Rare silentbob007 Posted July 13, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I think captains do 10 weeks on and 10 weeks off (from what I remember from Captain Johnny's Captains Corner), so it may depend on how that works out or if he transfers to another ship (I've heard Allure mentioned).

rubrrick Posted July 13, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Captain Johnny came out with the Mariner......from the shipyard. It's been his ship since day one! He shares his duties with his reliever....Captain Per.....another great person.......and also enjoys Harleys.......or he would be in trouble....since, from the time that you enter the "off limits" area of the deck quarters to the bridge........it's full of Harley pictures. As Bob mentioned.........his schedule......which can vary from time to time......is 10 weeks on and 10 weeks off. He has 10 days to go......before he goes......back home on Holiday!

ASeaPrincess1 Posted July 13, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It was my understanding that he was leaving the Mariner permanently, but I heard that he was going to Oasis. Correct me if I'm wrong. I really enjoyed Captain Johnny, and would love for him to be on my cruise in January. But, he told me he wouldn't be on Mariner in January......I asked him.......:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Captains list for the Captains of the Oasis.........it's Thore and Tor......after Captain Bill does his thing!:) Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbeanboy Posted July 13, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks like he left his baby today "for good" and won't be coming back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted July 13, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks like he left his baby today "for good" and won't be coming back! Yikes.......you might be right! I did'nt check my calendar......but I might be off by 10 days......... I thought that he would be on the Mariner for one or two more "tours" before heading to Helsinki.......and the Allure.....as she is coming together.

Some a few posts back on the current captains list there was mention of him leaving the Mariner, going on vacation and then reporting to Finland for the Allure.

wolfganghowell Posted July 13, 2009 #12 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Seems pretty boneheaded that the Travel Channel show spent so much airtime on a Captain that will no longer be onboard the ship. The show is already "out of date" and it just came out. The producers didn't do their research well. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't his usual rotation :rolleyes:. We sailed with Capt Johnny 2 years ago and will miss him when we are in the Mariner in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginny Ray Posted July 13, 2009 #15 Share Posted July 13, 2009 We just got off Mariner yesterday..at the Captains Corner chat, he indicated he was going home but would be back after vacation time off....and he has been with the Company 34 years and been on all the ships in the fleet....did not say he was Captain of all those ships....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASeaPrincess1 Posted July 13, 2009 #17 Share Posted July 13, 2009 We were told in Oct that Capt Johnny would be leaving Mariner to take Allure. So I've been told. Regardless, he will not be on Mariner, but I will be, again. I guess I will have to wait for Allure to be finished if I ever want to hear, "Good morning, good morning, good morning....," again:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elleluv Posted July 14, 2009 #20 Share Posted July 14, 2009 We're just off Mariner yesterday.... Capt Johnny did say he was off for 10 weeks vacation beginning this week. He will be Master of Allure, but according to him, he'll be back on Mariner for about 3 more tours before leaving. He said he won't be heading to Finland until Fall, 2010.
