Brilliant explanation Captain! I am an experienced Master Mariner myself, and despite having been on and around the water for nearly 40 years, have never been able to explain all of these elements so succinctly! Love the program for giving the Junior Officers 'Hands On' experience, something that was never afforded to me while working my way up. And the Maneuvering Support Animal ! ! Fantastic, Well Done !
Captain Kate, awesome presentation. I am a licensed Pilot (airplanes) and I agree that you never forget your first, in our case a solo flight. I can only imagine the satisfaction it is to sussefuly maneuver a giant ship like the Edge.
That was phenomenal! I especially like how you have that "Hands-on" approach to leadership by ensuring that all Junior Officers are fully trained and capable to assume their own Command one day.
To be coming up in the ranks under your leadership would be a real privilege. The way you support your staff and give them opportunities to grow their skills is amazing 😊
Kate, we cruised with you in March 2019 as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. I saw you a couple times on board engaged with your staff and wanted to take a picture with you. I didn't get the chance as I didn't want to be a disruption in your busy day. We enjoyed the cruise and Celebrity cruise line hospitality from your staff! Thanks!
@Dinesh Birendra First no good Captain runs merchant or other shipping alone. Aka good captain does he or she can her staff but especially his or her engineering and maintenance staff. While don't know cruise becoming like many modern airplanes completely fly by wire. But old days airplanes control surfaces connect control devices be petals or levers. But I would assume should modern control systems failure completely there either means maintaining use called station until tug etc could assist or until ships control devices are restored. As with new standard that all ocean cruise ships two independent means powering back to shore I have assume means independent control systems but miracle on Hudson there always first for every disaster. Though wish fellow Marriner ill will is not advised as planet has mind and means return the favor to sometimes many times over.
Captain McCue, you have my utmost respect and admiration. We sailed onboard the Edge during the last week of January 2020. Your ship and crew delivered a wonderful experience for us just before the world travel industry came face to face with Covid 19. My wife and I have been Celebrity Cruise guests many times over the last 23 years since our 25th anniversary cruise to Alaska. We hope to see you again very soon.
I was on the Queen Mary in the late 70's as a waiter for one day. It was an incredible experience just to be on that huge ship for a few hours. Now, to see Captain Kate and the great job she and her team do, wow!!! Respect for the profesionalism all of you display!!! And... I envy you!
This is such a great idea to open up the ships functions to the sailing public. I have personally Sailed with Captain Kate 3 times and she is the best master of the ship I have encountered on my many cruises. I haven’t met Bug yet but I hope to soon.
You are a pro. I've worked on princess ships in 6:37 the gift shops many years ago and so enjoying these updates. I so look up to you, Captain, and love your kittycat.
Thanks Captain Kate, we'll be one of your passengers next year. Cruised Celebrity many times so I know a bit about the ships but love this Captain's view on things. All that work to keep us safe and happy is very much appreciated.
Thank you so much Captain Kate for starting this UA-cam channel. It is giving all of us diehard cruise fans an inside look at things we always wondered about. You are simply the best!
She is a true pro. Thanks for the great explinations and sneek peaks at how these massive vessels are operated! Getting to see the controls up close is really neat for sure!
I absolutely LOVE this video!! Although completely unrelated, I spent 8 years in the U.S. Air Force as a Navigator. Many years ago I received a "VIP" bridge tour of one of your amazing ships in Fort Lauderdale. It was absolutely incredible!!! Thank you for sharing.
Clear and concise. Thanks, Captain Kate. I find myself periodically binge watching your videos. Always informative while entertaining. I continue to stand in awe of your work. You are a model to every one of professionalism and commitment. When I say everyone, I mean everyone. The skills you have honed over the years is daunting. I think we are quickly approaching the mark in time when gender shock can be released to stories in history books. Competency doesn't seek gender. Professionalism doesn't ask for anything other than knowledge, skills, and commitment cloaked in integrity. I look forward to someday catching a ride with you.
I recently went on my first cruise and it was so much fun! Honestly, just being on the boat was one of the best parts for me! I’m seriously wondering if I could get myself into a position where I could captain a ship like that someday…
NO paper charts! So much easier to update electronic, but wow - I wonder who can still plot a DR line! So much more sophisticated now. Love the shot of Memory Rock! Destinations for several of my first crossings. Your TikTok has been great for showing people just how much work is going on while you are anchored by Little Stirrup. Kisses to the "MSA" companion.
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 UA-cam channel.

Respected Captain Kate, very nice to listen new generation ships manoeuvres, May God bless all seafarers, Ours were manual day and hard ship days evolved with experience new generation. Thank you Captain
Those azimuth thrusters! So cool. I’m fascinated by shit like that. Propellers, ramjets, pump-jets, tunnel thrusters, rim-driven thrusters-from small retractable bow thrusters on a sailboat to the monstrous Azipods on your luxury liner. Fantastic.
I love boating and being raised on Long Island gave my the opportunity to spend a lot of time on the water. My dads love of sailing afforded us many wonderful days sailing on and around LI. My dad actually built a sail boat in our basement and as it grew it went out to the garage. I happen to be partial to speed boats as opposed to sailboats but being out on the water is my happy place so I’ll get it any way that I can. Bisous my friends.
We had the privilege of cruising with you on the Summit years ago, and I must say we've never looked forward to the Captain's daily briefings as much as we've enjoyed yours.
Oh my gosh! Captain Kate, this was a fascinating video. I never realized there are so many ways to maneuver a giant ship. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge. Please give bugs naked special thanks for overseeing the production of the video. Awesome job.😉😁👍👍
You should do training videos for students undertaking courses to become sea captains , your explanations are very clear and simple , even to someone like me who have no knowledge of ships and its mechanism. Thank you captain Kate
Im so amazed everything we've been taught at school were explained very concise and clear here😍😍😍. Ughh i wish you could be my prof for deck watch keeping ❤️❤️❤️. I hope you'll notice me Captain Kate. I love you and you're my inspiration 😘😘

Great video showing your bridge and team! As a Tanker Master a lot is similar but also very different! So great that you give all your team opportunity to manoeuvre the ship, as a Jnr Officer I was blessed to sail with Masters who gave me the opportunity and I also like to give this opportunity to my jnr officers too!

Your first time… exactly. I was the Officer of the Deck (or Watch as you have it) and conning officer (who gives rudder and engine orders) coming into Pearl Harbor Hawaii on our way to Japan. The Captain asked who had sailed into that port before and I was the only one with that experience even though I was only an Ensign. As the LST (amphibious ship) has a flat bottom for beaching and a very large sail area it is often at the mercy of any wind. Pearl is known for a fairly steady trade wind, so I knew we would have to crab our way down the channel (steering a heading that is offset from the heading you want to go for non-mariners reading this). As this was 42 years ago, I may be off a degree or two but I seem to recall that offset varied from 4 to 6 degrees depending on which leg of the approach we were on. As you might imagine, this mad the Captain a bit nervous but I had the quartermaster show him our track which was dead center in our half of the channel. Of all the things I did in the Navy, shipdriving (as we called it) was the most fun. I seemed to have in innate sense of relative motion for maneuvering (to compensate for my less than stellar command of engineering, no doubt) and it is what I miss most. Well, maybe that and parachuting. 😎 Anyway. I appreciated the view from the bridge, and am a little jealous of all the high tech stuff ships have now days. Still, I liked competing against the quartermasters to see who could come up with the best star fix.
Fantastic video Captain. Very detailed and informative. I do love a bridge tour when we go cruising if we get the opportunity. Looking forward to more.
Fantastic ! Everything is heavily digitised, computerised. Sensors, electronic control mechanism, electrical automation, everything electrically powered. Wonderful ! Wonderful creation ! The IMU data display is so nice ! 🧭 I like to design and build analog and digital devices in artistic ways, and I felt very happy looking at this beautiful creation ! 👏☺️ While looking your video, I occasionally shrunk the liner in my mind, to see what all features I would have added in it. ✍️☺️

What a great video!! It's so excellent that you actively ensure that junior officers get their chance to maneuver the ship, since as you say, it's the most "fun" and absorbing and critical thing you so as senior ships staff. That's so excellent!! I look forward to watching more excellent vids about ships equipment and ops now also!! Thanks so much for this! Nicely Done!
I worked on an RCCL ship (the Jewel) for 10 months as a musician. Most of the time we were under Cap't Thor, whom I'd suspect you know (but this was 15 years ago) What impressed me the most was the arrival at Georgetown, Bermuda. The ship arrived between two rock jetties, and the ship never wanted to have to reverse to leave the port. I suspect that is because there are serious $$ penalties to the cruise line for overstaying a scheduled departure. When it's time to scoot, they want to hit the gas and go. So the turnaround has to occur upon arrival, not the departure. So in between these 2 jetties, the ship executes a perfect 180 degree turnaround. (Jewel was also an azipod ship) There was one guy on the bow and another guy on the stern both with laser range finders, pointing them at the jetties. I'm telling you that ship (950 feet+/-) turned 180 degrees around with no more than 50 feet clearance fore and aft. That blew my mind. Is there a subroutine in the ship's nav computer such the ship will stand still and rotate in place, or was that maneuver all manual?
wow, i just discovered this channel for the first time. Very tough a woman as captain. I wish more companies would see women as an option for responsible jobs. Sometimes women do a better job in this than men. I will continue to follow this channel. Also because I have a lot of respect for someone who bears and dares to bear so much responsibility. 🙏👍😉

Very interesting, Captain! Specially such small controls, for such a huge ship! Now I know how the Enterprise can function without large controls....all to do with miles of cables, and computer systems....all electronics 😊😊
A very cool channel. I worked as a dive contractor for years, with Seahorse Diving, and always enjoyed seeing 'behind the scenes' on the ships. My most lasting memory of Celebrity ships, was your awesome security staff. Those Israeli commando types were always fun to work with.
I've never sailed with your cruise line yet but I have celebrated your accomplishments, Captain. I hope someday to sail on a ship under your command. Thank you for the entertaining and informative videos.
Very interesting Captain Kate I worked for carnival cruises for 14 years and never had the opportunity to go the the bridge 🌉 you looked like you would of been a respectful but yet a fun Captain 👩✈️ to work with. I’ve very happy that women are taking up the job. You must miss sailing ⛵️ COVID 19 messed with everything anyway looking forward to see the rest of your videos.
Very interesting! Captain. As navigating officer I have never seen the ship bridge equipment like this. I'm only familiar navigate the ships with an old equipment. Ha ha ha ha.. What I have seen this is like a dream for me. I'm very proud to you. Congratulations! Captain. Greetings from Antara Line.

I love that you do something cool like get a licence plate when someone celebrates a first!
So glad that women all over the world are navigating to deliver our large dangerous cargo's safely.
Thank you ladies.
Watching this makes me realize how awesome were the sailors back in old days,who navigated with stars etc
Just saying the same thing!
What a great video Captain Kate. I learned a lot and I know the Junior Officers appreciate you also. Sea you in 2022. Gratie mille.

Well, a ship is a boat. It's just a much bigger boat. Just like a jet is a plane.
I got maybe 20% of what you said because we cruise quite a bit . Thank you for the education.

I've never sailed with your cruise line yet but I have celebrated your accomplishments, Captain. I hope someday to sail on a ship under your command. Thank you for the entertaining and informative videos.
This was so interesting! I really enjoyed the way you broke everything down 👍
Please help me plzz 🙏🏻
Very interesting Captain Kate I worked for carnival cruises for 14 years and never had the opportunity to go the the bridge 🌉 you looked like you would of been a respectful but yet a fun Captain 👩✈️ to work with. I’ve very happy that women are taking up the job. You must miss sailing ⛵️ COVID 19 messed with everything anyway looking forward to see the rest of your videos.
Thankyou For this video.Very informative.
Thank you very much captain😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Very interesting! Captain. As navigating officer I have never seen the ship bridge equipment like this. I'm only
familiar navigate the ships with an old equipment. Ha ha ha ha.. What I have seen this is like a dream for me.
I'm very proud to you. Congratulations! Captain. Greetings from Antara Line.
