Your favorite waiter : name and ship

[OGCFreddie]

My choice would have to be Durmus Okan who was on the Freedom. He's from Turkey and was an excellant and entertaining addition to the wait staff. Always smiling...always friendly. Now he's on the Oasis.

Carolina from Columbia on Voyager Jan 2010

Our favorite waiter and asst. waiter were Sigit and Yigit (I kid you not ;)) on the Liberty of the Seas! I would've adopted Yigit and brought him home with me if I could've...he was just TOO cute! :)

Ramish from India and his assistant, also from India, were wonderful on our Sept cruise. Ramish was our waiter on the Serenade in 09 with assistant, now waiter, Dennis, also from India...

We have had many great waiters though the years, but these were very special.

The only waiter I ever remember by name was on my first cruise in '92... Monarch of the Seas...( a year old at the time) Izzy from Turkey. The first night after dinner I put my lipstick on...every night he came over after dinner and insisted that he put my lipstick on for me...I have pictures of him doing it on the last night....

 

...

That sounds a little bit creepy, to be honest !

Bennett (Strawberry) from Jamaica on Freedom. He would bring out one of everything for my DS to try. He was the best we have had yet!:)

Just home from five day cruise on JOS. Our waiter was Lino from India and his assistant was Denisse from Peru. They worked so well together. Denisse was right on top of everything - refilling water glasses, pouring wine, clearing table. She was tops.

[goouchjac]

Our favorite waiter of all our cruises so far was Juan,,,was our cruise on Celebrity's Summitt,,,Dec.2003...He was really tops...:D:D

We had a waiter on the Oasis last February. He was great. Spoiled all of us for 7 days. We had a hard time understanding what he saidattimes, but we managed. When he laughed we laughed. I can't remember his name though. He remembered all of our names from the first night. We were a table of 12. Very impressive guy. He was hilarious. If I can think of his name I will write again on this thread.

On Radiance of the Seas to Alaska, May 2010...Agnelo (waiter) and Joao (assistant waiter).

 

My friend and I were assigned to a table for 6. On the first night only one other couple showed up; after that we never saw them again! Both Joao and Aggie went out of their way at every meal to make sure we didn't feel awkward. And, as with most wait staff I've encountered, they seemed to know our likes and dislikes after only one meal.

 

Joao also worked in the Windjammer for lunch. My friend and I both used mobility scooters and he was always there to carry trays and fetch drinks for us.

 

Without a doubt, they were the best you could ask for!

Mauricio from Cancun, MX on Mariner is exceptional. A true gentleman, and the most service-oriented waiter we've ever had on any ship on any line!

[lady_cruiser]

Our favorite waiter is Harry from the Philippines and his assistant Noel. They are on The Voyager and we have had them four of our five times on her. We hope to have them again on our next cruise next month.

[Scotty G]

Bruno on The Jewel of the Seas. Alvin as best assistant also on the Jewel!!!!

[dagored]

On the Oasis Jing was our waitress and Laszlo her assistant, what a great team. Excellent!!!!

[RCI_FADM_76]

Our hands down favorite was the impeccable combo of Richard and Camillo on Mariner.

[jty1220]

By far the best waiter and staff member I have ever met is Sabit from Macedonia. We first had him on Independence and then again on Oasis. We have kept in touch with him and he is now on Allure. He is the most kind hearted, and funny person I have ever met on a cruise

On Majesty January 2011 Nephtale from the Philippines (waiter) and Travaic (assistant waiter) were so fantastic!! Virgilio (from the Philippines) in the Windjammer was awesome, too.

[Traveling Library]

Waiter: Manoj and Assistant Waiter: Anna in MTD on Independence in June 2011. A+. Early in the cruise most at our table mentioned ordering the curry dish. Manoj said "Don't. I have something better" and arrived that night and every night with special curry dishes that were off the menu. That's what we call service.

We had the best wait staff EVER on Explorer a couple of weeks ago--Jaffar from Tunisia and Marlon from the Philippines. If you ever run into Marlon, ask him to do his Ricky Martin impression. He's a hoot. The service was excellent, they doted on our granddaughter, and truly conveyed that they DO find pleasure in providing service to others. Two fabulous guys.

 

We had Jaffar on our Explorer cruise in 2002 and agree that he was awesome! (he looks like Derek Jeter) I wonder if he is still aboard? We'll be on Explorer in 3 days, nearly 10 years later!

My favoritie waiter/waitress is hands down, Tatyana on the Allure of the Seas in the My Time Dining Room. She was wonderful and so personable. Her assistant (cannot remember her name) was on the ball, knew what we liked to drink and had it at our table minutes after we sat down.

[CarnivalDream4]

Here are my favorites: for waiter, Luis Antao from the Carnival Dream (March 2016), and for assistant waiter, Pande Wibawa from the Radiance of the Seas (August/September 2016).
