Celebrity Female Captain Kate: A Big First!!

[ChucktownSteve]

Captain Kate just took command of Summit on September 13 when Captain Leo went on vacation.. I asked her if Summit was her permanent ship and she replied yes.

Capt. Kate told me on our cruise that she and Capt. Leo will be rotating three months on, three months off on the Celebrity Summit.
