Thanx for the SUN update. Do you know if Leah (concierge) will still be on the ship come mid January? How is she? Do you know who the butlers are and if they will be there mid January? Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

 

She is going on vacation in 3 weeks and will return on Jan 11

Hi Suzzane

 

It's great to be with Hal Broomes again. "A new Broomes sweeps clean" is my motto. :D He provided me with 8 extra balcony chairs for our cruise critic Panama Canal transit.

[Uniall]

Inquiring minds want to know... why?!?!?

 

Like Mary, curious minds want to know.

 

Was he "put off" as You're fired, or did he just get off to head on vacation, or was he ill?

 

We like ti know what's going on.....

Some times it's best to remember Mother's Rules: "MYOB" ;)

I spoke with him on the pier while he was waiting in a cab to,the airport. He was very open as to the reason. Not my role to share. Nothing bad but he is no longer employed by NCL.

John,

 

We had Denton as our Exec. Chef several years ago - Alaska Cruise.

We were traveling with a Chef and Denton gave us a personal tour of the kitchens.

It was amazing and he was warm and friendly.

AND he was an excellent chef!

I would love to sail with him again.

Hi

 

We met him last night at the VIP Cocktail party. He seems like a very nice man but he stayed in the background with the Captain and HD taking the lead.

You are so lucky if these are your officers.

We were with Hugo on the Star in the spring.

Also Vik another great person.

We knew O'Neil when he was a Head Bartender.

He has the biggest smile you will ever see.

 

Hugo is extremely warm and friendly.

He loves to please the passengers.

 

Omar is good also if he is there.

 

Still, may favorites from this group are:

HD - Hugo

F & B - Vik

Bev Mgr - O'Neil

 

Be sure to get to know them.

[crusingalong]

We'll be on the NCL Dawn Nov. 7th! All I've heard is that she has a new Captain but that's all. Does anyone have any names to share?

 

Maybe someone from the Bermuda Cruise the previous week will get back to us! Judy (Travel Junkie Judy) maybe you or your fellow cruise mates can get back to us before we leave. :D

 

Thanks in Advance,

Ruth & Bill (crusingalong)
