[@RashadSTPH]

I love when he said "Looking at your visual I have 1 thing to say..... Damn I look good" That had me rolling lol

[@lindadoerr7919]

Why am I crying watching ships maneuvering???? 🌈❤

[@Steve_in_NJ]

You're not alone!

[@monykalynf3604]

right? I think it is because of the happiness and pride you can just feel (and hear) from the captains! Dammit we NEED this and something to look forward to right?

[@joelsteckler2191]

I know! It's like missing our family and friends and not knowing when we will get to see them again. One thing for sure....WE WILL

[@smithaharidas38]

Awesome ❤❤🎉🎉... Such a beautiful formations....❤

[@Icon1468]

This is beautiful, the others ships must’ve been watching like. “What the hell are they doing?”😂

[@Spiridakis2]

I feel pride as a Greek citizen, to see our Captains and Seamen of other specialties thrive, alongside amazing Captains and Seamen from around the world. We have a long history as a country in the sea. Seeing your cooperation, coordination and good manners to each other along with your perfect choreography, brought me down in tears. Congratulations to you all! May you always have fair winds and calm seas! I am sending you all, my best wishes for success and happiness from the bottom of my heart! Congratulations. A small, rental boat skipper from Crete.

@Vasili my mom’s best friend was a precious Greek woman named Dimitra Michalopulos!

[@shaji2202]

Ticks all the right boxes. One of the best videos I have watched about cruise ships. hands down. Happy Sailing Captain.

[@Rebekahlow]

There is something very special about seeing all the sister ships together!! Amazing drone work!!!!! Wonderful ship dancing!!! Love from Vermont

[@ladymayura2014]

Dancing cruise ships.... Better than any theater performance. I love it ❤❤❤

[@jeanzinger9693]

What beautiful maneuvers! Gives me chills just watching these huge ships looking like small models in a pond. Congratulations to all the captains and crew who made this possible. Magnifioso to all of Celebrity 's family in welcoming your newest ship. Fair winds and calm seas. Ciao.

[@londonchevy]

Captain Kate. Wow what an honourable welcome to a stunning new ship in the most trying of times. An absolute pleasure to watch, thank you to all your ship captains and their crews for putting together such a memorable moment. So looking forward to seeing such a beauty in person. Stay safe everyone.

[@capkatemccue9737]

Thanks mr for your love and support Your really appreciated Mr londonchevy

[@robertsexton6889]

Having sailed on the maiden voyage of the EDGE and missing the maiden voyage of the APEX due to cancellation, this was so moving. I teared up as well. Thank you!

[@scottdinsdale5886]

That was amazing and something that will hopefully never be done again! We don't want 6 beautiful ships not being used to take people all over the world to amazing destinations. Thank You Celebrity for the treat!!

[@words1537]

Captin Kate Rocks it Out!!! We hope to be there soon, you all are a special experience on the Beyond!

[@JohnnyFuturePast]

[@johncarr3856]

Well done all, I worked on the ss Britanis, ellinis, Romanza, and Victoria . All chandris lines vessels that were proud to fly the chandris X. Shipping designs has come a long way since those old girls, with your vessels superb manoeuvrability and seamanship you are the new merchant mariners of the sea. Bravo Zulu

[@coryoplayer]

Happy Sunday Captain Kate. HUGE thanks for sharing this special moment with everyone. And yes. Safety Officer Marias (sorry if the spelling is wrong) did a tremendous job with the drone on sending the flag over and all the air views!!!! Now I'm off to get a new box of tissues for the computer room. It's been a "wet" week of Vlog watching for me. (wink, wink)

[@manuelcastro6737]

My "HEART"! Damn smoke around here, can't dry my eyes. "BRAVO ZULU!" Congratulations.

[@EmmaCruises]

I just can't get my head around the fact that these are real ships, they look almost like toys. Madness! So cool.

[@Sh..aa..i]

Yes you are absolutely right

[@marcomassa8684]

Thanks for your love and support ❤️❤️

[@Ken_Leivonen]

Captain Kate, That was really cool, glad that Celebrity Cruises was able to pull this off and that you were there to capture all for your channel. Ken

[@jimj2839]

All pretty special, and pretty cool. Wishing Apex fair winds and following seas. Thanks Captain Kate. 🛳

[@susanmacgregor426]

Omg that was so awesome. Way to go Mario's with the drone. Wow is all I can say. Thanks Captain

[@okidokisisi]

Amazing! Can't stop crying. Amazing dance ship and amazing work of the drone pilot!

[@joecard3]

A very unique way to Welcome the new Flagship!!! Celebrity Cruises Crew, excellent! A job well done!!! 👍👍👍 Now I saw how you did and planned the Celebrity Ship dance. Bravo!!!

[@andywhiteing]

Thank you for this video. I just started watching you because of Don's video and his mentions of you frequently. The drone flag delivery almost made me cry. I've had my drone business for 8 years and seeing that shot with the Captain taking the flag was moving. This has fulfilled my hope in drone use and acceptance. The turns with all the ships was amazing! Thank you for all that you do and Thank you for sharing this video! 💕

[@kimosill413]

Thank you for sharing this! Hang in there Celebrity family. This was really moving and reminds me of all the great memories we have cruising and how much we miss feeling the swell of the seas, the gentle rumble of the engines and all the fun aboard. The good in all this craziness is that we will appreciate more than ever the next time we set sail. Looking forward to sailing on the Edge one day soon!

[@caringneighbors1681]

That was Awesome.....Thanks So Much for Letting Us In On Able To Watch

[@sjb1157]

AWESOME!!!! WELCOME Celebrity APEX!!! The precision maneuvering was very impressive to watch!!!

[@SteveInScotland]

I thought it would only be the sea getting wet! Very moving. Welcome to the Celebrity Apex! Onwards to the future and better times.

[@zk9058]

U r very impressive. Not just because you are the lines first female captain....But because you have a zest for life. I realize I’m watching a flick that’s been edited and produced, but i have a feeling you live each day with a passion, excitement and love for life. Whether flushing the toilets or celebrating a special occasion, I’m guessing you almost always have a smile on your face....and do each and everything the best you possibly can. In a world that gets bleaker by the day, i appreciate the breath of fresh of air you breathe into our lives. And look forward to watching you...and learning more from you in the future. Thanks for being you. And keep up the great work!

[@alsuzy1345]

Captain Kate, you are amazing and we enjoy your videos. We had the good fortune to sail once with you previously and we look forward to sailing with you again. Fair winds and following seas.

[@seannielsen6587]

The first thing I thought of was like, this is just like the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds display teams but it is with Cruise Ships. So very cool. Welcome to the Fleet Celebrity Apex and Crew!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us Capt Kate.

[@carolr9301]

Wow wow wow, how amazing. I wish we could have seen some of the footage full screen, not just a thin picture. Thanks for sharing.

[@cj4276]

Ive never seen a video like this and the video was incredible in every aspect. It make a person excited for you guys. I’ve been working in the transportation industry for 30 years and always love hearing a person say that safety is their highest priority. Captain Kate, keep doing your thing girl and making your dad proud.

[@onceuponacruise]

I may or may not have cried a little. Well done. Can’t wait to get back to cruising. Sailed on the Summit a few years ago when Kate was the Captain. We became instant fans! Safe travels to everyone!

[@eckwullie579]

Just watched this and found it to very emotional for some reason! Probably due to the fact that there is so much camaraderie among the captains and the whole event was superbly orchestrated. I would like to thank Captain Kate for posting all the videos that she does as it provides a great insight to those of us who can only see cruise ships from a passenger perspective.

[@Charles-re4vd]

Ok Captain Kate that was simply Breath taking beautiful. May you all have clear skys & Always have the wind in ur sails.❤👁️👁️🥰🌹🤔👍☕🌄

[@katieschu]

Captain, this video is so far by the most inspiring.... the story of how u welcomed the Apex was just absolutely amazing & deeply touching. When the pandemic is far behind us, we will celebrate welcoming the Apex in style! (And kudos to your Drone Officer!) 📹🎥⛴⚓

[@skycrew867]

That was pretty cool.....very original....well done to all Captains!

[@ycabonifacio]

2 years late but this made me cry, i love this

[@fionaphyllis]

[@wendykoek6757]

Congratulation and warm welcome to the Apex joining the Celebrity family. This video is simpy wonderful. Wow wow wow... That was well prepared and the result is trully amazing! BRAVO!

[@mikemorgan3837]

That was fantastic. So much planning and effort went into making it happen and also editing the video. Thank you for putting this together.

[@TCCBLADES]

Captain, we absolutely love watching your youtube and TikTok videos. It is such a nice escape during these tough times. My wife's parents got to spend Christmas 2019 with us from out of state and then we all quickly headed into the Pandemic. My wife had no way of knowing that that Christmas was going to be the last time she saw her father. He passed away on Christmas 2020 alone in the hospital with COVID 19 600 miles away. It has been a tough year and holiday season for my wife. Your videos have been the first thing that made her smile...thank you! Maybe one day we can come cruise with you. Keep making entertaining and educational videos we love them! Wishing you fair winds and following seas!

[@bigshipshd2775]

Captain Kate, thats really amazing even I my self a seafarer has not seen this at sea. Just awesome. Keep posting and stay connected. Your fellow seamen from BIG SHIPS

[@482644]

No words can describe this feelings! Thank you!

[@michelleluvbeachsunsets4529]

Hi Capt. Kate! I am fortunate enough to have just stumbled upon your channel and it was for this amazing video. It was spectacular! I have heard so much about you and how wonderful you are! I hope someday to be a passenger on your ship and have the opportunity to meet you in person. Smooth sailing.

[@thooffee]

Never seen anything like this! What a show! 😮

[@muleman1701]

Captain Kate that was a beautiful display! This should be added to tradition. Thank You for sharing this with us land lubbers!

[@Pantherjonvideos]

That was totally awesome and WOW!! Certainly gives me a greater respect for Celebrity Cruises that the 'bean counters' in corporate would allow the expenditure of resources to make this happen! Kudos to them for that, and kudos to ALL the ship Captains for executing such maneuvers so gracefully and safely! :) Well, I guess I better start planning a cruise on a Celebrity ship! Hmmm, maybe even on the Celebrity Edge!

[@richardoakley4727]

Thanks Capt. Kate, I love watching your Blog, My wife and I are scheduled for a 7 day on the Apex in February, lol, we were scheduled to cruise on edge in November 2020, but due to the Corvid and the no sail order we were not able to make it due to the cancellation of Novembers sailing. But after the February, cruise i would love to sail with you at some point, and we will make those plans, you are an inspiration to many us young woman who inspire to be Captains and managers of ships .

[@AddyandTerry]

this was soooo cool to watch! and I remember meeting you during our preview on the Edge (even more cool). can't wait to sail and welcome the apex personally.

[@jeremy1350]

[@ashleighclute]

[@jeanetteraichel8299]

I'm a Carnival fan, but having a woman, and cat lover, as a captain is kickers. I was on a Carnival ship for their 50th Sailabration last year. Our formation had five ships. It's a marvel watching five ships line up. Imagine if you had passengers on board for that day...

[@billybrent1]

That was an amazing watch! Congratulations to all involved, what a fabulous welcome for Celebrity Apex. I must admit I had goosebumps!

[@andrewleeadkins93]

The planning that went into that is amazing and the outcome is something truly spectacular. Hats off to all Captains who made those maneuvers look so easy

[@sueturaninalexander6520]

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video . It was fascinating to watch and also hear about all the planning and coordination. I have only been on the Summit. I was treated wonderfully and enjoyed it. Can’t wait to travel on another Celebrity ship one day .
