You're welcome, Judy. I took pictures of the staff/officers' names from the board near the purser's desk so I won't forget them. I think their contracts are shorter than those of the crew members (an Aug. 1 update indicated another captain once again). If you're staying in one of the suites, please say hello to Mark. He's really one outstanding butler (I think most people will agree). He should be onboard until end of Nov. I heard that some (if not most) staff are extending their contracts till end of Nov. or early Dec. Have a great cruise!

 

I'm so glad to hear that many may still be on the DAWN in October.

We're on the Dawn for 21 days - October 31 to Bermuda & then Nov 7 Repo to NOLA. We're in a suite and I will definitely look for Mark & say hello for you - except I don't know your name.:)

I've heard others speak highly of Virginia.

I'm sure we'll get to know her.

I am actually hoping some of the names change as the only one I recognized is Mark Santos (and I am glad he'll still be on board when we sail!). :)

 

Happy for you Cubechick. If your suite is located on Deck 9, Mark will likely be your butler since he'll be finishing that deck rotation in Nov. Please send my best to him. I understand that he may be transferred to another ship after his vacation this year given that he's had 3 contracts already on the Dawn. Too bad for the Dawn but he'll be an excellent addition to whichever ship he'll be moving. What is it like in Bermuda at the time you're sailing? Thx!

Hi Judy - Wow! You must really love the Dawn and I completely understand why. Definitely envious. Wish I can do a 21-day cruise or longer, but retirement is not coming soon enough :). Please give Mark a hug from me. He'll know if you say "XO". If your suite is one of the forward suites, you'll likely get Edna as your suite attendant. She's also fantastic. Please also give her a hug for me.

Karabi was the Concierge when I was onboard. I don't know if Virginia is going back to the Dawn. Happy, happy sailing to you and Rol! Keep us posted.

Mark is hoping to go on vacation for Christmas. If he manages to get off during Christmas it will be his first time for many years to spend the holidays at home. It will be a surprise to his family, he is really very excited about it. Hoping it works out for him.

 

Mark told us the same thing and we're truly happy and excited for him. Praying that everything works out for him - there's fear that his contract may be extended which will result in him missing Christmas with his family again :(.

Yes, we love the Dawn and the Star, her sister ship.

We've been on the Dawn twice before and the

Star - I'm not sure - 8 times I think.

It is a great size - not too big & not too little.

 

Great officers and crew on both ships.

We'll have to learn all of the Dawn staff since we haven't been on her in a while.

That's OK though.

I hear good things about many of these folks.

Enjoy your sailing, Judy. I planned on being back onboard the week of Oct24 to celebrate my birthday. Had a change of heart - doing QM2 instead, it'll be different, I guess, but for sure not as warm as the Dawn.

Early Happy Birthday.

I'm sure the Dawn folks will miss you, but

I'm also sure you'll have a wonderful time on the QM2.

HD is Richard, but I don't know the rest.

He is a Frenchman.

 

Judy

 

Thank you. We heard awhile back that John D'Souza was the concierge and I really hope he is still on the Jewel when we board in less than 3 weeks now. He was on the Jewel with us before and he was fantastic. We've never tipped anyone more than we tipped John for his excellent service and attentiveness.

I have heard that John D'Souza is excellent.

I have never met him, but hope to one of these days.
