Reflection - Perfect waiters but language elsewhere on ship
Everything works perfect on Celebrity Reflection. But we will like to highlight our experiences in the restaurant at table No. 509 and our serves in cabin no. 6208. The three servants who were constantly attached to “our” table No. 509: Waiter Mahardika, Assistant waiter Edy and Sommelier Cajetan - these three did not know all the good they could do for us. Every time we came, we were heartly welcomed by all of them. Mahardika told carefully about the wonderful food, and quickly learned our taste to know, and so could particularly recommend two or three of this days dishes. Edy was always careful to serve bread, snacks and water. Sommelier Cajetan immediately learned to know our wine-taste, and always came with the best wines. Explained very carefully about these and made sure always filled glasses. It was also really nice and cozy to hear Mahardika after every meal explained shortly and briefly about "What's on tomorrow" - told briefly about the weather (there always was sunshine and summer) briefly explained about the city we would get to and just like that about when we would arrive and when we should be back on the ship again. - Really nice! We can not emphasize these three people high enough! They're just good all three! An exquisite pleasure every day to get to dinner at this table. It must be said, we did also tried a couple of other tables, but theese were not the same cozy serving stand around us as nr 509. In the cabin No. 6208 was always neat and clean - this made Hristijan for. Always with a smile, greeted always nice to us when we met him. All the time there was nice, cosy,and neatly in the cabin - a really talented and diligent young man. We are Danes and our main language is DANISH, - but of course have learned a lot of English – We very easyli did understand all in the restaurant and in the kabin! If there was a single vocabulary on the menu, we did not understand, then could Mahardika easily explain about this particular right by using other words or sign language. BUT But elsewhere on the ship – we sometimes felt failing the instructions given! The captain and other officials should thus change the speed of its pronunciation - it was often we could not understand him - "he snapped endings" so we thought he was difficult to understand. The same was true of "departure video" which told us what to do with the suitcases when we were to leave the ship. This video we had to repeat many times before we did understand the full text. So generally reduce speed when you talk - otherwise it is like on most aircrafts - that one can not understand the instructions, because you are talking too fast. Many people do not speak that quickly - make it more slow. A wonderful trip!!!!!! - hope to come back Again.
