Rare Presto2 Posted August 23, 2012 #851 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi, Just got off the Silhouette and the Captain was Capt Emmanouoil Alevropoulos. We only heard from him twice the entire cruise - once at Muster Drill and then once on the sea day. We found the 'silence from the Bridge' very odd. Oh well, he took us around the Med very safety and that is is main priority. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted August 23, 2012 Author #852 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi, Just got off the Silhouette and the Captain was Capt Emmanouoil Alevropoulos. :) Thank you for that info. He was the master of Millennium from Feb 2012. I believe that he is the replacement for Captain Pagonis who shared Silhouette with Captain Kafetzis. I have not witnessed such a large number of changes in such a short period of time before. It will be interesting to see as well who will be paired on Reflection.

(To be honest we hardly saw any of the Senior Crew and have no idea who anyone was!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Mc Posted August 23, 2012 #854 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Hotel Director Julian Brackenbury has just left Eclipse for ~6 weeks to launch the immersive wine cruises on the Constellation. Sue Richardson has taken over from him in the interim. He should be back at the end of September, he will be missed, he was great and always passed the time of day with passengers as did the majority of the officers.

C 2 C Posted August 23, 2012 Author #855 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hotel Director Julian Brackenbury has just left Eclipse ... Lyn Hi Lyn: What was your sailing date for the changes? Would you perhaps have the name of the Guest Relations Manager on Eclipse? Were there any other staff changes from the list? Thanks, Arno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted August 23, 2012 Author #858 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Does Dru Pavlov (CD) and his lovely wife Melanie (CC Hostess) still work for Celebrity? Dru now works out of the Miami office, "inspecting" the on board activities staff and Melanie no longer works on ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoputt.plusone Posted August 23, 2012 #859 Share Posted August 23, 2012 There really seems to be a lot of moving around. :confused: Someone just posted in a review that the cd now on Summit is Justin. They did not mention a last name. Anne That was correct for our Aug 12 - 19/12 Bermuda cruise. I also cannot remember his last name but he was very good.

twoputt.plusone Posted August 23, 2012 #860 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Thanks Anne. Wonder if he'll still be there in 2 months they way the are shuffling everyone around. I believe he will be because he said that his contract has just over 3 months left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smtcan Posted August 23, 2012 #862 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Is Chandru back? Last we heard was that he had gone home because of a health emergency. I hope all is well with him, he is one of our favourite Celebrity people. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencerdrivecruiser Posted August 23, 2012 #867 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Based on my last email with Chandru I think he is finished with Celebrity unfortunately. He did not say it was 100% but alluded to the fact he was not thrilled to be in that position. Lots of politics working for X and sometimes the good hard workers are not the first in line for advancement. Need to read between the lines here.

Lots of politics working for X and sometimes the good hard workers are not the first in line for advancement. Need to read between the lines here. I posted my thoughts back in May that Chandru would probably not be back. I can't think of any position that gets more hassle from above and below than the host / hostess. It's like a report that you are not as good looking as x, y, z and are therefore not as qualified... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerdrivecruiser Posted August 23, 2012 #869 Share Posted August 23, 2012 With Chandru's great work ethic and can do attitude I was surprised he was not promoted. What happened to the tenets of work hard and work smartly to get ahead. I wish him the best of luck. He definitely will be missed. Cannot beat a seasoned knowledgable worker like Chandru. Unfortunately he is not responding to his email anymore which I assume means he is placing his ship life behind him and starting a new work life/career.

cruiseacecat Posted August 23, 2012 #871 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have also not received a response. Will post here if I do, but I don't know that I have a lot of hope after seeing the posts here from others. Just 6 weeks ago, he was certain he would be back and looking forward to it. This is a great loss for Celebrity and, especially, those of us who have come to know him and appreciate all of his hard work. Just so sad. He will be missed.

spencerdrivecruiser Posted August 24, 2012 #874 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Juliana is the best CC HOSTESS we have ever had. Chandru was the best HOST. Juliana was on the ML and management transfered her to the SH do to her outstanding qualities. Consider yourself lucky to sail with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
