Viking Cruiser Posted October 12, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 12, 2012 We were on the Infinity in May 2011 and we had Chandru. He knew us by name and was very informative and did a fantastic job. We will be sailing on the Infinity on the 7th November, 2012 and would like to know who will be the Host/Hostess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick IL. Posted October 12, 2012 #28 Share Posted October 12, 2012 after 9 X cruises our favorite was Juliana on ML, she was wonderful to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1120 Posted October 12, 2012 #29 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Another vote for TiAnne. She was absolutely fabulous on our last cruise. As another poster mentioned about a different CC Hostess, TiAnne took time to stop and talk to you throughout the cruise and not just when you went to see her. I also have to say that Graeme is stellar. He is so energetic and his enthusiasm for the =X= brand is quite infectious. Then again, I don't think we've ever had a bad CC Host/ess. They are all fantastic and truly help to set =X= apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin336 Posted October 12, 2012 #30 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Another vote for Chandru. We felt he was exceptional & hope to cruise with him again. In fairness, we can say we have never experienced a bad host/hostess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasheils Posted October 12, 2012 #35 Share Posted October 12, 2012 We agree that we have never had a CC Host/ Hostess that we didn't like. Ti Anne stands out in our experience but we have also sailed with Juliana and Donna--both great also. So happy to see the good comments about Bruce Van der Meer. We sailed with him in August on the Millennium and he was outstanding. He really went over and above for us. We are looking forward to meeting Chandru on the Reflection in a few weeks!

CHEZMARYLOU Posted October 12, 2012 #37 Share Posted October 12, 2012 It is very difficult when they need to deal with the passenger who has a deep sense of entitlement. I witness one man yelling at one of the Hosts demanding to be seated with the Captain. I later saw the Host/Hostess and remarked that he must have had a rough time. The Host told me that they were brought close to tears. Said that this passenger was a very heavy cruiser on RCL and this was his first Celebrity cruise. The passenger was threatening to take complaints to the Miami office if he wasn't seated at the Captain's Table with the Captain. The Host eventually gave into the demand. At the time this Host was relatively new to the position and was afraid of losing the job. Since then the powers to be at Celebrity have made it clear that these demands should be refused by the Hosts and that they are to report any thdreats. several demanding passengers have been invited by Celebrity to take a vacation from cruising on their ships. We also observed this on a cruise a number of years ago. The passenger, a frequent RCI cruiser but 1st time on X, was demanding to know why his party was not dining with the Captain and who did he need to talk to to get what he wanted. His rant went on for a good 10 minutes. The CC hostess seemed pretty experienced dealing with this type of behavior and eventually got him out of her face by putting the invitations on Miami. Ironically we were invited to dine with the Captain on formal night and frequently came across this passenger who was complaining to anyone who would listen how badly he was treated.

Orator Posted October 12, 2012 #39 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Unfortunately I haven't cruised with Ti-Anne for some time. She is a very special person. I was on Century with her a few years ago when she was informed that she had just established the record for the highest guest ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teajak Posted October 12, 2012 #40 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Is he coming on board before or after the transatlantic.

I believe donna left the equinox on vacation/break and will join the millenium when she cruises to the far east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runnerswife Posted October 12, 2012 #44 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Our favorite is Graeme! Always happy, always smiling, and always lots of complements for everyone! We think very highly of Graeme - only disappointment is that he is leaving the Constellation before our 11/18 wine cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on Century with her a few years ago when she was informed that she had just established the record for the highest guest ratings. We had a very good experience with Ti-Ann prior to her becoming a Captain's Club Host - I believe she was in Guest Relations at the time. It was great seeing her the next time on the Century when she had just become a Host. We also really like Chandru and very much look forward to sailing with him again someday. I was looking forward to meeting Donna in a couple weeks on the Equinox - have heard such good things. Unfortunately it sounds like we will miss her.

Hernando Cruisers Posted October 13, 2012 #47 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Anyone now if Ti-Anne is still on the Infinity for the November Panama Canal cruises? She got off the Infinity on October 8th and started vacation. Just prior to leaving, she did not know which ship she will return to after vacation.
