If it's more than a couple of months away, it is way too soon to know. Thanks to all for your responses. My question was does anyone have any info regarding which officers (names) will be on board NCL Jewel in January 2019. Mainly interested in the HD and concierge. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again @source It may be Bruno Dentone as the Haven Concierge - he’s been off a couple of months, I thought that he would be back on the Jewel after his break. We are in touch so I will try to remember to ask him specific dates when we talk next. Enjoy your cruise, I like the Jewel 🙂 Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlicanteMac Posted October 26, 2018 #456 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Unlikely to be Bruno. If you're really unlucky, Steven Jacobson will be the HD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am truly surprised by your apparent negative critique of HD Steve Jacobson. I consider Steve to be among NCL's top five HDs. In fact, I have booked cruises in the past solely because he was scheduled to be aboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted October 26, 2018 #458 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I love sailing with Steven as HD. Very helpful, hands on and most importantly the staff has a great deal of respect for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlicanteMac Posted October 26, 2018 #460 Share Posted October 26, 2018 No, just that despite staff wanting Bruno to stay on Jewel, Miami moved him to Pearl. My guess is he's unlikely to be sent back there. Steven spoke at the last meet n greet as if he were staying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlicanteMac Posted October 26, 2018 #461 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Perception, opinion, experience - whatever, that's what makes us all different. Interestingly, I perceived Steven only interested in talking to American clients. I won't comment on this further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uniall Posted October 26, 2018 #462 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Steve Jacobson is a rock ribbed Midwestern American who grew up in the Chicago area and majored in Hospitality Industry at a Milwaukee college. He is very direct, sincere, and straight forward. He is not a fawner, pretentious, or touchy-feely. Perhaps those traits are valued more by Americans. I remember being the last to disembark in New York and he bid us farewell with grin on his face by saying: "We should have been all clear 15 minutes ago. I go on vacation today which started 15 minutes ago. You owe me, Big Time." To an American, those were words of endearment and friendship.

Hey, does this say that you are heading out on vacation to day? Where? We leave Monday for Miami to sail on the SUN to Cuba, Panama and Western Caribbean. Wish you could join us.

Uniall Posted October 27, 2018 #464 Share Posted October 27, 2018 No trips planned. Sharon Rae's physical rehab is still in play for another month or so. I'm scheduled for left knee surgery a week after Thanksgiving and the right knee in February or March. I hope we can start booking cruises for next Summer & Fall.

Pmcnulty Posted October 27, 2018 #465 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Has anyone seen Daria on the Cruise Director's staff around one of the ships? Brunette, Russian. She was on our Dubai to Venice cruise on the Star March April 2017. She was one of my faves and would love to run into her again somewhere.

casofilia Posted October 28, 2018 #466 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Funny the comments about Stephen. We spent about 80 days on the Jewel in the last 12 months with Stephen as HD. He was excellent to talk to and would discuss any and all problems. He didn't always do what people wanted done but he was always very open about why he said "no". I did like JC Sanchez when he took over as Cruise Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUEST71919 Posted October 28, 2018 #470 Share Posted October 28, 2018 @AlicanteMac I’m sure the person making the decisions is fairly far removed from the staff or guests, but I know that they will miss him. Our interactions tend to be non-business, I don’t ask often about NCL and so other than awareness of his movements I try to avoid being nosey (and so I don’t know much about the behind the scenes of the line). We did really enjoy him - it took me a bit to get beyond his pulled tight exterior, but once through a very warm man emerged that we liked quite a lot! We also truly liked the concierges on our last cruise on Royal’s Allure and we very much hope that we will have a good one for the Haven on the Epic early in the new year. 🤞 Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
