Dave85 Posted August 27, 2013 #1877 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi, just got off the Silhouette and staff were as follows: Capt: Emmanouil Alevropoulos - who was fantastic Staff Capt: Vittori Cantu Guest Relations Manager : Cameron Robertson Chief Engineer: Konstantinos Pechlivanidis Hotel Director: Bradley Pavlik Cruise Director: Lisa Richards - the best we've had yet Activities Manager : Tyler (can't remember his last name but he was fabulous!) Food and Beverages Manager: Koray Savas - very high profile Executive Chef: Anthony Wilson - the food was the best so far. Have to say, out of 3 cruises on Silhouette it was the best one yet. Thanks to all. Glad to hear everything was so wonderful as we're sailing in under a month :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted August 27, 2013 #1878 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Glad to hear everything was so wonderful as we're sailing in under a month :) The whole cruise / staff/ passengers was the best we have experienced out of the 3 on Silhouette. We are still sad that we have had to leave her -- you will have a fabulous cruise experience. Enjoy it while it lasts. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLAEVEN Posted August 28, 2013 #1880 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was wondering if anyone knew what ship Nikola Havidic, the Restaurant Manager, is on? We sailed with him last summer on the Millenium and in May on the Eclipse. He is wonderful and my husband and I just love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 28, 2013 #1883 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Does anyone know the whereabouts these days of the Weir brothers, Simon & Nick? The last I heard, Simon had traded ships for CEL corporate life in Miami. Haven't heard anything about Nick. Simon Weir has moved over to Royal Caribbean, and I believe he's in charge of their Hotel Operations. Sorry to see him leave Celebrity, but certainly wish him all the best in his new position.

MisterBill99 Posted August 29, 2013 #1885 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Just shows how tastes differ. We find JC to be the most obnoxious cruise director on Celebrity. I'm with you on this! He was on Constellation last cruise (and this current one) and I thought he was an idiot. He thinks he's very funny, and if he'd stopped laughing at himself, the morning shows could have been 5 minutes shorter. Even worse, he ruined the newlywed/not-so-newlywed show by wasting 15 minutes at the start just talking to the couples! He ended up running out of time and not being able to to the 2nd round where the wives get asked questions and the husbands have to guess the answers! I've never seen that before. I also find his using initials and not his real name to be ridiculous. I usually don't care much one way or the other about CD's but really disliked him. Update - I see the JC being referred to earlier was a "James Cox". Ours only went by JC so I'm not sure if it is the same person and perhaps he's decided to go incognito.

MisterBill99 Posted August 29, 2013 #1886 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Strangely, many names are different than the last post here from July.. Master: Captain Nikolaos Frantzis Chief Engineer: Nikolaos Politsis Staff Captain: Filippos Adelfoulakos Hotel Director: Marcela Salum F&B Manager: Karl Hallberg (he did not enjoy our last conversations, where I pointed out that the chef's recommended dish in the Celebrity Daily had been wrong most days) Executive Chef: Jason Banyon Guest Relations: Touch Ung Cruise Director: JC (ugh) Captains Club Host: Lionel Music: Carousel (party band), String Harmony (string trio), Fade to Blue (jazz quartet) Guitar Sean Golden Edited August 29, 2013 by MisterBill99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always called himself JC as far as I know. Unfortunately we had him on 2 different cruise ships (Eclipse and Infinity). We are on the Equinox in November for a back to back, hope he hasn't changed to Equinox by November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBill99 Posted August 29, 2013 #1891 Share Posted August 29, 2013 This is a picture of James Calhoun a CD with Celebrity: Perhaps the JC is not James Cox but James Calhoun? Yes, that looks like him (I can post the picture from the sheet, if necessary). BTW, I read his bio and it says he used to have a band "Jamie Frasier & The Majors" so I was thinking that might be his name. Maybe not. I did mention how much I disliked him on my comment form.

MisterBill99 Posted August 29, 2013 #1894 Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) note the 2008 post with no additional info. When I saw him and asked about the initials, I asked if he was in witness protection or something (which is the excuse I use when refusing onboard pictures - can't take credit for it, I got it from someone else here on CC). He chuckled (not his usual excessive laugh) but didn't give me an answer as to why he just used initials.
