Captain Kate -- Collaboration with Dune Jewelry

[hrhdhd]

I got an e-mail from Dune Jewelry about a new collaboration with Captain Kate that dropped today. I have several pieces of their jewelry from my travels, and I like many of her pieces. Just posting for those who'd be interested; there's no need to tell me that you're not a shopper. 😎

I guess you won't be buying a piece for me? 😉

 

I buy their sterling pieces, so I can't speak for the gold vermeil. But many of them are customizable, which can make a nice keepsake.

If Captain Kate wants to just be called CAPTAIN, she should spend all of her time with shipboard duties and not hocking jewelry.

Next we will be seeing her on QVC or HSN.

She is not at the helm currently.  She is on vacation.

She’s not on a ship. if her employer doesn’t care, why do you?

I don’t buy art because someone is a celebrity.  What’s next?  The bathroom attendant selling water colors?  Captain Kate store onboard with ads in the daily planner?

 

I don’t understand the hero worship some people seem to have for certain Celebrity employees.

Who cares? If it doesn’t interest you then move on. If you like then buy it. If not then don’t. Not a big deal. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

QVC and HSN are the epitome for mass market costume jewelry.

It made Joan Rivers an incredibly wealthy woman!

 Joan's celebrity status, no pun intended sold all of those Bee pins. However, I don't think Captain Kate is all that popular among the masses other than Celebrity cruisers..

Welcome to the new ad model on Cruise Critic.  All the employees can hawk their stuff.

Celebrity better be careful. Princess might poach her to model accessories for their Medallion.

Agree.. 

We wince when we see the Captains pushing raffle tickets on board for the special Jewelry store events. It demeans their status as Master of the ship!

 

Some like to be rockstars and popular with cruisers  but being a brand ambassador is a step too far!

I think the brand ambassador is probably more of a company requirement than their personal choice.- just some are better at it than others.

[hcat]

Is Celeb requiring her to do this or allowing her to have a side gig?

 

Not sure I have seen those items on the ships???

Then I would assume you would not call Captain Ioannis Kasimatis a CAPTAIN, either, since he was featured in the Tag Heuer ads for their Celebrity branded watch.

 

Or do you only save your scorn for when it's a woman?

I believe you're right as they are already on the payroll.

I feel the same way when I see Celebrity Chefs like Wolfgang Puck promoting appliances and cookware on Informercials that find their way to the shelves of Walmart only to end up as landfill.

Or the captain that does his rockstar band show in the theatre that everyone raves about.  Just an observation but two of the very forward facing captains are men, the other…

Not a fan of this……..

The line just dropped yesterday and will ship in July for orders now. I doubt it's been added to any ships ahead of the release.

And despite all the naysayers the line will likely sell out online before it makes it onto the ships.  The Captain’s collaboration appears to be and may be completely independent of Celebrity Cruises.  On Dune’s website there is only a very brief “About Captain Kate” paragraph with zero mention of Celebrity.

I was curious how long it would take for someone to make this about sex. That seems to be a go to when you don’t agree with someone.
