cruiservictor Posted January 11, 2017 #51 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Two people have posted on our roll call thread for the 1/29 Breakaway cruise that Prem is no longer on the Breakaway, and one of them says he is no longer with NCL! We had been told by several crew members when we were on the Breakaway last October that Prem would be back on 1/29, and that was confirmed in an email from Prem himself shortly after we returned home in early November. I sent an email last night to Prem's NCL dot com email address and have gotten no reply, at least not yet. (Nor did I get an email back saying the email address no longer exists.) Does anyone know anything about this? Is it true? What happened? Who will be the HD on the 1/29 cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uniall Posted January 12, 2017 #53 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Here's the info we received at our Meet and Greet: Dawn 12/30/16 Alain Magnier, Hotel Director Andreas Sommerfeld, F & B Director Dan France, CD (Excellent!!!) Osley Ollivierre, Executive Housekeeper Ana Maria Haza, Guest Services Manager Prejith Poovapadathil, Executive Chef Ionela Oprisan, Restaurant Manager Rajesh Rodreguez, Beverage Manager Tamara de Beer, Group Service Coordinator Leah Rodriguez, Concierge All Correct as of our disembarking on Jan 8, except Cruise Director Dan France disembarked with us. Here's my take on each if them: Alain Magnier, Hotel Director: Warm, Personable & Professional. Definitely "A" Team Leadership. Andreas Sommerfeld, F & B Director: Personal attention to detail and passenger comments. Dan France, CD: Filled with Joie de Vivre Osley Ollivierre, Executive Housekeeper: He's everywhere. Ana Maria Haza, Guest Services Manager: Wow, the department runs like a fine clock. Prejith Poovapadathil, Executive Chef: A great guy and great chef who prepared special requests with 24 hour notice. Ionela Oprisan, Restaurant Manager: Super management skills with staff and welcoming to the guests. Rajesh Rodreguez, Beverage Manager: We never ran out of booze. Tamara de Beer, Group Service Coordinator: Also acts as Disability Access Officer and was superbly responsive in that capacity. Leah Rodriguez, Concierge: Without any doubt, One of the Best.

asubaru Posted January 20, 2017 #68 Share Posted January 20, 2017 According to the Concierge Desk, at least on the Feb 4th Cruise, Adrian Bica will be the Concierge. One of the butlers (supposedly ours) will be Mansur Hasdinil. I have never met/cruised with either, so am looking forward to meeting, and cruising with, them.

maryjammin Posted January 22, 2017 #71 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Is Julie still a cruise director on NCL? I always thought she was the best one they have. She is the Senior Cruise Director over the whole fleet. We just saw her on the Escape last month supervising Belinda to make sure she's ready to open up the Joy next month over in China. Great lady!!
