Schedule
for Damon Ramsey
I try to keep this as updated as possible. For just completed trips and work history go to work history of Damon Ramsey
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
Unfortunately, much of this schedule may no longer apply
Due to the virus, this schedule has been changed almost weekly.
There has been many bookings and cancellations and re-bookings.
Many companies have had to make multiple changes in their future itineraries.
I am also juggling up to five different company schedules.
This has resulted in many contradictory bookings that I am trying to sort out.
Please be aware, that it looks like that for the next few seasons, I will have to concentrate on companies offering Asia/Australia contracts to minimise cancellations.
Examples:
Work; including my role, dates, locations, ship, company
Cancellations & changes
Probably going to be cancelled by company or me
Private expeditions, time off
Courses & training & other random stuff
