They've oversold our cruise! And we got the offer!

As we've discussed before, better to pay into the Crew Fund.

Does the butler personally escort them from one part of the room to the other. Can imagine needing assistance to get to bathroom

Seems that they are getting a bodyguard.

Already covered in Australian cruise contract. But needless to say I'll need to press that point at guest services. I haven't told mrP that we now have a (shared) butler. All I need them to book is a specialist Indian feast onboard that I can't book online.

Yes. That is indeed the case.

The butler needs to get some ice for the bubbles stat

Yes, forget the gin. Go for the bubbly.

So? Who gets the butler, you or MrP?

He/she will be rather quiet for our cabin. Unless there's an issue we really won't need them. I don't do butlers either.

Our regular waiter did that for us on a Disney Cruise.

Maybe I could post in the Famous people thread?

Me: Butler, my glass is half empty, can you fill it up please?
Me: Butler, my glass is half full, can you fill it up please?
Me: Butler, my glass twice as big as it needed to be, can you fill it up please?
Me: Butler, forget the glass, just leave me the bottle.
Me: Butler, this bottle has a hole in it, please bring me another.

Now. This I will practice. But drron might never get his glass full because it is when it's half. And I've had too many full glasses of Japanese beer tonight.

Sounds like its time to convert those full beer glasses to empty beer glasses. No point hording the full ones too long

I was offered the job of Physician for an Andre Rieu tour of Australia. Later thought I should have taken it.

That IS me at the start of SilverSea cruises. Butler asks what booze you want in your (included) minibar. But they only bring full size bottles, not those silly small ones.

One time (maybe even the last time - I forget) on Celebrity, I remember overhearing our butler contacting the tendering operations area and telling them that VIPs were on the way down and we to be accommodated on the next available tender.

Cheaper on a per volume basis too

Yes. But no tenders on our cruise. Our friends travelling Royally will no doubt help four of us get off the ship quickly in Hiroshima on time. Advantages already. . She replied saying she'd never had such a good upgrade before and she seems to have travelled with Celebrity a lot. She's probably Elite or Zenith status to boot.
