Fabulous Server on the Dream?

[ajgardner]

We will be doing our 7th Disney Cruise in August, just a quick one on the Dream. We haven’t been on the Dream for a few years so was hoping to get a recommendation for a server. It will be me, dh and 3 older teenagers. We love high energy, jokes, magic tricks, friendly interactions, etc...that is what really makes dinner special to us. It’s a pretty important piece of the experience for my family. Anyone care to offer a server suggestion that might fit us?
(Side note: from reading posts over the years I know many people say that all the servers are good, take a gamble, just be surprised, “I’ve never requested anyone”, etc... However, the two times we didn’t make a request were lackluster dinners. It’s my family’s preference to make a request, and that seems to work well for us personally. So, I’m just looking for reviews of great servers that are on the Dream.)
Thanks!

We were on the Dream last month, and our team was great: main server Leo and assistant Xavier. We were a party of 8 with four kids ranging 4-10, so younger than your group, but it seemed like they were great with all the tables. Our experience definitely fit all your wishes. We were just assigned them without requests, but someone in our cruise group afterwards said they had requested Leo based on a recommendation.

Do you recall Leo’s last name or the country he was from?

I know he’s from the Philippines. I will check to see if I have his last name since I don’t remember it offhand!

Thank you!
Would you describe the server as kind of an entertainer? Higher energy, joke around, riddles/tricks?

he is very friendly and been with dcl 20 years. If you wish he will spend time talking with you, he knows the menu and always has great suggestions. He can and will do magic tricks. During the parade at tianas' place on the wonder, he would parade around, encouraging you do join in and blowing the whistle. so cool. He knows us and is on my facebook. please let him know if you get him, my name is Les. we do not see him anymore since we mostly cruise on the wonder. enjoy. he just went on vacation, so not there right now.

Every time we are on the Dream, I request Adanna James. She’s very efficient, pleasant and has a variety of riddles and puzzles to keep us entertained.

Leo’s full name is Rogelio Malan Tana.

we also had Xavier as an assistant 2 years ago on the Dream and thought he was amazing! We would request him in a heartbeat!

We just got off the Dream (March 9th) and I highly recommend Allen and Jovino! Allen was a fantastic head server. He had was entertaining, did magic tricks, quickly learned our food preferences, and gave great recommendations. On our last night, he wasn't thrilled with my choice for dinner and he convinced me to go with the salmon instead. He still brought me a small bowl of the pasta that was my original choice, but after sampling it I was so very glad I listened to him as it was rather bland. The salmon was FANTASTIC! Allen was from the Philippines and he gave us a fantastic dining experience!

Thank you for the info! Would you happen to recall his full name (first and last)?

I don't recall his full name at the moment, but I know I wrote it down. I just have to figure out where it is stashed in all the vacation leftovers. It's in the section that I haven't unpacked because I am still in denial that such a wonderful trip is over!

We loved Rolly and just had him on the Wonder. I was looking for him on FB, can you give me any tips to find? I would love to cruise with him again. He was so fantastic!
