Let's try to do that here I think you do know about Captain Kate McCue's qualifications. Regardless of gender she has been captain of one of the two existing E-Class ships. The only other one with E-Class direct experience is Captain Dimitrios Kafetzis of APEX. So either would be an obvious choice for BEYOND. Since APEX just started sailing this year, it would be unusual for Captain Kafetzis to be reassigned so soon. Captain McCue was chosen based on her direct experience and track record on other ships and particularly on EDGE. I see that as a foundational fact and not even disputable here. By the way the Celebrity Press Releases are marketing and investor purposed- you probably understand that based on your corporate experience. So who cares about their press releases? I doubt that Captain McCue has any real say in them. Captain Costas was the first with Edge Class experience and whenever a new class comes out no one has experience on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at all the attention this thread is getting-- really over a simple announcement of who the Captain of the Beyond will be. It's " Beyond " believable ( LOL ). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted October 15, 2021 #80 Share Posted October 15, 2021 We've been on one cruise with Capt. Kate. Personable as other Captains on our other cruises. I wouldn't care if Capt. Kangaroo was in charge of the helm as long as we get where we are suppose to on time and safely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted October 15, 2021 #85 Share Posted October 15, 2021 All these talented women captains of ocean going vessels are too few in this 21st century. A couple of hundred years ago the only known female captains of ships were pirates plying the world's oceans for bounty. Today these gals got their positions without having to cut anyone's throat....yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
