This from Terry Breen's August Newsletter. Lucky Voyager cruisers!! Get ready for the bagpipe music.
Captain John McNeil moves to the Seven Seas Voyager
After a most enjoyable summer cruising the Inside Passage of Alaska with Captain McNeil on the Seven Seas Navigator, sadly for us he will be transferring to the Seven Seas Voyager effective next week. He leaves the Navigator on August 20th for a two week handover on the Voyager after which time he will be enjoying the sun of the Mediterranean. Taking the helm of the Voyager represents an exciting new challenge and Captain McNeil is eager to get to know his new ship. We will all sincerely miss him here and wish him the very best.

Yes, it is, Karen. When we were on the Voyager, the staff and crew were excited about going home or off ship while the ship's in dry dock.

I must be not understanding the original message, is Captain McNeil taking over the Voyager for just 2 weeks?

Not sure, Karen, but it sounds like Captain McNeil will be coming on after dry dock. Maybe the enjoying the sun of the Mediterranean comment refers to that area of the world versus Alaska.

I am excited to hear this as we will be boarding on Sept 29. So we get a great captain as well as a freshly dry docked ship.

Hope Capt. McNeil will be on Voyager BCN to Dubai in Nov. Thanks Beth for the report.
I still chuckle when I recall his answer when asked what he wears under his kilt:
"Shoes and socks."
 "Life is far too serious to be taken seriously."

Captain McNeil is awesome! Quite a nice piece of eye-candy too!
Yeah, I developed a bit of a crush on him while on DINGO.

Is not the ship for that cruise the Mariner. The Voyager is in China in January and February.
If the Mariner, June and I had lunch with friends on the Mariner when in Auckland on January 6 and there was a change in CR that day. New CR as of 1/6/15 on the Mariner is Willie Aames.
We did not talk about the captain.

Hi, and thanks for your responses. Sorry to be confusing in my question.I did mean the mariner , sydney to Papeete, leaving jan 20. My husband and I just saw it sail out of melbourne port on its way to sydney. We are very excited and hope our favourit Captain Felice will be on board. Regards,
Amanda

Sorry , since the Explorer was the topic of this thread, I read it the wrong way. Indeed we are on the Mariner 1/20, and I heard that Frank Galzy was perhaps the GM, but have no idea the others, as I enjoy them all!
However, I think I would have remembered if the Captain was Felice, as he
is also a favorite!
