Only speculating, perhaps her feedback was not being actioned, due to the Explora suits continued arrogance and reluctance to meet the needs of their paying guests ( as opposed to influencers and ultra-loyal TAs !!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am onboard Explora now I knew she had left before we boarded and the absence of her influence is marked. We are feeling the impact of head office poor decisions eg the ship ran out of rose wine 7 days before the end of a 14 night cruise 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you got it in one. It's a shame. MSC had a real chance with Explora. They certainly seem to have beautiful ships, but they appear to be messing it up by dabbling.

tgg Posted September 23 #262 Share Posted September 23 Heike's post on Facebook. Excited to announce a new chapter: Two amazing years with Explora Journeys and having been part of the launch of this unique brand, it will certainly always remain very special to me. I have had the privilege to work with some amazing and professional Individuals as we shared great milestones and achievements together. I am now celebrating my return to the Royal Caribbean Group and thrilled to be joining Silversea Cruises as Hotel Director. With a stunning fleet of 12 luxury cruise and expedition ships and journeys to all seven continents. Our industry is huge but yet so small, I hope to see You on a journey or in one of the ports around the world 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted September 23 #263 Share Posted September 23 I hope she has better support at Silversea. Reports on their forum here have been mainly downbeat for some time, with a growing feeling that RCG beancounters are taking the brand down from luxury to premium and that onboard personnel have little decision-making authority. But this could also be a sign that RCG recognizes the problem and has decided to return Silversea to what made them buy it in the first place. Good luck Heike! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got off Pursuit last Tuesday , food was superb , felt Azamara had definitely upped their game , especially in Discoveries , some dishes I’d seen before but they were given a much more modern twist , booked Prime C but cancelled it , didn’t feel the need to eat in the speciality . 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare oddjob16 Posted September 26 #268 Share Posted September 26 So, from what I can see the reporting on «Senior Officers at the moment» has become more and more intermittent and scarse. Why this is a problem is beyond me… Very often people ask for the captains or CDs, but the same people never reports back when they have been on board. So, please: Can we have more reports, - regularly, - so that we can get an impression on who is moving where? Better than rumours are actual reporting. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
