infoqueen Posted July 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 19, 2011 hi all you dreamers with all the excitement of our cruise and the coming home stuff keep forgetting to ask did any of you notice that most of the staff appear to be male on this ship. does anyone know why? The spirit had quite a few female staff members including cabin staff. Is this unique to the dream? No sexist remarks please about men being better than women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rookery Posted July 20, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can't say as I noticed but we're on the Dream again in 3 weeks so no doubt it will be on my mind to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought that there were more women waiters during the day on the deck( were there only late afternoon), and in the evenings they were in showrestaurants. Our cabin steward was also a woman. What we noticed was that there wasn´t service staff from eastern europe, like the Spirit has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infoqueen Posted July 21, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted July 21, 2011 they all seemed to be male in the orion but there were some females in the ocean bar probably just felt like there were mostly men where we were and the fact that our cabin steward was male (Michael) same name as hubby. Staff mostly seemed to be phillipino think they picked the cream off the other ships for the dream one girl came from the destiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted July 21, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 21, 2011 On the Dream last year we had a wine waitress in the MDR, out cabin stewardess and lots of waiting staff. Dream is like Celebration and tends to use far eastern staff rather than eastern european. I think it is traditional for all restaurant waiting staff, including the buffet, to be male.

rookery Posted July 21, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Staff mostly seemed to be phillipino think they picked the cream off the other ships for the dream I noticed that. I imagine it was as a result of last years problems. We've always found the Phillipino's to be especially good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted July 22, 2011 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I read somewhere how it worked on Celebration, and I presume Dream Bar staff were Philipino, Hotel staff Indonesian, Restaurant Philipino, Crew Malaysian, Officers european, Entertainment team international, Security Nepal? The idea is as each department is mostly one nationality it helps them gel together and feel happier. Apparently Thomson were the first company to try this? Dream/Celebration have different crew agents than the other ships and a waitress on Celebration told me that they can build up a reputation with their agent but if they change agents they have to start again!
