What’s the pass mark!  Perhaps someone can help fill in the missing spaces!

The CD, Martin, was only on his second contract, the first being part of the show team.  He was extremely personable and his own show, the best of the cruise (singer).  He was very visible and engaged well with the guests.

I think Tony is due to go home on leave some point this month

Martin Lawson...met him on Journey, fellow Scot and good guy (Eric was on in June so assume he is currently on leave)

Thanks Phil for starting this and thanks to Host Jazzbeau for making it a sticky.

 

Perhaps Food & Beverage Manager could be added to the list?

 

Looking at possibly booking a "local" cruise in February next year on Quest.

My wife just found the cruise brochure and I can confirm the names in my initial post. Our assistant CD on the August 9 Iceland cruise  was Lee Hetherington, though he indicated that his vacation was coming up shortly so perhaps he is not on the current sailing (Iceland August 16).

 

On current Pursuit sailing:

 

HD is N. Fleet 

 

Lee is on vacation.  He got off in Reykjavik on the 16th.

 

Captain Antonio Toledo 

 

CD Emily Love

A lovely mix of old and new faces. Also back for one contract is João for LCV. Great to see him again

 

[uktog]

Adell has gone home yesterday from Journey (F and B) replaced by the equally lovely Mario Kucko.  Adell has been onboard for over 10 months due to staffing rotation difficulties - far too long for anyone.  Concerns me the goodwill of some is being taken advantage of and it will impact on their health if Azamara do not sort out this staffing rotation issue

I take it Shinapa came on board as well?

Indeed she did in fact we saw her first. Onboard and doing dinner service two hours later. She’s looking good as is Mario. The Thai diet suits them well
