Charge to Sit at Captains Table

[charlielinda]

I just saw on another site that someone got an email offer to sit with the Captain at dinner.  What?  Been on Celebrity 15+ and never heard anything like this.  Many years ago we were invited to dine with captain or hotel and enjoyed it but nothing we need to do again.  In fact, I didn’t realize they even had Captain’s tables any longer.

Just send me the $150 fee (for 2) and I will make all the arrangements.  😀

Never hear of that on Celebrity.    They often have opportunities to eat with an officer.   Also Officers often enjoy being invited to dine with you at a specialty (at your cost). 

 

Celebrity often have Lunch With the Captain and / or Senior Officer for Upper Suites and Zenith Members.

The Captains Table has been gone for a long time.  However recently Celebrity is selling anything and everything they can think of, so it’s possible they are now selling time with the Captain.

That wouldn't surprise me...  I was just looking at my Silhouette November TA.   Lots o Sea Days.    They are now selling a Tour of the MDR kitchen with lunch

 

 

And Pizza Making Class

We have always politely declined invitations to dine with ship officers. I cannot imagine many wanting to pay for that privilege.   Now, if they offered some OBC, I might consider attending and even allowing them to take a pic with me. 😀

We;ve been invited in the past. We accepted the inventions and enjoyed it. We wouldn't pay for it. 

[canderson]

Pay?  I thought the person that won the overall in the multi-day putting contest got dinner with the Captain as the prize?

Years ago the Captains Club Hostess approached us with an invitation for dinner at the Captains Table.  She was flabbergasted when we politely declined.

They would have to pay me and even then I would have to think it over.  However, I am sure the Captain Kate stalkers would fall over each other to pay for the opportunity.

We have too, 5 times accepted and had lovely experience for free!And  we were not in high end cabins, but that was before COVID, and would not pay for this.

We did this twice, because we were on a big table and didn’t want to not turn up!

Wait! What?  I won the overall last cruise and all I got was my Celebrity medal and a Celebrity hat which I gave to my wife!

is there a screen capture of this email? I’d like to know what they’re charging for the experience. I’m also just interested in how they’ve phrased the offer.

Obviously Celebrity knows what you did, so…..

When I heard that term, I thought of the special private-room tasting menu they offer on some ships, sometimes named called the Captain's Table. Pretty pricy and MANY courses... But does Celebrity even offer such a thing?

[DaKahuna]

 I am beginning to think someone may have confused Captain's Table with Chef's Table with the talk about a charge. 

 

 The one time we dined at the Captain's Table was one of our first cruises and I have no idea how we were picked.

Methinks you are correct. Not the Captain’s Table but the Chef’s!

Can you get us a screen shot of this?

How many invites have you had?  I’ve been cruising since 1992 and the only invite I’ve ever received was to the helipad for a sail away. 

[riredsox]

We were invited to dine at the captains table, once with the captain and 2 other times with different officers, and I truly enjoyed all 3 dinners.  I remember when we dined with Captain Nick and he ordered some very fancy wine and I commented on how good it was and low and behold I received a bottle in my room with a note from the captain.  He later asked if I enjoyed it.  Great memories from when Celebrity always left you with great memories.  The ‘good ole days’.

They should hold a charity auction for a noble cause on board for dinner with Captain Kate.  It would raise a lot of money me thinks!

Normally I say "don't give them any ideas" about money making sources, but since it's for charity, I'll allow it. 🙂
