RJB Posted July 24, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Would like to know who the GM on Vista is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DrKoob Posted July 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I would like to know what a GM is? General Manager? On a ship, that is the Hotel Manager. Or are you looking for the CD (cruise director)? If you find out, I would love to know too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM means General Manager, and it's a term that has replaced Hotel Director on many cruise lines because other lower level personnel such as the Cruise Director can also have the word "director" in their job title. By changing the Hotel Director's title to General Manager it clarified that other jobs such as CD are of lower level and report to the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 31 cruises I have never heard it before on any ship (Celebrity, Viking Ocean, Azamara, RCL, HAL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to list the Officers in the Currents on the first day maybe they do not do this now this from the Preismans blog as example https://www.thepreismans.com/bermuda_regatta_dailies.htm#day1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you would quote Mike's blog. Mike is one of my two best friends in the world and we are sailing on Vista together from Montreal to Miami in October. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporate sibling NCL adopted it a few years ago after Oceania became part of NCLH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisingxpert Posted July 25, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Back to the original question. Dominique Nicolle was the General Manager when Vista started in May but I imagine he is on vacation by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolChile Posted July 25, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Dominique left after the Founder's cruise. Damien Lacroix took over as GM on the one following, Ancient Adriatics. But who knows who's who in the zoo going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
