Actually he never got to Edge. He was bumped in favor of Damian. Arno, the Guest Relations Manager on Edge is Cameron Robertson (didn't have his last name but found it in many posts here). And the CD is Damian De Lorenzis (not Damien) Edited February 12, 2019 by MisterBill99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appeared in Damian's "talk show" when we were on board, doing an interview and playing a game where he had to smash an egg against his head without knowing if it was raw or hard board. In general, the initial crew on Edge was picked because they were among the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems as if there were issues on Solstice needed resolving. I believe that it was issues on Edge that needed resolving and it was determined that Damian was the person to do it. Lewis moving to Solstice was the side effect (or collateral damage, if you prefer). I spoke to someone senior on the ship and they confirmed that this was the reason Damian was brought in. While I can't say that I'm 100% sure that it is the case, I am fairly sure it's correct, given the changes that have been made recently. The activities and entertainment on Edge were not appropriate for the passengers who were on board and needed to be fixed.

Turns out Damian worked with our long ago fav CD Dru Pavlov in the past...same style, Classy, funny, talented, fully engaged and appealing to all ages and types of cruisers! .He was everywhere. Great at our Connections Party, and scored a coup with the Dec63 group, plus being involved in many activities on board! . Bethany was a lively, active Activities Director..great deck party with DJ Dragon.. and was excellent at the completely full Trivua..sans android. X was smart to let them do their jobs ....the period before, pax were told Miami said so...never heard that once! I think our Captaian left for vacation on a very happy note!

Yes, Bethany is great and worked very well with Damian. She was the Activities Manager (or is it Director, as you said) on our Panama Canal cruise on Infinity in October, so we already knew her. Trivia was still being done on smartphones the first week we were on Edge but it went back to paper the second week for the normal daily trivias (other than Timeplay Live that you need to pay for, which they kept).

I am surprised as we have found Maarten Bruels in the past to very much measure up to our expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
