Al - I think its best not to stress over it. The Butler will help your room stewardess, be responsible for replenishing your refrigerator requests, fruit basket, you appetizers, polish shoes, things like that. They will not be intrusive, and in fact we have not booked the PH for the Butler, but have always enjoyed them. They will bring you room service orders and they will let you know what their duties are and how they can help make your cruise more enjoyable. If you have a party in your room, they will take care of that, after consulting with you. One night, my husband put on his black pants only to discover our dog hair all over them, we call our Butler and he was there in minutes with a lint brush and got all the stuff off the pants - things like that.

Truly - don't worry it, just wait until you meet him and go from there. Thats my two cents and advice, and I'm stickin' with it. :D :D

By the way, I said we were next to you, but actually we are not, we are on the other side, 860 is next to 862, which we were in on our 2005 cruise.
