DonnaK Posted June 23, 2013 Author #76 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Can someone find out from Leigh (Explorer) what date his break starts (and possibly what date he will be returning?) Same for Carly (Jewel) and Rich (Liberty)? Can someone find out who will be covering Richard's break on Freedom? Thanks! I appreciate everyone's help! I couldn't maintain the list without all of you!

Clarea Posted June 23, 2013 #77 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Is there a way to contact the CD? We are sailing the Vision. I have volunteered to plan a few activities for our roll call. I think there's a way to contact the concierge or the activities manager, who can take care of this for you. Can someone step in and provide the contact info, please? I would check Facebook for your CD. Our roll call was able to arrange with to have Marc Walker join our informal M&M on the last Monarch cruise by contacting him though Facebook.

So someone else must be filling in until then, while Mitch is on vacation between MJ and GR. I need to sort out this conflicting info before I update the list. I contacted Mitch Merucci via facebook and this is his reply: " I am on MJ until July 19 then Dave comes back until Dec 20 when I come back to relieve him again. In the meantime I go on vacay and GR Aug 16-Oct 25." Edited June 26, 2013 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted June 26, 2013 #90 Share Posted June 26, 2013 If John Blair is now gone from Enchantment, shouldn't his name be dropped from the list as it's now written? I thought it might be less confusing with Marc Walker listed as the current CD, if he is in fact there. Just for simplicity of course.

DonnaK Posted June 28, 2013 Author #94 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Can someone cruising on these ships inquire onboard (or if you are in touch with any of these CD's via social media, can you ask them): Explorer: What date does Leigh's break start, and what date does his break end? Jewel: What date does Carly's break start, and what date does her break end? Liberty: What date does Rich's break start, and who will be the next CD? Allure: Can anyone confirm that Allan Brooks is indeed the CD covering Ken's break June 23-Aug 4? Legend: How long will Mercedes be onboard? Mariner: How long will Jimmy be onboard? Navigator: How long will Simona be onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
