She was our Assistant CD on one of the first Encore sailings back to Alaska in September 2021. She actually had to take over as CD for the cruise as our CD got covid. What a ball of energy she is! And FYI, her last name is Smith. I hope to see her on another NCL cruise soon. Thank you!! She is quite amazing. I was stunned when the husband even said she was the best cruise director we've ever had (I didn't think he paid any attention to them at all). And thanks, for the last name!

Who is Teo Grbic not on my post? Also we should add Captain Mikael Hilden And I forgot Prem Kanikanara (First class HD/GM) You seem to have rudely not copied Papi and Richard Janicki who should always be remembered both of whom were giants of the industry. BTW check your facts regarding the Viva. Denis is soon to retire Armando is not retired Sean W Retired Brois Kojic (I am in touch with but do not need to disclose) Someone asked about Captain Teo Grbic so I put him on the list. Over the last several years beginning pre COVID-19, a number Norwegain staff members left for all kinds of reasons. A number died from COVID, some from cancer and some for other reasons. Sad for all of them, thier families and thier friends both staff and passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there are others and that's for other people to talk about. I am not sure why you felt it needed your input to add where they are now. I actually left it off as this is a NCL website. Were you just showing that I know them too" BTW - Have you checked your Viva info yet? Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsTocko Posted June 1, 2023 #182 Share Posted June 1, 2023 There are 3 that we encountered on our first NCL cruise on the Sun in Sept 2016. I have often wondered where they are now. CD - Philly Joel - fantastic and havent heard anything about him since Concierge - Carlos Z. Again fantastic. We sailed with him again on the Jade in March 2018 Food and Beverage - Vesna - Fantastc - she was also on the Jade in March 2018. 1 of the reasons that I follow this thread is to see where they have moved on to, as well as to see if one day I might sail with them again. They made that first NCL cruise so special and memorable. I hope all are healthy, and to one day sail the seas with them again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe new projects of some sort, not sure. But Martin I. isn't GM on Prima or another ship and has taken a different position. Have never sailed with Nelson but there will be Viva GM Nelson. Looking forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggieq Posted July 3, 2023 #187 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) We had an amazing bar tender “nebo” in maltings on the encore TA in 2019. He said he had a friend on celebrity summit. We went on the summit in nov 2019 and met his friend in the dining room. Would love to know if Nebo is still with NCL.

Just saw your post today and wanted to let you know that Vesna was the GM on our Jade Greece cruise in November 2021 (can't believe it has been that long already). She was absolutely fantastic as the GM and I am hoping she is still around. I would love to sail with her again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
