rogerdm Posted July 25, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I am on the Constellation Nov 13 this year and on the Mercury for Thanksgiving for next year. Anyone have experience with butler service on these ships? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo's Mom Posted July 25, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Rogerdm...... Yes, I have sailed on the Mercury in a RS. (have we spoken about this already? ) :confused: Anyway.... our Butler on the Mercury was George...he was great! We just returned from the Summit last month....also had a RS..... and our Butler was not so good. This may have had to do with the fact that when we disembarked the ship....he also was disembarking and returning to his country after 9 months @ sea. We were his last sailing...and we felt that in his service. He was ok....just nothing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerdm Posted August 1, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I just want to know Your experience of the butlers on the RS Constellation and the RS Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocngypz Posted August 1, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 1, 2004 The service from butlers depends upon the individual butler. I've had wonderful butlers and I've had terrible butlers.. and on the same ship! There's no telling who will be working when you sail. Folks rotate on and off all the time.

Bruin Steve Posted August 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Ashwin, our Butler on the Summit, was outstanding...almost to the point of overkill...There seemed to be very little we had to do for ourselves...even open our cabin door...He even kept track of the comings and goings of our kids (who were in the next suite)...Actually, come to think of it, the kids got more use out of the butler than we did...they had him bringing them breakfast...and DVDs...and more... But, yeah, the guy was great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am gonna be positive and pray for wonderful butlers. I would assume the RS would get wonderful butlers or they would be re-assigned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oppgaard Posted August 1, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 1, 2004 We were on the Mercury in May in a Sky Suite on the Sky Deck on the port side. Our butler's name was Rasti and he was simply fantastic. Our cabin attendant was Virginia and her assistant was Marvin. The three of them proved to be a most hospitable team and made our cruise the most enjoyable of any.

ocngypz Posted August 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Sorry to say that I have had two terrible butlers.. both in Royal Suites. One sailing was Mercury.. and the other Galaxy. You just never know who you'll get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porterhouse Posted August 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Most butlers are very good but usually do more when requested. Its good to let your desires be known up front and modified everyday, if needed. Don't forget they usually have several suites to care for and the squeeky wheel gets the oil. Also, if the service is below par go to the Asst. Hotel Mgr. and explain it in a nice way. It will get corrected and you may get some extra bottles of wine.
