Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted April 11 #3 Share Posted April 11 Looking forward to your review. I was originally looking at this sailing just for a cruise, but opted for a road trip to Canada. Enjoy your sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedbearz Posted April 13 #6 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Anyone from the prior sailing notice the distinct aroma from the Deck 15 corridor right near the observation lounge entry? Smells like a barn. 🐎💩 Edited April 13 by tedbearz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lktrimbell5447 Posted April 14 Author #11 Share Posted April 14 Apologies to all! I erroneously and egregious made an error and posted this with a "typo" of 2014 RATHER THAN 2024 which is the Cruise date we are on Sunday, April 14,through Sunday, April 21, 2024. Perhaps, it,was a "Back to the future" slip? Lesson learned check your posts. Errors are unforgiving and uncorrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedbearz Posted April 15 #14 Share Posted April 15 Anyone know the name of the Washy-washy guy in the Buffet who sings? There are several but one was really good and stood out. Want to acknowledge him in the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have chatted with him on several cruises and on our cruise a couple of weeks ago, he sent chocolate strawberries to our cabin! Who knew the washy-washy guy could do that?!

He was the washy-washy guy on our Joy cruise AND our drink server in Teppanyaki. Really great soul and excellent server - I was awash in drinks the entire night!

That smell would have taken me right back home to our barn. Ahhh, familiar smells bring back such fond memories.

(I don’t remember his real name, he asked us to call him Mr. X 😃). We had no problem getting an extra lobster tail at any dinner. My DH had three one night. Never a mention of an extra charge and none appeared on our bill, 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had a vigorous debate with my wife about this. All our letters list Efren Acesor as concierge. We dealt with Mr. X almost exclusively, and he was awesome! The impression I had, though, was that he was an assistant concierge. I'm not sure that we ever met Efren unless he and Mr. X are one and the same.

I’m pretty sure they are two different people, but I’m not sure which is the assistant, I need to pay closer attention to detail. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitzel Posted April 28 #24 Share Posted April 28 Efran was the concierge, Mr. X was the assistant concierge (or similar). We dealt with both of them and thought they were both very helpful and personable. Mr. X gives everyone high 5's when they pass his desk. Mr. X has been on the Joy since it first launched in China in 2017, though he mentioned that he will be transferring ships later this year, as he is one of the few concierges who is fluent in Mandarin and his skills will be needed elsewhere. Unfortunately, I don't remember the details about the timing or his new assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
