davesgirl51 Posted March 18, 2017 #276 Share Posted March 18, 2017 You make some very good points that I had not considered. I think that personality differences can also alter our perceptions of others. We all know that not everyone "clicks" with everyone else. I have had HD's that I did not care for, even though I knew that they did an excellent job. I have loved and respected nearly every officer and crew member that I have met on all of our 20 some NCL cruises though. I am American, and I also appreciate all of the services offered, no matter how small. Judy Ditto Judy. 100% agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davesgirl51 Posted March 18, 2017 #278 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Hi, We leave on the STAR in 9 days and I have heard that Hano will be our concierge. I have also heard that he is a rather tall German man and that he is very nice. Can anyone tell me anything else about Hano or other officers who are on the STAR right now? Thanks so much. Judy Judy, Hanno is tall and is German and is very kind. He may appear shy but I think that is more the language than anything else. When I buried my husband at sea off the Star, Hugo's last cruise, Hanno snuck in behind me at the dispersal sight, which midst all the lines was beautifully 'decorated', and unbeknownst to me took my iPad from the GSC and behind me with his tall 6'+ frame, took a video of the ash dispersal and rose throwing. I was so very touched and then the Internet Manager was able to take that video apart frame by frame so that I was able to pick out a few individual pictures to add to the albums which I prepared for my children along with a Tbs of the ashes in a vintage enameled pillbox container. Kindness, in general, begets kindness. Love makes the world go 'round. Trite but true. Have fun on your trip ! Cinci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casofilia Posted March 27, 2017 #299 Share Posted March 27, 2017 How long do they go on vacation for ? Do they always return to the same ship? Depends on how long they have been working but 2 months is not uncommon. Not necessarily, it depends on whether they want to and/or if their replacement is "permanent". It also depends if they have applied for a position on another ship, often by promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
