FYI. One thing the computer does not hold is your nickname.
On the online Guest Information Form, there is a spot for Nickname. I always put mine in. It’s a shortened version of my middle name. When I enter a Dining Room, I am always called by my first name. As I am currently on an extended voyage, I would really like to be called my preferred name.
With this concern, I went to the concierge and asked what could be done. Apparently, there is nowhere in the computer system where the preferred name from the guest form is actually used. Your name is used only from your passport. The concierge suggested an email be sent out to all departments with my photo and preferred name. That was not the method I wanted this problem solved.
I am not sure what was done, but miraculously, I have been called my nickname ever since. I really didn’t want a big issue, just to be called my requested name. I wonder why that area on the Guest Information Form isn’t used?
