nancydow Posted April 10, 2017 #326 Share Posted April 10, 2017 We are sailing on the Down in two weeks, the repositioning cruise. Any info as to who the hotel director and the concierge are would be appreciated. TIA. I'm on this repo cruise too - would love the full list, if anyone has it? Thank you! ~ Nancy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshyrkat Posted April 11, 2017 #327 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would also be interested in who the CD is. We are on the 12 day repo on the Dawn sailing April 23rd. They can make a difference in the enjoyment of a cruise with 6 days at sea.Ellen I'll be on this sailing too and I'm curious about who the officers and concierge will be!

Koala_D Posted April 13, 2017 #328 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Omg please tell me he's not going on vacation in the next 3 weeks?? We are sailing in 2 weeks and were soooo hoping to get him as a captain!! He's so great I would choose a sailing based on where he is!! Thank you so much :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums I love Capt. Lars, too !!! He's absolutely amazing.... luv luv him! Wish he was going to be on the Epic for our transatlantic, but that would probably be a boring trip for him. I like BOTH Capt Lars, but they are so different.

Koala_D Posted April 13, 2017 #329 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Anyone sailing on the PEARL... Daniel made our cruise very enjoyable. He is the Maitre'd at Le Bistro, and the food and service was so good there. He makes sure all is running smoothly. In fact... it was so good that we cancelled all our remaining Cagney's reservations and ate at Le Bistro 4 more times! The food was always perfect. We've never eaten in a specialty restaurant with friends on NCL where ALL THE MEALS were cooked and served perfectly. Daniel is married to a beautiful lady in South Africa. Ask to see a photo of his son... nicknamed "Hercules" (so cute)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koala- Captain on the Epic barring any changes, should be Idar Hoydal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinkInOz Posted April 13, 2017 #331 Share Posted April 13, 2017 How do we know she leaves in January? I can't find the source of that information. Silas Cook was CD on the Getaway when we sailed Feb. 12th., 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiservictor Posted April 14, 2017 #332 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We have been fortunate enough to have cruised on the Breakaway several times and have gotten to know both Captain Hakan Svedung and Captain Mikael Hilden. We were on on in February with Captain Hilden, and he told us that he had 2 more weeks to go and that Captain Svedung would return in early March and stay on through early May. A friend of ours was on the Breakaway for the April 2nd voyage and Captain Hilden was in command. Anyone know what cause the change in schedule, and who will be the Captain for the April 23 cruise?

Desert_ Dweller Posted April 14, 2017 #333 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'll be on this sailing too and I'm curious about who the officers and concierge will be! Not aware of who the ships officers might be. But, I can tell you that your concierge is Roel. Had a wee note from him saying he is on vacation after your repo cruise... until mid to late June.

koalagurl Posted April 15, 2017 #340 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Just off the Pearl, don't have all of the info, but We started with Noemi as concierge and switched to Yahira. I can understand the mixed reviews on her (Yahira). We found her to be a bit awkward for lack of a better word. (Certainly not terrible, but we didn't click with her.) ETA: Erlindo was the butler and we thought he was fantastic. Edited April 15, 2017 by koalagurl add info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its only a personal view but everyone loved a former HD we thought he was awful and not surprised when he left.He was from Belgium We have have seen negative reviews of people like Prem but we always found that we clicked with him personal taste!

We were aware of this back in October 2016 when the BA HD came up came up in last year. We too think the world of Prem and NCL have lost a great HD - any idea where he is now?

nancydow Posted April 19, 2017 #349 Share Posted April 19, 2017 No one has responded with a full list of the officers on board the Dawn ... can anyone tell me if this is the list of usual officers who attend the Dawn Meet & Greets? (It seems to be different on the larger ships, but I can't tell if that's just because I've only been cruising the larger ships for the past eight months?) Hotel Director (Assistant Hotel Director? or just on the larger ships?) F&B Director Cruise Director Executive Housekeeper Guest Services Manager Executive Chef Restaurant Manager Beverage Manager Does the Captain ever come to the Meet & Greets? Do they still have a Cruise Next Consultant come and speak? Do they have Assistant Cruise Directors on the smaller ships? Thanks anyone, for any insight you can provide. ~ Nancy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
