TER777 Posted November 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Vicki van Tassel is the new CD on the Symphony. She took over last evening when Russ went on vacation. I will try to upload her bio from Reflections when available. Welcome aboard Vicki. Edited November 27, 2023 by TER777 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdee Posted November 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2023 She has a real following on Silversea. Was also on Seabourn. Will she get crystallized is the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakridger Posted November 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I don't remember Crystal having a woman CD since I've sailed with them (2002). I think it's a nice change and adds some variety to the shipboard crew! Her experience sounds great, so I wish her well! ~Nancy 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't think of a single female CD in all of Crystal's history, unless I'm missing someone (which is always possible)... But I was thinking all the way back to David De Havilland. The added diversity is always a nice bonus to her experience and reputation. I'm looking forward to hopefully sailing on a cruise she's on in the future.

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I too can't think of a woman CD either at Crystal. We've had an Assistant Cruise Director who was a woman and that was Stacey Huston. Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted November 29, 2023 #16 Share Posted November 29, 2023 If you're talking CDs on other lines, Seabourn has had Jan Stearman for many years and there was a lovely lady on SS whose name I have forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
