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted August 14, 2014 #2160 Share Posted August 14, 2014 That would make sense as per Karen's last chart. I wonder who will be rotating with Captain Dahlgren on QU. It seems there is sudden confusion now since someone mentioned two captains with similar last names, pronounced the same. On Quantum it was originally to be Capt. Gus and Capt. Patrik. Capt. Patrik has taken a promotion to a shoreside position in the main office. Whether or not he will be on board for a brief rotation for the inaugural remains to be seen. So....for what we know the two regular captains on Quantum at first seem to be Capt. Gus and Capt Srecko Ban. Capt. Ban has already told people he has been assigned to Quantum. There was question as to when he would be going there. Maybe all 3 captains will be on board for the inaugural. I do know at least 2 will be there and one will be in command, the other in plain clothes. At one point in the not too distant past one of those named captains said, and I heard, that he would be on board for the sailing I'm on, with his family, in plain clothes. Are they trying to keep us guessing? It sounds complicated. But it is probably being made more complicated than it is because of the Anderson, Anderssen thing being thrown out there.

Saab4444 Posted August 14, 2014 #2163 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Now Captain Gus tool over the first Anthem asignment in the list and Captain Claus is second. Also Captain Srecko is still not in the list. i believe all this information is still not very reliable. Other cruise lines like NCL, Princess and Cunard have done a much better job in announcing their Captains of new ships well in advance to the public. By the way: Andersen is the Norwegian and Andersson the Swedish ending in the name ( even if in this case I believe both living in SA but coming originally from Norway).

He's also one of the rare captains who always shows up for the bridge tour. He does a great job of smashing his dessert, too, without getting it on those seated beside him.
