Anyone else going on the Allure of the Seas on May 12th 2019? Starting to get excited for the trip!

Anyone else sailing on Explorer of the Seas to Alaska on May 19th 2017? This will be my second time in Alaska and second time on RCL. Can't wait!

I'm doing the same thing, going to be traveling with family.

So excited to be going on this trip soon! :)

Just booked a couple of weeks ago. So excited to go somewhere new!

I enjoyed your video immensely--it is so cool to recognize someone I know in it! It looks like Slavisa's two helpers were alot of fun and really got into the dancing part. Yes, I did see Slavisa in the background...his dancing is just the same as I remember! Ohhh, what fond memories!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I wish i had used a better camera to take it. Yeah the assistants got into it a lot more than Slavisa did lol! He unsuccessfully tried to get all the people at our table to dance with him.

We have so many great memories with them from our cruise, just like your family does too I'm sure!

I'm still amazed we had the same waiter! Out of all the reviews I've read, i've never recognized a name or seen a familiar face. It's so neat! Loved your pics and video too :D

Slavisa/Slavisha whatever the correct spelling is? :confused: (However I'm thinking your spelling likely is the correct one--no wonder his name tag was hidden under his lapel)! Anyway Slavisa was a fantastic and very hardworking and devoted waiter. What a coincidence that you had the same waiter--that is sooo cool! It is true, he was not much into the dancing part. He always tried to get my boys to come and join him but never had any success with that! However, I did catch him on video...dancing!

 

Click on the photo below to see it!

 

I was able to open the photo link you sent with Slavisa. Thanks for sharing. I agree, he does look better with the spiked hairdo!

 

I wonder if Slavisa ever sees these reviews?

I know it's so cool! In all the reviews i've read i've never seen him mentioned until now. He was great! Definitely has to be one of the best! We're so lucky that we both had him!

Thanks for sharing the video! His dancing hasn't changed any in 3 months :p. Here's the link for my video if you're interested. It mostly show the 2 assistants, but you can sorta see him in the background part of the time. He's way in the back and goes in and out the frame several times.

Wow! You had Slavisha too and he once had spiked hair! That's amazing! I would love to see a photo of him with his spiked hair!

(Not that it matters, but he does spell his name with the "h". It is a silent "h" though. My DH wrote his name down on a piece of paper so we would remember how to spell and pronounce his name correctly. So whether he spells his name with an h or not--at least we know who he is! ;))

 

It sounds like I Wayan & Nemanja were wonderful helpers. It is too bad that we didn't get to meet them! It is amazing how much the waiters can add to your experience in the MDR. I don't even know the name of Slavisha's other helper--actually we didn't even see his helper that much. Most nights Slavisha was a one man show--serving the bread, taking our orders, bringing the dessert menu and serving our food. I think his helper only brought our desserts twice. We also had a new girl in training, Natalia and she basically kept our water glasses filled--although again Slavisha did this most nights as well. He truly was one busy guy! Even so, at the end of our dinner he always took some time to talk and tell us a little bit about his country and girlfriend.

 

Thanks for sharing your memories too!

Yes he was awesome! I was so surprised looking at your review when you mentioned his name! I was wondering if it could be him, but i figured there's probably more than 1 waiter working for carnival with that name. But when I saw the picture, I was like "OMG It's him!!"

We were on the cruise at the end of may/beginning of june. I liked his spikey hair! i thought the spiked hair with the square glasses was a good look for him! It sounds like he must have assistants that are pretty new, on our cruise he let them do a lot of the work lol.

I don't know about on your cruise, but on our's he didn't seem to into the whole dancing thing lol. He spent most of the time trying to get us to dance with him than actually doing it himself lol. I have this one video that he's in, but you can't see him very well :(. I tried to attach a picture, but I can't get it to show up. Hopefully this link will work:

That's so funny about his name! He must have 2 name tags lol. I have this one picture with him where you can read it , and it says "Slavisa". Our assistant waiter Nemanja had 2 name tags too I know, on one it was spelled correctly, on the other it was spelled "Nemanjah". so i guess that happens sometimes, but whatever :p

I've only been on a couple cruises, but Slavisa & his assistants were definitely my favorite waiters! He was so kind & gracious. I don't know about all the other waiters, but he definitely has to be one of the best!

 

 

But before we leave the MDR for our very last time, we get a photo of our wonderful waiter Slavisha with us.

What an awesome review!! I love the detail and the photos that go along with it! I just got back from the Legend western caribbean cruise a few months ago myself and I always love to read what others think about it.

I had Slavisa as my headwaiter as well!! :D (I'm pretty sure that he spells it without the "h", not that it matters :) ) I can tell your family loved him as much as we did! He's such a nice and funny guy! He looks so different without his spiked up hair though! It looks like from your video that he has a new section and new assistants. We were all the way on the right side against the windows and had assistants I Wayan & Nemanja. Too bad you didn't have them too, they were hilarious!! I Wayan wouldn't let us leave every night until he showed us a magic trick. Nemanja was an awesome dancer on the nights they did the singing & dancing! All three of them were so great & made our cruise that much better!

I love your review! The picture of y'all with Slavisa brought back all those great memories of our cruise! I had to go back and look at the pictures we took with him on our last night lol. So glad you had a great time!!!

Once I walking up the stairs and one of my assistant waiters from the MDR was coming down at the same time. This older lady with a cane was about 5 ft ahead of me. I was about to say something to him, when the older lady accidently tripped him with her cane. He came flying down the stairs and crashed into me! I wrapped one of my arms around him to try to catch him and with the other hand i tried to grab the handrail, but needless to say I was unsuccessful. I missed the handrail and his momentum carried me over backwards. We tumbled all the way down to the bottom of the stairs and landed in a pile at the bottom. He jumped up off of me and pulled me to my feet and apoligized over and over. Of course there were about 50 people waiting to get on the elevators who saw the whole thing.

I wasn't mad at all, just super embarassed. We laughed about it later. He jokingly told the other people at our table that he had tackled me on the stairs lol. Even though it happened really fast, I'll never forget that split second of seeing a 6ft Serbian man flying down the stairs at me :D

He was an awesome waiter by the way lol

On my cruise last summer, I was walking along 7 mile beach in Grand Cayman with my camera taking pictures. I noticed one of my waiters was there with his friends from the ship. I waived to him, he waived back, and I kept walking. I heard someone running up behind me, I turned to look & it was him. He walked with me probably almost a mile down the beach and back, just talking and joking around. I thought it was incredibly nice of him since it was his day off & he was with his friends. He could've just waived & let it go at that, but instead he chose to spend 45 minutes of his break time talking to me. He was definitely the nicest crew member i've ever met!
