grandgeezer Posted September 13, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Her popularity must be waning, according to a recent post, the occupancy for the last several cruises was les than 33%. I can't believe that number is anywhere near the number they were shooting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occupancy has been dropping on other ships too, and it has nothing to do with Captain Kate. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know they scheduled the Captain based on occupancy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted September 13, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Got to chat with her a little last month when I sailed on the EDGE. She said she was on board the ship during shut down. So, she just didn't just "get there". She was due for a vacation (actually, long overdue) and said she was taking some time off on September. Sounds like September is here and she's taking time off. Agree that she's a huge asset to Celebrity. I don't think there was any expectations that occupancy was going up once school started. The impression I got was they were expecting it to go down a bit once parents had to be home during their children's start of school. That's happening. I also heard that 40% occupancy is what they were shooting for on those first cruises back. They hit those numbers pretty easily. 33% capacity sailing now isn't surprising or unexpected, especially for those cruises going out of FL, given it's one of the epicenters of COVID spread right now. I expect sailing numbers will head back up once FL gets their act together and when the kids start getting vaxed in greater numbers. FL vax numbers are already starting to dramatically head up, too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted September 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Captain Kate posted on her Ticktok last week that she was going home in two weeks. Check out her Delsy suitcase tiktok video. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does Kate McCue captain a vessel but she is also responsible for marketing, advertising and securing bookings. Wonder if she gets a commission? 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the volume of posts asking about which captain or cruise director will be aboard a given sailing, it's very clear that such things do matter to quite a number of people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cot427 Posted September 14, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Captain Kate was on the Edge for a large portion of the shutdown for cruises, I'm pretty sure she said she didn't leave the ship for a year or so. Anyway, she is a great asset to Celebrity. A fantastic captain and a genuine good person. She is most likely taking her well-deserved 2-3 months vacation and will return afterwards. To grandgeezer and LouChamp - why make those types of comments? Simply move along and don't say anything. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kate does seem to have quite the following, while I don't do tiktok or any other social media, I watch with interest what folks here post. She is a wonderful brand ambassador for her employer!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
