Dinner with the Capt

[Harooni]

has anyone had a private dinner with the capt?

[mom says]

I'm sure that this has happened- perhaps there is a friend of the Capt. on board, or a VIP guest. However, the Captain, in my experience, at least, usually presides over a full table of invited guests.

I would think if it is private (personal and not publicly expressed), no one is going to tell you.

 

Love your sense of humor on other posts.

This is so very true. Not something anyone would post on the internet ... nor about any Senior Officer.

My gf and I had dinner at Chops on Oasis in January and were asked by the maitre D if we had plans the next night. He asked if we'd like to have dinner with Capt Dahlgren and we said 'sure!'. We figured it would be a massive table with a 3rd officer or something but it was in the MDR with the Captain, his assisstant and 2 other couples. Very interesting and a real treat.

I (we)'ve dined with the Captain at a group table a couple of times

 

we've enjoyed private conversation with the Captain in a lounge in the evening several times

 

we've been invited to join the Captain to their favorite port call hide away a couple of times

 

AS Captain, I usually dined alone .... had my own cook and dining table in "the cabin"

We were invited to dinner with the hotel director on Enchantment a few years ago. :)

.......were the table napkins folded like animals at your table when you arrived?...........occupational habit on the directors part I would suspect.....:D

I'm pretty happy just having an uninterupted dinner with my family. I suspect the captain often looks forward to the same.

Nope, don't recall any such thing, LOL.

 

It was nice though. Champagne before dinner, a separate multi course menu from MDR, wine included throughout the meal, and an artfully presented dessert. Another officer joined the table as well but I don't recall his exact title. Hotel director who invited us was Michael Rasmussen as best I recall.
