Don't look for noise from the crackling, Celebrity banned Arno for posting that kind of information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompeter Posted April 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Thanks for posting about Arno....I was unaware of the whole fiasco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcorgain Posted April 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The Arno situation is terrible. Whoever made this decision should be ashamed of themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike45LC Posted April 21, 2021 #9 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Does it matter to the passengers who the Captain is? Do you have any interaction with him/her/it? Except to listen to some garbled and unintelligible announcement every noon. To me, as long as the Captain and his staff can drive the boat to the next port, I am fine. The cruise director has an impact on me, but not the boat driver! At least, so I feel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe had a dinner or a bridge tour and developed a good relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted April 21, 2021 #12 Share Posted April 21, 2021 There was one captain, i think he was Norwegian and I always looked forward to his noon address. i don't think he is with Celebrity any longer. Other than that, I'm with Mike. As long as he is competent, I don't mind who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orator Posted April 21, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Different folks experience different things. It makes a significant difference to me who is Captain.I’ve known and communicated with several Captains for years . If I am on a ship with them I will have some special experiences. For example, DW and I were invited to the Bridge for the Panama Canal passage to witness the Gatun locks . There were snacks available. This is only one example of how who was the Captain made a difference to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvCruzn4Evr Posted April 22, 2021 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2021 We've had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of the Captains. There are some that stand out because they are very personable and welcome conversation when out and about. They make the effort to come around in the Elite Lounge, they spend time in Al Bacio drinking coffee and welcome your approach. There are others we never see and only hear their 'noon' announcements. It makes one feel very appreciated when a Captain remembers you...it may not be by your name but by other means, i.e., the couple from Texas, or whatever. Yes, the Captain can make a difference and has for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am annoyed at a captain who uses the noon address to advertise shops on the ship, particular excursions, and come down to take a $$ photograph with the Captain. Imagine flying down to your destination and while in the air, the pilot making similar announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish more planes had shops..would make flying more enjoyable. 🙂 Edited April 22, 2021 by PTC DAWG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
