charlielinda Posted August 4 #1 Share Posted August 4 I just saw on another site that someone got an email offer to sit with the Captain at dinner. What? Been on Celebrity 15+ and never heard anything like this. Many years ago we were invited to dine with captain or hotel and enjoyed it but nothing we need to do again. In fact, I didn’t realize they even had Captain’s tables any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted August 4 #2 Share Posted August 4 Just send me the $150 fee (for 2) and I will make all the arrangements. 😀 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted August 4 #3 Share Posted August 4 Never hear of that on Celebrity. They often have opportunities to eat with an officer. Also Officers often enjoy being invited to dine with you at a specialty (at your cost). Celebrity often have Lunch With the Captain and / or Senior Officer for Upper Suites and Zenith Members. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted August 4 #4 Share Posted August 4 The Captains Table has been gone for a long time. However recently Celebrity is selling anything and everything they can think of, so it’s possible they are now selling time with the Captain. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted August 4 #6 Share Posted August 4 We have always politely declined invitations to dine with ship officers. I cannot imagine many wanting to pay for that privilege. Now, if they offered some OBC, I might consider attending and even allowing them to take a pic with me. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odysee Posted August 4 #9 Share Posted August 4 Years ago the Captains Club Hostess approached us with an invitation for dinner at the Captains Table. She was flabbergasted when we politely declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am sure the Captain Kate stalkers would fall over each other to pay for the opportunity. Edited August 4 by Iamcruzin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also just interested in how they’ve phrased the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofietucker Posted August 5 #17 Share Posted August 5 When I heard that term, I thought of the special private-room tasting menu they offer on some ships, sometimes named called the Captain's Table. Pretty pricy and MANY courses... But does Celebrity even offer such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DaKahuna Posted August 5 #18 Share Posted August 5 I am beginning to think someone may have confused Captain's Table with Chef's Table with the talk about a charge. The one time we dined at the Captain's Table was one of our first cruises and I have no idea how we were picked. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Captain’s Table but the Chef’s! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riredsox Posted August 5 #22 Share Posted August 5 We were invited to dine at the captains table, once with the captain and 2 other times with different officers, and I truly enjoyed all 3 dinners. I remember when we dined with Captain Nick and he ordered some very fancy wine and I commented on how good it was and low and behold I received a bottle in my room with a note from the captain. He later asked if I enjoyed it. Great memories from when Celebrity always left you with great memories. The ‘good ole days’. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would raise a lot of money me thinks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I say "don't give them any ideas" about money making sources, but since it's for charity, I'll allow it. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
