Little Nell Posted March 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Nanita was one of my favourites on the Majesty last year. She is a terrific waitress and became a friend onboard. How's she doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well_cool Posted March 18, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the info. Did you happen to notice if the 'Beer Bonanza' package (35 pints for £79.95) was available on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodafountain Posted March 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi, See you have got a bar list, i'm sure there will be lots of questions about what is and isn't included on AI on it, but could you advise (as the answer to this question will point us in the right direction for what they have done) if there is a supplement for cans on AI (90p i believe on the new menus on Celebration and Dream, but free on the Majesty still operating from teh old menu - at the moment), as this will let us know which direction they have gone.

Cheers the bar list is still the same as last year as far as i can recall, cans still free on AI ,biggest differance is the beer, still cans, but not boddingtons now john smiths and 500ml rather than 440ml so nearer to a pint. also the house wine is still that very drinkable one (certainly the rose) not like the near vinegar they were serving on celebration in jan. ps:the beer in the menu still says boddingtons 440ml so im sure they are last years menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flopsy Posted March 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Oh thankyou- I love it when you quote the names of the staff- brings back thoughts of lots of familiar smiling faces.:p I usually make a note of the names of a few staff in the back of my diary as it is so hard to remember names after a few months- I just have to remember to transfer the information to my new diary ready for the next cruise.

infoqueen Posted March 19, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Its fascinating just think if they could bottle it and sell it to us failing memory because im getting older types on here they would make a fortune. I would certainly buy a bottle beacause I certainly need it. Now where am I oh yes at work, time to go home. Two I will always remember from spirit are spiky and Brian.

FIFE1 Posted March 19, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Brian was well and working on the Majesty last year, he was heading home to Mumbai end of October. We have not heard if he is back this year, I am sure someone said last year Spikey failed his medical. Also Adrian, Johnny, Conrad and Domingo all well and on the Majesty last year. Happy Days.:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
