Meet Statendam’s Dining Room Manager Johny Frederix:
I was born and grew up in Bali, Indonesia. I went to the Hotel Institute and majored in Food and Beverage Management in Bali. I worked in several 5-Star hotels before I joined Holland America Line. I went to work on a ship because I would like to see the world.
I have been working on Holland America Line ships since 1991. My first ship was ss Rotterdam where I started as a busboy. From there on I worked my way up to dining room steward, head steward and finally to my current position.
During my vacation I love to ride my Harley Davidson and cook for my family.
Bert van Mackelenbergh is Statendam’s hotel manager.
Johny is the best dining room manager in the h/a fleet. I remember him as a dining room steward and knew that he would be successful. Always a pleasure to sail with him and want to thank him for making us feel welcome.
So good to see a profile of this outstanding crew member. He visited our table EVERY night on the Prinsendam last fall, just to make sure we were receiving the usual excellent service. Fair winds and following seas to you, my friend!
I knew him, he is the strongest dinning room steward I ever know, good lucky buddy, see you in Bali
