redhead621 Posted April 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I will be sailing on the Dawn to Bermuda on May 4, 2012. Does anyone just off the Dawn know if Virginia is still or will still be on the Dawn? Last September she was our Concierge and she was fantastic. I thought at that time she told us that she would be taking a vacation and then upon her return she would be on the Star. I have seen some posts that hint at her being on the Dawn.

redhead621 Posted April 8, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Virginia reboarded the Dawn on March 7. She is very good. Thank you for the good news. Now I have one more thing to look forward to on my cruise. If Gian is still the butler my week will be complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFO-F/A Posted April 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm another one who thinks Virginia is the BEST! :D Happy you will have her on your Dawn cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo24 Posted April 9, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2012 We had Virginia last year on the Dawn in August. She was great and I would not mine having her again in June when I go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricruise Posted April 9, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Have not had the pleasure with Virginia. How would she compare to Bruce for those who had met both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flnew2cruise Posted April 9, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I agree, Virginia is a great Concierge! She made a great cruise even better, and was happy to do anything she could. I hope to see her again on our Dawn Bermuda cruise next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topguy Posted April 17, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've had Karobi on the Jade and Virginia on the Dawn. Both were exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoTech Posted April 19, 2012 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Virginia is probably the best concierge we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We sailed on two separate cruises with her, more than a year apart, on two different ships, and when we boarded the second cruise and met her again she immediately remembered us - that truly amazed us, considering the hundreds and hundreds of guests she deals with in her job. She always goes out of her way to make sure your cruise is everything you want it to be. NCL is lucky to have her, and they'd better do whatever it takes to hang on to her.

familyof4cruising Posted April 19, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I agree...she is WONDERFUL! One of the best I have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvsnana Posted April 20, 2012 #13 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thank you for the good news. Now I have one more thing to look forward to on my cruise. If Gian is still the butler my week will be complete. Just got off the Dawn yesterday and it was a great cruise with Virginia as our Concierge! One of the best to be sure. Gian was indeed our Butler and he ranks at the top of our list. Hope you have a wonderful cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened with us, our very first cruise on the Sky she was our concierge, we were quite surprised to see her on the Star during the summer for our Alaska cruise, and even more surprised that she remembered us! Will be on the Dawn in 7 days and it will be nice to see her again, won't know what to do on a cruise if she isn't our concierge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhead621 Posted May 12, 2012 Author #16 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Had the pleasure of having Virginia last week. She will be going home for a vacation. I believe she said in June and will return in August. Gian, is leaving the Dawn and is headed to the Jade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateQ22003 Posted May 12, 2012 #17 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Have not had the pleasure with Virginia. How would she compare to Bruce for those who had met both? Bruce was the best concierge we have ever had the pleasure of traveling with. I miss him a lot. We found Virginia to be lacking; maybe because we were so spoiled by Bruce!

kruiserkatie Posted May 12, 2012 #18 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thank you for the update! We are sailing on June 1st and I am excited to sail with Virginia based on the postings above. Did she mention when in June she will be leaving and who her replacement could be? We sailed on the Dawn last year and were not pleased with our last concierge experience. We had sailed with Bruce on the Spirit...loved him! Also could you please share your embarkation experience? Time you arrived and any helpful hints..TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhead621 Posted May 12, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Virginia will be aboard until the end of June. Her replacement is going to be Karobi. Another bit of news....Paul Scally is no longer the CD. He was replaced with John, the assistant CD mid week during the cruise. Embarkation was a breeze. That being said, the traffic in the area around the pier was horrific. It may have had something to do with the fact that the previous passengers were delayed getting off. Heard a rumor that they had a few passengers that had a problem with either custom or immigration. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruiserkatie Posted May 12, 2012 #21 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Great! Counting the days until we depart! Reading every posting and review... The anticipation is almost as fun as the trip... Almost .. Heading off to join the roll call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
