amphoto Posted February 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Tell me about any of your favorite Princess staff members that you have met over the years & post pictures if you can. It can be any staff member at all from bar staff, waiters, cabin stewards, entertainment staff, comedians, singers etc etc. This is Cruise Director Fernando from Brazil. Last saw him in May 2019 on the Star. Hopefully all of the staff members are doing well and we can see them all again soon!

Thrak Posted February 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2021 (edited) Christopher Ocampo: Wine server/IC. Sea Princess 2011 Faye: Favorite server to date. Coral Princess 2015 Noel: Bar server. Emerald Princess 2017. I "adopted" this guy as my son for 28 days. Hope he goes far in life. What a great young man. Heads turned one evening when my wife walked into Club Fusion and he yelled out, "MOM!" and went over to give her a big hug. 😁 Chris (Best Bartender Ever) and his sidekick Darshan along with the bar manager. (Can't remember her name - (Maryanne?) - which peeves me - but she was great as well.) Emerald Princess 2017 I am vexed that I seem to have lost my pics of Milena Markovic. She was a truly wonderful young lady who was our "personal" bar server on two cruises. Emerald Princess 2017 and Emerald Princess 2019.

amphoto Posted February 21, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Our main waiter from the Amalfi dining room on the Star Princess in December 2019. Harold from the Philippines. Great guy, hope to see him again one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted February 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2021 My favorite captain was Ed Perrin. My favorite cruise director turned entertainment director is Ron Goldman; his professionalism and eye for talent are bar none. My favorite assistant cruise director turned cruise director is Dan Appleby, loved his sense of humor. My favorite cruise staffer turned cruise director is Matt O; no one could possibly have as much energy as him. Victoria Stevens was the most bubbly, energetic cruise staffer I encountered for years, but I haven’t heard or seen anything about her in years. Does anyone know if she still works for Princess? There are so many cruise staffers, room stewards, bartenders, chefs, and servers who have stood out over the years. I can’t remember their names, but I always fill out CRUISE cards for them onboard. I miss Princess crew! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thanks for starting this thread. I think we all are land locked and welcome any memories of our cruising days. I'm not an avid photographer, but am enjoying the look of happiness of others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, any cruise memories at this point are great. Thought it would be good to see if I recognized any names or pictures of other peoples favorite staff members! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Too many to name, had a wonderful Jnr Waiter on one cruise, not much of a waiter, but great fun, Joey, he was just a kid, but keen to learn. Ronaldo a waiter who each evening had a manic trick to show us. also a bar tender on Diamond, nearly a year later on Emerald we hear a voice, give the lady a Diet Coke too (she was getting a coffee) plenty of ice, no straw. He remembered her and my drink after all that time, Zoltan. Maragite, who would give me different virgin cocktail each day, that being virgin came down to a Diet Coke. A wonderful manager of the Pizza on Majestic who whenever he saw Mrs Gut out by herself would ask if I was OK, if I needed any physical assistance, and did she want him to send me something to eat. probably the ones that stand out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted February 22, 2021 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I don't have a picture but I'll give a shout out to Carmen in Vines on the Crown Princess. She is so friendly to everyone, knowledgeable about wine, and loves her job. We sailed with her for 31 days and then 2 1/2 years later we re-boarded the Crown and she remembered us and our names the first morning of the cruise when working as a barrista in the International Cafe. She even asked if my sister and brother-in-law were cruising with us (they had been on the first cruise)! As others have noted, over the years we've completed commendation cards and provided extra tips to recognize many Princess waiters and stewards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy she was promoted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt sure was one of the top CD's we have encountered. That is saying a lot since most of Princess' CD's are grade "A". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tak8 Posted February 23, 2021 #23 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Julia was wonderful at Sabatini's. She always had a smile in the morning. She was on our Caribbean Princess British Isles cruise, so enjoyed 13 days of friendly, excellent service. We were lucky to also have her for dinner service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgwest Posted February 23, 2021 #25 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Mary Grace. Club Class server on the CB in Nov/Dec 2018. Heard she moved to the Sky. We look for her the first time we enter the MDR on each new cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
