Who all remember the days of Leigh and Urkey (from Turkey)   Explorer cruisers were always in for a treat

I read that Leigh is with Carnival.

Erky always expressed his desire to become an airline pilot. I wonder if his desire came true. We wish him the best.

 

Steve, the cruise director of Carnival Pride is now the Port and Shopping girl's assistant on the Anthem.  No idea why he left Carnival. He was a good CD there.

Graham returned to EX yesterday.

[DELTABLUE]

Got it.😉  Thanx!

[DaniDanielle]

Leigh and Erky were the best followed by Abe Hughes.  I believe Erky made it to being a pilot.  Dennis is hit and miss.  Arzeena, hope you are okay.

[Paulette3028]

Ricky Matthews is taking over on Mariner on 4/1/19 from Assata Young-Mayer, probably for 4 months. Got this info from Assata Young-Mayer directly.

[DELTABLUE]

Got it.  Thanx!

So is Mike on the ship now?  I leave in 2 weeks (April 14). The TA leaves directly after our cruise. 

Also, what do these numbers mean?  #701?

Hi!

I am fine. Hope to see you again on a future cruise? We met on your first D cruise (Anthem and Abe). It was great!

[DELTABLUE]

mbjonsn...When I took over maintenance of this list, I was just trying to help out and winging it as best I could.  I am not very familiar with all the names involved nor all the ins and outs of contract lengths, vacation time, conferences and rotations.  I was/am just compiling the info that others have posted here and trying to keep in an updated list.  To keep track of where the info on the list was coming from, I started including the post # of the new info when I updated.  So, if you want to see where I got the info about the Oasis TA, go back and look at post #701.

DeltaBlue --- you are doing a very good job maintaining the info....your information of post # can be helpful.  Keeping this information as current as possible is NOT easy....it takes a lot of input from cruisers funneled to you to do it.  Keep up the good work.

Arzeena you showed me how to be Diamond!!!  Our next Anthem is May 23rd.  No Dennis😳

[DELTABLUE]

Paulette...thanx for the vote of support.  Trying to do the best I can with the info I get. 

 

BTW...my sister's middle name is the same as yours.  I think that Paulette Goddard may have been the inspiration at the time.

Yes....for the inspiration of Paulette Goddard..... many people have not heard of her....I am sure.

 

I know full well how difficult keeping these lists somewhat up to date is....since I try to keep the Activity Manager list going.

Does anyone know who the cruise director is on Oasis between now and th TA on 4/21?

[DELTABLUE]

This is a link to the current 3-31-19 Oasis roll call thread:

 

Try and do a post there and ask about the CD situation.  Maybe someone with VOOM will still be getting notices and be kind enough to answer.😉  If you don't hear back, try the roll calls for the 4-7 and/or 4-14 cruises.

Erky is now a pilot for THY (Turkish Airlines). We are very proud of his accomplishment!

[CruisingJoe09]

Dan Whitney is listed for both Indy and Oasis. I can confirm that Mike has been the CD on OA since January 20th.

The information was given to me by Jamie Fentiman that Dan Whitney was taking over from him when he went on vacation.
