Jenjohncourt Posted June 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Does anyone know who will be the Captain or Cruise Director for the Encore in August? So excited to be able to cruise again!!! Thanks! Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakman58 Posted June 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I don’t know if he is still with the Encore but it was Captain Niklas Persson before the Covid shutdown. He’s been keeping his navigation skills sharp by helping shoppers find parking spots at the mall in Seattle. I caught a glimpse of him just the other day.

CaptainWoody Posted June 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I heard that Hazelwood tried to get the Captain job but NCL had zero interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozFanatic Posted June 5, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2021 (edited) Speculation is that it's either Francesco Schettino or if he's still behind bars, back to Cap'n Crunch again. FDR would probably make a good cruise director, it's hilarious the way he runs NCLH. IOW, I have no idea.

Jenjohncourt Posted June 6, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I am friends with a Cruise Director on Instagram. I sent him a message asking him. He said assignments haven’t been made yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Captain Niklas is currently Captain, I am assuming that Captain Martin should be on in early August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted June 6, 2021 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I know of a number of Senior staff members who have either decided to retire or found other jobs and are not coming back. Almost impossible to say which crew member will be where in a certain timeframe right now. There have also been a number of crew members who have died from COVID-19 or its complications. Very glad I am not the people trying to figure out ship itineraries or crew placement right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed with Captain Niklas Persson a few years ago on the Escape. What is Captain Martin's full name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are doing B2B on the Encore (9/11 and 9/18) and it would be nice to see Capt. Persson again, but we will just have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
