Joe01

he certainly needs some polishing up on his interaction but he wasn't horrible.    i think after he gets some more time under his belt, he will be much better.

What you see in those videos is pretty much what you get with them as CD. They always seemed a bit fake to me but I do appreciate the info that they provide on FB. It's a bit like cruising with Donny Osmond.

I don't know anyone - although I am active on social media and some CD's post their contracts there. Some of the other info is from what cruisers both here and on CC have reported.

Some videos of Mitch. Hope you enjoy! Also seems like a friendly guy based on his FB page - I always like the media-savvy CD's.

Well, that proved to be much harder than expected. Here is an update of everything that I know. If you find any other information, please let me know, because this list needs serious help.

He's now working with Disney in the Port and Shopping department. I believe that he was let go by Royal.

He seems to get good reviews. There is a Love and Marriage game show with him on YouTube, will try and find it since many on here are sailing AN with him soon.

Am I the only person who finds it impossible to read the new CC list?
Will be posting another update ASAP. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Marc on HM until 7/14 and returns 9/29. Dennis Charles is filling in for his break.
I'm on the 6/30 and 7/7 sailings so I've lucked out.

Was watching a Captain's Corner filmed on Symphony with Captain Rob. He said that Oasis 5 won't go to the Caribbean and will be built for a specific market with different venues. That pretty much means Asia, maybe even Australia for the Winter/
I'm hoping that this is fake news (do the Captains actually know?), however, do you think it will happen?

Obviously a big ship guy. Love Oasis Class, been ages since I last did Freedom Class (the itineraries suck).

A lot of the buildings in Paris look the same so that makes the incident yesterday at the Norte Dame even sadder given the unique and wonderful piece of architecture that it is.
Hoping it gets rebuilt.
As for YOLO destinations, I can't quite say that anywhere I've been yet falls into that category, especially given my desire to work on ships meaning that I may revisit many places. I think that if I went to Australia, then that may change.

Mike Szwajkowski is on SY until August 17th.
Any other updates? 

Perhaps Dunkin Donuts and Hardee`s will be added due to budget constraints from the crane accident.  Aqua theater might become a rock climbing wall. Who knows just speculation. 

B2B counts as 2 !!

Got a B2B on Harmony booked for 6/30 & 7/7, so not sure whether or not that counts as 2 cruises.
Nothing booked after that, just hopeful for a Freedom Class cruise soon (if only there was one in Florida or Barcelona).

Jamie Fentiman was great when he was CD on a cruise out of Southampton I took a couple of years or so ago

They can't get the slides and bits in place in a few weeks.  It's takes months to manage that supply chain and delivering materials to the shipyard just at the right time.  They'll have their hands full replacing railings and fixing the crane damage while trying to get her into service ASAP to avoid more cancellations.  
All they can do is lightweight work like carpeting and upholstery in the coming weeks.  I really don't see them scrapping the AMP and to what end?  If they cut the November AMP short in pursuit of placing it in service early they would have a very short sales cycle.  Trying to book the ship to sail full in November a mere six to eight months away means they won't sell it out.  She normally enjoys a two year sales cycle.  People would see through it and she would remain the old Oasis incapable of fetching the premium she will once she is "Symphonized".  
Then she sails into NYC as the old Oasis rather than the new AMPED Oasis everyone is expecting. Or they can't sail into NYC because the stacks aren't modified in November to allow her to clear the bridge.   Then if she goes to Galveston in 2021 she is the old Oasis again failing to meet expectations.  
I don't think they will abandon or modify the November plans.  Doing so would be fruitless.

My 1st cruise has been cancelled ? ? ?
