Any idea where Cuddy is going to end up next?

[sellwingri]

Interested to find out who is taking over for Simona on Jewel and the date for the handover.  We sailed on Jewel on the transatlantic in November and wasn’t really a fan.  We’re on Jewel again at the end of February.  

[DonnaK]

Has the handover between Graham and Clo on Explorer occurred?

Thank you.  She was the CD the last time I was on Anthem, and she only used the name Tornado Tanya.

Have there been any rumblings as to who will replace Jamie F on Indy? If he joined in November, do we think he will stay on through March?

[kmeeker]

Still wondering who will be between Mitch on the Anthem for summer? Anyone have any ideas?

I’m glad you had it as Tornado Tonya. We had her as activities director on Grandeur in 2017. I never would have known it was the same person if you had just had her real name. She only ever called herself Tornado Tonya. And our CD was Cruisin Susan... she always called her Tornado Tonya too. Glad to see she’s a CD now. She was amazing as activities director. My two ~2 y/o nieces loved her, even the one who never liked any new people. She’d pick them up and play with them. 😊 I liked her waaaay better than Susan. 

[Blue Eyed Belfast Belle]

Hi all...2 questions 1) Has anyone sailed with Enzo Matijaca before? He is down to be CD on Brilliance and I see he previously was an Activities Manager. and 2) Any ideas who will be the CD for the Oasis Spring Transatlantic? TIA

Last report was; ADVENTURE:  Ken Jones December 30 (for 2 months or 4 months?  Then Drew Devine?)

 

Any report from Adventure about how long Ken will be on? We'll be on March 10th, just curious who the CD will be.
