kampinguru Posted December 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted December 11, 2009 We had a waiter on the Century in 2004 named Marius from Romania. I do not remember his last name but he was an exceptional waiter. He had an assistant waiter named Germain and the two of them were fantastic. They are the measuring stick I still use when comparing wait staff. Not sure where they went and I wish I had gotten their last names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compass Rose Monica Posted December 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted December 11, 2009 On my equinox cruise, Nelson was wonderful! Our table was 320 on the 3rd deck. His assistant waiter was Yovani, also great. At the end of our first night, Nelson went around the table asking what we'd like to be called - name, nick-name, whatever. He remembered our names (10 of us) immediately. That made the evenings better. I don't remember being called by name on my other cruises.

RickT Posted December 11, 2009 #5 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Years back on the Galaxy it was a guy named Pachenko (sp?). Best ever. Wonder if he is still with X and what ship he is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibby1 Posted December 11, 2009 #8 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Our favorite waiter was Kerim who was on the Zenith the last year she was in service for Celebrity. I imagine he went on to be a Matre D if he stayed on with Celebrity Lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV2COOK Posted December 11, 2009 #9 Share Posted December 11, 2009 2005 on the Galaxy....Capt. Kirk....best waiter in 24 cruises!! He was excellent and absolutely funny too. Wish I knew if he was still working on one of the ships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spearmint Posted December 11, 2009 #11 Share Posted December 11, 2009 There are a few that come to mind, but I think that Gede, from Bali, took care of us the best! He was on Constellation in November 2008. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted December 11, 2009 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2009 A few come to mind for me as well......Adrian, from Romania was my waiter on Mercury and I just saw him on Equinox. He has been promoted to Asst' Maitr'd.:) One of my favorites no longer works on the line....Milan from Bosnia. When I was on Mercury in Sept I met another couple who also spoke about him.:D He was my waiter twice on Zenith and again on Mercury. And I ran into another waiter from Bali on Equinox...his name is Miniarta but we were told to call him "Mini":D...he was my waiter on Galaxy back in January and after the ship left the fleet he was transferred to Equinox. His smile can light up a room:) and it was such fun seeing him again! Lots of wonderful wait staff:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS8 Posted December 11, 2009 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Without question, Imade on Century was the BEST waiter we have ever had. I hope maybe he is on Equinox when we sail in February. If not, I hope he has at least been promoted to Asst' Maitr'd on Century or other ship. Mazy was the best Asst' Maitr'd we've ever had, on Infinity.

txsloth Posted December 11, 2009 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2009 There was a lady in Constellation's specialty restaurant 2 years ago--I don't recall her name, but she was from a Scandinavian country. On that sailing she told us she was about to move to a specialty in another M-Class ship. She had the voice of an angel--I really would've paid the cover charge just to listen to her talk about the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on Constellation in November 2008. Bill I have heard that name mentioned a few times before in some Celebrity threads. He must indeed be very good to be mentioned so often. I am pretty sure that there are people from Celebrity who read posts on this board so I am hoping that perhaps they will read this and some of these deserving workers will get a nice promotion. They certainly deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than anything coming from this site it is best to give kudos to those folks while on your cruise....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also try to mention these wonderful workers by name to their superiors while still on my cruise. They certainly deserve all the kudos so it definitely doesn't hurt to have another venue to showcase those who deserve it.
