joandian Posted October 16, 2016 #1771 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Can anyone find out who is taking over CD duties on Mariner from Keith on Monday the 17th? I asked the Diamond Concierge and she tells me it will be Mr Fang (?). No other name given but he has been on Mariner before. I hope that helps.

DonnaK Posted October 16, 2016 Author #1774 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I believe I heard Elvis Pinto say he was off the Empress as of today. He was good this week. Just left the ship this morning. I'm friends with Carlos on FB, he's on Harmony this week still on vacation , I believe he'll be back to Empress next week. I'll update if I hear more. Update from Elvis: he will be on Empress until the 21st, when Carlos returns and Elvis moves down the terminal row to Enchantment :confused: So, is the handover today or the 21st? Hopefully someone sailing today can let us know who is on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
