CookieDiva Posted April 8, 2016 #3452 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I thought I had seen Captain Ron Holmes not being on Freedom. Did that change? On the FOS now and Espen Been is still the captian. Seems like a nice guy and boy! does he impress us with his docking skills!!! But just a comment - his accent makes it a bit difficult for us (my husband and our friends) to catch his announcements. I do believe that the sound system plays a role in that. But as long as he sails safely, that's all that matters to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillpra Posted April 8, 2016 #3453 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Beth, If you get the chance, can you ask where Captain Ron Holmes is going if not back to the Freedom? Thanks and enjoy the rest of your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that change? it didn't change, I forgot to manually change the entry. I can't change it on the Excel program because I'm afraid of messing up Theron's work!

DEIx15x8 Posted April 13, 2016 #3462 Share Posted April 13, 2016 With the addition of Ovation, Empress, and Harmony in a one month period the Royal Caribbean fleet is now larger than it's ever been. Could the reason we don't know Empress' captain's be that she is keeping her Pulmantur captain or captains? Their already under contract by Royal Caribbean and that fleet is now one ship smaller.

shorehaven Posted April 13, 2016 #3464 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I posted on this thread back on the 5th January that Andre, the staff captain of Serenade had been appointed Captain but at that time did not know which ship he was going to command.

I have not noticed his name appear anywhere. he's not on the chart because nobody has posted what ship he's master on. And staff captains can be temporarily promoted to master then go back to staff captain once the need for another master is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
