PH8 Posted November 28, 2012 Author #1251 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Diego is great, we had him on the Enchantment 5 years ago and we have kept in touch over the years. DD was 15 at the time and she called him Uncle D. They still communicate on Facebook from time to time. When you see him, let him know Ashley will be coming to see him (Uncle D) soon (Spring Break). He is one of the better ones......He looks kinda young.....is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy 4 cruising Posted November 28, 2012 #1252 Share Posted November 28, 2012 anyone know Diego Tripaldi (Jewel)?? I sailed with Diego on some ship, sorry can't remember which and he was fine. He is young!!! \ Thank you Rick; Champagne Bar here we come!!! I really did not care, for the 'concierge' in Sept!!!Franca Gustavo will be so good as a concierge. I do not think Betsy is a very good concierge. Don't expect her to do anything for you or follow through. We were on BR 4 cruises in 5 months & she was the concierge for 4 of them. She is personable, but does not follow through on things. Gustavo will be so good, he is so much fun. If you are on BR, go meet him at Guest Relations, you can't miss him, he is bigger than life, with a laugh and smile to match. CRUISEMAMI--IF they have an overflow lounge, go up there. That is where we spent all of our time at night. If Michael is the bartender, tell him his country mates from Texas say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasdata Posted November 28, 2012 #1253 Share Posted November 28, 2012 He looks kinda young.....is he? He looks younger than he is. He was in his 30's 5years ago so he is late 30's or early 40's by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to meet a new crew & ship going to the same ole ports. ;) NV Navigator – Ricardo Mock Yesterday I sent a quick email to Ricardo with a single question.

Debde Posted November 29, 2012 #1270 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Kathy, a slight change from what Franca is saying. I just received an email from Betsy Medrano, and she just confirmed that she has extended and is not now leaving the Brilliance till January. She did not give a date of her departure, but I can post it after I chat with her. The date for Betsy's departure is 1-19 return 3-2. I have had quite a few e-mail chats with her and she seems so nice, personable and very thorough. I for one was looking forward to meeting her.
