Sandtrap328 Posted December 2, 2014 #3126 Share Posted December 2, 2014 We just returned on the Silhoutte 11/23. The first week of 11-16 to 23 was Cruise Director Ben Pefarmy. He got off on 11-23 and was replaced by one of his staff named Marc Bunnafucci. Both had decent personalities. One of the cruise activity staff, Chiko, was not only a good staff member but an excellent singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted December 2, 2014 #3131 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Chiko is hoping to break into show business -- he certainly has the voice for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickey_mouse Posted December 2, 2014 #3132 Share Posted December 2, 2014 We sail in two weeks and are curious as to the current cruise director (heard there was a recent change) and guest entertainers on the Silhouette. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandbuoy Posted December 2, 2014 #3133 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Forgot the cd's name (perhaps Paul?), not very high visibility They had the "xilosynth" guy--the one they won't tell you what he plays b-4 hand. Garrett--the ventriliquist. Lady singer 3 production shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candhu18 Posted December 2, 2014 #3134 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The CD's name was Mark Bachiochi. He was reasonably entertaining although did not have the presence of Sue Denning. The executive chef, Tato, appeared to be much more popular than Mark. The xylosynth player was David Mayer. I thought he was very good, especially on the last evening when he shared the show with Claire. The singer / pianist was absolutely excellent; her name was Claire Vinkesteijn - she is English married to a Dutchman. Her maiden name I believe was Maidden. The ventriloquist was Gareth Oliver. I felt his show improved after the first 20 minutes. This was due to many latecommers with whom he had too much banter. Three shows: Velocity, Broadway and The Show. One of the performers around the ship that I found very entertaining was a singer / guitarist called Jonny Java Mantra. Other artists included a band called Soul, another called Soulstiss and a duo named Carly and the King. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless2 Posted December 3, 2014 #3137 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thank you very much! Did the ship offer any free games such as trivia? Yes. There were two or three trivias on sea days. And one or two on port days. Sent from my XT1060 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miataman19 Posted December 5, 2014 #3138 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Just a shot in the dark. Server Sasha, is she still on Reflection? She was at Tuscan Grill and the Porch. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villageneighbor Posted December 5, 2014 #3139 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Reflection Nov 29, 2014 We were on the Reflection this summer and mid cruise in Athens was the change to Peppas. It was interesting to see the difference in personalities of the captain, with Peppas a bit more talkative and fun. Both were very safety oriented, approachable and ran a great ship!

LegalE2010 Posted December 8, 2014 #3143 Share Posted December 8, 2014 We got off the Silhouette yesterday, and Mark is the cruise director, but the other entertainment acts were not what previous posters stated. We had a comedy juggler named Pete Matthews (who was hilarious and talented, but it seemed his stint on the ship was over after this week), former broadway singer Lindsay Hamilton, Sin City Comedy, and the Silhouette production shows Velocity, Silhouette The Show, and Broadway Nights. The Silhouette singers and dancers were pretty good, but they just ended their 7 months on the ship with this sailing, and were going home for vacation, so you will get a new cast on your sailing. There was trivia twice a day most days, and I believe three times a day on certain days. Hope this helps a little! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C 2 C Posted December 9, 2014 Author #3146 Share Posted December 9, 2014 David Mayer boarded Reflection in Miami, performed Saturday night and disembarked in San Juan. Some entertainers jump from ship to ship, others stay a little longer. There is a fantastic female pianist onboard who is still here on our back to back cruise. She performs again tonight.

Bogdan Sfarghin was the concierge in Michael's Club. He was joined by Lenny Gabriel-Regis on the November 29 cruise. Bogdan told me he would be working with the butlers when the suits came on board December 8. Bogdan is wonderful! Didn't have much interaction with Lenny. We were in the penthouse and entertained a lot, so did not attend any of the Captain's Club events. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
