So this was my first cruise ever, and the experience was insanely good!!! I met so many kind individuals and the staff was amazing! I have a few specific staff members that I want to highlight for going above and beyond and making my whole experience 100xs better! First I want to shout our housekeeper, Rafki, hands down THE BEST! He always greeted me by name when I left the room, returned to the room, and would help me navigate to my room if he saw me hit the corner! He even gave me a rubber ducky with a sailors hat and glasses.. adorable! 🥰 He made our rooms look really nice and always had a new towel animal every morning!
My next staff member I want to highlight is Alysia (I hope I spelled it right!) Just wow... out of all of the cleaners I have seen, she went out of her way to talk to me everyday. She called me by name every single time and was the sweetest girl ever!!! She went out of her way and brought me ducks that she had found while sweeping to add to my first cruise collection. I really want to see her go further on her venture, she deserves it!
Our next staff member is going to be Tumelo, ahhh he was so funny and so nice! I was going up to the nightclub to find the artist venue/scavenger hunt and he immediately saw me walk up to the door and he came out of nowhere and had me follow him. I started talking to him about ducks and he was impressed on how I was able to see them since they are very tiny. He escorted me where I needed to be! The following day I found the Picasso room and he was such a delight talking to throughout the scavenger hunt in there, constantly joking with me about the scores. We stood and talked for awhile and I made sure to go back and tell him bye before we left. What a wonderful personality he has!
Yugendar, the table artist, is my next member to shoutout! WOOOOWWWW!!!! Every night I enjoyed his magic tricks at dinner, I recorded the whole performance. Totally jaw dropping and had the whole table in shock and amazement! I asked how long he's been doing magic and he has definitely earned his stripes! I never thought I'd be able to experience magic right infront of me before and he totally checked that off my bucket list, I loved every second of it! Thank you so much for doing what you do, please never stop!
Finally, but not least.. Gede and Arsana! They were very professional and always greeted me by my first name, asked me how my day was and if I had fun! We would joke sometimes too. I loved watching them dance and sing.
Gede I want to say, I have seen that man ALL over the boat working his butt off. Every night I ordered a cesar salad for my appetizer, and I like extra dressing, and every night without asking, he brought me extra dressing. He remembered and that really stood out to me, he is very very hardworking and even when he was working other areas, he always greeted me by my first name and asked how I was.
Thank you everyone for the experience- I will be back! 🚢❤️
