hancock Posted September 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just got an email that Celebrity is adding Captain's Club gear to the gift selection. Just wondering how everyone feels about wearing clothes with the Captain's Club logo. I don't wear much that has the Celebrity logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop-JohnB Posted September 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Logos don't make no never mind to me. Mr Sloop & I each have several items in our "casual wardrobe" that sport logos discreetly (Golf / Polo Shirts) or more blatently... A collection of Tshirts of places we've visited on vacation If people want to buy a Captain's Club item cause it makes them happy... More power to them I see it exactly the same way as folks who choose to purchase Cruise Critic gear Companies wouldn't offer branded swag if there was no market People buy / wear logos cause they in some way want to identify with a brand. No harm, no foul in my book Cheers! Edited September 20, 2014 by Sloop-JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted September 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Buy and wear at your pleasure. BUT years and years ago I made a shirt with all the ships we had traveled on... Got some nasty "bragging" comments. Don't do that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayoldschool Posted September 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'd take a sweatshirt instead of another beach bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted September 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2014 A shirt instead of another bag is a nice idea.. I have already given away the two bags we got, just never used them. Logos on shirts in general? I have a bunch of college logo shirts from schools I work with. They give me the shirts, they pay me money to work for them , I wear the shirts... Like I said, a free shirt instead of another bag is a nice idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted September 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I put that in the same category as wearing Cruise Critic apparel. :rolleyes: Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sixth? Posted September 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I put that in the same category as wearing Cruise Critic apparel. :rolleyes: Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 I bought one ten years ago and wore it on a couple of cruises The complete ignorance of people astounded me :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Chris Posted September 20, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I bought a Celebrity Eclipse polo in the shop onboard in 2010 on the autumn transatlantic, running out of/sick of wearing the same warm-weather clothes on the way home. I must say it was a very good quality and I've worn it a lot these four years, still going strong. The logo stitched on was white on the pink shirt, so fairly subtle. So I might buy a Captain's Club clothing item if it looked like equally good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miched Posted September 20, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I avoid wearing anything with a logo or saying while cruising so I can get way with wearing it more than once. :eek: If there is a logo or saying people will notice it more than something that is plain and know that you wore it once before. :D Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cruzer Posted September 20, 2014 #11 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Cool! I hope I can get a shirt that says: "I'm Elite and you're not". Edited September 20, 2014 by Crazy Cruzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthk Posted September 20, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I'm kinda not getting this - the email calls it a gift, but then there are prices???? So is this a "gift" that we buy???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some nasty "bragging" comments. Don't do that anymore. Wear what you want to wear so long as it doesn't violate any dress or dignity code. If others have a problem, they have a problem. I really don't care what strangers think. I do care what my DW thinks. Your top sounds like a novel idea and a good conversation starter. Just add a Chanel or Louis Vuitton label and people will see the label and will magically admire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted September 21, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I have several polo shirts with cruise logos, got them with OBS's on sale. However I looked at the prices on the Captains Club email and the mens wear is rather expensive. If they want me to advertise for them they have to put it on sale !!!

johhnnyt Posted September 21, 2014 #15 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) If they give them away sure I'll wear one But always thought it was silly to wear a billboard for a company I don't work for The hotel director on Infinity gave me a nice Celebrity pullover, I like wearing that Win Win for Celebrity though if they can get people to buy them and advertise for them Edited September 21, 2014 by johhnnyt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginnyfyr Posted September 21, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Cool! I hope I can get a shirt that says: "I'm Elite and you're not". LMAO, that would be hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted September 21, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Let's not worry about the "advertising" effect because unless you are a closet bikini model or body builder, I'm not sure Celebrity is getting much from this crew. Please excuse me to the few who are "model" material. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted September 21, 2014 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2014 My e mail says that I can wear it if I am a Captains's Club member. So in theory, everyone on the ship is entitled to wear one, since 'Preview' membership was launched. I just wonder how much the postage to the UK would be- I will be declining!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsimon Posted September 21, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 21, 2014 ...I just wonder how much the postage to the UK would be- I will be declining!:cool: We sent some UK friends some T-Shirts as Christmas gifts last year and they had to pay a huge import duty tax on them.:mad: Something to think about if anyone is considering ordering T-Shirts from the USA.

jsf Posted September 21, 2014 #20 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Will Celebrity give me a price break for being a walking advertisement for them? Didn't think so. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohb Posted September 21, 2014 #21 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I bought one ten years ago and wore it on a couple of cruises The complete ignorance of people astounded me :rolleyes: DH has a CC ball cap. We have had many good conversations with people explaining about this wonderful website. But it does start off the same way, "Are you really a critic on this cruise?" or "So tell me. What is so bad about this cruise?". The cap is a great ice breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryfmCol Posted September 21, 2014 #22 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Buy and wear at your pleasure. BUT years and years ago I made a shirt with all the ships we had traveled on... Got some nasty "bragging" comments. Don't do that anymore. I.M.H.O., you SHOULD wear them!!! What difference does it make if THEY gave you some "NASTY" comments... ????? Geeze...they are just JEALOUS of you, that's all and, ungrateful people to be like that. You should realize people are like that all over. Why should they matter? To me, they sure wouldn't.... :mad: To me, if you ever meet me, brag all you want. I would like to hear it... Then, maybe, I wll brag to you about all the stuff in my life! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I feel the same when someone asks us to convince them to sail on Celebrity . It is not my responsibility to convince someone that they should sail on Celebrity over another cruise line.

CHEZMARYLOU Posted September 21, 2014 #24 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't wear much clothing with logos, except at home, and most of the items were freebees. I did buy a terry cloth robe on our 1st cruise in 1997 that I'm still wearing. Except for fixing some fraying around the neck it has held up all these years, but this might be the last year. I was really hoping to get 20 years out of it. :D Mary Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
