toledo Posted January 21, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'd like to find a good waiter and try to stick with him throughout the cruise, as we'll be eating most of our meals in the main dining rooms. I see a lot of complaints, but I hope someone remembers a waiter they liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SliceOfLife Posted January 21, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The waiters all rotate dining areas so you would not be able to stick to one person. I remember seeing one waiter in the MDR one night and then O'Sheehans another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdmike Posted January 21, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 21, 2013 But I WANT the same waiter. The waiters move from restaurant to restaurant, and also to room service. If you find a waiter you like on the first night you might ask where they will be the next day and follow them if it's that important to you. I would say, however, that I didn't have a bad waiter experience on either of my NCL cruises. If having the same waiter each night is important to you I would suggest cancelling your NCL cruise and booking with another line. On Disney your waiter follows you from restaurant to restaurant (there is, or used to be, a restaurant rotation for pax) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapoho2 Posted January 21, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Perhaps, NCL is not the cruise line for you. Just about any other cruise line can offer you the same waiter every night. You will have to make a choice. The fact that each night is different is exactly what keeps us coming back to NCL.....see my signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin&Relaxin Posted January 21, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 21, 2013 But I WANT the same waiter. Then NCL is NOT for you if you are hard over on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo Posted January 21, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I know I've read threads where people have requested the same waiter, but yes, you would have to know where he would be working each night. I was going to try this, but maybe it's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbgd Posted January 21, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2013 We prefer to have the same waiter every ngiht as well On POA we could have that choice if we wanted to wait but that doesnt happen on the Epic One night in Taste while the waiter was reaching halfway across the table to grab an empty plate he spilled and broke a glass. Now if he had walked around the table he wouldnt have been reaching and the glass probably wouldnt have broken;) Im so glad we didnt have him again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try this, but maybe it's not possible. Even if you could figure some way of determining where the waiter will be in advance, he/she could be pulled at the last minute to work some other restaurant that needs extra help. He/she could even be pulled to another restaurant during your meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debnjoe1438 Posted January 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If a waitress named Raluca is still on the ship ask for her. Last year she was in the Manhattan room most of the time. When DH and I discovered her on the Epic, we stayed with her. (We had previously encountered her great service on the Jewel a couple years before) Not real sure if I spelled her name correctly. She is from Romania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
