Service team in Northern Lights was awesome. Lead Server- I-Gusti Team Server- Mufid Asst Team Server- Ahmad The were so professional and just made Our experience so very happy. Casino Bar- 5th Floor Marvin and Thee was very courteous and their services was great. Red Frog Pub Rodney, Kino, Brighton, Damian, Susan, Zena They made us feel like we belonged and like we were family, they knew us by name and their service was above and beyond, please be sure to recognize them for all their hard work and all the hours they put in. They made our cruise so much more special. Lobby Bar Alit, Darma, and Robby great service and very professional. I don’t know how many times I called Jose (Sports Director) LEBRON James, but he still took the time out to speak to Me and my Wife, when our paths crossed on the ship. What a great guy! Guest Services Rochney Mdhluli It was a pleasure speaking to her EVERYTIME we did and she was so personable. We never had complaints, just was so excited to tell someone what great experiences we had in the cruise and it was her. She always had a smile and was very Professional when it came to questions we had. She was so super sweet she sent us Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries to our Stateroom. Stateroom Attendant Samsul He greeted us everyday and made sure our Stateroom was clean and was always there if and when we needed him. He is amazing.
