wordell1 Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 For me it is one that never let's my water glass go empty. I am on Wonder of the Seas and Joseph has been on point all week. He doesn't even let me get to half full. HeWhoWaits, Pattycruise, WAYNO and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had an assistant waiter on anthem of the seas who was very attentive to the whole family's needs. He was very good in making sure our drinks were full and was always there if we needed anything in particular. wordell1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I really enjoy when they remember things we liked. On Odyssey our AW knew we liked the cheese bread and the crunchy pita always made sure to fill our basket with it. I think it was also our AW that worked to get us a window seat one night we were a little off-schedule and got different seats wordell1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 As someone who likes water at dinner I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately on a recent oasis sailing it was like I was in a desert, my glass would be empty and when filled once it would remain empty until I could find the AW to request water. (Repeat, nightly) Thankfully this is not typical, but those who are first time cruisers would have a super negative impression. wordell1, WAYNO and FireFishII 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobroo Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I like it when an assistant waiter makes the waiter unnecessary. DDaley, Linda R, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellcee Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Best quality is not asking me how my food is mid bite/chew. Moby Dick, PPPJJ-GCVAB, Pattycruise and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think the best quality is friendliness and willingness to communicate. You can't serve customers well if you don't understand them. So we enjoy getting to know our wait staff and allowing them to know us. The rest follows....Now for me, extra water isn't as important as an extra roll or plenty of butter, but good service is always enjoyed! wordell1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubiquitous Cruiser Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 Really enjoy a cup of coffee with our desert. Too often the assistant doesn't bring it or ask until we're nearly done. Happens even if we order ahead of time. We've just given up on having it at this point. Pattycruise and ellcee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I generally need to ask for a 2nd offering of bread day one. The good asst. waiter remembers and those not as good takes 2 or 3 dinners to get it. Moby Dick and Pattycruise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 I think being able to read the guest. Refills and such should be anticipated, and they shouldn't linger or return too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Miller Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Our AW on Anthem picked up that generally we would finish the first soda or tea pretty quickly on night one and from night 2 onward he just brought out two of each right off the bat. I thought that was pretty smart. He was always working that crumb sweeper too. I told him early on it was not necessary, but he insisted. Darschand, if I remember correctly.
