Favorite employee on Royal Caribbean

The Celebrity board has a great thread going about their favorite waiter. How about one here about your favorite employee on a Royal Caribbean ship?

Mine would be a tie between Matias who helped us in the Windjammer, Safudin, one of the few photographers who can get a picture of me with m eyes open, or Olivia in guest relations, who always had a pleasant answer for me when I had a question for her. These are people who make sailing on the Graundeur so pleasant for us.

My favorites are from the Serenade-

Loved our cruise director and assistant cruise director:Carly and Frankie

Errol was our waiter--loved him!

Manuel was our favorite bartender

and Maritza- from the concierge

My favorite cabin steward was Franklin on Sovereign

My favorite waiter was Balacz (Bally) on Grandeur

My favorite bar man was Leo in Schooner's on Majesty

My favorite head waiter was Gerald on Majesty

My favorite assistant waiter was Egland on Vision

My favorite cruise director was Richard Spacey on Freedom

and of course my favorite captain was Capt Nik formerly on Legend

I like all the people who make the omelets in the Windjammer. They also do a great job!

Definitely De De - Concierge on the Adventure of the Seas :D

It seems like we find a new favorite every time we cruise. On our last two they have been our concierges: Diego on Legend of the Seas and Julian on Enchantment. Deborah Gorman is one of our favorite Loyalty Ambassadors and we have had the pleasure of sailing with her on the Jewel of the Seas, three times in the past. So many of our dining room and bar waiters have provided us with such superlative service that it is difficult if not impossible to single out any particular individuals. Cora, our room steward on the Jewel Transatlantic in 2005 was one of the best that we have experienced.:)

Like Bill, we too seem to find a new "best" on every cruise :)

Dio, our Steward on the Navigator was the very best. Olga and Zee on the Jewel are our favorite MDR servers, and Clinton and Mitzi from the Monarch are our favorite servers in the casino :D

The one who brings me drinks.

My favorite employee would have to be the one that is waiting on me at the moment.:D

I would have to say my favorite stateroom attendant would be the one from the Bermuda cruise we took. He was personable, friendly, and did a great job. He also found post cards that I left and saved them for me and gave them to me 6 weeks later when I was back on board the ship.

Another great person in Guest Relations is Christos who works on Grandeur. I really don't have that many questions or problems. He and Olivia just go out of their way to make you feel at home on the ship.

My favorite employee was Julia Roberts (not the same one :)) from our Jewel cruise in '05. She was one of the Maitre D's in the Windjammer and made me and Mom feel sooooo welcome every night. RCI if your listening, she is definitely a keeper :p

My favorite on Adventure of the Seas (2-24-08) was Peter in the Strauss Dining Room. Also, Eric, the bartender.

Donna

Angela - bartender in Odessy Lounge (satellite CL) on the Brilliance is our number 1 pick!

Deborah Gorman definitely our favourite LA.

Kathy:)

My favourites:

Katherine, the concierge on Brilliance

Luis, the Maitre d of Chops on Brilliance

Alan, waiter in Chops on Brilliance

Dave, the Maitre d of Chops on Enchantment

Gerald, Cabin steward on Explorer

Naddy, Cabin Steward on Enchantment

Dindo, assistant waiter on Explorer

On Brilliance, it would be Danny the Lobby Bartender, aka Fish.

On our Grandeur repo from Baltimore to NOLA in 2006, it would our room attendant, Mr. T. Excellent service and a great guy!

On Jewel, Andrea was great in the CL. Five stars to her!

On Empress, the entire staff was outstanding!

We have had extremely good service from so many members of the RCCL crew on all of our cruises. We really wish we could remember more names. That is our fault. We were too busy having too much fun to remember those crew members. Sorry.

Rick and Deirdra

Another vote for Maritza, the concierge on Serenade. A lovely, personable woman who always goes out of her way to help her passengers.

CD - Richard Spacey - I Love this CD the best:D

Bartender - Adrian - Known as "Bad Ass" by RCCL staff:D

Wilma, Sr. Head Waitress, on the Explorer!!! Yaba daba dooooooooo!!

We have also loved Deborah Gorman, as Loyalty Ambassador. She's the only one we've ever had who really seemed to "do" her job. I always felt more like cruising with Royal Caribbean after spending time with her.

I thought Dexter, bartender on Radiance, was the best. I am not sure if he is still on Radiance but no other bartender has lived up to him.

Waiter on Mariner - Mauricio from Mexico

Waiter on AOS - Benjamin from Phillipines

We also thought Dennis Sciortino was an outstanding CD, even better than Becky.

And Capt Per on Mariner is so humble, and we loved that he walked around the ship interacting one-on-one with the passengers -- we were impressed with his interest in whether or not we were having a good time, and with his patience in answering our teenager's questions about the ship.

Good grief, how does one pick favorites, so many crew are wonderful!

We would have to second the vote for Trudy Julius --Monarch. She is by far one of our favorites.

My favorite cabin steward was Franklin on Sovereign

My favorite waiter was Balacz (Bally) on Grandeur

My favorite bar man was Leo in Schooner's on Majesty

My favorite head waiter was Gerald on Majesty

My favorite assistant waiter was Egland on Vision

My favorite cruise director was Richard Spacey on Freedom

and of course my favorite captain was Capt Nik formerly on Legend

I haven't been on RCI yet but my favorite steward was also "Franklin" but he was on Carnival Fantasy in Nov 2006. I wonder if it could be the same one. Our Franklin taught the towel folding class and we had the most wonderful towel animals. :)

Juicy Juice!!!!!....The best drink man around
