Best wishes to newly married Captain Phillpot and his bride!

"Queen Mary 2's newly appointed master, Captain Peter Philpott, married his new wife on board Queen Victoria.Cunard Commodore Christopher Rynd conducted the ceremony on Queen Victoria's top deck just days before Philpott takes up his new role as master on Cunard's flagship..." quoted from http://www.seatrade-cruise.com/news/news-headlines/queen-victoria-s-master-married-at-sea.html

I'm sure we'd all send good wishes.

Sadly I cannot open Salacia's link, but there were some lovely photos of the happy couple posted on the Cunard Facebook page yesterday.

Maybe a stupid question who is the main Captain now on the Queen Mary 2?, I have always though the Commodore of the fleet should be on the flagship.:confused:

Captain Philpott will take command of the QM2 since Capt Oprey has now retired, I guess he will rotate with Captain Wells. The Commodore of the fleet does not necessarily always have to be on the flag ship , as he has a choice. I guess for personal reasons he has chosen to be in command of the Queen Victoria.

Lovely photos on Facebook! The Captain and his bride look very happy!

Best wishes to the newlyweds!

I meant who will replace Captain Philpot as one of the 2 masters of QV.

Captain Andrew Hall will be sharing QV with the Commodore in the future. He told us when we met him recently

Captain Phillpot renewed our vows on Queen Victoria, June 2012, in the Mediterranean. He and my husband seemed to have a bit to talk about. Maybe something to do with the racing cars.... Then we were invited to sit at the Captains table which was nice. A Great cruise
