He's DLC VIP for sure. Best way to kill a story is get fresh new story. Bet he announces something!
What do you think it will be?

Wonder if it has anything to do with the Noro virus issue?

I wouldn't think so. I doubt that DCL (or any cruise line) would want to point the spotlight on their ship having Noro.

True. I was thinking more of a reassuring promotion.

That's what I was saying before but just something big enough to get enough attention away from last week and have everyone taking about something new on the Wonder. Like concrete updates for the upcoming dry-dock this fall. That would be great!

 

[OKW Lover]

I'm thinking that this sailing is a somewhat special one - a Panama Canal Crossing - that he decided to apply a personal touch.

 

[Tonka's Skipper]

That is where the guy in charge when one of his vessels has a problem, should be.


I would think he came on board in the morning to hear first hand the work going on and the status and then greeted the new guests to resure them DCL has handled the issue.

The news has had it before the public for.2.days so I imagine it is.no longer a secret.

I believe he did come on board for the issues the Wonder had on this last sailing. The ship was inspected by officials as well.

Also final sign off if the plans...

The Wonder's not headed for dry dock for months yet, why would the final plan sign off be now? And, why would it need to take place on the ship itself?

This is what I'm thinking too. He might release a few details on Wonder's upgrades too but I'd bet his main objective is to oversee the fixing of this issue and to reassure passengers that all is well.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

How about this - he's taking the cruise. He's done it before.

 

[su_A_ve]

If the Wonder gets its duck tail, making sure the Canal can fit it? LOL

Yes Princess Shmoo, we saw him on the Inaugural Alaska Cruise in 2011!

Thanks for the link - I had no clue who he is.

Who are you to question DF?
He has connections. Just read his blog.

I can just picture a secret room behind the bridge with blueprints laid out, the Captain and Commodore poring over them and talking quietly amongst themselves when Holtz walks in and, with a flourish of his Waterman fountain pen, signs a big John Hancock and says, "Now that I've been on board, these plans for the dry dock are approved!" There's much fanfare, Mickey gives him a high five and confetti flies.

You heard it here first. I have my inside sources.

I feel bad if he is, he will be cornered by many onboard with their "thoughts and ideas".......

Now that the secret is out that he's on there.

This is possible , he may even be making some shipyard details public. However I doubt he would be making the full cruise. It would be 2 long
