“This Is Your Captain Speaking”

You probably know him as Captain Steubing, the master of television’s iconic “Love Boat” or perhaps as Murray on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”—but from the theater to the silver screen, Gavin MacLeod’s career has included many more roles and accomplishments.

In addition to his other activities, MacLeod has served as an ambassador for Princess Cruises for nearly thirty years and it’s alwaya a delight for his fans to meet him on board their ships. Just this week he sailed on Royal Princess and appeared in the Princess Theater for a question-and-answer session with passengers before spending hours posing for photos with them at a book signing in the Piazza.

You can read all about his life’s voyage in “This Is Your Captain Speaking”—Gavin MacLeod’s new autobiography. I’ve just started reading it and it’s as charming and interesting as the author.
