Where is my FAVORITE DCL cast member?

[sdlong329]

We've all been there before ... we LOVE a specific cast member ... would like to be able to request them on an upcoming DCL cruise ... but not sure if they are still with DCL, or whether they moved to a different DCL ship. WHAT TO DO?

Yes, you can "request" a specific cast member (within your reservation), but that does not mean your cast member will be on the same ship.

Here's the plan ... if you had an extremely positive experience with a DCL cast member ... please post their first AND last name, their department, ship name, and cruise date (estimate is okay, if you do not remember ... here's an example:

Maiden Fantasy
March 31 - April 7, 2012
Ivan Frick - Palo Server
Daniel Javor - Main Dining Room Server (departed DCL - 2012)
Radoslav "Rado" Hristev - Assistant Server
Faisel Faisel - Head Server
Tri Martudiyanto - Stateroom Host

By posting similar content for a RECENT DCL cruise, I am hoping other guests will be able to use this thread to locate their favorite cast members!

*** PLEASE *** DO NOT post any other personal information. No need to post how much you love your cast member, or why, as this thread is merely designed to let you know which ship your favorite cast member IS / WAS located ... so you may request them on an upcoming DCL cruise. This DOES NOT guarantee your cast member will be on a specific cruise or ship, nor does it guarantee they will not be in between contracts, on vacation, or have transferred to another department or DCL ship in the interim.


Would you like to communicate with your favorite DCL crew member?
The following address was updated as of @ June 2012, and is to be used for letters and small packages sent by US Mail (only) ... for any / all Disney Cruise Line ships ... regardless of their home port:

Disney Cruise Line / Guest Communications
attn: Disney (SHIP NAME) / Crew Member Name & Department
PO Box 10238
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-0238

All packages and letters are entered into inventory at this location, sorted by ship and cast member name, and eventually transported to various ship ports, including Port Canaveral, New York City, Miami, Galveston, Miami ... as the case may be. In the case of multiple packages and / or letters addressed to a specific cast member, it is my understanding, all packages and / or letters will be bundled together (much like military mail call). *** Please understand, packages and letters being forwarded to ports outside of Florida WILL entail additional time in transit.

We had Harry on the Inaugural Alaska cruise (May 2011 / Wonder). He was fabulous!

Remember: On future cruises ... SAVE your gratuity receipt stubs for future reference ... especially if you enjoyed the cast member!

If anyone requests Daniel Javor (Hungary), or Radoslav (RADO) Hristev (Bulgaria) ... you will be extremely delighted!
- Consider bringing Daniel A BOX OR TWO OF MILK DUDS!
- Consider bringing Rado Kit Kat, Almond Joy, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, or Hershey bars!

As of mid April, both Daniel Javor and Radoslav Hristev are OFF the Fantasy ... but will be back on the Fantasy by end of May / early June 2012.

Often, you will find our cast members do not have access to many US chocolates at home. Even so, it's a special treat for them ... something they do not generally have access to on the ships!

Seriously!

Ciao Romano (alternates between Palo or Head Server / Magic) ... is in the process of working the cruises out of New York City.

As of April 2012
Claudia Rayo from Chile
Disney Wonder - Palo

[sdlong329]

Ivan Frick (Hungary)
FANTASY / PALO

... will be leaving on vacation around the end of May / early June 2012. Expect a minimum of 4 weeks of vacation ... though 8 weeks or more is not uncommon.

If you are sailing the Fantasy in July / August / September 2012 ... you may STILL request Ivan Frick in Palo. If he has returned to the ship, you will be matched with your server.
