Kate McCue becomes first American woman to captain cruise ship 

Wow what ship?

How that silmeball ever made captain of Concordia raises a lot of questions about hiring standards and professional ethics.

@@BajanNatureMysticDolt Acosta Concordia that ran aground presumably because the captain wanted to get in close to shore to impress his girlfriend with the view. After it ran aground, he left the ship while there were still passengers on board. I forget how many people died.

And every male captain is better then she is. So what is the aim of such artificial "achievements" ? Women will never be comparable to men in such jobs, because one of the most important tasks of the captain is to manage the male staff. And believe me: this is something beyond any possibilit of a woman. No man will listne to the orders of a woman.

@Ultima Thule: 1800 called; they want their values back.

Ultima Thule you are an idiot

@@ultimathule1000 Its been a year since you commented this. Is your fragile masculinity better?

@@Tarheel13 : WHY ? Do you think that women are as capable as men in undertaking actions ?

I do agree...Sandra Bullock...love it Kate - way to go! You're in my webpage!

Hollywood as entered the chat! They will probably make a movie about her with Sandra Bullock as the first woman cruise captain and they won't credit you for the idea!

Yes she does!

Thanks for the comment am Johnny faevelen , You can write me on my email address Johnnyfaevelenn9@gmail.com

Yeah that made me chuckle 😂

Shes the first captain "Female Captain" to be the Master of a Cruise Liner lol they often forget to define that part but i am so proud of females as Masters

Thus the difference between boats and ships.

I doubt the vast majority of those women would be able to handle a mega cruise ship! She trained for almost 20 years! I think she's very much earned all of the recognition ❤️

The chance to see places is a great reason to become a captain..

AliveWithPassion They should hire who is most qualified for the job Weatherby man or woman

Thank you for your love and support which has brought me this far, it's has been a hard time for me but you supports has got me standing even in difficult times, I can't appreciate enough, the support of fans who have prayed for me, I welcome you to my RU-vid channel. Write me on hangout or email.katemaccue71@gmail.com

Corn Fed she's only the first female AMERICAN cruise ship captain. There were European cruise ships with female captains before her. Good that 'merica finally catches up.

Panos Zoumpos The cruise line’s CEO is her boss.

@@seandavila835 Captains NO have bosses, they are the BOSS!! I will say it as many times as you need to understand it!!

@@pzvaliant She does, it's called the CEO of Celebrity Cruises. She not a pirate, she's an employee with a rank, which has a rank above hers.

Yep and here's another Kiwi who is glad to see progress in this area. Go Captain Kate (and go the All Blacks too!)

You are right. Many play the women's card.

styldsteel1 just because you see an increase in the number of women at the top of their profession doesn't mean men are being discriminated against. It can just as easily mean that since women know they're going in to a field which is overwhelmingly male they have to work hard to prove themselves and they end up being top of their class and a better qualified candidate.

It can, but it doesn't mean that. If there is a job competition and a man an woman are the top candidates, most of the times the woman will get the job, because not choosing her is politically incorrect. She may complain that she is discriminated based on sex. Many grow in the hierarchy this way. I work in the same marine industry and have seen it many times. And exactly those playing the woman's card are the most useless ones. They just have one more weapon in their belt. The girls who do the job and deserve to get promoted, they are ok and dont play I AM a WOMAN in the men's world. We accept any good professionals no matter man or woman, as long as they the job and work hard.

Captains have traditionally always been male the ships is viewed as the Captain’s wife/daughter

MENTAL JOB OF GREAT SKILL AND SOUND STRUCTURED WISDOM . GO KATE AND OTHER WOMEN. TRUST IN GOD .YOU WILL BE THE BEST. YEAH YEAH YEAH SHALOM ISRAEL AND THE IDF AND IAF AND USA MILITARY AND JGW ARMY VETERAN WHO DOES CARE AND DONT GIVE UP . CONTINUE ON CAPTIAN .

Z¡a Qu33n it is a extremely difficult job considering the stress and the amount of sea time required and you have to beat hundreds of other captains applying for the cruise line

Wonder how many years it takes to become a female president...?

AmericanPride1234 remember first cruise ship captain not first captain, also it's a male-dominated field.

I can't wait until the first woman submits her mandatory draft registration card. It's long overdue.

The only reason, she is the first captain in 2015 is, that women prefer to stay home, where it is warm and safe. She looks like a guy though, maybe born male. She is also missing not only some pounds to look like a male captain, she is missing some pounds to look like a normal human.

Also she is just the first American woman..I think there are a few from other nations. But never the less a big milestone.

Dahsil67 cruise ships don’t fly under the US due to some maritime law

theklamfyr nah I watched a video on it it’s because of some maritime law

lol.
