noonan5 Posted August 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Met hunky on zuiderdam several years ago. Was amazed at his friendliness, great service, and uncanny ability to remember names. We were a group of ten and he never forgot names,details, who was with who etc. Truly a great asset for HAL. Believe he was also employee of the year in 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a group of ten and he never forgot names,details, who was with who etc. Truly a great asset for HAL. Believe he was also employee of the year in 2008 Yes, he is still with HAL, last I saw him was on Zuiderdam September 2011, BUT no longer going by Hunky Dory as he is now an Assistant dining Room Manager and working on promotion. He goes by his real name of Imam. I started a thread as soon as I got home with photos of him looking so galant in his MDR uniform:) http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1490311 And he still remembers everyone's names. I'd not seen him since May 2008 and as soon as he saw me he called me Miss Joanie!! Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyy Posted August 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Appreciate the update. Been a few years since we saw the "little rascal".Wonder how he does with names of people who don't age so well ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSue Posted August 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2012 He is so legendary. I've never met him, but a former student who has only been on one cruise still talks about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguarstyper Posted August 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2012 He was one of the best I've ever encountered. Such a great guy. Glad to hear he is doing well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rafinmd Posted August 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Joanie, When I click the link for the photo's in the thread you linked to, it just dumps me to the Top Cities Main Hosting page ?? Hopefully Joanie will get back later, but the link in that old thread is to Joanie's old web hosting site which gave her so many problems she moved to a new host. I'm not sure the Hunky Dory pictures are on the new site, but I bet Joanie will put them there and specify an updated link soon. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
