Now, thats what we call SERVICE!

As our cruise drew to a close, we are, needless to say, sad to be leaving behind some wonderful memories, times, and new found friends.


Yet, we are at the same time earnestly looking forward expectantly to a brand new experience on our honeymoon - spending 4 cool days touring Washington DC!

As we disembarked from the ship, one thing remained etched firmly in our minds as we recall how blessed we had been to have met the wonderful crew onboard the ship, who had pampered us with impeccable service over the last 8 days.


Our dining room waiters, Tetyana & Rex, were excellent. Not only did they carry out their tasks and duties with admirable precision and professionalism, they were warm, jovial, and most of all sincere. Often times, it was as if we were friends, and they were hosting us at their "home", taking pains to ensure we were comfortable, well-fed, happy... and the banter, numerous stories, and jokes shared will always remain one of our very prized memories.

Our chambermaid, Oscar (from Nicaragua), was also fantastic.


He made up our room at least twice everyday, once in the morning and once in the evening. On some occasions, he made up our room three to four times a day.


What is most amazing is the fact that he seemed to always have the knack of knowing exactly when we were out of our room, and when we were going to be back. Its as if he was "stalking" us, and the moment we stepped out of our cabin for meals or to take part in some of the ship's organised activities, he will spring into action. The next thing we know (when we next return to the room - sometimes a mere matter of tens of minutes later), the room will be impeccably made up, the towels changed, the used cups washed, the bins emptied, and the toiletries freshened.


In addition to all that, we were also pleasantly surprised each night when we returned to our cabin, as a little towel animal would be waiting expectantly to greet us and to bid us "Good Night"! Here are some of them...

(Towel Puppy)

(Towel Monkey next to "The Blue Monkey" - aka the Wife! lol!)

And finally... ...

(Unidentified Towel Animal! Can anyone tell us what this animal is? : ) )





The towel animals we discovered each night never ceased to put a smile on our faces.


A wonderful way to end our day.


So, to all these fabulous people (friends), who have pampered us for the past 8 days.


A warm, sincere, and BIG "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts.
