wolfcathorse Posted September 14, 2015 Author #2901 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just off Radiance for the 9-4 thru 9-11 roundtrip Vancouver and Captain Goran started off as our cpt. but then it seemed Captain Juan took over...any reason why? Capt Goran may be in Europe for a meeting (Capt Henrik from ID has left for a meeting) or he may have had a family emergency at home. Capt Juan is probably the staff captain taking over for him until he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted September 16, 2015 #2902 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thank you guys for helping me out. I had received a message from Captain Johnny several months ago--probably before he knew he would be on duty in November. I can hope he will still be there on November 8. He is such a joy to have on board and I'm sure my husband and I will sail on the Harmony n the future--maybe late next year. We don't cruise in the summer--more expensive and more children. Thank you again for your help--to all that responded to my post Captain Johnny has 2 more contracts on Allure. Then Harmony. Due back in a month to start the 1st of those contracts.

kimala Posted September 16, 2015 #2903 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Do the captains rotate every other week? sorry probably says somewhere in this post but I can't find it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 16, 2015 #2904 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Do the captains rotate every other week? sorry probably says somewhere in this post but I can't find it. Thanks No, they usually rotate every around 10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjlee3333 Posted September 28, 2015 #2908 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Captian Espen Been will be transferring to Freedom. On facebook someone said that their friend who had supper at the captains table Saturday said it would be after this cruise. I was thinking that on the September 11 cruise he said it would be about a month. I don't remember for sure who it was mentioned that was taking his place other than it was a name starting with O so switching with Captain Olson from Freedom might be what is happening. It was mentioned that Captain Thrond Holm would probably be on our December 9 cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowbird1 Posted September 30, 2015 #2913 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Capt Espen Been will be on the Freedom for the Oct 4, 2015 sailing, not sure if he will overlap for a week with the current Capt.

I am on the Grandeur now and he announced this. yes, I have a note to move him there. It may be protocol to do an overlap so his official rotation start date would be Oct 11. I know of another captain that's getting moved and he told me his official rotation start date is the week he's solely responsible on the ship, in other words, the week after the overlap.

Our next FR cruise is on 1-10-2016. I know when there's an overlap, the rotation doesn't start until the new master is on his own. If Espen hits the ground running, and is the master in charge on Oct 4 then that's when his rotation starts. If Capt Tor is on Oct 4, then Capt Espen's rotation doesn't officially start until Oct 11.

wolfcathorse Posted October 1, 2015 Author #2920 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Do we know where they are moving Capt. Olsen? I hope he's not retiring... I've heard one report that he was going to Grandeur to take Been's spot. There also are 4 masters that have recently taken fleet captain positions in Miami, Capt Tor could be one of them. I don't know which 1 retired, I don't know which 4 are shoreside now, but I do know that Capt Tiege is on a leave of absence (ailing parent) and Capt Karin resigned (ailing parents but she could come back).

The four Captains RCI recently asigned to fleet captains are not from the current captains list. Captain Dahlgren is fleet captain for Celebrity, Captain Pedercini is fleet captain for Azamara and the other positions are fleet captain for RCL and SVP marine operations for all brands. Both positions are filled by other already land based executives (sorry I do not have the names on hand at the moment, but both are Americans or Canadians). Captain Zini is now in charge of the China joint venture operation with the former Celebrity Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miryam1234 Posted October 1, 2015 #2924 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I met Captain Toni Calne briefly last Saturday - we were standing in line to enter the same restaurant as he here in Turku, Finland. He recognized us from a cruise last year when he had invited us to his table on Halloween night. I sure hope he recalls us because of a positive impact as it was him greeting us first! Talking about a small world and a very tiny city of Turku. Anyways, he said that he would return to Adventure on Oct 31st. Just FYI. (and please do forgive me, I dont actually know the rules how to give out information to this list). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
