jacketwatch Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Yes, on the Sapphire Princess. The Capt. was one really cool dude too with a great sense of humor. He told a story about accidentally bumping a Japanese destroyer while captain of the Queen Mary while trying to berth in NY for during the bicentennial celebration. The he had to meet the Japanese admiral who was on board to explain what happened. He was really scared but he admiral said "its an honor to be kissed by a queen." It was great the way he told it.

TheSkipper Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 On Princess we are regularly invited to a special luncheon with the Captain and all his officers. They hold this for the Most Travelled Passengers. They take your picture with the Captain and before the lunch is over you are given an autographed print. And of course anytime you dine with the Captain they take a shot of the entire table and a copy is either given to you then or delivered to your room. As I recall this has been mostly on Celebrity for us. I'll have to try Gregswife photo bucket thing. I'm sure I've scanned a couple Captain pics onto my hard drive.

TheSkipper Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 OK, let's give it a shot. This is a picture of a very young Skipper with an Admiral. Actually he was the Director of the National Security Agency and I was receiving a citation. I was a very young Intelligence Officer in those days. Well, an Admiral outranks a Captain!! Still looking for a Captain pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCIROCCO Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Okay now I dont take good pictures so dont laugh at me, this is right off the Bridge with the Captain and me and Annie,because we couldnt take any inside due to security Concerns, Skipper you know what I mean! Ill post the Patches in a bit! I know some might of been skeptical of me sayin that we had done this and I dont blame you because I havent ever posted any Pictures, Im a very Shy person and as you all know we are extremely sensitive by the way we look but My Friends its whats inside instead of outside, as the saying goes dont judge a book by its cover until you open it to see whats inside!We fixed the patches where they had gotten crooked so they were in perfect alignment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelson Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Dude - you look mighty fine to me there Robert The patches are a great idea - very well thought out. Where did you get the notion to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
