But I think he was at the end of his contract 🤷🏼♀️ She talked to everyone on embarkation day in the lounge. The rest of the cruise we saw her constantly out talking to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved Rudy but also heard that he might be back when we get on in two weeks.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Will post if he’s there. I haven’t met Chef Lisa yet but someone said she’s definitely on.

He was YC director on Meraviglia when we were on in September '23. I'm so excited to think he may be on Divina. We sail 3/24 - 4/7/24 on Divina. When onboard can you provide YC director, M'aitre D, and Sommelier names. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogfog Posted March 29 #89 Share Posted March 29 Giorgio Vietello was a fab YC D on Merv in both 2020 and in 2022, yet I think he's on another MSC ship, not certain Pepe is YC Dir on Divinia, is excellent Simone in concierge on Divinia is excellent as was another lovely lady whose name escapes me at the moment Rudy (I think I have name right)--the man who is Head Butler on Divinia is excellent. Melania, YC Dir on Seashore is excellent. The Maitre D and Asst Maitre D on Seashore are both excellent. All of the above are personable, visible, approachable and BUSY. They are attentive to their YC guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get a dry rose 😞 We had some OBC to burn so we did order a few bottles from the wine list and they did have pretty much everything we ordered, I think that particular bottle was our 2nd choice on that day. The included wines were actually decent as well, only miss was one of the two Pinot Grigio offerings, it was too sweet, I don't recall the name, but the Germain Pinot Grigio was the better choice.

DH was happy enough with the Oberon. I primarily drink whites and found what was on offer: not chilled, and some too sweet. They had only a sweet rose-- which I don't drink. Two other parties were able to get a dry minerally rose in Le Muse and when I politely asked for that as a choice, I was told they didn't have any. I know that wasn't true and it came from somewhere on the ship (maybe Butchers Cut) Know that those two parties dealt with Pepe on it. DH was going to go to Butchers cut to get me a glass of wine. and Pepe was so busy I just wasn't going to add to the burdeon. We never saw a wine list- and were never offered the opportunity to buy off another list. Certainly would have done that. This was our 8th YC sailing and we felt Le Muse was by far the poorest experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wine list is always available on request, but due to the location of Le Muse, I suspect they do not generally offer it during service as it can take some time to retrieve specific bottles. I always made requests at breakfast which gave them plenty of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in keeping with the theme of the thread- best somm we had was Bogdon on Merav... He wine paired our meals every night (we had that ultra prem package which no longer exists) And he would be sure to bring up bottles to be waiting for us, and would open things accordingly. Told us that he would then share with staff after service to teach them more about wines wich we thought was fantastic. After our B2B he printed out the full list of what we had been served which was so helpful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Best Cat Mom Posted March 30 Author #95 Share Posted March 30 Does anyone know if Antonio is still Le Muse chef on Divina? We knew that Mehmet, Warsha, Glenn, Ryan and Susmita expected to still be on board for our cruise next week, but weren't sure about the chef.

Also had the fabulous Kulnal as waiter. What an outstanding combo. Don't recall if we ever saw him on one our Seaside sailings but never on Mera. I was also on the Divina in late 2021. I also thought Arthur and Kulnal was an outstanding combo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
