Mary Ellen1 Posted October 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just wondering if there's anyway to send a crew member something for their Birthday from the Carnival website? Probably not... I've not tried that exact thing, but I've sent a gift to a passenger before, and the shopping cart asks for the guest's name and sailing date. So I really don't see how you could send something to a crew member through that system. Their name wouldn't show up -- only passengers. There must be a way to mail or ship a package, though. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nydney1 Posted October 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We bought one of the entertainment staff a bottle of Whisky from the gift shop and gave it to her the last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNUZULOOSE Posted October 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Wow! I would have never of thought of something from BVE. That is a great idea. Or to bad if you knew what kind of places they like shopping on the islands, you could give them a gift card. I know they have to shop for personal items as well.

DevCruise Posted October 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I wonder if you called if they could do an order that way? Business Hours 8:00am-12:00am EST Monday through Sunday 800 522-7648 / Extension 70039 If that doesn't work, I'd contact John Heald through his Facebook page, I bet he could make it happen.

SadieN Posted March 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Could always write a commendation letter. That goes a long way towards their seniority and ability to negotiate their next contract. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Exactly! The best thing you can do for a crew member other than extra cash is a letter to the head office about how wonderful they treated you. Nothing better than Kudo's from customers. That helps them move up into another area of the ship. I am sure they would rather not be a steward for the rest of their life.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Sadie, this is a great idea. The crew have very little living space, they can buy booze cheap on the ship, and remember they are there to make a living.

mapsmith Posted March 10, 2016 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Sometimes a good word to their superior is also well appreciated. On our last Cruise, one of the Assistant Waiters, Tobing, was very very good. Much better than his Lead or the other Assistant Waiter. I made it a point to seek out the Maitre d' and let him know how much we appreciated Tobing. The Maitre D' let me know that just that day he had promoted him. Running my own business, I appreciate when customers let me know how well my employees do. And I show it to the Employees. If you get really good service from a crew member. Mention it in post cruise surveys, but also find their boss on the ship and let them know too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
