And there is a very large Italian population in Argentina.

 

While this may be true, the nationality of the Captain is always specified by the country that he or she is actually from. E.g., I'm sure you've heard the introductions at the Captain's Cocktail Party: "Your hotel manager, So and so, from Norway."

 

I know from many cruises on Carnival that the introductions are always done the same way with the Italian senior officers (always specified as being from Italy.)

Out of curiosity, is there a way to see what captains were on previous ships/sailings? For example, could I possibly find out who was on my January 2008 sailing of the Explorer?

 

sorry, i do not have a link to the archived Current Captains (2006-2011).

Had Captain Diego for our 1/15 Navigator cruise. Heard towards the end that he was actually standing in for Captain Nyseter and all the Captains were at a meeting. Don't know if that's the case or not?

 

Yes, the annual captains meeting was held beginning 1-16-12 aboard Liberty of the Seas. In the past they've held them at resorts (last year it was Las Vegas) so maybe RCI is tightening the belt for itself too!

Capt. Johnny grew up in Sandnessjoen, a small town off the coast of northern Norway. After completing his military service in the Royal Norwegian Navy, he joined RCI's Song of Norway as an Ordinary Seaman. He later joined the Norwegian Naval Academy to study navigation and ship's handling. After spending time sailing around the globe as a Navigation Officer and Captain on oil, ore, car, and lumber carriers, he returned to RCI and was ultimately promoted to Captain in 1994. In 1998 he was appointed to the position of Start-Up Captain for all of the Voyager class ships. (taken from an earlier "Behind the Name Tags".

Captain Johnny was not the start up Captain for all Voyager class ships .Captain Svein Pettersen was the Captain for the Voyager. Captain Arnolf Remo was Captain for Adventure ,Captain Leif Otto Bang for the Navigator and Captain Johnney for the Mariner. So it was only one of the voyager class ships.It slips my mind who the Captain was for the Explorer.

Note that it was quoting "Behind the Name Tags"--put out by RCI on the ships when you board:rolleyes:. Of course, it won't be the first time incorrect info has been given out;).

Captain Faevelen was "start up captain" for the whole Voyger class, which does not mean he was in first command on any but MA.

The first EX Master was Olav Nyseter.

Karen, just heard from someone on Explorer. Yesterday he posted this ...

 

I am on the explorer as of this posting.Yesterday was such a strange day for sure.

We change course at 3am ast. The announcement came from our " NEW CAPTAIN ". @ 8am

We were later told that the original captain went on vacation , that just seems strange.

 

This morning I got this response to who was in charge ..

We started the cruise with Captain Tore Grimstad and we returned with Henirk Lot

There is nothing strange about changing captains mid cruise. Btw looks like capt Grimstad is a new captain.
