Congratulations Filip well deserved! We recently had dinner on board with Filip. His demeanour instils confidence that the ship is in good hands. As I mentioned earlier, he told us he wants officers to increase those dining invitations to passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, when we were hosted by Gianmario he included the Safety Officer George and it was his first time at a hosted table. He was so good it was great to see him being mentored (he holds his masters ticket) for future roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think rather than posting what I think is happening, its better if Bonnie posts so there is no risk of the wrong messages floating around!

ellbon Posted July 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Pelle just came on and i never met him. Magnus has been around since I started with the company if not before. I would think he is ready for a new challenge. I still wonder how much long Carl and Johaness will stay. Seems the captains are flowing off to sea on new ships.

I am just trying to find out if Pelle left after a year and the new Captain taking over or what. I know Quest does not have 3 captains. So is it Magnus and Pelle or the other new Captain that just got promoted. Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the others stayed longer. i am surprised hte poster from Quest did not say. I knew in the fall i had two different captains but i like to know if i have two new ones. Never felt i got to know the new captain on JR last fall. Before I can learn a name the captain is gone. Hard to replace Jose and i have know Magnus since 2010.

SoBaycruiser Posted July 3, 2019 #22 Share Posted July 3, 2019 It is hard not to speculate based on the evidence. Looking at the senior officer schedule, July 12 was when Captain Pelle was to return for his rotation in the schedule on Quest. If he has been replaced by Capt. Filip, then I think this will be the 4th captain assigned to our August 7 cruise. Our CD (Stephen) and Executive chef (Shijunath) also seem newer to their positions in that they aren’t listed above in the bios. I’m hoping with so many new senior staff, that things run smoothly.

Since I started with AZ Quest has had the most Captains. So far on that ship i had 3 but missed two. On JR i had 3 but one is on Quest now. For some reason they are having trouble fitting a captain with the ship. Stephen was on the JR as asst CD. He about 25030-tall and thing with a man bun. seen his hair down-longer than mine. The chef I know nothing. With two ships i knew all the chefs but they move one to Pursuit and either promoted or hired a chef. Chef Robert trains them all. I onder what happened to Tyrone as i wish he was promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottie A Posted July 3, 2019 #25 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I'm sure Captain Filip will be excellent as a new Captain of Quest. He has been a Staff Captain on Journey for some time and I think it's great that Azamara recognises their own homegrown talent for a well deserved promotion. As for Stephen as CD, I have mentioned him before. He has a great voice and is a really nice guy...very guest focussed and pleasant. I don't think I have sailed with Chef Shijunath yet but I do know people who have and they thought the food onboard was wonderful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
