Suggestions for servers - Disney Fantasy

[taishartrueblood]

Good evening, I am going on the Disney Fantsy in late Feb-early March and would like to know if anyone had any really good servers they want to recommend. The first Disney cruise we had, the servers were awesome. The last cruise the servers were ok, nothing great. A great server results in a great dining experience so anyone special I should request?

Thanks!

P.S. Anyone know why I cant pre-reserve a week long Rainforest spa experience?

Thanks all!

I believe the length of cruise passes are only available onboard.

I had an amazing serving team in the Fantasy in September, but by the time you sail their contracts may be over and they will have moved on... But just in case, we adored out server Nolan from the Phillipines and assistant server Dwayne from Jamaice. The head server was Valentin from Romania (whom I've now had twice) and was excellent.

Nolan from the Phillipines

We had Denis from Croatia (Server) and Pat from Thailand (Assistant Server) this last week and they were great.

Yes, Shmoo - that's him. He was amazing!

I suggest Cornwall. We had him 10 years ago on the Magic and sadly didn't realize he was on the Fantasy when we cruised in April.

Alfredo Mota (from the Dominican Republic) and Victoria......don't remember her last name from Scotland were absolutely amazing. They made our cruise!! I will also say they were a great with our table of 2 20-somethings as they were with the table of 10 with 5 or 6 kids next to us. You can't go wrong!

Can people recommend a server on the Fantasy who will likely be there end of Jan? In particular someone good with kids. When we went on our first cruise last year that was the one thing we were disappointed with. Ours servers weren't very good and after hearing all these race reviews from others felt slightly disappointed. This if there are recommendations I would be grateful.

I remember the one on the left. She was really nice when we had her at lunch in royal court.

we cruised in June and had Benjamin Correia (India) as Server, Clefton (India) as Assistant and Amil (India) as Head Server. All were AMAZING!!! Amil as a head server went above and beyond what I expected from him. I am now friends with Benjamin and talk with him often. He has just returned to the Fantasy after a few months home and will be on the ship through the summer. If anyone has these guys please tell them Hi from Sonya and Kaitlin!

Out of curiosity, can you only request a server if you are concierge? We are leaving Saturday. We had cruised on the Wonder a couple of times before the big boats were out, and had the most fantastic serving team... we assumed they were all like that! Then we went on the Dream when it first came out and it was just like any other cruise line.The servers make a HUGE difference to the trip, IMO. I'd love to see if Renata or Jose is on the Fantasy right now, or request one of the servers mentioned above, but am not sure if it's appropriate or possible. And, it's been five years since we sailed with Disney, so they may not even be there anymore. TIA!!!

Anyone can request servers. Just call DCL and have the request placed on your reservation. One note - it's best to make just one request. Many serving teams may break up (promotions, different rotations, vacations, whatever) and if you make 2 (or more) requests DCL is known to not grant either, since they can't accommodate both.
