innlady1 Posted July 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Hello John! A question for you: Is it true that Mark Pells has gone to the Westerdam as of July 19? We've cruised with him a number of times on the Noordam and in February, he assured me that he'd be on the Noordam in October for our TA cruise. But then this scuttlebutt is circulating that he's gone on to the Westie... As I recall, a while ago, someone on the Roll Call said that a Ron Botenbal (something like that) would be our Hotel Director. I'm doing the M & G for the TA and he always does a wonderful job for CC events...so I'm very curious! Edited July 27, 2014 by innlady1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Sheila; Yes, Mark Pells is now WEDM's HD and, as S7S mentioned, Ron Bontenbal is now on NODM where he replaced Mr. Pells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how many ports get substituted on this cruise. Nothing like heading for the hot spots. And, no- definitely no cleanup.

innlady1 Posted July 28, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I think maybe Ron Botenbal has moved to Noordam. That's what I've heard, Judy. We're doing the TA in October, and in February, Mark told me he'd be there. So this was not expected back then.

Don't know Mr. Bontenbal though. Thanks for the confirmation, John! Ron Bontenbal has been the resident Hotel Manager on WEDM for over seven years. In fact, he was HM during our honeymoon cruise in the fall of 2006. One of HAL's best HMs, without question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pells was with us on a previous cruise, he is a good time, liked to take part in the dance parties in the late evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimp56 Posted July 29, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I think maybe Ron Botenbal has moved to Noordam. He was on Noordam for us in June. He attended our CC M&G. Terrific guy. Edited July 29, 2014 by shrimp56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
