Current Concierges continued discussion


Recommended Posts

If you never step foot in the CL, I agree with you. However, if you go in there for a snack, appetizers, a drink, cappuccino (you get the idea), or if (s)he escorts you off the ship on a tender port day, or on disembarkation day, (s)he deserves a tip.

 

I also agree. I always give the Concierges a tip.

Thanks Sherri for the updated list of Concierges. Is there a list of Diamond Concierges? We will be sailing on the Grandeur on October 28, 2017. Would like to know the name of our Diamond Concierge?

 

 

 

It’s on the same spreadsheet just a different tab.

Can you please tell me how much we should tip the concierge?

 

I understand your question, I struggle with this also --- Is it $10, $20? As you stated, you don't want to insult the person. I probably overtip b/c of this.... I know this is a VERY subjective matter. And can get MANY different responses.... I wish there was a more simple answer! Like the 20% when dining (yes, I know they don't do this much outside the US - but that is where I am from).

We tip when they do something , we had a great guy on Brilliance last year, had issues. With DVD player in the suite , he came to suite to make sure it was working, would check everyday with everyone to make sure everything was ok, also escorted us off at port, whole staff was great we tipped with every drink and gave him a hundred , also helped with other issues should have tipped more for 12 day cruise.

Today is the last day for Gisleni Arajoe as concierge on the Freedom as she will be getting married next month. New concierge will be YingJin.
Thanks for the update. Is Gisleni coming back after she gets married? Or is she leaving RCI?

What is a Diamond Host? Is that different from Diamond Concierge Ligia Kandler?

Good evening from the Brilliance of the Seas. As mentioned earlier Amit is in the CL. I stopped by the DL earlier and Mihaela Olteniceanu is in the DL.

 

Happy cruising.

Thanks Bette -- I must not have caught that. Amit was our concierge on FR back in 2011.

Amit took such good care of us on Rhapsody, back in 2014. He was most helpful to me, in particular. If you get a chance, please say hello to him from Karen. :)
