TM Posted August 25, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2012 He was on the Star in July for our sailing to Alaska. Delightful captain, we had the chance to meet him at the Most Traveled Lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky3 Posted August 25, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We are hoping he will be our Captain on the Star's 2013 cruise to the South Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putterdude Posted August 25, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks for the posts, I have been wondering about him as well lately and was searching for an update just the other day. Really a wonderful person and a great captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful captain, we had the chance to meet him at the Most Traveled Lunch. Fantastic, so good to hear he is back in command where he belongs, Capt. Perrin is by far, our... best Captain in the fleet. John,Laura and Gaby Seattle,Wa. Go Seahawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetocruise Posted August 25, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2012 We are hoping he will be our Captain on the Star's 2013 cruise to the South Pacific. I second that thought. He was the Captain on our Star Princess cruise from Rio to SF earlier this year and we thought he was great. This was a first for us as we rarely notice a ship's Captain.

Alicomp Posted August 26, 2012 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I second that thought. He was the Captain on our Star Princess cruise from Rio to SF earlier this year and we thought he was great. This was a first for us as we rarely notice a ship's Captain. I also rarely notice the ship's captain, but Captain Perrin was the captain on our South America/Antarctica cruise in 2010 and he was great. In fact of the 11 cruises we've taken I don't remember the names of any other captains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted August 26, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Captain Perrin was Captain of the Grand Princess when we did the crossing from London to New York in September 2007; he navigated us through the Prins Christian Sund of Greenland and got us through an unbelievably harsh North Atlantic Storm. I to seldom remember who our Captains are but I do remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare azbirdmom Posted August 26, 2012 #9 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hope he's on the Star next March. He was wonderful on our Valparaiso - Rio cruise last February. We hit some really heavy seas for a couple of days but always shared the latest info with us, with a sense of humor of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveThisCruisingThing Posted August 26, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2012 He was on the Star in July for our sailing to Alaska. Delightful captain, we had the chance to meet him at the Most Traveled Lunch. I second the above. I wasn't at the lunch but did like his announcements and he seems to have a sense of humor.

billco Posted August 26, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Is Captain Perrin still in command of the Star? Our pre-cruise e-mail for our cruise next month was from Captain McBain. Whoops! Didn't see Vicki's post. Edited August 26, 2012 by billco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzski Posted August 26, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Glad to hear he is back. He was our skipper on the Star sailing from Rome to Venice last Fall and we absolutely loved him. Edited August 26, 2012 by suzski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted August 26, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Perrin from Sydney to LA in '09 and look forward to sailing with him on another cruise. He made the correct if unpopular decision for some to keep us at the pier overnight in Port Chalmers due to strong, gusty winds which meant missing Christchurch the next day. One passenger very vocally voiced her anger to him about missing Christchurch & he calmly informed her that if he had sailed not only would we have missed Christchusch but every other port due to damaging the ship which was classic Ed Perrin to me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Day Cruiser Posted August 27, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Captain Perrin is my favorite captain too. He was captain of the Star Princess cruise I took to South America and Antarctica. We had to leave Antarctica a day early because of a storm coming up from the south and he kept us fully informed of what was going on. I really appreciated his announcements. I wish some other captains were willing to give their passengers information like he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westendgirl Posted August 27, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Mega-Dittos to everyone's comments. Captain Perrin is the best. We were on the Feb/Mar Star cruise from Rio to SF. the third time we've sailed with him. The finest captain we've encountered in over 30 cruises.

johnmik1 Posted August 27, 2012 #19 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I just received an email from Ed and he is off for 3 months returning at the end of November for the last Hawaii cruise then on to South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted August 22, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Just received a pre-cruise email today and it was from Captain Ed Perrin and apparently he will be the Captain on the Regal Princess for the November 13, 2016 voyage.

MJSailors Posted August 22, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 22, 2016 He is captain of the Regal Princess. My DH and I plan to be on the October 27th repositioning cruise of the Regal from NYC to Ft.Lauderdale, including stops at several Caribbean islands. Apparently, Captain Perrin has a very good reputation. We are looking forward to this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 22, 2016 #22 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) He was our Captain too. He is very personable and funny. There are usually 2 that split the time onboard. Edited August 22, 2016 by Colo Cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted August 22, 2016 #23 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I've sailed with him several times, the last on the Regal May 2016 in the Baltic. He is one of my favorites, very friendly. I was lucky enough to be # 3 on my cruise and had a very nice MT lunch with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrzebird Posted August 22, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 22, 2016 We have him next week on the Regal! I believe he was our captain 2 yrs ago in the Med also on the Regal. He'll be on the Regal in October, for our Halloween repo cruise. I've heard so many nice things about him, and I'm eager to meet him Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
