cruiserdudebobby8 Posted June 1, 2017 #4156 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Now that Symphony is listed, does anyone have an idea as to who it may be?Captain Johnny confirmed his move to Harmony in June 2015 (11 months before HM entered service), so I am assuming Miami have chosen at least Captain by now. I'm curious to who will be the master of symphony Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherriZ366 Posted June 1, 2017 #4157 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I would guess Per Kristoffersen of Oasis or Tore Grimstad of Allure could be candidates. Both have many years experience of that class of ship and have been on their ships long enough to be moved. IMHO, I don't think they will choose a Captain that people have never really heard much of (or ones who are used to small ships) so I would rule out a select few already, but you can never tell.Captain Johnny is very well known, so it wasn't a surprise they gave him Harmony. I can't imagine it being someone totally random for Symphony. Interesting Captain Per is supposed to be our captain on the 8-20-2017 OA cruise. This Cruise has just had its itinerary reversed (2 sea days, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, at sea, Nassau) so it can pick up the Total Eclipse of the Sun on Aug. 21 rather than being docked in Nassau. It would be good to have a good Captain to do the different navigation for that cruise (I think the other good OA captain -- Captain Rob -- will be signing off a week or two before we board. The 8-20 cruise is now being billed the "Total Eclipse Cruise" with special events, foods, and a yet to be named Headliner.

This page below is a great resource to the eclipse, no matter where you may wish to view it. Oasis will have to drive north quite a bit to get in the path, then speed back south to get back on schedule.

It'll pass closer to Michigan that my hubby and I can take a short road trip south to be in the totality zone. That'll be a lot cheaper than being on a ship.

DebbieN167 Posted June 3, 2017 #4160 Share Posted June 3, 2017 What does "On rotation" mean? Is that their temporary leave? Wondering if Captain Johnny will be back on Harmony Sept. 3rd? Never had him, heard so much about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopster95 Posted June 9, 2017 #4167 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Jewel OTS - Capt Dustin Castelsky (started rotation 6-9-17) Jewel OTS - Capt Lis Thorolvsen Normally how long are "rotations"?

Clarea Posted June 9, 2017 #4168 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Normally how long are "rotations"? ... Usually 10 weeks on, 10 weeks off, though this can vary by mutual agreement between the two Captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... so 10 weeks from 6-9-17 is Aug 11, he won't be on my sailings :( Met him on Jewel Dec 2015, he's British Columbia born from my gf's hometown, would've been great to meet up with him again.

BCCarty85 Posted June 10, 2017 #4174 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Either of them would be a legitimate candidate. I cannot imagine it being given to someone who has no experience with the Oasis Class or much on the larger ships overall, so I would personally rule out most of those assigned to a Radiance or Vision Class ship, along with those currently on Empress and Majesty. I wouldn't necessarily rule out any of the current Captains simply on the basis of where they are now. Some of those on smaller ships may have significant experience with the larger vessels.

EMBFlyer Posted June 11, 2017 #4175 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I tweeted Captain Johnny and he replied at his starts his vacation on June 24th. So that would put Captain Gus as the Captain for my sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
