CruisinMaterial Posted July 13, 2010 #526 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Rumor has it that he will be back for the July 24th sailing :) He must be signing back on that day then. Either way... yippee! Thanks for the heads up!! Whoever said Frank Hassenwinkel had left NCL is sorely mistaken. He hasn't and he's incredible. I believe he's presently on vacation after finishing a two month stint on the Norwegian Sky if he's not still on the Sky right now he'll be on vacation soon. After vacation he's back to the Spirit for her return trip to New Orleans (where she'll forever stay now... too bad Boston!) :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrobynec Posted July 15, 2010 #529 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Gary is originally Scottish , but he has lived literally everywhere. He speaks 8 languages fluently , so does the announcements in every language himself ! Oh--that warms the cockles of my heart (is that a scottish phrase?):rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted July 15, 2010 #530 Share Posted July 15, 2010 While I've seen several of the same staff members from ship to ship, I've never had the same cruise director on any ship. We've had: Adrian Lewis - Sky - 09/03 Kieron Buffery - Star - 06/04 (Our favorite CD to date) Kevin Warner - Spirit - 09/05 Simon Murray - Star - 06/06 Julie ??? - Pearl - 09/09 (Least favorite CD to date) I wonder who will be the CD on the Star in September of this year?

itgeek Posted July 15, 2010 #531 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Why is Matt Baker such a good CD? Going on the Dawn in Sept.? Jamie I like his personality, his harmonica playing and his generally "It's cool to be geeky" demeanor. :D He's a bit like a cross between Steve Urkel (from the 90's sitcom Family Matters), Donnie Osmond, and Matt Damon. - IT Geek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmarsh Posted July 16, 2010 #532 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Anyone know when John O'Hara is back from vacation? I know it should be very soon (either this turn around or next). :) Thanks! :D July 24th. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is friendly, just cheeky enough, and really seems to love what he does. The harmonica is simply awesome as is the accent. Looking forward to sailing with him again on the Dawn!

korgano Posted July 21, 2010 #536 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Does anyone know who is captain on Pearl for August 1 sailing? Depending upon rotation schedules, it will likely be Captain Lars Bengtsson or Captain Sverre Sovdsnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzmered Posted July 21, 2010 #538 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'd love to know when Bruce is leaving, too! I'd book a cruise based on where Bruce is going to be in a heartbeat. I would too! Bruce made our cruise so much more special and interesting. We just loved him and we werent even in a suite but my hubby's brother was :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have asked before, and I believe John O'Hara will be back from vaation and will be our Hotel Director - YAY!!! :) Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!

tdcjerry Posted August 8, 2010 #541 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Anyone off the Gem know who the Concierge was or will be in Oct. this year? we hope to have Ray Carr, he was on the Spirit and Star with us, Paul B would be good also, we had him on tha Jewell and Star. We had Carlos on the Pearl twice, it was his first time on a big ship ( just off the Dream) a little to much for him at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomct Posted August 15, 2010 #545 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hope everyone is enjoying a nice summer, it appears so since this thread has slowed down. I know we've been very busy, but our thoughts are beginning to drift towards fall, including our October 9 cruise on the Epic. When returning cruisers have some time, hopefully lateest updates can be posted on where some of our favorites NCL staffers are working these days, specifically in our case, some details on the key "players" on the Epic incl. CD, HD's, F&B, Concierge, etc. Thanks, much appreciated. Enjoy the day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
