floralscent Posted March 12, 2014 #2401 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We are sailing on the Solstice in May and were hoping Captain Dimitrios was going to be moved to that ship. We have cruised 10 times and he is by far our favorite Captain. He has a super sense of humor, is out chatting with passengers often onboard and will stop for photos with passengers even when you can tell he is on his way somewhere. He is the most personable Captain we have come across. I even heard employees on the ship talking about Dimitrios and how much they liked working for him. That in itself, I think, says a lot.

kfrey68 Posted March 12, 2014 #2402 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Anyone have any information on the crew for the Summit? We aren't cruising until June so I know it is subject to change but I have not seen any information in quite some time on this ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baycruising Posted March 12, 2014 #2403 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Can anyone tell me the name of the cruise director on Solstice for the current Australia/New Zealand route. Interested to know names of all the officers on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stjames Posted March 12, 2014 #2406 Share Posted March 12, 2014 We were told by friends who sailed with Raffaele B last cruise that he was going to the Summit as HD any idea of when he is going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted March 12, 2014 #2407 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He (raffaele) left Eclipse about a week ago for the Summit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If only Posted March 12, 2014 #2408 Share Posted March 12, 2014 any idea of when he is going? He must be there now as I understand Darren Tiller is the HD on the Eclipse now so I would assume that Raffaele is on the Summit now, maybe someone on the Summit could clarify that.

MisterBill99 Posted March 12, 2014 #2409 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He has now left the Silhouette and going to Summit I'll be on Summit in June and look forward to meeting him! Sent from my VS980 4G using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surebeatssailing Posted March 13, 2014 #2410 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Does anyone know who the captain was on a transatlantic cruise that began the first week of December 2012? He was " covering " for the regular captain who was on vacation. This captain was very engaging & entertaining & EVERYONE stopped to listen to his daily announcement because it was usually funny. He made himself available every day at 1215 on deck 5 for a "Kodak" moment & many people had their picture taken with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had him on the Silhouette TA last April and he was by far the best we've had yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare richstowe Posted March 13, 2014 #2414 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I can't believe that JC is still the CD on Constellation. We had him last summer and thought he was terrible. I thought he was just a vacation substitute. Just off Connie and JC announced that this was his last cruise as he was going on holiday.Don't know when or where he will next be. While I agree he was smarmy (as someone posted), I was amused by the morning show he did with Mark the activity manager/entertainment director. Yes there was a lot of fake laughter , but they were entertaining. I am sad to hear Captain Tasos is going to be taking a break (well, happy for him, sad for me). We'll be on the 3/8 cruise - looks like he may be gone by then :( Also not happy to hear JC is kind of a dud. I do think a good CD can make a big difference Wonder who you got as CD. Let us know.

The_Big_M Posted March 13, 2014 #2416 Share Posted March 13, 2014 What happened to all the Solstice entries? Have they all moved on since January when updated then? Sounds rather dramatic if so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseImage Posted March 13, 2014 #2418 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I never assume, but do people actually know that Captain Dimitrios & Tasos are "brothers" :cool: If you see either of them again, ask about their ships whistle blowing competition they had between themselves in Cozumel on Dec 31st 2013 between the SI and CS.

Austrian Posted March 13, 2014 #2419 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Guess we'll be lucky enough to see him on the 13 April sailing:D MARK Once you are onboard, can you post a staff list? I'm on the April 20 TA and would love a heads-up. Thanks Harald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Dimitreus gave us an echo demonstration on the Silhouette Dec2013 TA, as we were leaving the Cote d' Azur. The delay was over 18 seconds, indicating a distance from the mountain of at least 3 kilometers , or 2 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surebeatssailing Posted March 14, 2014 #2421 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks for your help in identifying the "captain in question". The ship was the Silhouette on the December 2012 TA. He was delightful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there was a lot of fake laughter , but they were entertaining. Yes, but it was probably much longer than it needed to because he thought he was so funny and did all the fake laughing. I did like Mark. How long are CD vacations, 3 months? I hope so, that way he won't be able to be on my Summit cruise in early June.
