rodenboy Posted December 31, 2013 #830 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm not an expert with how long CD's are on a ship for before they change over, but if anyone has an idea as to who will be on the Allure August 24th 2014s am doing a 2 week back to back! Does anyone have any idea who we are likely to have? We had Allan before and he was a scream, he alone made the cruise worthwhile!

Does anyone have any idea who we are likely to have? We had Allan before and he was a scream, he alone made the cruise worthwhile! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk This is a tough one to predict, because sometime in the spring/early summer, Ken will be moving over to prep for Quantum. For the past several years, the regular pattern been 4 months on Allure for Ken followed by 2 months on for Allan. It remains to be seen how the pattern will be changing once Ken leaves Allure's rotation. Will someone else simply take over Ken's 4 months slot? Or, will Allan take over the 4 month contract, and someone else fill in for the 2 month break? Or, will Allan also be moving, and a new duo will be taking over this rotation? If Allan's part of this rotation stays the same, then he would be scheduled to start a contract around mid to late August.

DonnaK Posted December 31, 2013 Author #836 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Anyone have an update on Dave Chapman, is he still with RCCL?? See posts 744 and 780 Check back a few pages. You asked this question several times already, and I answered you each time. He was on Oasis September 14 until November 16. Now he is on his break. He should be returning in January or February. As soon as I know what ship he'll be assigned to, I will update the list. PS: Here is his FB page. Maybe you can send him a private message asking him about his schedule: https://www.facebook.com/david.chapman.752487 Edited December 31, 2013 by DonnaK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted December 31, 2013 #838 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Talked to Rich on Liberty yesterday and he confirmed Amy Flickertis replacing him on Liberty of the Seas. Rich is a CD with nonstop energy and hope to sail again with him as CD. :cool: ...actually we are sailing on Jan 13th, and Feb 1st, Super Bowl cruise....so won't see Amy until our 3/20/14 cruise. Just got back from a B2B on the L I berth and was going to post this same info. Rich said Amy would be on until the end of April. Either the 24'th or the 28'th I can't remember exactly.

mommabean Posted January 2, 2014 #842 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just something to keep in mind. Amy has not had a replacement named for her on Radiance so she "may" be extended there. She is scheduled to sign off on the 3rd of February - only tentatively. What we do know is that Bobby and Becky aren't going back to Radiance. They may end up on a ship in Europe closer to the UK. Which one and when, I don't know. The aren't making it easy for you, are they? :) Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list seems to be subject to lots of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
