Yvie Posted January 17, 2012 #251 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi Kathy, The last time I communicated with Willie he said he would be back on board around Jan 22 and he would be in the CL. When we were on the Freedom 11/27 Amit told us he would be in the DL when we returned in Feb so that's the line up from Amit and Willie. I am guessing Rahul will go on vacation soon but I don't know that for a fact!Helen We were on the Freedom sailing ending Jan. 8 and Rahul said he was leaving soon (I thought he said in a week) to go on vacation.

Dave85 Posted January 17, 2012 #253 Share Posted January 17, 2012 That's because we can't remember how to spell or pronounce it!:D I got a response from Reyno to my email about Charmaine and I'll let you figure out what it means. He wrote " she is a Diamond Concierge and she was to become the suite Concierge on the Rhapsody...". The way I interpret that is that after Rhapsody comes out of dry dock, she will be the new Concierge. But, then you know how quickly things can change at RCI.:rolleyes: Sounds like a reasonable interpretation to me. She was D concierge on Oasis before performing the vacation replacement on Enchantment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted January 17, 2012 #254 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Can anyone comment on Luca's service on Mariner, please? Nadia is going to be a hard act to follow. And I have never heard of Luca before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's strange as Rhapsody does not have either a CL nor DL at the moment. That is going to change when the ship goes into dry dock in March.

That is going to change when the ship goes into dry dock in March. I'm quite sure that's the ship he said- maybe it is getting a CL? He said it was being overhauled, and then his life was changing considerable as he heads to a smaller ship to do Australia and Alaska.

Yes, Rhapsody is scheduled to get both a CL and a DL when she goes into dry dock. Sounds like he is going home on vacation for 2 months and then meeting up with the ship as, according to the RCI website, she is going into dry dock in April of this year. Sure will be a change for him after being on a Freedom class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catball Posted January 18, 2012 #264 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Who will be taking Isreal's place on VOS? No one knows who is taking Isreal's place. We got an email from him and it hasn't been decided. We will be on the Voyager Feb 11 to Mar 3 so will try to find out and let you know. Hate to see Isreal go we all love him.

torpeedo Posted January 20, 2012 #267 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I emailed Amit today in the Diamond Lounge and I just heard back from him. He will be on the Freedom until 2/19 so we will fortunately, but sadly:(, be able to say goodbye to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbob7 Posted January 20, 2012 #268 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I just received an email from Fernando for my Adventure cruise next week. First of all, enjoy your cruise next week, wishing you smooth seas and sunny skies! Second, if you get a chance, perhaps you could ask Fernando if he has any news of Reshma. We met her last January and very much enjoyed doing so, and were hoping she might still be the concierge on the Adventure in December when we re-visit for another Southern Caribbean cruise. Thanks! bobj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBe Posted January 23, 2012 #269 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Me too :( Amit was absolutely fabulous! Maybe I'll have to track him down on an Alaska route :) Just puzzled, what is Amit going to do on the Rhapsody since I did not think that ship had a CL? Amit is our favorite, hate to see him wonder off the Freedom reservation!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpeedo Posted January 23, 2012 #270 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Amit is joining the Rhapsody after dry dock and I think, no sure, that they are adding a Concierge Lounge to the ship. RCI has not said what's happening in dry dock but since Amit is going there, it might mean a Concierge Lounge is coming?? I will ask him when I see him on 2/12. Often the Concierge is promoted to Guest Relations so maybe that's what he'll be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy May Posted January 23, 2012 #271 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I got an email from Amit last night. He said he would be taking care of the suites, set up the lounge and policies. The Freedom just won't be the same without Amit. He is such a delight. I may have to go on the Rhapsody just to see him. Sherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBe Posted January 23, 2012 #272 Share Posted January 23, 2012 That certainly will be good news about a CL on the Rhapsody but kind of not so good that Amit will leave the Freedom. I am able to hop on the Freedom a lot easier here in Florida as opposed to going out West. Good for him in any event:)! Let us know what you find out after your 2/12 cruise, torpeedo.
