Anyone had experience of this captain? He was the captain for several of the cruises we did last fall on the Sapphire Princess. We thought he was great, only because he communicated well with the passengers when there were delays, was seen out and about on the ship, recognized the crew at every opportunity and he was a good (and involved) host at the CC parties.
