CindyAlaska04 Posted July 27, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2004 We just got upgraded to a AB Penthouse on the Star and was wondering what a Butler does exactly?? We are just normal hard working Americans that have never had a Butler! :D Also, does anyone know what the amenities are of being in an AB category suite? Thanks!!!

orcatek Posted July 27, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Check out my review for details on the cabin. The butler will bring you meals, set them up etc, do small errands. Clear your dishes at the end of your meal. You will love your cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyinVail Posted July 28, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2004 the butler will return towels, dvd's, library books and anything else you may have, he'll also sort your laundry for the "laundry bag day". He'll bring food from any restaurant you choose. You will adore the AB suite, such luxury - it will be hard to cruise any other way. Make sure to tip your butler and concierge separately, as they are NOT included in the auto grat. Have fun and enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyAlaska04 Posted July 28, 2004 Author #6 Share Posted July 28, 2004 AmyinVail, Thanks for the "tips"! I will definately tip them both. I am sooo excited about the cabin, the best I have had in the past was a window view. We leave in 12 days!!:p :p :p Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeconk Posted July 28, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 28, 2004 According to Tim Curry, who played Wadsworth the Butler in the movie Clue (from the 80's): "I buttle sir." (love that movie...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alexMD Posted July 28, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2004 What is the source of the amenities listed above? Is that something that NCL has published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules1 Posted July 28, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2004 The source was another cruise critic member who obtained the list from her travel agent. We're sailing in category AA Owner's Suite this Sat on the Wind - I called NCL to ask about the amenities and they do vary ship to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karfest Posted July 28, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 28, 2004 We were in an AA on the Dawn Princess. They also had an impressive list of perks. The list was impressive- the reality wasn't. Our steward hadn't heard of some of the things listed, such as packing and unpacking service. We were to have a private portrait sitting, the photographers knew nothing about this. Access to the "elite lounge" for debarkation became a joke as we didn't have the right color card to be let in. If they hadn't offered these services, I never would have asked for them. Don't offer what you can't deliver. Most of these amenities on NCL look pretty easy for them to handle, but I will be shocked if I get a warm face towel at embarkation! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
