Captain Nicholas Pagonis of Celebrity Silhouette
Continuing our coverage of Celebrity Silhouette, this we have interviews with two of the individuals who play a major role in creating the cruise experience on Silhouette – - her captain and the hotel director.
The captain of a cruise ship does not just drive the ship. In fact, only a relatively small portion of his time is spent with his hands on the controls – - usually just going in and out of port. Rather, the captain has ultimate responsibility for everything that goes on aboard the ship. He is the CEO, the big picture guy.
Captain Nicholas Pagonis is the captain of Celebrity Silhouette. A very open and friendly person, he is often seen out and about amongst the guests. This is in order to further his vision of what the atmosphere on Silhouette should be like. At the same time, the safety of the ship and the guests is his number one priority, which he takes quite seriously.
In our conversation, we spoke about Silhouette both from a nautical perspective as well as about the overall cruise experience it offers. The interview is posted at http://www.beyondships2.com/celebrity-silhouette-captain-interview.html
Sue Richardson is Silhouette’s hotel director and as such is directly responsible for most of the things that the guests experience onboard – - the accommodations, the dining, the entertainment and the activities. I asked her to describe the cruise experience that Silhouette offers and who the Silhouette is seeking to attract as guests.
