Iamthesea Posted October 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Not sure, but the Engrid was the sommelier in Luminae this last cruise to NE?Canada and she was excellent! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marie61 Posted October 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Having travelled at least once per year since 2011, I would say that there are no actual official sommeliers on Celebrity ships. Please tell me I am wrong. Look for the silver tasting cups around their necks. I had a fabulous sommelier in 2011 but have not see one since. What do you see?

Iamthesea Posted October 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We have seen both. Just because they don't wear the cups doesn't mean they are not "official." I think that the number of sommeliers have been cut back on the ships (cost savings) and just don't have the time to suggest, take orders, serve AND do the tastings. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkE Posted October 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Fernando was working in Blu on Oct.2 New England cruise fantastic service, great wine tasting he hosted with 140 guests. Great knowledge of wine and food pairings. Your glass will always be full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are definitely wrong...Eren was the main sommelier for the ship for the past couple years( 2014/2015) and we have known him since 2012 and we became friends, but I lost his email address when my laptop committed suicide. I was hoping he would be there again in November this year... Edited October 22, 2016 by existentialtraveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted October 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We had Eren twice, once on Summit in September last year and then again on Eclipse in March of this year, he had just transferred ships. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I don't know where he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was telling us of the wine tasting event and he really made you feel you wanted to go. :D Since we are not huge drinkers, we did not sign up.
