kampinguru Posted January 3, 2014 #2226 Share Posted January 3, 2014 My mistake then. We heard him referred to as that when we were on-board. Did not know it was already taken :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boeckli Posted January 3, 2014 #2227 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Maria and if she is still working for Celebrity. When we cruised with her she was the best activities manager and felt she was a tremendous asset to Celebrity. However, i have seen some very negative reviews on her from 2012. I hope she didn't get fired. Anyone know? She was activities manager on Solstice during our Dec 10 sailing I was told on Silhouette that Sue left to run operations on Labadee. Same info as we recently got on Solstice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly g Posted January 4, 2014 #2228 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anyone know where CD Paul Baya is? He is a terrific CD! How often does Celebrity move the major staff around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C 2 C Posted January 4, 2014 Author #2229 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anyone know where CD Paul Baya is? He is a terrific CD! How often does Celebrity move the major staff around? I believe a CD is onboard for 4 months and then get two months off. Some of them have permanent ships and others move around to fill the two month slots. Paul Baya was on SL in September to ?. Perhaps he will be spotted again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks we are taking the transatlantic on the Reflection in April and really hope he is sailing on the ship. He makes the trip fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare keesar Posted January 4, 2014 #2231 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks we are taking the transatlantic on the Reflection in April and really hope he is sailing on the ship. He makes the trip fantastic! We totally agree. Paul Baya is very visible on the ship and makes the cruise more enjoyable. He does NOT disappear during the day like some CD's we have had. Paul is also a very talented singer. Very personable young man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trabeler Posted January 5, 2014 #2232 Share Posted January 5, 2014 any idea how long these folks will be on board?Sheldon, John and Cameron and Jonette? It would be nice to see them all again in February! Lois - Just off the Century this morning. Lots of crew changes coming up. I think everyone had arranged their schedules to be away for the original long dry dock. Captain left on time off today and said he'll be getting married. CD John will leave after the last transit cruise. I also think Jonette will be leaving then as well. Sheldon is also going on time off as well. Not sure about Cameron, however. I had some trouble finding anyone who would still be there when we sail on Century again on 23 Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think that the passengers on the February Century cruises will be the most interesting element of the cruises. But some of us do have our favourites. There are senior staff (and hosts) that mingle and those that are nearly invisible. It's not about the ships you take but the friends you make. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TLCOhio Posted January 6, 2014 #2243 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This is a summary of the latest posts. However Century for example already has had several changes. Appreciate your excellent updates and work. It seems for the Solstice that the latest on this ship was for December before the crew change overs on Dec. 23. Right? We are now at two weeks till we will be boarding the Solstice in super spectacular Sydney harbor with our neighbors of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge for our Jan. 20-Feb. 3 Sydney to Auckland cruise. Will keep checking back for any Solstice January updates. THANKS! Enjoy!

BocaRoo Posted January 14, 2014 #2247 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Is Ben Powney still on Eclipse? any one know for how long? Ben Powney WAS still on the Eclipse when we disembarked last Saturday! I do not know for how long he will be on board! Also, an FYI: Simona Stumberger is back onboard as Guest Relations Manager, having replaced Marisa Rebelo, until sometime in April! :):) Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
