CEO & Capt Kate Alaska June 23

[BridgeMates]

This should be a good one to book.....I'll bet the food will be excellent on this cruise. 

Wait....will she even eat in the MDR?

For Lisa and her entourage.

I’ve run into Captain Kate eating with several of her staff in OVC.  I would be surprised if LLP mingled with passengers (aka common folk).

Which ship?

Someone should invited her to dine with them in the MDR on lobster night!

I'd be even more shocked if she sets foot in the OVC for dinner.

Solstice -> President’s Cruise: Captain’s Club | Celebrity Cruises

[Fly and Sail]

I bet there won't be (m)any cutback on this sailing or she'll get an earful, and it's almost impossible to avoid the "common folk" on a Solstice Class cruise ship.

 

I'm not interested in this cruise, but I hope they whip the Solstice into good shape ahead of it (I'm sailing a few weeks prior). Maybe after it's done with the Mexico turns, they'll give the ship some TLC.

We were on Eclipse a few years ago the week before the CEO was boarding. Whilst we are aware that servicing on a ship is ongoing (areas cordoned off for painting) it was really noticeable on our cruise, painting everywhere!
 

We always joke in the UK that the Queen thought the world smelled of new paint as invariably everywhere she visited it had just been ‘done up’. I wonder if Lisa thinks the same?

You mean Double pricing for the cruise ?

[keesar]

Maybe the two of them can visit my former room on the Solstice.  Worn carpeting and holes in the sofa.  The wooden frame around the closet bottom was broken.  

 

The big question is whether Lisa will actually stay aboard the entire cruise.

It's her family vacation so why wouldn't she.   The we will be presented with a webinar on what a good time they had vs any real information on the destination.

I would bet that the OVC dinner selections will be all of a sudden plentiful and expanded with LLP on board!

We did a "Presidents" cruise one time.  We were in a Suite on the Equinox so we ate in Luminae.  Lisa and her entourage had their own special section in the back of Luminae and ate there.  

[Stem to Stern]

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?

Every night?  IMO, she really should eat at least several nights in the MDR.

Every night we ate there she was there.  🙂  

[rmalbers]

I actually talked to LLP (in M club)before she became CEO, it was when the first news of E class ships came out.  She seemed to really know what she was talking about.  I came away thinking, wow, in a lot of ways.  Anyway, in other news I posted a picture of her 'house' on here but the post got removed very quickly.  That place is truly amazing.

To fairly test her claim of being the "food" cruise line - on board in disguise and eat at MDR and OVC.  That is the only way to experience what the vast majority of cruisers have available in Food service.

I wonder if when she makes a purchase in the shops she will be told they no longer provide bags! I spent $100 and was told I coould BUY a mesh type bag for $1.99 . This is all in the name of the enviroment but I can visualize the bean counters coming up with this new way to save $$$. I think the  high end shops still put purchases in a bag. The rest of us look like we just left a yard sale with our items! 😊👚

What are you talking about?  We've been on three cruises in the last four months.  Not once have I been told they no longer provide bags!

We have to purchase and provide our own bags in the grocery store now.

She does not need to be in disguise.  That would defeat the purpose.

I don't mind paying for a grocery bag to reduce the use of plastic.

I was on the Silhouette in Nov and Equinpx in Dec and bags were provided. I was on the Equinox 2 weeks ago and no bags. This was a 10 day cruise and no bags the entire cruise. It was not that they "ran out" but they don't have them any longer. Maybe when the supplies run out on other ships they will all revert to purchasing the $1.99 bag that is about the same size as the tote bag in the cabins.I wouldn't mind bringing the tote if I had been forwarned. The staff ringing us up looked uncomfortable having to tell people.
