c-legs Posted August 20, 2012 #827 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Does anyone know if Sue Denning is returning to the Smmit for the winter cruises? She is terrific!!! According to herself ( on board 1st July voyage), she '' does not do the SanJuan sailings because she does not speak Spanish''....So, once her ''time is up'' on current Cetury assignement, unknown where she'll head off to after her next holidays. She's indeed terrific, a real trooper as her collegues describe her. She however could be eyeing retirement as she is a bit ''less young'' than she used to be. Lots of years in the entertainment// hostessing industry takes its toll after a while, judging by hints in her chats with guests on board.(including myself.). She's a real pro.

chessbriar Posted August 21, 2012 #830 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Have a wonderful time.:) I am sailing her in 90 days:D (well almost 90;)) I met Lionel on Millennium and he is such a nice person:) Just curious. I don't know how much you talked with Lionel, but did he come from the restaurant as a waiter/assistant waiter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerdrivecruiser Posted August 21, 2012 #831 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Lionel worked on the CN in the Shops. He decided he wanted to transition to the ship side and was hired as a CC Host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwcruisers Posted August 21, 2012 #834 Share Posted August 21, 2012 As of Aug 10th Capt. Patsoulis is the Master on the ML. This will be his permanent ship sharing the duties with Captain Taramas. Thanks for that update! We sailed with Captain Patsoulas on Century, in April. He had announced that it was the last cruise of his regular rotation -- but we had no idea he was transferring to another ship, afterwards. What a coincidence that his new ship is Millie -- 'cause that's our next cruise! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted August 21, 2012 #835 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Just curious. I don't know how much you talked with Lionel, but did he come from the restaurant as a waiter/assistant waiter? Hi Rick:) I don't believe he was ever part of the wait staff. I could be wrong of course;) but I don't remember him ever mentioning being part of the dining dept. He is from India, slim build, bald....do you know him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is from India, slim build, bald....do you know him? Hi Lois, :) You are right, he was never dining room staff. Orator's answer is the correct one. Lionel told me also that he came from retail and from, specifically, Louis Vuitton. Nice young man. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were both wonderful people. He was very nervous about taking over and missing his family back in India so much. I'm sure that he is doing a terrific job and please say hi for me. Have a wonderful cruise. Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a very difficult job and they all do it well. Wish I could do this for every Cpt. Club Host and Hostess. I really have only had one that I thought was in the wrong line of work. The rest vary from very good to outstanding. And there is not enough money in the world to make me do a job like this. Really need to be an ambassador with a wealth of patience and a thick skin. I have a great deal of respect for them. Anne Edited August 22, 2012 by cruiseacecat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
