SPARKLE10 Posted April 19, 2008 #512 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi: I'm so excited to have two cruises booked on the IOS this year.:eek: We're on the September Italian Med Cruise; and then we're booked for New Years Eve. We were on the Freedom for her first New Years Eve cruise and we had a great time. We were on the Jewel of the Seas last New Years Eve....it wasn't quite as exciting as the Freedom was. When we embarked on the Freedom, we were greeted with a glass of champagne; and when we walked onto the Jewel, they didn't have that.....no biggie; just an observation; we still had a great New Years Eve on the Jewel.:p Happy Cruising.....Sparkle 10 (Anita):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserbryce Posted April 20, 2008 #523 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Who will be the Captain and CD on Independence for the Inag? On Liberty last year for the Ingaural the Cpt was Hernan Zini and the CD was Ken Rush...will it be the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotbeer Posted April 20, 2008 #524 Share Posted April 20, 2008 On the last issue of RCCL,s mailer, thats the info it said who would be the captain. And as far as I had understood ken Rush allways CD,s on the new ships. So I have been told. Cheers from Beers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave85 Posted April 20, 2008 #525 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hernan Zini's been "supervising" the latter phases of construction as he did with Liberty... so I'd assume he'll be taking the ship out initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
