Favourite Waiter

[Airbear232]

I thought it’d be nice to acknowledge some of the great people who make our cruises memorable experiences.  So, do you have a favourite waiter.  If so, who are they and why are they your favourite.

 

For me and my family, ours is a man who goes by “G”.  Whose name is Gopakumar Viswanathan.  We first had “G” on our first Royal Caribbean cruise for Xmas and New Years on the Explorer of the Seas in 2009.  We had cruised with Princess prior to this and had had good experiences.  “G” , however, set the bar so ridiculously high that we have measured everyone against him.

 

Why was he so good?  Superior congeniality, superior customer service, and an inhuman ability to anticipate everything you’d like.  This first cruise was with my DW and DS.  We subsequently went back on EOS two more times with extended family and made a point of requesting “G.”  He was so good and gave a level of service as good as you’d get at Ritz-Carlton.  He was the reason why we kept coming back to Royal over other lines. Over the years, we’ve had many great waiters but none have completely measured up to “G.”

My fave is Niel Gumabon.  I met him on a B2B on Allure last fall, and requested him for my second week as well.  Then I requested him on Symphony this spring.  

Absolutely amazing service, above and beyond.

I'm bummed that he won't still be on Symphony when I'm on her in two months, but that just means I'll have to book another cruise sometime!  LOL
