leestar Posted October 22, 2010 #751 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Will be going on the NCL Spirit at the end of November. Went on her last year and had so much fun. The cruise director was Paul Scally. Does anyone know if he will be the cruise director for my upcoming cruise? I believe Paul Scally is currently off ships. The current Spirit CD is Kyle Dodson and I believe he will be there until sometime in the new year unless something changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhealy Posted October 22, 2010 #752 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I see that Monica is still on the Jade. Do the concierges normally stay on one ship longer than a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Spirit CD is Kyle Dodson and I believe he will be there until sometime in the new year unless something changes. I could be mistaken (mixing up names), but I believe Paul Scally is the new CD for Epic starting with this week's cruise. I'm sure he was the one that was following around the CD when I was on the ship last week and did some events (Dancing with Epic Stars) to prepare for the switch.

Veronica Beaverhausen Posted October 22, 2010 #754 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I am wondering where Adrian Bica will be going after he returns from vacation. Preparing to book a cruise on Monday and will book according to where he will be. I heard he was returning to the Jewel on Nov 7, 2010 - does anyone know if this is true? Also trying to find out if Garreth will be returning to the Jewel as Casino Manager.. Robin We LOVED Adrian and I was hoping he would be back on the Jewel for October 31 sailing..he is THE BEST..Hope you get to sail with him again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please join our roll call! We have a very active group, and are planning lots of activities on board, including a M & G, slot pull tournament and trick or treat for the kids on board!

We'll be posting "Live from the Jewel - Garden Villa" starting Sunday Happy Cruising, Monty Thank you soooo much for this Monty! Believe it or not, it's a make-it-or-break-situation for me, I will probably choose the Gem (never sailed on her) if Adrian isn't going to be on the Jewel. May I ask you one more favor? Could you see if Garreth will be aboard in November as the Casino Manager? Don't go out of your way, but perhaps the current concierge or you butler will know.. I'd really appreciate it! Have a GREAT time in the GV (I know you will)! Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorj Posted October 24, 2010 #763 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Does anyone know who will be on the Pearl or Gem in Jan/Feb 2011? Just off the Pearl today. Andy will be the CD until early Feb, then he's on his break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomct Posted October 25, 2010 #764 Share Posted October 25, 2010 How do you find out the staff on a particular cruise. We will be on the Pearl 12/5 to 12/12. Thanks! Marilyn This thread is the best source that I know of. It helps when you return from a cruise that you post the who's who from your cruise, most importantly when it hasn't been done for awhile on your ship. If you are particularly interested in one ship, like the Pearl, or a couple of specific staff members, like the hotel director, or cruise director, just ask. Many of the staff may change by the time you cruise, but keep monitoring this thread. If it gets out of date, and drifts off the front pages, just ask for an update. It's quite popular, last time I checked there were 46,960 hits. I'd like to add to my previous update on the Epic, and note the two young ladies from Romania performing concierge duties are Maria Luca and Florentina Popa. I believe the VIP area, suites, etc., have their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieCruises Posted October 25, 2010 #765 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I now know that Carlos Zarate will be the concierge on the Pearl next month. (I hope that's how you spell his name.:confused::eek:) Am I allowed to email him for a request the week before we cruise? Would his email be in the same format as my PCC (czarate@ncl.com)? I don't know if it matters, but we will be in a courtyard villa for the first time. (Yippee!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tideone Posted November 9, 2010 #769 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I met the CD on the Dawn and his first name was John but I didn't know his last name. Please tell me this is not the John that I met... He was a really nice guy... and he had a gorgeous blonde headed girl friend, who worked in the kid's program...

Cruiser1978 Posted November 10, 2010 #771 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm really sorry to hear he's left. He was the CD on my first cruise and set the bar pretty high. The CD I had this year was a disappointment and I was really hoping we'd run into John again next year on another NCL cruise. Oh well. Thanks for the updates!
