SilvertoGold Posted October 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Captain Marco Carsjens, with HAL since 1994, has signed onto Virgin Cruises. Sailed with him and thought he was great, a good fit with HAL. This will be a big change for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenseasnomad Posted October 8, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) You bet it will! From what I've gleaned from the Virgin Cruises press releases, anything goes on these new ships, including nudity.

SeaDog-46 Posted October 10, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Officers, Hotel staff & crew move between companies if they think conditions are better & they can get the same position. I was om Zaandam a few years ago & our CD departed to Viking Ocean as CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Never met this captain. But I do know that officers as well as other crew do move from cruise line to cruise line. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many would go running and screaming and likely jump overboard. Oh my :). Others would continue to nap. Hnak 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Virgin Cruises has announced the first captain of the Scarlet Lady is Captain Wendy Williams I’m guessing Captain Carsjens will be her relief captain.

rkacruiser Posted October 10, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Captain Carsjens was at the helm of Rotterdam VI when I sailed on my Voyage of the Viking Cruise from Boston to Rotterdam. A pleasant gentleman and gracious host at the Mariner function and, obviously, a good seafarer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wander Posted October 11, 2019 #13 Share Posted October 11, 2019 About five years ago on a HAL ship a man was told to "cover up" when sunbathing totally nude on the upper deck. I only heard about if from his wife who was on the same Trivia team as I was. She was NOT happy with him stripping on the ship although they were active nudists at home resorts. She did not think it appropriate on a HAL ship. Interestingly, I NEVER heard about the incident from anyone else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
