Elizanessie Posted November 28, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Ken was off the Freedom for two weeks as he was off at some RCCI meetings ...I believe held on the Mariner....and Abe his assistant was in charge during that time....Ken got off the ship on the 12th Nov....so he should be back on now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin-Family Posted November 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Ken as many of you know is the new ship "Take Out" CD for RCI. He has been performing some planning for the next take out which he is scheduled to do, but I don't know if that is why he has been off recently.

AFT_LOVER Posted November 28, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 28, 2006 He is off for meetings on who the best of the best of RCI will be to board Liberty with Ken & train the new hires. Then they all go our wiith Akers for the trial run of the ship like a 2 weeks cruise to nowhere testing pods, stabilizers so they look for bad weather & waves & if anything isn't perfect they goto Germany for drydock repair. If all is fine, the hires are working great, then they are off for a vacation cruise of 2 weeks as the ship has minor stuff done, and crew gets waited on for dinner, rooms are cleaned, and then they are placed in their 2 to a room setup for the 6 month contract. Those not making it are released to go home. Any more new hires needed board & are trained. Then the ship is ready, crew is ready, the best of the best get to be customers for another cruise to nowhere. This way they know all is 100%. Then it is pre-inagural time with press, TA's from various countries who are invited to cruise from Norway to Germany, then Germany to UK, then UK to NYC and then to Miami for paid customers. These are a week stop for TA's, media, all to see & experience the ship. They get everything for FREE. Haircuts, facials, spa, booze, specialty restaurants, etc ALL FREE! My TA stated it was unreal what they all got. Ken Rush is the boss, and he answers to the Captain which probably will be Captain Wright as Freedom had who is VP of Mariner Dept (whatever his title is). Then he has entertainers also boarding at various pprts & let one miss a flight & no show & pissed folks. So then the onboard entertainers take over. He has one tough job & doing quite well. Abe was great doing everything else that Ken wasn't. So I knew he'd make a great CD for future use. I understood he was getting Freedom but he may move to Liberty with Ken. So he is on Freedom til January when Ken is on vacation til February when he boards Liberty to get the show on the road. He plans to be a month ahead of Freedom's release.

FitzLA Posted November 29, 2006 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2006 So he is on Freedom til January when Ken is on vacation til February when he boards Liberty to get the show on the road. He plans to be a month ahead of Freedom's release. Abe filled in for Ken while Ken was gone for 2 weeks. Ken is back now. Abe will not be staying on Freedom or going to Liberty. He is getting is own ship as cruise director. He told us which ship it was, but I can't remember now. I just know that it was one of the smaller older ones. Our Freedom cruise was Oct. 1st, and Abe told us he had 2 months left before moving to his new ship. So he should be just about done on Freedom now.

FitzLA Posted November 29, 2006 #11 Share Posted November 29, 2006 yea i heard he was going to monarch or majesty...but i think majesty Yes, I think you are right. I think it is Majesty. I would remember Monarch since I live in L.A. and I would love it if he was on Monarch. He is way better and much more entertaining than Ken.

My TA stated it was unreal what they all got. Having sailed as a guest of RCI on 3 pre-inaugurals as a D+ member, it is correct that the cruise, alcohol and tips are free of charge, but spa / salon services still have to be purchased at standard rates, and the specialty restaurant are usually closed.

JudyOh Posted November 29, 2006 #14 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Abe was our CD on the Nov 12 sailing, he did an outstanding job for his first week as a CD. Hope to sail with him again.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeeii Posted November 29, 2006 #16 Share Posted November 29, 2006 We just got off on Sunday, and Abe was going to the Rhaposdy out of Galveston sometime this week. He was to be attending meetings this week in Miami. Abe was scheduled to be the CD on Liberty, but this opening came up so he was promoted early. Chris is the new assistant CD, fresh from the Explorer. He's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zotzer Posted November 29, 2006 #17 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ken Rush is the boss, and he answers to the Captain which probably will be Captain Wright as Freedom had who is VP of Mariner Dept (whatever his title is). At our Meet and Mingle on the inaugural revenue sailing, Captain Wright indicated that he won't be back on a ship for three years. We all chuckled and commented on how neatly that fit in with the launch of Genesis. :) So, I doubt highly that he will be taking out Liberty. I'll try to post from the ship next week about the CD. From the sounds of it, seems like KR will be back by then. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsbfl Posted November 29, 2006 #18 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I read a review w pics and James from the Mariner was the cd.
