Quick question.  What is the time frame for Senior Officers vacation?  Is it 3  months on- 3 months off?  Or something like that?  Assuming they were returning to their scheduled ship? 

 

I believe that only the captain is 3-3. Others are 4-2 or 6-2.

What people seem to forget is that the Activities team spent many weeks in Miami prior to joining the Edge in France being trained on the new activities HQ wanted to introduce.

Those initial Edge sailings proved to be their undoing. The demographics were totally at odds with the innovative activities designed specifically the Edge. To improve the Edge ratings Celebrity took a backward step IMHO.

 

The demographics are STILL at odds with what they designed for. And at high prices, many people seem to feel that they will continue to be at odds unless they attract a lot of the younger folks with lots of disposable income they're clearly coveting.

 

As I said to senior people on the ship (and no one disagreed), the activities and entertainment on the ship were designed for the passengers they WANTED to have on the ship, not those they actually HAVE. It seems like you're saying they should not change and simply allow the negative reviews to continue. Fortunately Celebrity has come to a different conclusion.

 

And don't get me started on the lack of affordable Edge merchandise on the ship. If I wanted a t-shirt with the ship's name on it, I would have had to pay $95. Even with non-refundable OBC I wasn't going to spend that to advertise their product! Apparently corporate has been made aware of that and they were expecting more affordable merchandise "shortly". I had asked the revenue manager about it and he didn't give me a good answer. I finally had to talk to the assistant hotel manager to get a decent response.

Oddly, among the activities they wanted to introduce was knitting!  The poor young man who was leading that activity did his best, but was clearly a fish out of water.

 

Yes, I noticed that a couple of times on the schedule but never got there. On Oceania last year, they were giving out needlepoint kits a few days.

 By the same token, Captains Kate and Dimitrios were captains of Edge at that event but they were not THE captain.

 

 

 

You must mean that at the time they were Masters on different ships but they were future masters of Edge over the next year.

Dimitrios Kafetzis took over as THE Captain (Master) in February and Captain Kate won't be THE Captain of Edge until much later this year.  There were several other Captains on board as well including Theo Zakkas who took Century to SkySea and may soon be back with Celebrity and Captain Alevropoulos the celebrity Port Captain.

You missed my point. Someone else said that Lewis had been on Edge on 12/5 and my point is that he was not the CD at that time. This is all ridiculous anyway. The point I was trying to make is that I'm fairly sure that Lewis never became the CD, although that had been the plan. Whether he was ever on the ship is immaterial.

Thank you, we've had that captain before & liked him... However I feel like they often make a change right before or after the TA's    I guess I'll have to wait & see.  :)  thanks again

Any buzz around the ship as to who will take over for Eddy as Cruise Director?

I would also be grateful for any information on Eddy's replacement as I will be on the 22nd April transatlantic crossing. I'm very sorry to learn that Eddy will not be onboard with us.

Arno, you might want to check the other “Who’s on Board” thread, it is now the last one listed under “Friends of Cruise Critic” on boards.cruisecritic.com.  Katie

Please post a link to the thread you are referring to.  I have tried to find it, and not worth the effort.  Thanks Arno, I'll follow you.  Pat

Anybody know who is the captains club and Michaels club host/hostess currently on the Silhouette?  Sailing on her tomorrow.  Also does the captain still have special guest dinners on formal night?  Or has this become a paid actitvity?

 

Rose is the Captain's Club hostess.

Friends of ours had dinner with an officer (not the Captain but someone high up) and they were invited - didn't pay.
