SherriZ366 Posted December 13, 2023 #1351 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I read on another social media site that Captain Johnny has either posted or emailed that he will be on Icon in January. Looks like his skin cancer treatments were successful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be on Harmony in March, and look forward to renewing our friendship with this terrific commander. Just left Harmony yesterday - enjoyed sailing with Captain James once again! Had rough seas most every night to the point that the aqua show couldn't be performed with the divers throughout the entire cruise, so I'm sure he's ready for smoother seas this week. Fortunately we had already seen the show before, but I felt bad for those who missed how amazing it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg5118 Posted December 18, 2023 #1356 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Toni Kalne currently on Anthem - he started 17th December 2023. He's doing well sailing us on extremely rough seas down to the Bahamas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowCruiser01 Posted December 18, 2023 #1357 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Sailing Odyssey on Saturday, a few of the activities on the app are listed as being with Captain Sindre. I thought he'd left OY but nice surprise if he's still there. Will let you know when I hear who it is on sailaway. Whoever it is, I'm glad they do Captains Corner unlike some! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soremekun Posted December 22, 2023 #1361 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Who was the captain of Wonder of the Seas for October 2023? I found him to be the most personable, friendly, funny, and interesting captain to date. Looking through the thread, perhaps it was Rob Hempstead?

I don't think Capt Trym has the same reputation as Capt Rob. But there are people who say Capt Trym is funny and personable too, to a certain extent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlasgowCruiser01 Posted January 3 #1363 Share Posted January 3 Sorry to be late but can confirm it was Captain Per on Odyssey 12/23, must have been a mistake in the app. He's pretty good. Odyssey is a happy ship so that says something about those running it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it all depends on if Capt Loy does the inaugural and if Capt Johnny is on with Henrik for couple of weeks overlap since might be first visit for Johnny. Also Johnny likes to rotate 11 or 12 weeks. I am on first week of May and I think I have pretty good chance of Capt Loy. Either way I have sailed with both and enjoy each as captain. One smiles more and rides scooter and the other is quite easy to understand and explains thing well. Each is from Norway. One is quite tall and the other is shorter. Capt Johnny is one of the most senior in the fleet having started with sovereign class. Interesting fact is both captains were the shipyard takeout captain in 2016. Capt Loy on Ovation and Capt J on Harmony. That year Harmony got more attention and Ovation quietly went to China. toodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make a difference to me but my grandsons just love Capt. Johnny....and are hoping to sail with him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 4 #1368 Share Posted January 4 Captain Johnny posted the other day that he was back home in Norway. Last I saw he was in Florida so one might guess that he isn’t returning to the ship any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
