Have you sailed with Captain Kate?

We sailed on a ship that she captained a few years ago. Honestly, I don’t get the fandom. It’s like when we sailed on Royal Caribbean and everyone was all faint hearted over Captain Johnny. Although I do like Kate’s cat, and it was fun to see Johnny ride off on his Harley.
 

I respect any captain that gets us where we need to be safely and on time, and adroitly handles any issues that arise.

We sailed with her as captain on Beyond a couple of years ago and she did a Q&A in the theatre and was very impressive !

She is a very intelligent and engaging woman .

On the Summit in 2016 repostioning from San Juan to Cape Liberty, she attended our Cruise Critic Meet and Greet with a bunch of senior officers in tow. The ship had recently been in dry dock and we were all wanting to talk about the new outdoor movies or upgraded bars. She would answer our questions, but she would prefer to talk about the enhancements to the propulsion and navigation systems. I walked away with a couple of observations: 1. It was clear she was Master of the Ship and the crew really respected her. 2. She was "the real deal". Her promotion to Captain wasn't a PR stunt (though Celebrity took full advantage of it): she seemed very well qualified for the position.

We’re on the Beyond with Captain Kate now. She is one impressive woman. If she was my daughter, I’d be very proud. And, her cat is super cool!

Any cat would be cool without any fur. Mrs. Whiskerson.  😁

Captain Kate is great.  She is so visible and interacts with the guests.  Some Captains aren't visible nor interact with guests.  All captains should learn from her.

I liked her.  I wouldn't mind sailing with her again.  But I'm not hurrying to do so.

 

We sailed with her on the Edge on the first cruise after the restart.  She seemed great!  But so did the other captains we've sailed with.

We sailed on Beyond but she had left the ship for vacation.  We sail Beyond again Nov 13, have no clue if she will be on at that time. Anyone have any info?

We are on the November 13th sailing also.  She will be on vacation. Captain Leo will be the captain.

She was our captain when she first took over Equinox and then we sailed with her again on Edge.  She is very personable and her crew love her.  I personally don't get all the "fandom" surrounding her either.  She tells the same jokes on repeat.  That breed of cat totally creeps me out!   I just want us to get from point A to point B safely and rarely think about who is doing that.  🙂
