Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Ketut was friendly and attentive to all our needs, he always had a smile for us morning, noon and night. Made our experience on the Constalation stress free. Our dinner servers: Zainal made our dinning experience very memorable, we gained a good rappour with him, he quickly bonded with us which meant that we were able to have a good rapport with him. Nico, after our first dinning experience, he knew our tastes in wine and always had our wine ready for us, he again was very attentive and we also had a good rappour with him. Thiyani, what can we say about him, his smile brightened up our evening. What a fantastic team, thank you for a unforgettable cruise. Nengah, after our First drink he knew what we drank before we asked, he again was very attentive and friendly. He also made our experience unforgettable. Thank you Eileen and Anne cabin 9157
