CruiseImage Posted September 8, 2012 #1028 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Bernhard Stacher is the HD on the Si now. Started around 2 weeks ago and on for 4 months Why would a real assets to X resign? Ever thought there might be some hidden truths behind these resignations? Just too strange for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever thought there might be some hidden truths behind these resignations? Just too strange for me I think its more just the way the hospitality industry is, the figures I remember seeing a year or two ago were 29 percent changing jobs in the past year and 42 percent having done so during the past two years. So the exceptions I would think are the ones that stay. Those figures are based on land based jobs, so would guess sea based hospitality jobs would be an even higher turnover.

cruiseacecat Posted September 9, 2012 #1035 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Alejandro is among the best Cruise Directors I've ever experience. Fantastic on a bilingual cruise. It's nice to see that he is appreciated by more than just the gorgeous young women. :rolleyes::) I agree, he is among the best. I have tried to tell him several times just how good he is, and his response is always "I can be better than I am" Well, good luck with that. :D Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted September 9, 2012 Author #1041 Share Posted September 9, 2012 The captain of the Summit told me he is moving to the Equinox in a few months.

Sorry to see her leave. Anne RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS We have never met either of them to be fair so can't comment. however the ones we have met have always been outstanding, as with most of X staff - always so accommodating, with our last cruise in April being an amazing crew on the SI. However as in any large organisation people come people go, but the worst thing is when folk start to gossip and start with their rumors as to why people go/leave/resign/get fired whatever. Suppose I just don't understand why someone would leave such a great job with a great company :confused: - but I guess we all move on at some point....
