DonnaK Posted June 27, 2016 Author #1358 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?

As of now, he still doesn't know who will take his place come October. I didn't realize that Dru was leaving when we got off on the 25th. A moot point, but the list above is incorrect as Dru was still on for the 6/16 sailing. Anyways, glad we had Dru as I hear John is pretty boring. I guess I will compare in September.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted June 30, 2016 #1362 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hi Donna. We are returning to Allure August 28th. If you don't have an update by then I will see what I can find out for you. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted June 30, 2016 Author #1363 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I didn't realize that Dru was leaving when we got off on the 25th. A moot point, but the list above is incorrect as Dru was still on for the 6/16 sailing. Anyways, glad we had Dru as I hear John is pretty boring. I guess I will compare in September.Thank you! I corrected the list. This implies that the "emergency" that brought John over to Anthem was with Abe, who was due to come onboard, and not with Dru. I tried to contact Abe on FB and asked where/when he will be assigned next, but he didn't reply. Hopefully, someone else can find out if he has gone back into "retirement" or if he has been reassigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misty57 Posted June 30, 2016 #1364 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So Ken Rush is on Harmony now, but after January it will be someone else? Hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted June 30, 2016 Author #1365 Share Posted June 30, 2016 So Ken Rush is on Harmony now, but after January it will be someone else? Hope so. This is likely to change. Ken was scheduled for break June 5 through October 23, with Bobby Brown filling in. Then, Ken was scheduled to return October 23 through the New Year (without a definitive end date). However, Ken didn't go on break on June 5 as scheduled, and it seems that he is still on the ship. So, it's not clear how the future schedule will be affected, if at all. Another CD posted on twitter that Ken will be the CD on Harmony in August. If that's true, then the original schedule has definitely changed. Hopefully, someone going on Harmony now can speak with Ken and get his schedule directly from him, so I can update the list with accurate info. Until then, I can't update the list based on speculation or projection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madimorg Posted June 30, 2016 #1366 Share Posted June 30, 2016 How is Tim Connor? It looks like he will be ours on Allure next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommaMickey Posted June 30, 2016 #1367 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Back in post #1267 you asked for info on Jeff Arpin. We did transatlantic May,2016 with him. He was not our favorite CD. He was negative about sea days and was not very visible. It may have just been the fact that it was his first transatlantic. We never saw him with AM And even did Morning Show alone behind his desk.

Joe12 Posted June 30, 2016 #1368 Share Posted June 30, 2016 About to sail away from Cape Liberty on Anthem and John Blair is already really irritating me with those endless, loud and arrogant PA announcements. Hopefully it won't affect the cruise too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
