October 15th. I wrote to my TA and asked about getting a seat at the Captians table and she told me Princess doesn't do that any more. Does anyone know why?

I would imagine the really major types (zillions of cruises on the cruiseline in the most expensive suites) are more likely to get an invite to the captain's table than either you or me. There are over 2000 passengers on the Sapphire (BTW, it's a really nice ship) and so many meals that the captain will eat during the week.

We haven't been to the party during the first formal night on Princess so I don't know if you actually get to meet the captain then. But on your second Princess cruise on, you'll get an invite to the Captain's Circle Party. We went to the one on the Sapphire and after standing in line to get in, you get a chance to meet the captain and post for a photo. Then you get free drinks (watered down) and canapes as the three with the most cruises get to go up and get a prize from the captain.

On my very first cruise (Carnival), we went to a little reception with hors d'oeuvres. The captain came up and got a celery stick as we were standing by. Didn't say a word to us.

They didnt have a Captians Table on the Carribben Princess either.

Now that I know what you look like, I will be on the look-out for you when I am shopping! That will be funny if I meet you at Ralphs!

I keep wondering if I pass you or baseball mom (she lives in Santa Clarita) someplace and don't even know it.

BTW, do you like my signature line? (you have to look at my first post on the page)

llund · 10-10-2005, 02:03 AM

Yes I like the signature line. I am sure we have passed each other. I haven't talked to baseball mom yet. wonder where in Santa Clarita she lives.
