2 Tack, 

RC definitely did not earn many Of the passengers respect for their paltry refunds Which I am sure they put down due to force majeure. Definitely upsetting and insulting. However, I agree with others’ that the captain was most likely taking orders not only from the Head Office in Miami,  but RC’s legal team and most likely from the NZ and AUS government officials. Imagine how much responsibility rests on their shoulders. His and the crews’ hands were tied. Also, if you look at the footage of the Maori event, one of the senior officers motions to the captain who was watching from above with the other crew members on the platform mid ship. 
Very sad and frustrating experience for all. I think RC should have issued a refund or credit towards another trip. 

this is difficult to say as Capt Olav has announced he's retiring this year so by next May he shouldn't be 1 of the captains assigned to Explorer.

Does anyone know who the captains for EX will be when she goes to FL?

Thanks for the info....

Is there any way to find out for sure though?

Hi,

Does anyone know who the captain will be on the 8/25/12 cruise on Explorer of the Seas?

Thanks so much
