Brillance Posted February 1, 2012 #276 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Mario, just sent me an e-mail, he indeed will be leaving for a well deserved vacation. He will be back the week before the T/A on 4/14/12. He will have a week to get ready for the mayhem of the T/A. Last year over 150 Diamond Plus and something like 450 Diamonds not to mention the 34 or 36 suites . Pretty wild but handled very well considering. A very seasoned bunch on this particular sailing. Mario is excellent at what he does and is an assest to RCCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PH8 Posted February 2, 2012 Author #277 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I heard Mario is actually signing-off the Liberty this Sat. 2/4. Oana will be stepping in at that time.

We were on the Liberty a few years ago and were very impressed with Mario. We can't wait to be able to see him once again.

I Church Posted February 2, 2012 #283 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I see that Francois (last name unknown) will be on the Serenade of the Seas in May 2012, when we are sailing from Barcelona to Turkey. I wish I knew what his last name is. Does anyone know? What kind of information can we get by e-mailing them, I have never done this before but am interested this time. It will be a 12 day cruise with a 4 day pre-cruise. Take care.... keep crusing Irene & Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLex Posted February 2, 2012 #284 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Can anyone comment on Luca's service on Mariner, please? Nadia is going to be a hard act to follow. And I have never heard of Luca before. I'd like to echo the question. We're sailing in a few weeks, have heard some (positive) feedback on Luca's service but would appreciate if any who see this and have sailed in the GS or above on Mariner since Luca returned could provide some comments, please. Thank you. VR, T Lex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea3PO Posted February 2, 2012 #285 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Irene & Miles, If memory serves, it's Francois Roux. Francois was the Concierge on our Serenade sailing last February (2011). We found him to be very pleasant and accomodating. We were in a GS and did receive an email from Francois prior to the cruise. Hope this helps. :) --Steve I see that Francois (last name unknown) will be on the Serenade of the Seas in May 2012, when we are sailing from Barcelona to Turkey. I wish I knew what his last name is.

I am a fan of Cappuccino and love the concierge lounge for that. Neither my husband or I drink, he is a diabetic and it interfers with my drugs. Once in awhile I will have a beer.

Luca did not provide good service to us, in fact, we stopped contacting him for things, and dealt directly with the Customer Service Manager and Head of Housekeeping when necessary. Nadia, on the other hand, was very professional and accommodating. Wonderful! YMMV TnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty G Posted February 3, 2012 #289 Share Posted February 3, 2012 i looked through the thread but she's a long one. forgive me if this has been stated already, but Amit told us last week he is leaving Freedom in a couple of weeks, and headed onto the Rhapsody. I am very happy for him as he will be much closer to home and his children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The father is white. The mother is his favorite sheep. He wishes he could be there with them. They will not end up as dinner in his sister's restaurant.

She will be going on vacation in March but will be returning in May. From her email it sounds like this is her permanent position. Steven got the position as a Guest Admin, so he is in charge of everything related to documentation and immigration. He will just be filling in when Juan Diego goes on vacation in the CL.
