susanrobert Posted February 24, 2013 #1482 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just checked your list and......yay! No Free Willie for me!! Although, it just won't be the same without the singing! ;) We sail 4/14 on the Freedom. Will we have Willie? Is he not good? Last year we sailed on the Explorer and had Mario. He was wonderful. You've got me nervous!!::eek: Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenfever Posted February 24, 2013 #1485 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think Willie is excellent....always has been for us anyway. I agree. Have known Willie since he was the Concierge on Radiance and he hasn't changed at all. He is one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted February 24, 2013 #1487 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I agree. Have known Willie since he was the Concierge on Radiance and he hasn't changed at all. He is one of the best. Us too from Radiance. He has got to be one of the most experienced because that was eons ago! He replaced Brett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted February 24, 2013 #1489 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I believe Brett Goad was the first concierge on Radiance. He quit early on and I'm pretty sure Willie was the original replacement. Will have to ask him next time we see him. We usually do Freedom every fall at the same time but seem to miss Willie 50% of the time. Rahul and Amit (Freedom) were excellent too but now they have gone to other environs.

PH8 Posted February 24, 2013 Author #1490 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's all a matter of opinion.......when I cruised with Shar,Robyn and some other friends,he was not the most personable one..............well,unless you were in a suite.....he really didn't want any DP in his lounge and basically told us so........

Interesting.....we always go to the Diamond lounge because we like the room better. Last year Willie was on vacation and Marcello generously welcomed everyone and made it a point to speak with everyone in the lounge every night. Unfortunately, I can't remember any farther back than that except that the year before Willie was there but may have been Suite/D+ concierge:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted February 25, 2013 #1497 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I just got an 3-mail from a Sebastian Henter saying he will be concierge on our Mariner cruise next week. Does anyone know what happened to Luca? I received Luca's answer to my e-mail just last week. And he told me in Dec. that he would be on Mariner until she went to Asia. I am so disappointed that Luca is not currently on Mariner. I hope nothing serious happened, but am concerned since I know he planned on being on MOS for some time yet.

RosieRoo Posted February 25, 2013 #1498 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'll bet that Willie is not the only Concierge that only likes to cater to "suite" guests. We got the same feeling from the Concierge on Liberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpress Posted February 25, 2013 #1499 Share Posted February 25, 2013 We got the same feeling from the Concierge on Liberty. We are going on Navigator in May. We are diamond plus members and we have earned our entry into the Concierge lounge. We have been in balcony stateroom, junior suite and owner's suite. Nothing fazes us. Just go for it.

louv2000 Posted February 25, 2013 #1500 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Glad we're not the only ones. We were in a suite on FOS in December and didn't like Willie one bit. He had a major attitude. I had to call guest services on our return to get credits applied that he never bothered following thru on despite a number of reminders on our part. He seemed snobby and lazy. We had Carolina in the Diamond lounge on Oasis this month and she was terrific.
