DonnaK Posted September 10, 2016 Author #1627 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I just read that Abe Hughes will be the CD on our Harmony TA instead of the infamous Ken Rush. Has anyone sailed with him before? What is he like? We cruised with Abe on Anthem and thought he was excellent. Very visible, personable, funny, runs a smooth activities/entertainment team, etc. He is not "in your face" or annoying or nerve-grating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted September 10, 2016 Author #1628 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) Donna, Nick Weir just posted on Twitter that Abe Hughes will take over for Harmony's TA and inaugural season in the US. Thanks! Now that Abe is leaving Anthem (in mid-October, I assume), I wonder who will be moving there as Anthem's regular CD? Could it be Dru Pavlov, as that's his preferred ship/homeport, but then they would need a new regular CD on Allure?
