Calling Colin! Where are you?

[life is good]

Sailed on the Dawn last May and heard Colin the CD had been assigned to another ship. Colin is the best CD I have come across. He has a natural talent for making everyone feel welcome. Just wondering. Does anyone know which ship Colin is on and where will he be assigned come next April? Thanks for the info. ;)

Colin transferred to the Star lines and is somewhere in Asia at the moment, if I remember correctly. He was on the Sun when we were, and I'd love to see him as CD again on a future sailing. Hope he comes back to NCL soon!

I loved Collin as a CD he was the best. I was hoping he was switched to NCL Star which I just booked for April!

We miss him too:mad:

We also miss Colin but Pamala Stanley is irreplaceable at the piano in Gatsby's on the Dawn.

Infortunately, Gatsby's on the Dawn is where we enjoyed Pamala on two previous cruises. We would like to see her back there before our January cruise. We don't know where she is but we really miss her.

Hope the lucky passengers on spring break and all those kids on the Easter vacations can appreciate Pamala's considerable talent.

Just realized that Pamala's schedule above was for the past year. She was also scheduled to be on the Jewel during our recent October cruise but that miserable cigar room next to her piano, drove her off the ship (can't say I blame her). Hope she comes back to the Dawn in 2006.

The 38-year old Scotsman is returning as the Cruise Director aboard the Super Star Gemini. The ship does a weekly circuit, visiting heavenly places such as Singapore, the beautiful islands of Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia, exotic islands of Krabi, Ko Samui and Phuket in Thailand and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

 

At the age of 21, Colin started working as an entertainer and holiday representative in Europe, mainly planning games and singing along with the band. He has also cruised down the Nile as a Cruise Director in the Mediterranean for 3 years. Colin has worked in destinations that most people only dream of such as Costa del Sol, Italy, Tenerife, Andalucia, Greece and Mexico.

 

In November 1999, Colin moved to Star Cruises as Cruise Director, and has been working within the group ever since, displaying his professionalism onboard Super Star Gemini ,Super Star Virgo and previous Star Cruises vessels such as Star Aquarius and Super Star Leo. Colin has also working onboard the Norwegian Sun and Norwegian Dawn under the flagship of NCL. Colin is truly one of the most travelled and skilled Cruise Directors with experiences in the Australasian, Asian, American, Middle Eastern and European markets.

 

 

The highlight of the week for Colin is when passengers dress in their glamorous outfits for the Gala Night. Super Star Gemini is his favourite ship as he loves the intimacy and ‘family’ feel that the vessel offers.

 

 

I guess he got tierd of resort casual and jeans at dinner :D :D

Last year my husband and son was on the Sun and have been raving about Colin ever since. Pity he is no longer on Ncl

[ebedore]

By far the best Cruise Director I have ever seen. I actually would choose a cruise just to see him but Asia is a bit too much and too far for me.

[electricron]

I guess Colin really likes smaller sized cruise ships.

This pretty little boat was built in Spain in 1992 for Commodore Cruise Lines. Commodore decided against incorporating it into it’s aging fleet, choosing instead to begin the new, upscale, Crown Cruise Line. Almost immediately, the idea foundered, and Commodore found itself soliciting Cunard for advice, a case of the blind leading the blind if ever there was one. Cunard took over the marketing of the line, incorporating it into its own product along with Cunard Countess and Cunard Princess. This too was bound for failure!

Crown Jewel is 19,046 tons. 537 feet long. 74 feet wide with a 17.7 foot draft. She was Liberian registered with Scandinavian/European Officers. She had a Filipino crew. She is diesel powered.

Under Cunard’s control, she sailed as “Cunard Crown Jewel. 1n 1995, she was sold to Asian based Star Cruises, where she is currently sailing as MS SuperStar Gemini.

Crown Jewel, has one twin sister ship, the Crown Dynasty.

 

Crown Dynasty was built in 1993 for Crown Cruise Line, and spent time on charter to Cunard under the marketing name Cunard Crown Dynasty. For the 1997 season, she was chartered to Majesty Cruise Line and operated cruises as Crown Majesty which had already been arranged for Crown Dynasty, but at the end of that season her charter was passed to Norwegian Cruise Line as the Norwegian Dynasty. At the end of the charter in 1999, she reverted back to being the Crown Dynasty, until sold to Fred Olsen Cruises in 2001 as the Braemar. This year it's cruising the Southern Caribbean with 15 night itineraries with Bridgetown Barbados as its home port.
