Captain Table Conversation - what would you NOT do?

[CaribbeanBound]

It's probably not a good idea to turn to the Captain and tell him, "Well, the ship can obviously run without you".

[newtocc]

One word: Fart!

Ask him that since he is away from home for such long periods of time, does he sleep around.

Don't call him "Captain Stubing".

Don't excuse yourself because you forgot to turn the iron off!

Nitemare, That is funny. We made jokes before our dinner that I would just say "hey listen Popeye, I can leave the table for a cigarette if I want to and you are welcome to join me".

 

Turns out that I was so intimidated sitting next to the Captain, I was happy not to have spilled my wine. I know to many, sitting next the the Captain is just another night at sea. For me it was was a special occasion.

That actually grates on my nerves when I hear it on a cruise.

I usually don't dine with people who work for me, but I made an exception in this case to get extra lobster tails!

[Cruisindad]

Don't turn to the Captain, look at his plate and say, "Hey, you gonna finish that?"

I would not shove breadsticks up my nose and ask to be dropped off at the nearest glacier

[flagger]

Ask him which of the X captain's has the biggest dinghy.

[jasm8449]

This is not an opportunity to complain to the Captain about any shortcomings of the ship....food, service, etc.

 

Also, at the Captain's table or ANY table, I personally cannot stand it when someone discusses medical problems, in particular, gastro-intestinal difficulties!!!

[cruzzer]

Are you a REAL Captain?

[CaribbeanBound]

These are ALL great responses.

 

Giorgi-one, Cruisindad, debjac...

You're KILLING me! LOL & cry.

[Ultimate Warrior]

Ask him if he is a virgin since he is dressed in white....

This is not about conversation - but on one cruise (not on X) our table was next to the Captain's table. One night a woman who had a bit too much to drink got sick to her stomach at/on the table. Her husband excorted her out of the dining room and returned a bit later, by himself. Not a pretty sight nor what to do at the Captain's table.
