SUN butlers

[gcjstri]

Hi There, I will be on the Sun April 8th thru the 15th with my DH in an AC Suite #9076 and was wondering if anyone knows who our Butler will be and if so if they know how this Butler is. We had a Butler on our last cruise the Star Oct 05 and he was awful, his name was Arnie.

Thanks for any help with this

we were in 9076 3/3-11 had 2 butlers Henry & Rommel met one of them the first day and pretipped him ....then #2 showed up later lol we did get towel animals i think 3 days did not ask much of the butlers (no meals served in suite etc) had to get our own ice a few times, once nicely assisted by a fellow cruise critic member :) We got ice each day, it's just that we had a lot of visitors so went through it. The big ice storage place is down the hall next to the elevators but there's also usually ice on the "cleaning card"- Teracita is the stewardess, she is a doll very very hard worker 9076 is a wonderful suite - you will really enjoy it. Has an amazing sound system so bring some of your own cd's if you like music.

Have a great trip!

We were in Cabin 9202 and we had Rommel and Henry. They were okay and did their job. I have read alot of other reviews from others on other ships where their Butlers were outstanding and went above and beyond. I would say our butlers were outststanding.

We met Both Rommel and Henry on the day we ordered breakfast. I personally think they should have come by prior to that to introduce themselves. Our Room stewards were far more friendly. Their names were Roberto and Alicia.

 

As for pre-tipping. I did read that giving them Phone card gift is a nice gesture. I may do that on my next cruise. Not sure how that works for us buying them in Canada. Never used one before so this would be new to me

I will be in the Sky Suite, 8203 starting next Saturday the 1st of April. I will advise my butler etc. once I return. It may not be the same but I will ask who will be the butler(s) on the 9th deck.

 

I plan on tipping early to grease the wheels a bit. Although I don't feel that it should be necessary, it may help out for the week.

 

Look for my Sun report when I return on the 9th of April.
