- When the newest edition to the Celebrity fleet, the Celebrity Apex, joined 5 of our ships in the Caribbean it was a unique opportunity to put a new spin on tradition by coordinating $5 billion in hardware to make 720,000 gross tons "dance"! This is how we went about it!
Why am I crying watching ships maneuvering???? 🌈❤
You're not alone!
Same
Same
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?
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
I love when he said "Looking at your visual I have 1 thing to say..... Damn I look good" That had me rolling lol
This is beautiful, the others ships must’ve been watching like. “What the hell are they doing?”😂
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!
Ticks all the right boxes. One of the best videos I have watched about cruise ships. hands down. Happy Sailing Captain.
Dancing cruise ships.... Better than any theater performance. I love it ❤❤❤
There is something very special about seeing all the sister ships together!! Amazing drone work!!!!! Wonderful ship dancing!!! Love from Vermont
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.
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.
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr londonchevy
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!!
T his is by far the most awesome thing I've seen this year
I am Fully Gobsmacked at this Tribute! Thank You for Gifting Us This Beauty at Sea!!!! 💙
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr Johnny
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!
I never thought seeing ships manouver would make me cry 💖🙏 Hope you are all back in full flow soon. Very soon! Love to all!
I just can't get my head around the fact that these are real ships, they look almost like toys. Madness! So cool.
Yes you are absolutely right
Thanks for your love and support ❤️❤️
Captin Kate Rocks it Out!!! We hope to be there soon, you all are a special experience on the Beyond!
My "HEART"! Damn smoke around here, can't dry my eyes. "BRAVO ZULU!" Congratulations.
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)
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

Had me in tears - such a special ceremony and display of sisterhood!!
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!
Amazing! Can't stop crying. Amazing dance ship and amazing work of the drone pilot!
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.
I thought it would only be the sea getting wet! Very moving. Welcome to the Celebrity Apex! Onwards to the future and better times.
Omg that was so awesome. Way to go Mario's with the drone. Wow is all I can say. Thanks Captain
I cant belive i got goosebumps when I heard cpts voice from Summit. My home away from home for 2 years. Cant wait to come back onboard to work with this wonderful people again
All pretty special, and pretty cool. Wishing Apex fair winds and following seas. Thanks Captain Kate. 🛳
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.
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!
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
AWESOME!!!! WELCOME Celebrity APEX!!! The precision maneuvering was very impressive to watch!!!
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! 💕
oh my eyes are flooding ....Thanks for sharing a wonderful moment!
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.
That was Awesome.....Thanks So Much for Letting Us In On Able To Watch
This is incredible. Thank you to the Celebrity team for organising, document and sharing such a special day.
Thanks for your love and support ❤️❤️
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.
Tears. That was truly one of the most beautiful things have ever seen.
wow love it , i had hoped to see her in Amsterdam of this year, but this video makes up for it.
welcome Apex you are a beautiful lady
That is fantastic. A unique welcome to the family, very well choregraphed and such an opportunity given 2020 circumstances. Really well done.
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!!!
This is by far the most impressive dance I've ever seen. What a performance . Congrats to you capt. Kate
I had goosebumps and tears. So cool!
That was fantastic. So much planning and effort went into making it happen and also editing the video. Thank you for putting this together.
What a fantastic video. I can't wait to be on the Apex in March, 2022. Thank you Capt. Kate, and the Celebrity corp.
That was AWESOME Captain Kate. Just beautiful !!
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr Jeremy
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.
Captain Kate that was a beautiful display! This should be added to tradition. Thank You for sharing this with us land lubbers!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing the fleet welcoming Celebrity Apex. Fair Winds and Following Seas.
That was pretty cool.....very original....well done to all Captains!
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!) 📹🎥⛴⚓
And the Celebrity marketing department now has heaps of great footage and photos of these beautiful ships.
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!
2 years late but this made me cry, i love this
No words can describe this feelings! Thank you!
Literally have tears watching this. It's so heartbreaking what's happened to the cruise and travel industry this year, but your videos have given me such joy and hope for the future of our industry. Can't wait to get back out there with you and enjoy the seas and skies again.
Sort of like "Dancing with the Stars" except powered by azipods instead of Louboutin heels! 🚢❤️
That was an amazing watch! Congratulations to all involved, what a fabulous welcome for Celebrity Apex. I must admit I had goosebumps!
Tears. What a beautiful welcome to a beautiful ship.
A beautiful ballet at Sea. Thank you for showing this to us Kate !
Really amazing maneuvers, teary eyed while watching. I am waiting for my vessel assignment, gonna work in a cruiseship spa very soon, hope i will be assigned in one of Celebrity Ships🙏
This sent literal chills down my spine. So touching.
Amazing!!!! We were almost in tears with my Mom. What an especial moment!!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️❤️
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
Congratulations on this amazing addition to your fleet. They way you welcomed your new baby sister is truly amazing. It made me tear up quite a bit. 😊
Thank you for sharing these beautiful images of this special moment.
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 .
What a great welcome for the Apex. Well done to all involved, and we loved the video work and drone work too!

Great Job... Loved it... Much LOVE from South Texas!
who is cutting onions?.......so beautifully done, videoed, narrated.
The best Cruise vídeo Ive ever seen! Put tears in my eyes. Soooo deep emotion. Congratularions!!!! Missed my Milleniun there, it might been sailling away.. lots of hugs. Thanks for sharing this!😘
How amazing all those different formations 👍👍 like synchronised swimming!
Never seen anything like this! What a show! 😮
I LOVE Celebrity ships, crews & cruises!
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...
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!
Choked up watching this. In the ugliness going on in the world right now the sea brings such comfort. Everything as beautifully executed. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Thanks Miss for your love and support
Your really appreciated Miss
Thanks for sharing Captain Kate, beautiful way to welcome a sister to the fleet.
Wow, that was emotional seeing these ships. So cool!

Damn that was BEAUTIFUL!! Brought tears to my eyes! BRAVO ZULU to all involved! That was EPIC!! :-) Thanks for sharing this, Capt. Kate and bringing tears to the eyes of this old sailor!
I even don't know why but I got goosebumps from this video. So beautiful
What a great way to welcome the new ship when social distancing prevents the typical festivities. Bravo Zulu to all the crews involved in choreographing and executing an amazing welcome to the Celebrity fleet.
Amazing greeting and maneuvers, nice, thanks for sharing Captain Kate
Captain u r a true inspiration, just looking at your videos make me feel positive and proud, I work for RCCL hope to sail 1 day under your leadership
Thanks so much for sharing such a historical moment in our history.
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr Andy
Better than a million dollar production budget, amazing what you can do with consumer drones and authenticity.
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!
Fabulous well planned and executed no dry eyes on this side of the pond,thanks a fitting welcome.
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr John
Glad I watched this one. Never expected to tear up watching merchant men maneuvering - even as beautiful as X and Kate.
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr Bill
Thanks for bringing this to those of us who can't be on a cruise right now!
Thanks mr for your love and support
Your really appreciated Mr Scott
