kcfoxy Posted March 24, 2015 #177 Share Posted March 24, 2015 No, but Alain is usually the HD.It would depend on his vacation schedule. He is wonderful. Anne Barbazza is also amazing. She is one of the best Group Service Coordinators with NCL. Judy That is wonderful to know. Thank you Judy! :) I know it is a Repositioning cruise, and sometimes that matters, in terms of moving from one base of operations to another. Hoping someone will have a firm, updated list for us soon...less than 4 weeks until Cruisin' :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Capt Favalos (sp?) should be there. We love him. He may be on vacation though. Aldo was Beverage Mgr the last time I looked. Love him too! Again, vacation could change that. Chef Burke was on another ship recently, but may be back on the Star. I think he was filling in. I don’t know who is Concierge. I am envious that you will be on the Star. I miss her!

txhomeschoolmom Posted March 24, 2015 #179 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Doubtful it will be the same officers and crew.Florentina is already gone. (LOVE HER!) Some will stay, but there are vacations and changes to other ships. There are so many wonderful NCL folks, you will not be disappointed.

OUgal Posted March 25, 2015 #186 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I was on the Jewel last week. I think he's only been on the ship for a couple weeks. He is very tall -- at least 6' 5". I had some issues with dinner reservations that he made for my family. I made a reservation for Teppanyaki several weeks before our cruise. When I got on board the ship, I asked Hanno to make other reservations for several restaurants. Long story short, my reservation for Teppanyaki was cancelled. In the end everything got worked out -- we got a new reservation for Teppanyaki and was able to eat at all the other restaurants we wanted. Hanno really went out of his way to make it up to us. He invited us for a tour of the bridge on the last day -- it was a really great experience. The captain was in a meeting during our tour and he stepped out to talk with our group and take photos with my family. I hope you have a great cruise, kdzkatz. You shouldn't have any problems, but if you do just be sure to let them know. Our butler was Erlindo -- he was wonderful. Spoiled us! I'm having withdraws this week without my 3:30 pm snack that he would always bring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our roll call is pretty darned active and many on there are in suites. lol...it is so difficult to adjust back to normal living....have to buy your food and cook it....no turn down service....sigh...it is fun to be so spoiled if even for a short time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious if they will still be there when we arrive. Does anyone have any experience with Hanno? Hi There! We were on the Jewel in February, a couple of weeks before Florentina headed off on vacation. She told us that she was very excited to return in May for the Alaska run. I am fairly certain that she said she was returning on the 14th, so my guess is that you will have Hanno for your cruise. We absolutely loved the Jewel, and were completely spoiled by the phenomenal staff! Have a wonderful time! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travel Junkie Judy Posted March 27, 2015 #192 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Anyone know who the Concierge is for the Epic Med sailing May 17 2015? TIA Hi, If he’s back by then (he should be), you will have my very, very, very favorite Concierge, David Contreras. He is amazing. I don’t know how he manages to always be smiling, always be there for everyone, and keep his sanity. He definitely goes way above and beyond. If he’s there, tell him that Judy wishes she were there!
