tjm0701 Posted July 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Cruising on a 10 night Nautica trip in late August. Trying to figure out a dining time. I believe the Captains reception is the second night ( in my case this would also be an at sea day). Is this correct. Also, what time does it start? My recollection is about 6 and goes to 7:30. Would schedule dinner after. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KS&JW Posted July 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2022 It is prior to when the dinning rooms open, I want to say 5:45. So you if you have a 6:30 reservation, you would need to leave 'early', but you would still hear the speeches and have a drink, or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjm0701 Posted July 9, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Thanks. About the same time for the past guest reception too, I assume. Although, not sure what day that usually is either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunlover12 Posted July 9, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I was on a 10-day Regatta cruise in March and there was no Captain's reception. Not the traditional one in Horizons where all of the passengers were invited. There was a reception in the Regatta lounge for the repeat passengers, for which there will be an invitation in your cabin. I don't remember which night that was but it was later than the 2nd night. It started at 5:30 and had finished in time for those with 6:30 dinner reservations. The traditional Captain's reception was replaced with one evening where free drinks were offered in the bars 5:30-6:30. Maybe they have started it up again. Maybe someone who has been on a more recent cruise can comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEFIowa Posted July 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Pulled out the Currents from our 12/13-23/21 W. Caribbean on Riviera. There was a "Captain's Cocktail Celebration" on Day 2 at Horizons at 5:45 PM with "Complimentary Cocktails 5:45 PM -8 PM at Horizons & 6-8 PM at Martinis & Grand Bar. The repeat passenger's reception was on a different night and not in the Currents since it was by non-public invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently on the Ireland Immersion, 10-day cruise, and this also was our experience this week: 6 to 8 pm except where the Captain spoke which started at 5:45 pm.
