Shogun Posted March 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi All Came across an old photo of Captain at the Captain Circle Party, question did Princess once upon of time give a photo to every one photo was taken at doorway other senior officers were also there getting photos taken with passengers, or was this just a once off. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipscat Posted March 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I remember way back attending Captain's Circle Parties where an photo with the captain/officers was taken automatically. It was then up to you if you wanted to purchase it. Remember purchasing one, probably from our first cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedish weave Posted March 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I remember the first Captain's Circle party I attended on Sitmar before Princess took them over. We received a picture with the Captain as a gift and he autographed it. Of course, the Circolo de Commandante as it was called then consisted of twelve people at the party and it was held in the Captain's suite. Good old days !!!

Dame Delilah Posted March 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted March 29, 2013 As I remember, we paid for the photo but we did receive a champagne glass. I was well on my way to acquiring a set when they stopped giving them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun Posted March 29, 2013 Author #7 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi All What l liked about the photo is the fact it tells you the ship, the date, the officers name. Wonder why photo blokes do not offer this as a service. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlynnRider78 Posted March 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I started cruising in 1990 with family who were already members and back then you always had you photo with the captain on the way into party. As has already been said back then it was called the Circolo del Comandante and I think the reason they don't do it now is simply the number of people attending is just too great for the captain to be photographed with them all. Two years ago when we were on Grand the captain did ask at the end of the party if anybody wanted a photo with him which was taken by the photo staff.

And if the pictures are only taken of those who reallly want them taken, there is less waste printing pictures for people that never wanted them in the first place.

Shogun Posted March 29, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi All If you get a photo at the end of the "party" does it still have name of ship, captain etc on it, yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlynnRider78 Posted March 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hi All If you get a photo at the end of the "party" does it still have name of ship, captain etc on it, yours Shogun Hi Shogun, Yes our photo has 'Grand Princess' at the top of the photo then Princess Captains Circle and logo next to it, then along the bottom reads 'with Captain Roger Bilton'. Unfortunately on last 2 cruises, with different Captains, we haven't been offered a photo, wonder wether it's at the discretion of the Captain?!!
