TinaMaire2 Posted January 30, 2014 #77 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I will be on the Dawn the first week in March. Found out from the pre-cruise concierge that Patrick will be the concierge aboard during that time. Have read both good and not so good posts about him. Anyone else have an opinion? I would sure like to hear it. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpyNor Posted January 30, 2014 #79 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Since the Getaway is now officially a part of the fleet, let's start with her officers: Hotel Director – Sean Wurmhoeringer Asst. Hotel Director – Errol Nelson F&B Director – Martin Ivanov Executive Chef – Anil Chinthapattla Restaurant Manager – Deepak Gonsalves Bar Manager – Jose Contreras Executive HouseKeeper - Marites Sonza Guest Service Manager – Jocel Guzman Cruise Director – Julie Valeriote Captains: Rune Myre and Tommy Stensrud will alternate. Capt. Rune Myre was the captain on the transatlantic cruise to New York, but I know that captain Stensrud joined him in New York January 26th to start working on the Getaway as well.... Personally I have been on 15 NCL cruises so far, but have never had Rune Myre as captain. But I have done 4 cruises with capt. Tommy Stensrud as captain, and so far he is my favorite NCL captain. Very friendly and laid back, and very often walking around the ship and talking to passengers. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted January 30, 2014 #80 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hey, currently on the Spirit: Captain Kim Karlsson, HD Orazio Caci and CD Gio Artavia. Happy Weekend :-)! HD Orazio Caci left the Spirit on January 6th to work 2 months on the Gem, and after that he didn't know what ship he would be "send" to....

LAKECLIFF Posted January 30, 2014 #82 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I am told that Virginia will be our concierge on the Jewel. We sail on January 26 Looking for the officers that were there on the Jan. 19th-26th sailing. Was the best crew I ever sailed with and just can't remember all their names. The only one I can remember, because he gave us so much attention, was Messiah Ratzinger from Bavaria, head of bar/beverages (I think). He was always with a cute blond guy who was always checking on us in the restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJLVW Posted February 1, 2014 #89 Share Posted February 1, 2014 How long will Patrick be there? we are sailing in April. How was your experience with him? Have not heard much about him. Thanks Sorry I did not inquire from Patrick how long he would be on the Dawn. He was a really nice man. Quiet and laid back. It was his first week back on the Dawn. I think he may be still feeling his way around. He was a little different then all the other concierges I have had but again very nice just I found him verty pleasant just quiet. I didn't get to know him as I have most others. If I needed something I would call him. For the most part everything I asked for was done. :) I just don't ask for much. :) I think I am just so used to the concierge coming to see me, sitting down having a conversation, getting to know one another even though it is only for a week, checking on how everything is, that me having to seek him out was quite different. My expectations were high. I think each and every concierge is different and this is his way. I have had worse and I have had better. I had a great cruise and like I said whatever I needed if I asked I received. Hope this helps. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorklinbarb Posted February 1, 2014 #93 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi Barb - you may remember me from Norwegian Dawn and Epic a few years ago Have a great cruise on Breakaway, especially with Hugo (have not sailed with Prem, so cannot comment). Could you try and find out the reason for the recent mid-cruise captain switch? Ursula Hello there! Of course, I remember you - you had an extended stay on Epic as I recall. Something came up for a few days that caused Captain Hakan Svedung to be off the ship. He came right back on. I was surprised (we've sailed with him before) because I had read here just before the cruise that he had gone on vacation. Not so. He did a great job - such a smooth sailing both ways to the Caribbean which is certainly not usually the case! Hope to see you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorklinbarb Posted February 1, 2014 #94 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hey, Barb! Hugo told me he would still be there for our CTN this weekend! Did his plans change??? If those were the original plans, then definitely changed as Prem took over as HD as I'm sure you're finding out on the 2 nighter.;) Hugo was due for a well-deserved vacation and got off during our cruise.
