dodger1964 Posted September 3, 2012 #978 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) And I've heard a rumor that Fabio just left Silhouette for holidays and will be joining Reflection.I've changed the layout of the chart. Long names either have to be in reduced font or I have to skip Given names. Let me know if this shows up OK on your I-devices. Just add "captain" to the Who's on board vertical order listing.

Orator Posted September 3, 2012 #979 Share Posted September 3, 2012 In total agreement that Nikola is the best in the business. Zafer gets my vote. Can't begin to tell all the wonderful things he's done for DW and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencerdrivecruiser Posted September 3, 2012 #980 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Zafer is the new kid on the block and I agree a great guy. We go back to 2004 when he transitioned to an Assistant Maitre'd from a waiter. He and Czajka were always in competition but unfortunately Czajka is a Specialty Maitre'd and not a RM. How time flies.q Nikola is the senior RM as far as years in the position. Geo Simones has been with X longer but is not a RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted September 3, 2012 #987 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Cameron must have boarded in the last couple of months. He was not on Equinox in May. I know him from Summit too. He is from Scotland. Really nice guy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted September 3, 2012 Author #988 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Rubens, thanks for the idea of using Cruise Director for the missing Managers. Please note that two pictures that are offset are not managers but Cruise Directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-legs Posted September 4, 2012 #989 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hi, Arno Sue Denning's time on Century is up. John Grantham is back as at yesterday's sailing. It was known he left on a 2 months off time window late June but didn't quite know he'd right back on Century Since Sue hardly spent 2 months on Summit before joining Century, this leads one to presume she is a ''floater'' CD ,assigned from ship to ship on a 2 +/- months rotation,,,for ~~ 6 months, then goes on a well deserved holiday for ??# months.... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserone Posted September 4, 2012 #992 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Does anyone know who the Captain will be on the Reflection? Any rumors?

cruiserone Posted September 4, 2012 #994 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Is he known as the "singing" captain? We enjoyed Capt. Demetrios on the Silhouette so much. Had dinner with him and we stayed in the dining room until after midnight! (he did not stay that long but we did).:D Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this has been discussed as I have been off the boards for awhile and just catching up. Thank you. Carol Other than intellectual curiosity, why does it matter? In all of my cruises with celebrity, I have not found one captain who consistently keeps the boat steady under any conditions....and I haven't found one who misses a port due to poor navigation. I'm just curious why so many seem to care who the captain is for their cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singing captain Gerry Larsson-Fedde is no longer with Celebrity. Dimitrios Kafetzis has also been nicknamed as the "Joker" ghstudio: Some cruisers have been fortunate to have had some great experiences at the Captain's table and some Captains have been much friendlier than others.

I'm just curious why so many seem to care who the captain is for their cruise? A friendly and outgoing Captain usually means a friendly and outgoing crew. You can notice the difference if you take a number of cruises in a brief time. The Equinox was the "ship of the year" and I believe that was due largely to the leadership of the Captain. Noticed the opposite on the Solstice where the Captain was more reserved. I remember the Queen Mary 2 TV show when the Captain said that his role was like the "mayor of a city". There is a social aspect to the job and while allCcaptain's employed by Celebrity are outstanding in getting us safely from port to port,some are a little short of the social skills that can add to a cruise.

cruiserone Posted September 5, 2012 #998 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Orator, could not have said it better! The staff under Capt. Demitrios is happy and caring. We have not experienced this kind of "joy" in all the years of cruising. Interested in the Capt of the ship out of pure curiosity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since everyone on board who is customer facing reports to the hotel director,it would seem far more important to know who was in that position...but there is this fascination with the captain.
