Rare RCCL Fan Posted October 24, 2014 #2102 Share Posted October 24, 2014 slightly off topic, but anyone know Richard Spacey's longterm assignment with Celeb? He was our favorite RCI CD, and the DW and I can't imagine him on Celeb, he will either be a whole new Richard, or a big shot of energy for Celeb, either way we want to book and see it!

DonnaK Posted October 25, 2014 Author #2103 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) slightly off topic, but anyone know Richard Spacey's longterm assignment with Celeb? He was our favorite RCI CD, and the DW and I can't imagine him on Celeb, he will either be a whole new Richard, or a big shot of energy for Celeb, either way we want to book and see it! The only info we have at this time is what I have posted here. I follow Richard on Twitter, and I am a frequent poster on the Celebrity boards, so as more info becomes available, I will update this list. When I was on the Summit in August, it was said that Celebrity is recruiting high energy CDs from other lines. It's one of the changes they are making in their entertainment department, which Richard was in charge of when he took over that corporate position last year.

I think that will make Celeb my new cruise line! I loved everything else except the ho hum atmosphere of the ship, and little energy... and maybe some wow factor ships, and I'm sold for life!!!

DonnaK Posted November 2, 2014 Author #2114 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Allure question: who will be there March 1-April? Sent from my iPhone using Forums It's not clear at the moment. Is Jerome's start date April 19 when the European season begins, or will he be onboard March 1 through the European season? I'm also concerned that the info we have regarding Joff has changed. He is tweeting from Quantum. It's not clear if he is onboard for the transatlantic, or if he just visited the ship when it was in port yesterday/today. Then, he said that Anthem is his next ship, with no mention of filling in on Allure in the interim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf2 Posted November 10, 2014 #2125 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) So I heard a rumor from a crewmember friend - that the new CD on Brilliance was from the Navigator (but he didn't know the name) - so . . . possibly Jeff will transfer? Lets see . . . . Being on Brilliance would be great for him as that ship (or whatever's in Tampa at the time), hosts the annual Ohio State Buckeye charter - his wife is an alumni and he hosts a few events for them. http://buckeyecruise.com/ Edited November 10, 2014 by sf2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
