Tell me about any of your favorite Princess staff members that you have met over the years & post pictures if you can. It can be any staff member at all from bar staff, waiters, cabin stewards, entertainment staff, comedians, singers etc etc.

 

This is Cruise Director Fernando from Brazil. Last saw him in May 2019 on the Star. Hopefully all of the staff members are doing well and we can see them all again soon!

Christopher Ocampo: Wine server/IC. Sea Princess 2011

Faye: Favorite server to date. Coral Princess 2015

Noel: Bar server. Emerald Princess 2017. I "adopted" this guy as my son for 28 days. Hope he goes far in life. What a great young man. Heads turned one evening when my wife walked into Club Fusion and he yelled out, "MOM!" and went over to give her a big hug. 😁

Chris (Best Bartender Ever) and his sidekick Darshan along with the bar manager. (Can't remember her name - (Maryanne?) - which peeves me - but she was great as well.) Emerald Princess 2017

I am vexed that I seem to have lost my pics of Milena Markovic. She was a truly wonderful young lady who was our "personal" bar server on two cruises. Emerald Princess 2017 and Emerald Princess 2019.

My favorite captain was Ed Perrin. My favorite cruise director turned entertainment director is Ron Goldman; his professionalism and eye for talent are bar none. My favorite assistant cruise director turned cruise director is Dan Appleby, loved his sense of humor. My favorite cruise staffer turned cruise director is Matt O; no one could possibly have as much energy as him. Victoria Stevens was the most bubbly, energetic cruise staffer I encountered for years, but I haven’t heard or seen anything about her in years. Does anyone know if she still works for Princess? 
 

There are so many cruise staffers, room stewards, bartenders, chefs, and servers who have stood out over the years. I can’t remember their names, but I always fill out CRUISE cards for them onboard. I miss Princess crew!

Thanks for starting this thread.  I think we all are land locked and welcome any memories of our cruising days.  I'm not an avid photographer, but am enjoying the look of happiness of others.  

No problem. I agree, any cruise memories at this point are great. Thought it would be good to see if I recognized any names or pictures of other peoples favorite staff members!

Too many to name, had a wonderful Jnr Waiter on one cruise, not much of a waiter, but great fun, Joey, he was just a kid, but keen to learn.

 

Ronaldo a waiter who each evening had a manic trick to show us.

 

also a bar tender on Diamond, nearly a year later on Emerald we hear a voice, give the lady a Diet Coke too (she was getting a coffee) plenty of ice, no straw. He remembered her and my drink after all that time, Zoltan.

 

Maragite, who would give me different virgin cocktail each day, that being virgin came down to a Diet Coke.

 

A wonderful manager of the Pizza on Majestic who whenever he saw Mrs Gut out by herself would ask if I was OK, if I needed any physical assistance, and did she want him to send me something to eat.

 

probably the ones that stand out.

I don't have a picture but I'll give a shout out to Carmen in Vines on the Crown Princess. She is so friendly to everyone, knowledgeable about wine, and loves her job. We sailed with her for 31 days and then 2 1/2 years later we re-boarded the Crown and she remembered us and our names the first morning of the cruise when working as a barrista in the International Cafe.  She even asked if my sister and brother-in-law were cruising with us (they had been on the first cruise)! 

 

As others have noted, over the years we've completed commendation cards and provided extra tips to recognize many Princess waiters and stewards.

Carmen in Vines on the Crown Princess

also Junela - various  bars and Julius in Vines on Sky Princess

 

Junela was also in Crooners on the CB and could also shake a mean martini - but more importantly she escorted my wife to a restroom one night and made sure she was doing OK before bringing her back into Crooners ...

We haven't met Matt O yet but have heard lots of people say good things about him. Hopefully we'll come across him some time in the future!

We sailed with her twice on Royal and I believe she moved to Sky after that!

Thank you.  I thought I recognized her.  She was the Club Class hostess on the Royal during our 49 day South America cruise in 2019.  She was amazing.  So happy she was promoted!

Julia was wonderful at Sabatini's.  She always had a smile in the morning. She was on our Caribbean Princess British Isles cruise, so enjoyed 13 days of friendly, excellent service.  We were lucky to also have her for dinner service.
