Is Inger Olsen still captain of the Queen Victoria?

[PunkiC]

I hope so as I think having a female captain is very cool.

 

Does anyone have a current list of officers from the Queen Victoria?

 

We usually said Princess and they always list the senior officer in the Patter on the first day. Do they do something similar on Cunard? If anyone has such a current list, I would love to see it.

 

Thank you.

[Glenndale]

It looks as if Inger Olsen is currently on board QE

As so often, you should find what you need in the Ask Cunard FAQs - https://ask.cunard.com/help/cunard/fleet/senior_officers.

Thank you both so very much. That is extremely helpful.

Inger Olsen is definitely on QE now. I had an email from her the other day.

Is the Cunard Entertainment Director the same as the Cruise Director on other ships?

No, he's smaller.

Yes.

[pmb1]

P.S. Based on my archived Daily Programmes, sometime between May, 2006, and January, 2008, the Cruise Director became the Entertainment Director.

 

And the Staff Captain became the Deputy Captain sometime between November, 2009, and September, 2010.

Fantastic to see Sally Sagoe is the Entertainment Director on QV voyages July-Oct, makes the others seem very lame in my opinion (although I did have a soft spot for Ray Rouse). Sally has a fantastic personality and just makes a great cruise even better :)

Captain Olsen recently married and is now Inger Klein Thorhauge

[goose30]

She found the clotted cream on the QV so they sent her to the QE to try her luck!

You are quite right, she actually got married the summer of 2012. I cruised with her in August that year and she had been married just 13 days. Such a nice lady.

I was lucky enough to have dinner with her in November and got a hug at the end of the evening. Absolutely lovely lady.

Here is the Lady being interviewed by someone that some will Remember.

A very interesting interview with Captain Olsen can be found here: http://issuu.com/maritimedanmark/docs/dmm_1-2.13

Imagine going to sea at age 16, working as a steward on a freighter; studying for many years finally achieving what Captain Olsen has achieved.

Now it seems to be dead. :mad:

 

Does anybody have any other suggestions how I might find the current list of senior officers on the Queen Victoria?

Thank you so much! :)

 

I think the UK must have a different website than we do in the US. When I type in Senior Officers, I get an error message.

 

Does anybody have any clue what the first names of these people are?

These people? How charming!!

[PunkiC]

Well I am just assuming that they are all people. ;)

 

I couldn't really say these gentlemen or these ladies, although I guess I could have said these ladies and/or gentlemen, but that sounded so awkward.

 

In any event does anyone know any of their first names?

[PunkiC]

After digging around on the internet, I came up with this information:

 

Captain Peter Philpott

 

Deputy Captain Russell Robson

 

Chief Engineer Brian Wattling

 

Senior Doctor S M Dring

 

Hotel Manager David Stephenson

 

Entertainment Director Sally Sagoe

 

Food & Beverage Manager Bernhard Fischer

 

Executive Chef Trevor Connolly

 

Senior Maitre D' Ilven Miranda

 

Voyage Sales Specialist Dragana Prodanovic Krieb Purser Guest Services C Gabaldo Bergamo

 

Chief Purser Jan Kristiansen

 

Does anybody see any glaring errors here? If so, please advise and add the first names, if you know them, for the two officers marked in red.

 

I guess now I can safely say, these ladies and gentlemen. :p

[Underwatr]

Punki:

 

If it's of any interest, Entertainment Director Sally Sagoe had a previous career as a British TV actress, most notably on Eastenders.

Excellent information. I really appreciate your response.

 

I have also learned that the Senior Doctor's first name is Susan. Only one more name to go. 😃
