Current Captains Con't

[rubrrick]

Karen, Captain Henrik is still on board Anthem until at least the start of the March 27th cruise which is when we board. I'll try to find out something then for you and post here.

 

Sorry Patti, I thought that you were already aboard.

How I wish. Just about packed and ready to go.:D

[wolfcathorse]

thanks Rick and Patti, I'm afraid RCI has booted Capt Claus. They don't stand behind their masters. I hope I'm wrong...again.

They could be keeping Captain Claus on the "down low" until the dust settles with lawsuits and "investigations."

 

Does anyone have any insights into who will be Mastering Empress?

[Clarea]

That would be most unfortunate.

Can you elaborate? I haven't seen anything to back this up, other than the obvious -- he's not on Anthem. :confused:

 

It would make corporate guest relations out to be disingenuous, in response to those of us who wrote letters to Michael Bayley in support of Captain Claus.

I also don't like being lied to.

Same here. I got the same email. Has anyone written back asking when Capt Claus will return to the ship?

[internetwhiz]

By the way, Captain Angel Oviol boarded Enchantment on March 21, and will become the Master on the March 28 sailing. He is a personable, affable person with much sailing experience for RC and Pullmantur.

Do you know which Captain he is replacing? McDuff has been a fixture on Enchantment since it's Baltimore days.

Capt Toni is supposed to go off April 11. The beginning of April, RCI is holding an Environmental seminar for their captains (I know of another one that is cutting his vacay short to attend). Could this guy just be a temporary promo so that Capt Shawn and Capt Toni can attend?

So does anyone have any updated and confirmed information on Capt. Claus?

Only rumors and they are not good.

Patti will have the real scoop next week.

[Seaworthy01]

I read the one about him getting the boot, Hoping that is not the case.

Hello

 

Being a newbie, is there a way to look up or find out who and if Capt. Manrique

will be replaced April 10 sailing from Brazil to Venezuela on the Rhapsody?

This is off the list, as I understand it they rotate every 6 months.

So it looks like the answer to your question is no.

 

Rhapsody OTS - Capt Dimas Manrique (started rotation 1-31-16)

Rhapsody OTS - Capt Johnnes

[internetwhiz]

Aren't Captains generally 10 weeks on, 10 weeks off? Has that changed?

[Clarea]

Aren't Captains generally 10 weeks on, 10 weeks off? Has that changed?

That's the way I understand it, with some minor variations if mutually agreed by the two Captains.

[Cruisedafewtimes]

If I follow in your 10 week rotation, I have not seen Captain Johnnes before. Has he just been promoted from Staff Captain or did I just miss him.

I did see Captain Ron Hempstead that was on the Rhapsody before being moved on to the Oasis after one week of familiarization and starting in March there.

My mistake. I don't know what I was thinking about. It happens a little to often anymore.

 

10 Weeks, yea, that's what I meant;)

I am on RH now and Capt Dimas had his Captain's Corner this morning. He said he will have a longer than usual contract and will sign off on May 13 in Venice.
