DonnaK Posted March 17, 2017 Author #2278 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Does anyone know Who is on Navigator in June ? Cuddy is going on vacation in the next week or so. Rob McNally will be doing the fill-in (end of March through end of May), and Cuddy should be back in 2 months (end of May) for another 4 month contract (through the end of September), unless he unexpectedly gets reassigned.

kevnick0814 Posted March 17, 2017 #2280 Share Posted March 17, 2017 DonnaK, I haven't looked at this thread since we got off the Allure on 3/12. Tim Connor made his announcement about leaving the next to last day during the Day 7 chat with his AD. He said he was leaving on the 12th, heading home to the family until May, then said he will be on the..... That's the part I forgot. The important part. :) I seem to remember him saying he was going to be the CD on the mystery ship but I don't see him listed anywhere. Am I mistaken? Thx.

No one has reported to this thread where Tim will assigned in May, so I can't put him on the list until I know under which ship to place him, Looking over the list, Enchantment, Freedom and Rhapsody have yet to be accounted for in May. There are also a few blanks for June and July. There are a lot of possibilities, and time will tell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaK Posted March 18, 2017 Author #2284 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Would they be having him doing Freedom from Barcelona?Maybe he will cover Michele's break and then Michele will return in July for the remainder of the European season, and that would be good timing for him to take over the Oasis from Jimmy as his family are based in Orlando and he's got experience with that class of ship. I believe Tim has done European itineraries in the past. You have made a good plan for him! :) Let's see if RCI has the same vision as you! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevnick0814 Posted March 18, 2017 #2288 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Is Tim any good as a CD? I liked him. He has his morning show right on the Promenade outside the Champagne Bar with the AD, and people just walk up & start asking him questions while the camera rolls & he helps. The he makes a funny comment about it. Would be happy to have him as our CD again down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
