Rare graphicguy Posted September 17, 2019 #276 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Have had Elvina, Virginia, Anoop and Adrian, as my concierges in the Haven. All were outstanding. And, the best I’ve ever had....even including Hotel and Resort Concierges. NCL does an excellent job of recruiting, promoting and training their Concierges.

Still TBD who replaces him. Patrick is AHHH-MAZING! I had him as my concierge, also. Besides managing to get me all the restaurant times I wanted, he got me into shows early (right up front!), and saw me off the ship personally. Love that guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do folks need to know this? Especially for the crew? What difference does who is Captain make? Especially on ships that have over 4000 passengers? Are you assuming that the people onboard really know you? Of course they will act like they do but honestly, 4000 people every week, you are not special enough to be remembered LOL Agree,100 percent.

Marie3933 Posted September 18, 2019 #285 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I actually stay in contact with some of the crew when I'm not sailing so yes, some of them do know me. However, I usually don't need to send out requests for info as to who is onboard b/c I already know as far as the ones who matter to me are concerned. I imagine people ask because there are certain crew members who really make their cruise special and they hope to see them onboard. I personally do not believe there is anything wrong with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dream team is not broken up - its now on HAL. He must have his reasons but I suspect that Musti and Errol are so happy would have played a great part in his decision process. HAL have actually got the best bar manager around now. So for us its HAL from now on to carry on the story. Tried it this summer and loved it.
