Sailaway with Captain Smith's commentary should be listed in the patter. It's THAT good.

I agree!

Does anyone know when DuVaul Gamble will be leaving the Discovery Princess. I am hoping he will be the CD for my cruise Oct 21st

We just got an email about our Oct. 18 Island cruise--he will be on the Island.

Isn't that the generic email where they have a link to a video and he is the representative CD who they filmed?  There is also one with a Captain (Commodore Nash I think).  Doesn't mean these are the personnel on "your" ship.  AFAIK, Princess stopped sending out who the key personnel will be on each voyage and have not started doing it again.  I could be wrong, but I'd say <50%.

Guess I just assumed! We shall see...

He filmed a few generic segments on the Caribbean Princess in July for the non-Royal class ships. 

 

Doubt he's going to the Island.

DuVaul is a fun CD. Sounds like Discovery is his home ship, other than his well-deserved vacation time.

He is fun! Had him on Discovery last year.

What is the format to send an email to a particular activities director on any Princess ship? Thank you for any tips!

Not sure.  Email addresses appear to be position based and, unless you know the abbreviation used for a particular position + the 2 character id of the ship (first 2 characters of the @ name, example,  xxcaptain@princesscruises.com) then it is a guessing game.

He will be there a while. I am going at the end of November and he said he would still be there 😊

The info on the Crown is totally out of date   Captain is Lembo and the rest are old also

Took a look back and it seems no one picked up on the new photo board posted on Sep 17 when changes occurred, See next post I am now working on.

 

I only see two differences - Captain and CD.  If you know more or something else, then please post specifics.

Updated CROWN Captain and CD per photo board posting of Sep 17.

Updated Discovery Captain info.

 

Note that Captains are on 3-month rotations until/unless a ship swap, so we could be listing the two captains for each ship and their swap dates.

Have definitely heard the CD refer to the ED as "boss".

The ED is the boss.  The ED sets the schedule for the CD to follow.  Of course, there may be some delegating.

Ruby's CD has changed to Jessica Caballero, who is making her official debut with Princess; Cole Bockman made the handover just around the time of the dry dock. You can see her here.

 

Also made changes to Caribbean's ED and DRO - as per @vickie_bernie for graciously sharing on her FB - you can find the whole picture board here: [first pic], [second pic]

 

Also added Allie Ambriano as Regal's CD to fill in the blank - hoping anyone onboard the Regal transatlantic can just verify this, to double check as always.

 

Thanks @scooter6996 for the updating. As always, thanks @Steelers36 as well for always keeping us in check. I really appreciate the community effort in our little corner of the forum.

[PrincessDano]

The Captain on the Sapphire currently is Todd McBain, if someone can make the change.
