weedpindle Posted July 9, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) You do realize the crew rotates every so often, every 7-9 months give or take, at unknown dates, so those who may be on now or yesterday, may not be on tomorrow.

Yet many come back to the same ship for many contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I highly doubt that the entire staff of Vines will be replaced by the time I board later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if someone reports here they don't like a couple of employees there, are you going to cancel the cruise? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMGS247 Posted July 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Assuming it's the same girl (short, glasses, I believe from Romania) that was the primary face of Vines in May she's a sweetheart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdru Posted July 9, 2019 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Did they do a chocolate and wine tasting, or a Stammtisch Table, or any wine flights??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my wife and I were her favorite customers. not sure how we earned it, but she couldn't have been nicer to us. We did see her get a little annoyed when someone came up, asked for a menu, and made a somewhat rude remark to her about how the prices were too high as they left the menu behind and walked away. She didn't like that very much, but we didn't blame her lol, it was rude. I can only imagine what they have to put up with throughout a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tak8 Posted July 11, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 11, 2019 My last two cruises have been on the Caribbean Princess. Staff at Vines has been good to great both times. I didn't partake in an organized chocolate and wine pairing, but on both cruises I ordered the chocolate pairings. It was fun. Three different chocolates each paired with a different wine. I believe it was $15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted July 11, 2019 #16 Share Posted July 11, 2019 While not the most prolific cruisers around we have yet to find a Vines where the staff was other than very good. Sometimes absolutely excellent but never less than very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was only the group thing. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted July 14, 2019 #19 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Was on CB in Feb. There was one young lady and a young man. Did not pay attention to their names. They were both pleasant. Vines had a sushi set up one afternoon and then a chocolate set up another afternoon. Vines is a very active bar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
