Activity Managers onboard Royal Ships

rafinmd · November 5, 2015

Hugo Arias just said on the morning show that he will be on board until December 6. He also mentioned that he does not yet have a next contract, so I presume if necessary he could be held over until Katie returns. I don't think it's likely but I can imagine it.

Thanks for the news directly from Hugo. The best news given to me is from cruisers on board a ship, who hears from the Activity Manager directly.

Hugo began on Allure back on 9/20/15 and it was unclear if this was going to be a vacation coverage type of contract 6-8 weeks or more. Now it looks as if it was extended for a month....and in theory of course could be extended more until Katie Turner returns at the end of January 2016. If that happens it would mean he was on the ship for 4 months....and many times a contract is for that length, anyway. Time will tell. I will update the list later today. Again thanks.

Hugo did a great job on our Quantum sailing in April 2015. He and CD Dru Pavlov really worked well together.
