Hi Mandy

 

That was not my post. I haven't posted on this or the 2014 thread in months. Your correction is to a post by Mary (OceanDreaming) who used my format from last year. Is this an example of "imitation is the greatest form of flattery" ? LOL

I quite agree, it's a thankless job. That's why I stopped after doing it after 5 months.

Hi....when I spoke to the pre-cruise concierge desk last week she told me Leah will be concierge on the Jade. We are on the same cruise :)

If it's Leah she was very good ......we cruised with her on the Sun last Feb.

 

See you on the Jade :)

Exec Chef: Ravindra Dulipalla

Restaurant Mgr: Noel Chaves

Beverage Mgr: Joe Borges

Cruise Consultant: Romeo Gittens

Group Service Co ordinator: Iris Alegado

Concierge: Florentina Popa

 

What are the chances of these being the same for our cruise in a little over 2 months? Does the staff normally change after a repositioning cruise?

 

The Jewel leaves Houston on April 18th repositioning for the Alaska cruise season. Our cruise on May 7th is the first of the season. Any idea who the staff will be or is it too early to find out?

Doubtful it will be the same officers and crew.

Florentina is already gone. (LOVE HER!)

Some will stay, but there are vacations and changes to other ships.

There are so many wonderful NCL folks, you will not be disappointed.
