Episode 3: A day in my life as a cruise ship Captain 

Thanks for sharing a day in the life. As a Captain on an Oil Tanker a day in my life is a little different, a lot less uniform changes, 12kts rather than 19 but early call for restricted visibility is the same! Calm seas and a fair wind Capt.

Big time respect for you captain! I can’t imagine having all the technical AND people skills needed to succeed like this. Wow.

My father was a captain of an Oil Tanker in the 70s-late 90s. When his fleet was sold off and he was forced into early retirement he was courted by a bunch of Cruise Lines. I remember after about the third voyage with yet another company he came back and just said "I'm not sure I can do this". He became a teacher instead which he loved up until his death. Balancing the needs of the ship and the passengers was a little too different than what he was used to for that salty sea dog. Mad respect to you and your officers for handling all of that with skill and elegance.

We have sailed with Captain Kate twice. She is a public presence on the ships. Her daily announcements and anecdotes were enjoyable. Have not met Bug yet. Maybe one day. Thanks Captain 😊

As ex royal Caribbean crew it’s so refreshing to see a person in such a top position giving access to there post . Many thanks Ben .

I like how interactive she is with the everyone on the ship, many times when you go on cruises you never see the captain.

I recently sailed on Beyond with her! She and Bug make the trip...beyond fabulous!!! She's a very hard act to follow!!!!! Once you sail with Capt Kate, it's hard to do it any other way. The lady is truly "badass"!!!!❤

Wow, that's one helluva schedule Captain! My family and I love cruising - thanks to you, your crew, and all the fantastic sailors at sea who make it possible for us non-sailors to enjoy the sea for a few days a year.

Your first mate Bug, is definitely First Class!! So glad this short popped into my feeds!! Keep up the seafaring life Skipper from a U.S. Marine 🫡

Wow Captain, I have such respect and admiration for your dedication. Not only to your career and profession, but also to do a wkout every day. You inspire me 🤗

Captain Kate you make it look easy,what an ambassador you are for your cruise line respects from UK

You are truly an inspiring woman and very humble person whom I can’t wait to meet in March on my Beyond cruise It’s my first Celebrity cruise and I’m excited it’s with you Cheers!

the best Captain ever, works on 3 cruise line... Captain Kate is trully a very humble and utterly friendly Captain, I was on my very first day on the second ship with Celebrity when Captain approached me and shaked my hands welcoming to the ship....

It was so nice to meet you when we were on the Beond and you were on board but still on vacation. That was the highlight of our trip. Would love to cruise with you again.

OMG, you are so awesome! A great role model to not only to young women looking to enter into a life at sea, but everyone as your energy is motivational! Smooth sailing and Halcyon Days!

You are too cool Captain Kate. Thanks for another great video and for showing who is really in charge. Bug is so cute. We were fortunate enough to sail with you once and look forward to our next sailing. Fair winds and following seas.

The hard work and dedication all of a cruise ship’s crew gives is amazing.

Captain Kate is amazing. And Bug is super cute.

Thank you. I have loads of respect for all the professionals that drive these big Ships around.

These are the type of “day in the life” that I enjoy. Great job captain!

Thank you for sharing! I liked seeing how your day went and what kind of work is involved!

Love these they show so much and its easy to appricate the hard work you put in.

Confident, experienced, capable, and the most beautiful captain I’ve ever seen!

Great to get a peek into the life of a cruise ship Captain. 🚢🐱

Praying for calm seas and fair winds! Thank you for sharing with us, Captain! ⚓🚢 🌞 🐬

One captain to another, you make all captains look good. Keep up the great work!!❤

Neat little snippet of the many functions and duties carried out by a sea ship captain. As someone else posted, it takes a great amount of interpersonal skills and technical skills to be a success at this career.

I love transiting between Italy and Sicily, two real special countries!

Love these videos. I love cruising more than anything and would always feel very safe with her in charge!

The Captain is riding the crest of a wake on the sea of tranquility . May your travels be full of love and cheer . 💖 .... 🛳️☀️🌊🌊🌊

Thanks for sharing I love to see what the day is like in your life you have got to be in most friendliest captain I have ever seen all the ships I’ve been on I don’t know any of the captains never seen them, and hardly ever heard from them

Thank you for all you do!!!

Awesome stuff Cap'n.. Love your youtube updates so I can show my daughter some of what she can do when she get's older. Please keep them coming.

That was fun to see! Thank you!

Wow incredible!❤❤❤ I really love to watch how you do at the cruise and your baby cat is really cute! Keep it up girl! Smile.

I was never a seaman. But my previous job was to manage gas tanker vessels operations. So I know it takes a real badass to have to cope with technical issues and 1000 people on board. Fair winds and following seas capt!

Captain, you have the cutest "boss" in the world! ❤️

Enjoyed this insight very much, thank you for sharing!

Awesome video, really cool to see behind the scenes. More please, please!!!!

This woman is AMAZING! Selfless. Competent. Interesting. Lovely.

I REALLY REALLY liked this video. A little bit of everything!

Great work. I always love seeing fellow mariners and how there life is in other occupational fields. Great camera work also. Keep up the good work Capt!

Thank you for giving us a look at your every day routine, I went on a cruise with my mom and little brother in my youth, never met the Captain.

So happy to see you have your kitty with you😻

Im going on my first cruise in a couple months and this was just fun to watch

Wow. Definitely a full day! Awesome job captain

Beautiful, competent, capable and classy!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. You have a lot to be proud of. I don't even know you Captain, but I am proud of you and your accomplishments.

It looks like you are winning in this life . God bless . Hard work always wins .....

Thank you for your professionalism and sharing …. 🚢

AWESOME to see a beautiful young lady at the helm! I bet your parents are so freakin proud.

You’re awesome Captain! Thank you for taking me with you 😀

Wow cool lifestyle. Love your Bug! She is so cute. I have three cats on my own Alfons, Miette, and Eddie.

Love these.. The coolest Captain ever..

Wow, yur job is so cool. Surround w/ people, & activities, U'll never b bored on the cruise ship. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.

Thanks Captain Kate for these little insights into your life on the ship. And I’m a crazy cat lady so of course, I love that Bug! Hope I get to sail with you one day!

I am just fascinated with your videos… outstanding,

That was great. Love the cat.

Thanks for this video Captain Kate. 👍🙂

This is so cool! I’ve never been on a cruise but hope to go one day. I totally thought the captain stayed on the bridge all day!

Being a cruise ship captain looks like a lot of fun!

What a great lady and humble too 👍👏

So cool to see. I worked on a cruise ship for 2 years (Carnival) never once saw an American Captain let alone female. Get it girl!! PS-I was always amazed by the pilots jumping on and off the ship. I once joked with one of my coworkers what the insurance must look like for a job like that. 😳

Thank you for showing us your day oof work... Love Bugs...take care...

Bug is ADORABLE. Very cool to see how you do things day to day. Maybe 1 day I'll get up enough courage to get on a cruise ship. I can't swim & water's scary so....we'll see.

That looks like really fulfilling job!! I’m jealous!

That's It I'm in Love. !!!

I need the deets for the day uniform shoes. The treads look very useful.

You have your sweet kitty with you on the ship!😭 I always wondered how that works, and assumed they’d have to stay back on land. It’s so cool you get to keep them with you!

REALLY interesting, Not sure how i got here but i'll take it, another fan! 👍👌👏

Your "red" rubber spikes sol shoes or high heels "answers all the questions of how officers like you can stay still & walk safely while the cruise is sailing on a rough sea. Thank you very muh Captain Kate.

Legend kate....

Capt. great look into the life of a ships captain. Thanks for sharing with us. Love the socks by the way..lol. Hope to sail with you at some point, Celebrity is our cruise line of choice. We had one Capt. who would play his guitar for the passengers before the evening show one time....hmm maybe that was on RCCl.

If I were on that boat I'd be with the lucky ones in case of a emergency. I'd be in the orchestra and obligated to stay on the boat untill last, together with this beatiful captain 😍

I'm going to cruise on her ship! I know I'll be in good hands and enjoy the adventure!

Very cool job

Reminds me of my days in the Navy, I always loved the ship at night, I'm not far from retirement at my current job, maybe I should look into going back out to sea on a ship like this

Awesome that Captain Kate has her own channel. Have sailed with her many times. She's great.

1:49 - I love cruising. I worked on Queen Victoria for a while. Your stockings made me subscribe

Thank you Captain for a peek at your day

Awesome!!! This is truly your calling ma'am. It is good to be in a career that you enjoy instead of a job that you have to do to make ends meat. I am getting ready to become crew and doing a little research with several RU-vidrs to get a glimpse of what life is like on a boat. #Publichealthinspector here I come.

Hi Captain Kate. I will be on the Beyond for the transatlantic sailing in October, so I hope you and Bug will still be on board. Take care and stay safe, Bob

Very nice. Thank you for sharing. Continued success to you.

So cool that you shared and have a fur baby on board.

Wow! Long day for you, hopefully you are well taken care of. Have to say what’s on every guy is thinking, Kate is stunning.

You make it look easy!

U are sure living the that SEA LIFE Captain! 🐈🌊⛴⚓☀️

Hi Captain Kate, I have seen you on Molly Birkes channel and I heard about you from cruise vloggers but I had no idea that you had a channel. I just subscribed and I'm about to watch all of your content. Thanks for all that you do.

One of the prettiest master mariner’s 💐

Wow, you have an incredibly busy day. Kudos to you 👏

I’m in love

Awesome x

a very interesting insight, it's great to see. I really like the stockings. what brand and type is it?

Thank you for sharing

Respect yet Beautiful woman!!. I don't like boats , but she would change my. mind.

Thank you! This was very interesting. New subsriber!

So awesome you take kitty with you. Mine and my puppy are my world

Hi Kate!! A big plause to your success, a big hug from an old Italian friend and colleague... which you probably won't remember anymore ☺️... I left Indy after many years, now going to WN, a new challenge 😊. Have a smooth and bright sailing 😉🤗👋👋

So looking forward to seeing you on our forthcoming cruise on 20th October 😊👍🏻

Wow 🤩
