It seems to happen every time I get on a ship – somehow I get the BEST room attendants. They take care everything – before I even know I need or want it, and doing all of this according to my schedule and not theirs. At one point during the cruise, I was not feeling well and had left the ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign up all day – they had their supervisor call to make sure I was okay and check if there was anything they could do for me.
This young man was our head waiter at dinner every evening providing wonderful service and was a pleasure to get to know. We were at a large table, which in and of itself is a challenge, but believe me when I tell you; it was not always an easy table to please. He always took it in stride and with good humor. It was fun to watch him smile and light up when he was successful with a suggestion. I wish him and his sweet Indah good fortune.
Jay
He is called ‘The Beaver’; because of his impish “Leave it to Beaver Smile”. He was always there in the background helping Tomo and running back and forth to the kitchen with our orders. 
Manny
It is obvious he loves people and what he does. It does not matter if there are five people around, or fifty, he is there making sure you have your drink order (even if it is only water or soda), and the way you like it, with or without a straw, glass or plastic. He pays attention to the details. The young people who work with him should watch and learn from him. Yes, it will increase their compensation, but more importantly, it will also make their job more rewarding and satisfying. It is so much easier to get through the day when you are dealing with happy and grateful people. I wish Manny and his soon to be bride, Grazela a long and happy life together. 
Raymond
You may not see him, but he is always there watching and making sure that everything is running smoothly and that the guests are receiving the best possible service. I feel honored to have met and spent time with him and his wife, Myrna. When people let you into their private lives, it is a special gift.
Eko - AM Room Service
My morning order of coffee was always delivered hot and on time by many different waiters. One in particular stood out – he always asked how I was doing, what my plans for the day were and if I need anything else. Every evening as I walked by his station, he made a point of greeting me by name and wishing me a good evening after what I am sure was a very long and tiring day.
I want to thank the entire crew, with a special shout out to those who work in the background and are never seen. You have not just made my cruise pleasant – but safe. Most of you I will never have the chance to meet and personally thank – but believe me – I know how hard you work and I have benefited
