Captain Gillou was extremely popular with the crew because he visited every department and every part of the ship each day and would take time to talk with crew members. Most captains rarely venture beyond the bridge and guest areas. Gillou was also very available to the guests and very easy to talk with. There was also some crew talk that he wasn't "corporate" enough and would often offer opinions that didn't fit the corporate directions. Sounds like politics there. With the requirement for French captains and line officers removed it makes one wonder what other officer changes may surface....
