heatherb1958 Posted April 4, 2012 #501 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hiya We are off on the Indy in a weeks time. Just wondered if there was any feedback on Raj in the CL. I am sure he will be fab but just wondered if anyone just off her. Thanks :):) Just got off the same cruise as PAFC ( Brian ), Raj is very helpful, very pro-active but one thing you may want to be aware of he is huge on giving all the ladies hugs and kisses when he greets you. I am okay with that as I am a hugger myself :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trolleydolly Posted April 5, 2012 #503 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks guys. That's good to know. I am a hugger too. Not too sure if my husband would appreciate the hugs and kisses though!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praline3001 Posted April 5, 2012 #504 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I am hoping someone in this thread can help me with my question. My family is booked in the Owner's suite on the Allure. I have tried making reservations for Chops and Geo's table. They are completely booked for the time I need the entire cruise. I need a before 7pm time as my daughter is 11. I also can't make reservations for several of our nights using the MTD as they are booked as well. Does anyone know if concierge holds reservations to the side for suite guest? I know my booking information states that concierge will help with our dining but I am not sure if I can get in with everything booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As suite guests hopefully your Concierge will be able to pull some strings. I find it hard to believe that you couldn't book the dinner reservations for the time you have requested. Contact your Allure Concierge ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB Cruiser Posted April 5, 2012 #506 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Can anyone tell me how to contact via email the Concierge for Freedom? I will be sailing on May 27th. Thanks in advance! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Cruiser Posted April 5, 2012 #508 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thanks Puffinater!!! Sorry I did'nt look back. Pretty busy at work these days and don't get on much. Knew someone here would lead me in the right direction. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe that you couldn't book the dinner reservations for the time you have requested. Contact your Allure Concierge ASAP. I emailed them our dining request but its still a bit far as we don't leave for another 52 days. I am sure as it gets closer I will need to email them again. I just asked if they hold ressies or not to get a feel on my chances of eating. :rolleyes: The biggest problem for us is my 11 year old daughter. She does appreciate good food and is very well mannered and has been going to nicer, upscale places most of her life. I do understand the 7pm rule and I totally agree with it and am trying to follow it. It makes it extremely difficult when everything is booked. She would be heartbroken to be left behind in the "daycare" area. We had the same issue with the flowrider lesson. My 15 year old wanted to do the class but it was booked except for 1 "at port" day. They cancelled the adventure we had booked. It was only the Bahamas and we have been there before. We opted to do the class and stay on the ship for that port day. I am hoping they release more bookings when we board. Either that or concierge can wave their magic wand and get us food :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people on my March cruise had the concierge make their reservations for them, and they had no problem getting what they wanted.

barbie5401 Posted April 6, 2012 #511 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just a Diamond Plus Member, not staying in a suite, however, I contacted via email, a request to the Conceirge on the OASIS, when USUALLY do they respond, or don't they. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted April 6, 2012 #512 Share Posted April 6, 2012 News for all Luca fans! I emailed Luca yesterday asking if he was planning to be onboard Mariner when she returns to Galveston next Nov. and for her entire schedule there. He answered me today that, yes, he plans to be on Mariner out of Galveston when she returns. That is great news to me. Luca is a real gem. I know he is from Rome, so I had assumed he would be taking his vacation after the May TA and hoped he'd be returning before her fall TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that you cruised on Independence a lot: we meet Ricardo on Independence on 2009, and then on Oasis in Jan 2010!!! We love the Indie, and we try to cruise on her when Captain Remo and wife Tove are onboard!!! It was already posted while back: Ricardo is now on Navigator; left Oasis Apr 7; went home to Panama and boarded the NAV yesterday; got an e-mail from him, this morning!!!
