Anyone know the main Nationality of the crew on the Coral?

We like to bring them gifts and things to read in their own language. We will be on the Coral next week. Thanks.

Princess is pretty diverse in this - I probably would look to plan B for gifts.

I just got off of the Coral and the nationalities that were prevelent were Philiphines and Romania.

I think they would prefer to read english especially what is on the front and back of a twenty dollar bill... :D

Well said Largin. That is definitely the most desirable reading for a crew member of any nationality.

 

We also just returned from the Coral Princess and we had the best cabin steward we have ever had. The service in the dining venues and in our favorite lounge Crooners was also great. There did seem to be many staff from the Phillipines and Romania.

The cruise staff changes constantly. Many cabin stewards are from the Philippines, many restaurant staff are from Romania. However, you'll find many from other countries as well.

Of course we give tips as well. We appreciate all their hard work and the attention they give us, so not to worry, they see $20.00's from us too.

In addition to what was already said, we also noticed waitstaff from Thailand. I think overall it's quite a mix! It's reassuring to know that many passengers do express their appreciation of the staff.

read this, the May 09 article regarding tipping, especially noting what is said about $20 bills......
