Paulette3028 Posted June 20, 2016 #1303 Share Posted June 20, 2016 LOL, You can tell I despise him as CD. :D:eek:Still looking forward to Anthem though. But why, pray tell.....despise, is awfully intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich455 Posted June 20, 2016 #1304 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Can anyone find out: Harmony: Is Ken still onboard? If so, when does his contract end? Will it be Bobby Brown next, or has that changed? (June 5 was supposed to be the handover date between these two, but that has come and gone with no change) Vision: Who is the CD? Anthem: Is John just completing Dru's original schedule until June 30, or will he be on for longer than that? Will it still be Abe Hughes next, or has that chnged? Came off Harmony yesterday and Ken is still onboard. Looks like they're still doing a lot of work on the entertainment side figuring out what does and what doesn't work. No promenade parades whilst on board as they're still rehearsing. 2nd Aqua show still in rehearsal. Christopher Columbus still in rehearsal. The shows I saw were all amazing but the cruise compass did seem a little empty at times. I old imagine Ken will be on there for at least another month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted June 20, 2016 #1305 Share Posted June 20, 2016 John Blair better be off Anthem by June 30 otherwise my trip will be a little bit spoiled. :mad: Aww, I have to say I'm really sorry that you give a CD that much power over your cruise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted June 20, 2016 #1306 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I don't usually care less on the big ships but Blair is so self important and never shuts up. It just gets extremely irritating and I just want a cruise where I am not disturbed by a CD every 2 minutes. Thanks for the reply. We had him and his wife on Serenade a few years ago, so I understand the sentiment, but I still would rather tune him (them) out than go into a cruise dreading who the CD was. :o From what I've read here, you will not be disturbed by Karina's "Bingo, Bingo, BING - GOOOO!" anymore. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted June 22, 2016 Author #1314 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I am very interested in finding out if John Blair and Katrina will be on Anthem on the Sept 22nd sailing if anyone can find out I'd be very grateful. Sailed with John on Celebrity and loved him, hoping to see him again Hopefully someone who is traveling on Anthem now can ask him and report back to us. He began this contract on March 15, so he is due for a break mid-July, and should return from his break mid-September. Whether he goes back to Anthem remains to be seen, as Abe is supposed to have the 4 month contract on Anthem with Dru doing the 2 month vacation fill-in, unless something has changed.

BCCarty85 Posted June 24, 2016 #1316 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Vision OTS - Mike Hunnerup has been onboard since Jan 31, and was due for his break in late-May/early-June. Is he still onboard? Until when? Then who? Actually, Mike Hunnerup started on Vision with the February 27 sailing so he is just at the end of 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted June 27, 2016 Author #1325 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) Can anyone find out: Has Abe Hughes been reassigned, or has he "retired" again? He was previously scheduled for the 4 months on, 2 months off, rotation on Anthem beginning June 30 but that seemed to have changed with John Blair coming onboard for 4 months instead. How long with Ken be on Harmony? He was scheduled to hand over to Bobby Brown on June 5, but that never happened. Another CD tweeted that Ken will be onboard Harmony in August. He is also scheduled for the TA in October thru the New Year. Does he get a break? What is the new rotation? When does Mike's break on Vision begin, and who will be the next CD?
