There is only one Captain on Beyond and that is Captain Kate McCue.  When she is away from the ship, the Staff Captain takes over.  On the new Celebrity Ascent, two brothers will share Captain duties starting in 2024. They are the Kafetzis  brothers, who have been with Celebrity for a number of years.

 

Every ship has two actual captains who alternate, generally three months on, three months off. The Staff Captain is second in command and would take over only for brief absences.

 

Ascent's take-out captain will be Captain Dimitrios Kafetzis and he will eventually be relieved by Captain Tasos Kafetzis.

 

Captain Kate's husband previously was Virgin's Fleet Engineer (employee #1) involved in the design and build of all of their ships. He's back at RCCL now, traveling around to all the ships of the RCCL brands.

Last night, I received an email from Celebrity regarding the President's cruise to Alaska on Solstice with Captain Kate.  Then, this morning I received another email from them about Celebrity Edge.  It literally looks like an email from when Edge first came out.  The subject line says, "The Magic Carpet:  A 90-ton platform that levitates up and down our ship."  It goes on to say, "Meet Captain Kate..."  Is she moving back to the Edge?

Will Captain Kate be on the Beyond in mid May 2024 ?
