This thread puts tears in my eyes. Something really nice out of something so serious. How nice for the crew! I just love this story!

I was hoping she would be going off now then back on when I go August 15 out of Rome.  That would have been 3 months for her break.  She's one fantastic lady I've sailed with I think 3 times.  Will really miss not being on with her if she's not.  Guess I'll just have to book another one!

Can’t Love this anymore than I do!!!❤️
Just Beautiful to see lemonade being made and Joy! I for one will be returning to Celebrity as soon as they let me! 

[Bo1953]

Well, well, well..... I hope she gets more Bars on her uniform for this!!!

 

By far one of the best threads, to me, currently!

 

bon voyage

We were on the March 8th sailing, the last cruise on the Edge before the cruise stoppage.  The staff on that ship were the best we’ve ever experienced in over 20 cruises and we are so happy that everyone is well, that they’re being taken care of , and they are getting some “me” time. 
 

They most certainly deserve it

 

Hopefully this stoppage will end in the near future

[SkystheLimit]

Loved it!  So happy they can enjoy one another!

I saw this on Facebook.....Yeah Captain Kate!!!  Well deserved for the hard-working crew.

She is the best!  Hopefully, more celebrity and other cruise lines will employee captains like Captain Kate!

Thank you for the link.  Apparently you have to have an account to view stories.

Here's a write up about it with a video of her telling the crew embedded in the article:

Way to go Captain Kate....people all over are stepping up to do wonderful things for others..we are all in the same bad dream!!!!

[Lindagop]

What a wonderful thing to do for the amazing Celebrity Crew members. Hopefully all ships from all cruise lines will do this for their crews.

Here is the latest...two crew members who were 2019 Employees of the Year were give one week stays in the Edge Villas!

 

I recognize one of them as the person who helped us with our Extend Your Stay excursion, but I don’t recall her name. She was awesome!

I would hope that the cabins get deep cleaned and sanitized when the crew vacates them.  Since it is impossible to test all the crew, any who have the virus but are asymptomatic can leave the virus in the cabin after their stay.  No one would know except the next inhabitants of that cabin.

 

Yeah, it seemed like a real feel good heartfelt story, but sometimes in times like this, you have to peel back the veneer to get the real deal.

 

I admire Captain Kate and fully expect that she has a plan to sanitize every cabin that her crew will have used.

[twodjs]

Since they are on the ship away from any land or contact with people for 30 days and the virus has a 14 day exposure period, my math tells me there isn't any concern. I hope you didn't mean to but using the word sanitize twice in reference to the crew use of the cabins sounds like the crew is somehow less acceptable than any other guest using the cabin. They're welcome in my cabin anytime!

The stateroom assignments must be based upon rank and seniority.

 

I don't think so. I heard there was a drawing. (someone correct me if I'm wrong) 

 

Sailed the Edge in February with Captain Kate. 

 

In any event, it's leadership at it's best. The Celebrity brand goes up one notch in my opinion.
