ANOTHER server question

[kaykels]

I know this subject has been beat to death, but the servers come and go, so I'm posing this question to those that have sailed recently on the Magic. Is there a team of servers that you would request again because they went above and beyond? The reason I ask is because on my 1st Wonder cruise, the servers were unbeatable and made our cruise EXTRA special. We actually missed them when we went to Palo. On our second cruise we had moderate service. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't over the top like the first crew. I'm looking for an over the top experience again and I've never sailed the Magic. B.T.W, I'm traveling with a party of 9. Two 3 yr.old, a 10 and an 8 year old, and 5 adults.
Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean.

Our last one we had Louis (India) and Wawan (Indonesia), I am only putting their countries in case there are others with the same names.

THis pair was OUTSTANDING with our family. My kids still talk about them every now and again (often). They did so many wonderful things, and some things, they went over and beyond their call of duty..

Just wanted to add my for them.... I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

We had awesome service from Felipe (head server), and Nazim (asst. server) on the 2/26/05 Magic. Great with the kids and with the adults, knew ahead of time what we wanted to drink.

We just got back 3 days ago from our Eastern trip - very much enjoyed our wait staff. Pairoj - from Thailand (pronounced Pie-roh) was a fantastic server and great with everyone in our party (ages 1 - 63). Asst server, Oksana was great as well, and it was her 1st voyage in that capacity. Both were very warm and eager to please, and were always willing to do anything to make our dinners more enjoyable.

My personal favorites are Micho (from Croatia) and Sachim (from India). Micho isn't the greatest at magic tricks, etc. but he is absolutely the best as far as getting your food quickly and accurately and making the kids happy with anything having to do with food. He found out that my daughter likes broccoli, and no matter what else she ordered, she got broccoli every night. He treats her like a princess.

Sachim was an assistant about a year ago, and on our cruise this fall had been promoted to server.

WE loved Steve (Trinidad) our server and Luis (India) asst. server. on our 2/19 Eastern cruise. They were great with the kids and the adults (17 of us in total). Made every night a fun time for dinner.

I can't speak to "teams" because I know that I've seen these people separately since I've had them as a team. So I'll recommend main servers. Adrian Doward from England is one of the best. Superlative service, extremely energetic personality. Really engages both the kids and adults. Toto from the Phillipines, was also really great. Also Martin Rodriguez from India - he was our assistant this last cruise, but was really really good. We have recently taken to requesting our favorite Head server, John Cunningham from Scotland, knowing that anyone in his section is going to be great because he sees to it! So we recommend that as an option too.

Wilson from the Philippines and Jennifer from England were fantasic. They did tricks, told jokes and even made Mickey mouse heads out of the ketchup. They remembered everyone's names and said hi everytime we saw them on the ship.

I second Adrian from England......he was the best. My DS7 (6 at the time) still talks about him and our assitant server Beata from Hungary. He really, truly misses them. I think that says it all for us!

I don't know how long serving teams stay together. There's movement between teams and servers and assistant servers switch roles too. Sometimes they even switch ships!! Some of the movement is due to guest comments and how they are rated (you know - excellent ) on the survey DCL asks us to fill out on that last night of the cruise.

We are JUST back from the Wonder 03/13-03/17, and we had a wonderful team.

As server we had Mario from Croatia, and Santana. Every night the new exactly what we wanted. I can't believe how great they were. Mario was even able to get the kids to eat their vegetables.

I realized tonight that dinner will never be the same without the two of them.
