Pagonis to Pullmantour

[Orator]

Had dinner with Capt. Pagonis last night. Told us that he was going to Pullmantour to become VP of Operations. Also mentioned that Staff Captain Tasos Kafetzis has just been promoted to Captain and will be going to Constellation. They presented a moving tribute to Captain Pagonis at the Captain's toast. Wish him well.

Yep, I think he wanted to be closer to family/home. :(

 

But, I am glad for him.

I was just on Reflection with Captain Pagonis....such a wonderful gentleman - he will surely be an asset to Pullmantour.....glad I had the opportunity to sail with him. Good luck Captain.....

Whilst sorry to see Captain Pagonis leave "X", his will be a well deserved promotion, as don't forget that Pullmantur (correct spelling) although based in, and catering for, the Spanish market, is another company within the RCCL group.

Pullmantur, the world's first all-inclusive mainstream line, although mainly catering to Spanish speakers, has English as their fleet's second language onboard and thus expanding their marketing. Celebrity and RCI fans will recognize their ships, Zenith, Horizon, Empress, Sovereign and Monarch in April 2013.

Hi Charles,

 

Thank you so much for this information. Although sorry to see him go, what a great opportunity. Also happy to hear about Tasos. Any idea when he will be going to Constellation?

Do you know when Capt. Kafetzis will be going to Connie?

[Despegue]

As far as I know, Capt. Bouzakis is the new Master of the Celebrity Reflection.

Who will replace him when he goes on shore leave is unknown to me.

Bouzakis is aboard now. Don't know how long he will be aboard, but will try to find out when I see him.

That would be nice of you. We are sailing Reflection starting 9 March 2013. :)

My first response is Noooooo!

 

We sailed the 3 nighter and due to circumstances he was not able to be out.

 

Second response, Congratulations

Captains are normally 3 months on then 3 months off.

Pagonis told me that Tasos will be going on vacation and be on Connie in about 2 1/2 months.

Thanks for this information. I guess Capt.Franzis will be there next week?

We just came off Constellation after taking the May 20-June 1 Baltic Cruise with Captain Tasos on his first command as Captain. It was our first Celebrity (formerly have done Royal Caribbean and Holland America) cruise and we came away feeling great about him as Captain--seemingly very competent, serious where it counts as well as socially delightful and very funny when the situation called for it. We especially enjoyed his lectures ---we found them very interesting and well done.

What a lovely man. Sailed with him in 2009 on Solstice. Lectures were wonderful.

Congratulations.
