Captain for Solstice Transpacific cruise

Does anyone know who the Captain will be on the Solstice April 2018 Transpacific cruise??

Does it really matter? We see this question asked about many cruises and I am curious as to what influence the Captain has on one's enjoyment of a cruise. I have only done 7 Celebrity cruises with a number of different Captains and not one has any influence on my enjoyment. Now Cruise Directors that's a different story.

We are just the opposite, we don’t really care who the CD is, however there a a couple of Captains we find very entertaining & engage more with passengers. Given a choice we would prefer to sail with them.

Totally agree. I would also add that as in any organisation the demounor of its leader tends to be reflected in its employees. If the captain is engaging with the passengers, hopefully this follows through to the crew.

I suppose the Captain doesn't really affect my cruise to much, although some are more personable than others and the CD for me is similar. However, it is much more noticeable for me if you have a really good one or a not so good one.

As long as the captain does not run the ship onto an charted or uncharted reef - who cares. We have been on a good number of cruises and I could not tell you the name of one of the captains.

I agree with Don, you're there to experience the islands, not to rub elbows and "engage with" the Captain. I only remember one Captain, that was Captain Kate from the Celebrity Summit, only because she is (reportedly) the only female Captain on a major cruise ship and that was our most recent cruise, about a month ago. I'm sure that in a year, I'll forget her too.

Captain Bligh.

Captain Feathersword perhaps.

The captain if an entertainer can make a very significant impact on the mood

of the ship.

Years ago, the best captain I have ever seen, Scherve who used to say don't call me scurvy, would for example when the ship was changing course would

have us lean to one side to make the change in direction smoother,

A weak cruise director is like a martini without alcohol.
