THE BUTLER DID IT!

10/18/2017

 
We hire companies to clean our homes and our pools.  We have people who cut our lawns, trim our trees,  run our errands, wash our cars.  We even take our pets to day spas.   These services make our lives easier and better every day, right?

So why not do the same on vacations? You deserve it.  Vacations are special-  a time to reconnect with yourself, spouse or partner, a time to celebrate special occasions, a time to simply unplug. 

Transform your vacation and pamper yourself by
having the butler do it for you!

​So what do butlers actually do for you? 
 

There are some basics that most, if not all butlers provide, including (but not limited to) unpacking  and packing your luggage, handling your laundry, ironing your clothes, shining your shoes, pulling a bubble bath and  making sure your mini bar is fully stocked.  
Many of us are not accustomed to these services,  so these niceties take our vacations up several levels. 

But in my opinion, it's all the other, unexpected  things butlers do that really transform your vacation.  These are the things that make your vacation not just great, but WOW!

Having a butler is like having your own concierge services.  Butlers take pride in what they do, and love to go the extra mile to provide you with personal service.  They want to make you feel extra special and surpass your expectations.

So what types of things do they do for you?  They'll arrange for in-suite dining experiences, for example, a special breakfast on your veranda, a cocktail party or an intimate dinner for a special celebration (or just because).   Forget about making your own reservations - they'll handle them all for you.  Dining, spa treatments. maybe even a private workout.  And while not always possible,  often times they magically get reservations at that popular venue when it's "fully booked". 

Butlers can arrange for private tours or dining while in port,  or even get you a tee time at a course you've been wanting to play.  They learn your preferences quickly, so you'll see "little" extras when you least expect them. Back from a long day exploring? Your favorite beverage will either be waiting for you or will be delivered shortly after coming back.  Relaxing on the beach?  Don't be surprised if your butler comes by with a snack and beverage replenishment just at the right time.   Going out for the day?  Maybe a picnic lunch will be provided.

It's all about the little pampering touches along the way, that when added up, will take your vacation from wonderful to extraordinary. 

Where can you find butlers?  Three top of mind vacations include  mainstream and luxury cruises (for example, Azamara Club, Celebrity and Norwegian), luxury river cruises (Uniworld, Scenic and Crystal) and all-inclusive resorts like Sandals.
