ZephyrQ Posted July 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2019 We have friends who are sommeliers and know the process that they went through to receive their level certifications. Am curious to know, what's the process for the sommeliers that are on board Celebrity's ships? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanguy Posted July 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2019 My experiences with the "sommeliers " have been mixed. Like most staff in all dining rooms they are rushed off their feet. Once upon a time.........reduced staff..blah blah...no interaction..blah.... Ask for a wine list...see the look of panic ....it`s the usual "white or red?".. I think the main qualification for a Celebrity "sommelier" would be the ability to roller skate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogfog Posted July 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2019 FWIW @ZephyrQ We have had a TERRIBLE and RUDE wine "steward" in BLU on Infinity When I asked for specifically a white .. the wine guy was not only not helpful--he was rude because I "didn't take his wine pairing" In fact--another couple in BLU heard him and complained to the M'D about this wine guy I doubt that most of the wine stewards have any sommelier credential From what we saw of the menus--the wines suggested are likely corp/whats been purchased Will be interested to see if she comes back to this board to post. So far I haven't seen any responses on any of the threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Lutoff-Perlo Posted August 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Hello! We are always in search of the most qualified and talented team members for every department on-board. In additional to any prior certifications, our sommeliers also go through additional training with our team to ensure they are familiar with our extensive wine selection and techniques. Thank you and have a great rest of your day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
