wolfcathorse Posted April 30, 2016 Author #3501 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Not sure how the rotation thing works, so is Cpt Henrik or Cpt Nielsen on there at the moment ? I dunno...I never heard which one said they were bringing her out. Is Ovation in service yet? What day did she start her freebie short cruises Edited April 30, 2016 by wolfcathorse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza999 Posted April 30, 2016 #3502 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) She had her maiden voyage last week, we are sailing on her in 3 days time. Cpt Henrik was the captain on my first cruise on the Independence a couple of years back, so just wondered.

monorail81 Posted May 1, 2016 #3506 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I don't pay much attention to the newer ships as they're all in a class i don't like I agree! Just off the Allure today for the first time. We didn't like the ship at all. No quiet spaces to escape the constant noise. Very sad that Capt. Holmes is now her Master instead of the Freedom. He's one of our favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagsfan Posted May 1, 2016 #3508 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Is the second captain listed for each captain the relief captain? I see Captain Rob Hempstead started his rotation 3/26/16.

Firefighterhoop Posted May 1, 2016 #3510 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Is the second captain listed for each captain the relief captain? I see Captain Rob Hempstead started his rotation 3/26/16. Does that mean he will be on board 6/11? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app The 2 captains rotate 10 weeks on 10 weeks off (APPROXIMATELY). Judging by that date, he should be Off by then as it will be over 10 weeks. However, there are a lot of captains moving around right now, therefore many Captains are extending their contracts to cover the Captain that is coming or leaving for another ship so the rotations have been anything but normal lately.

Thank you for your help I would use the day of handover as starting date. That was April 8. Before that date the ship was driven by Meyer Yard Captain including the river Ems passage. Since April 8 Captain Henrik is in charge. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted May 9, 2016 #3518 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I just want to though some praise at Capt Aris Medina from Navigator last week. He seems like such a gentleman with no ego issues and had excellent noon time anouncements as well as anouncements just before departing ports of call. I haven't been as impressed with a captain since Capt. Stig Nilsen when we sailed with him on Serenade years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
