cruising grandma Posted January 4, 2009 #101 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Anyone just off Summit know who's onboard now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbee Posted January 4, 2009 #102 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The CD on Mercury right now is an aussie fellow named Ian (can't remember his last name). Frankly he came across very very phony. His activity director was an even more phony fellow named Alesandro "Captain Bingo" from Argentina. I would have to vote probably the worst CD/activity directors I've come across on any cruise. I cringed every time they spoke. The activities staff on the other hand, especially Joy and Danielle, were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went on a 12 nt from Barcelona to Venice. We LOVED it!!! Nothing better than spending Christmas in Aruba! We really enjoyed the itinerary also. We ate in Normandie every night so can not tell you about the food in the MDR but Normandie was OUTSTANDING. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura We had heard some bad reports of the TA and was hoping things had improved for the Caribbean on Summit. We also dined in Normandie while onboard, although not every night. We found the food in the buffet and main dining room fabulous!(a reason for following Robert Flack to the Solstice) If he's in charge of food and beverage, I am ready to dine!

I had read the same reports and was very worried. But very thing was great, waffle iron was fixed or maybe I should say new. Yes there is a little wear here a there but then I don't go looking for it. The Normandie was a special treat to ourselfs for xmas. And we love it! This was one of our best cruises ever. We are thinking of booking it for next xmas right now. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da ba da bahh Posted January 9, 2009 #115 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Just got off the Summit last week and it was awesome! So fantastic! I fell in love with the Boomers, the acapella group, and I was just curious if anyone knows all the guys names? I know Ryan and Bradford, but I would love their last names and also the other guys names and last names. If not, would it be worth it to email Celebrity and ask them? Thanks!

C 2 C Posted January 12, 2009 Author #118 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Damian De Lorenzis is on his way to NZ for Millennium where he will be replacing Rich Clesen as CD. Sue Williams, Captain's Club Hostess on Solstice, has been promoted to Future Sales and is awaiting her ship assignment. Way to go Sue! Captain's Club has lost a great hostess.

jasm8449 Posted January 12, 2009 #120 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Do you know who is replacing Sue? Will there be a different hostess on the Solstice Jan 25 sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franahan Posted January 12, 2009 #121 Share Posted January 12, 2009 We will be on the Millie the end of April. It will be interesting to see how many staff changes there are between now and then.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted January 14, 2009 Author #122 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Arno, here's what we have as far as crew & staff: Master: Panagiotis Mantzavinos Staff Captain: Xenofon Livanios Chief Engineer: Evangelos Plomaritis Hotel Director: Adam Scott Cruise Director: John Grantham Activities Manager: Luke Bonney Restaurant Manager: Faith Korkmaz F&B Manager: Valeri Lajhh Guest Relations Manager: Patricia Chang Cruise Sales Manager: Lisa Bell CC Hostess: Daniela Spirlac Party Band: N'Focus Rendezvous: Baires Quartet String Quartet: Premier String Quartet Guitarist: Anton Marlokov Lots of changes, as some crew have already rotated to Solstice and other ships. Rumours around the ship were along the lines of speculation on these boards, that some of the crew would take their vacation from March and then transition to Equinox this summer. Whether that's wishful thinking or comes to fruition, time will tell. Galaxy's crew, as has been mentioned on CC repeatedly, are some of the most cohesive in the fleet, and a new ship would do well to have a great many of these folks aboard. In fact the most recent scores, based on pax comment cards, have Galaxy earning the highest ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted January 15, 2009 #123 Share Posted January 15, 2009 "Cruise Director: Dru Pavlov (until November 14, moving to Solstice late January to take over from Nick Weir)" from another post Would Jan 25th be the one he'll be on?

Sea Legs 01 Posted January 15, 2009 #124 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hi, on the most recent chart of officers, staff and crew, I noticed that you did not include the Bar Manager and Assistant Maitre d’ as you did on your previous chart. Is it please possible for you to let me know who the current Bar Managers and the Assistant Maitre d’s are on the Celebrity ships? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it please possible for you to let me know who the current Bar Managers and the Assistant Maitre d’s are on the Celebrity ships? Thank you The reason I dropped them from the chart is that I was not getting the information from returning cruisers. Until I get more input from posters I just have no names to give you. Sorry.
