Concierges and butlers…where are they now?

[FLcruisergrl]

As cruising starts back up, I’m wondering where some of my favorites are. Thought I would start a thread where we could post who is on what ship. I’m curious where Hanno, Gian, Rodwin, and Jane are. We never actually got to cruise with Jane, but she was to be our last butler on the March 13, 2020 cruise on the Sun that got shut down just before sailing. I could tell in the  hour we spent with her that she was going to be excellent. Anyone know if they are still with NCL and on what ships?

Omar is on the Epic?

My favorite Mixologist, Sefano, won't be on my cruise. But I'm also in touch with him, so that's why I know. What I want to know is who's tending Breakaways bar in the Haven?!!! I hope they have an amazing Mixologist again. I was spoiled last time. 😉

We loved Hanno on our Nov ‘19 PC cruise.  I was hoping he would be on our Dec ‘21 Escape.😔

I've never sailed with Hanno, what did you love about him?

It would be impossible to miss Hanno.  He stands about 6' 5" or so.  Sparkling eyes.  Really sweet.  He boards The Bliss when they dock in LA on the 6th of October.

As 3Traveler said…He’s hard to miss!  On our PC cruise, when he found out that the day we were transiting the Canal was my daughter’s birthday. He made sure to have the photographer that was on shore take pics of my daughter on the front balcony and then gave her a lovely momento folder with her pic on one side and the Bliss going through the Canal on the other.

Monica Fotache is on the Breakaway as concierge. Many know Jennifer the butler, she is on the Escape.

This is such a valuable thread.  I am bumping it to get more people to add to it, and some time in the next week,  I will put together a chart that people can update with all then ships and names

Omar the concierge is now on getaway

 

So excited as we sailed on the Epic in October when he was there and found out last week when he returned from his break, a last minute change means he is on the same ship we are sailing on Sunday

Last information I had for Hanno is that he is still in Germany, do not know if at some point he will return.

Anyone know who the current concierge on the Escape is?

Last time we were on Escape was Sept 2018 and it was Patrick. He was great!

We sail March 26 and curious who it is now.

Thanks 😊

Jennifer was our butler on the Escape last week. She was superb. Went out of her way to help us and was so nice. 

David, as previously noted, is the concierge and was excellent.

The whole staff in the Haven on Escape was fantastic.

The Haven Restaurant staff especially.

QUESTIONS

About how many rooms does a butler take care of?  It would make sense to me that there are more than one for the Haven suites;  is that the case?

Last week our butler Jeffery took care of all the forward facing cabins so I think that was 12 over 6 decks. This week he ls looking after all the aft facing ones so there be 2 extra. They rotate every cruise round certain types of cabins so that it is fair. So I'm guessing they will also do one side of a deck in the haven and so forth
