Commodore Warwick to Retire!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from the Cunard UK and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com COMMODORE WARWICK TO RETIRE Cunard Line announced today that Commodore Ronald Warwick OBE., Master of Queen Mary 2, will be retiring on 31 July 2006 after 36 years of company service. Commodore Warwick joined Cunard Line as a Third Officer in 1970. He first sailed as Captain in 1986 on board Cunard Princess, and also sailed in command of the Cunard Countess and Cunard Crown Dynasty before his appointment as Master of Queen Elizabeth 2 in July 1990. From April 1996 he sailed permanently as senior Master on board Queen Elizabeth 2 until his appointment as Master-designate of Queen Mary 2 in 2002. In December 2003 he was promoted to the rank of Commodore of the Cunard Line fleet. Commodore Warwick holds the unique distinction in Cunard Line’s long history of notable Captains by following in the footsteps of his late father, Commodore William Warwick CBE, who sailed as Master of the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, was the first Master appointed to Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1968, and was also promoted to Commodore of the fleet, in 1970. In June 2005 Commodore Ronald Warwick’s service to the Merchant Navy was recognised by him being awarded the OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for that year. Commodore Warwick also holds the rank of Captain in the Royal Naval Reserve, and is a Fellow of the Nautical Institute. To mark the occasion of his retirement year, Commodore Warwick and his wife Kim will be sailing on Queen Mary 2 in June and July and several special events are planned during these voyages. |

Hi, Are you insinuating something? vbg Do inquiring minds want to know? Best regards, Ray Does anyone have a clue what the 100% refund that Cunard issued for whatever portion of the cruise they covered cost Carnival. It certainly wasn't the kind of mistake that would earn the Commodore an "Atta Boy", but more likely an "Outta Here". -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ (* _ *) |
