DonnaK Posted June 17, 2015 Author #3045 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Where is Chris Brown?Well, he was on Voyager from Dec 7 until mid March, and then went on break. Haven't heard anything about him since then. A typical break can last 2 to 4 months. Is his promotion to CD meant to be permanent, or was he just filling in for just the one time?

The_Cruising_Queen Posted June 18, 2015 #3048 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Not sure if you know, but on my last cruise on Navigator, Jeff Arpin was the CD, but I had a chance to speak with John Perry personally who happened to be onboard for "vacation". He told me he will not be back on Navigator until July. Also he has no idea whether or not he will go with the Navigator when it relocates to Fort Lauderdale, or stay in Galveston to be CD on Liberty.

John has a family member who posts his plans to this thread, so that's where I got the info that's currently listed. Things probably changed since the last time she posted. Thanks for the update!
