OK...need help understanding this.  Can someone plot out these two comments?

 

Mike Szwajkowski said today that after the current TA on Wonder (ends 5-4-22) he’s moving to Voyager for four months before returning to Wonder in September. And unless I misunderstood him, he also said he’ll be the takeout CD on Icon.

 

And...

 

Voyager is currently Rob McNally.   He told us he goes home for 6 weeks on July 3 then comes back mid August for the crossing. 

 

From these two comments, it sounds to me that Mike and Rob will be on Voyager from 5-4/7-3.  Can we sort this out?

Spoke with Rob and again he confirmed he goes home early July and is back mid august.

I am on Wonder right now. Mike said he had four months off this summer. For two of those months he will now be on Voyager.

Per Mitch Merucci's post yesterday on social media:

 

Odyssey of the Seas - Cruise Director Update

I’m signing off May 7th for vacation but onboard the crossing behind the scenes helping our newest Cruise Director, Ana settle in to her new role. You may know her as one of our most experienced Sports Managers (Odyssey, Wonder take out team).

 

He also says in the comments that he'll be back on Odyssey in late Summer.

Hi!

What happened between Post 119 and Post 135 to explain this for Bobby Boughton on the Enchantment?

Thanks!

Any news on who will take over for Mike on Wonder of the Seas?  We will be sailing her June 19th.

When we spoke with Dennis on Symphony in March, he said he was going to Wonder next, but didn’t say when…we didn’t ask. Not sure if it is for this time or later.

I imagine it will be Michele who does Wonder for the Med summer season, he's experienced with Oasis Class and multi-lingual, was CD for the Symphony launch season as well.

It is Michele Scarpato on Wonder as of May 8. They call him Mckelly. I’m sure I spelled that wrong.

Brian Leavitt is back on Symphony according to his insta story, but I believe he's quarantining and/or taking a week to transition before he takes over since he was in a guest cabin. I'm on Symphony in a couple weeks so I'll confirm then if it's Brian or still Dennis.

Just off Oasis, and wanted to say that I hadn't heard of Mike Whitte before and didn't know what to expect.  We were very pleasantly surprised!  He was excellent, and very present and approachable.  He also joined the classic rock cover band, Phoenix, for a few songs, and really rocked the house!!  Very impressive vocals!
