hug Posted October 20, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 20, 2007 we just returned home from a week cruising on the Legend with captain Karlo Buer, cruise Director Eric De Gray and assistant cruise director Preston Coe. There is no DJ anymore. The line returned to a CD and one ACD. There is a band, Oasis, a singing couple with the band, a duo for pre-and after dinner music and a classical guitarist for the sun lounge. Eric De Gray will leave the Legend for the Pride. From today Preston Coe is the new cruise director on the Legend, with a new ACD, Sara Watson, form the UK. Eric stays on the Legend for another 10 days as an advisor to help Preston in his first days as Cruise Director. In the food departement the new menus were introduced with 14 new dishes. Luka returns to the Legend as maitre 'd just before the crossing... BTW, the cruise was fantastic ! We were very lucky with the weather...

SantaAna,CA Posted October 20, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Is this effective immediately? I'd love to see him on my cruise! Now if only we could kidnap Luca...... Jane :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnycruise Posted October 20, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 20, 2007 What about Marcel? I hope he will be an ACD. My sentiments exactly! I thought Marcel as DJ afterhours at the Skybar was an enhancement. He didn't take away from the traditional entertainment in the Club - more like a welcome break from it! Hopefully Seabourn will offer this extra choice on future warm weather cruises as the Skybar at night used to be a lonely place. johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hug Posted October 21, 2007 Author #12 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hug, How about a clue as to what some of the new dishes were????? I don't know all the 14 new dishes, because they are not 'marked' on the menu. This was our second cruise with Seabourn, so I am not yet this way familiar with the menus. However, I spoke with the chef, Willy, who told me all this. I have eaten certainly one of the new dishes, a tuna-fisch, quickly fried on both sides, it was very good ! Eating was always very nice and, to my impression, light, but perhaps it is because we really like fish...? Presentation from the dishes on the plate was excellent. I hope you can enjoy soon..

With the numbers of CC members on this Legend crossing, I am expecting posts that will equal 'Gone With The Wind'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare marazul Posted October 22, 2007 #17 Share Posted October 22, 2007 When we were on he Spirit in July, our cruise director Helga left on her 2-month vacation. She said she would be joining the Pride later on in the year. Is she back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djaaay Posted October 24, 2007 #18 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi hug, we were on the cruise with you when Preston was announced as cruise director. I wish we had met you or maybe we did??!! The weather was nice but that one night the rocking was horrible. Did it not bother you? Otherwise, the cruise was perfect and Preston sure is a talented fellow!! We enjoyed him immensely!

The weather was nice but that one night the rocking was horrible. Did it not bother you? Otherwise, the cruise was perfect and Preston sure is a talented fellow!! We enjoyed him immensely! Hi Djaaay, we were indeed very lucky with the weather. I slept well during the "turbulent night" between Sicily and Malta. After that night we were again very lucky. Remember that, when we left Malta, the captain announced bad weather again, but the wind turned to the stern and we had a very smooth sailing to Sousse. When we arrived there in the morning everything was drying up from the heavy rain and thunderstorms they had the previous day and night. We went to the souks that day and spoke to several local people: a few houses were destroyed and 4 people were killed during the night ! Perhaps we met .... on the sky bar ??? We wish Preston all the best in his new job ! Hug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
