Captain’s Reception?

Is there a Captain’s Reception on 3-night cruises?
Only 8 or more now. Changed it during my last Silver cruise. Thankfully I got one 13nt cruise in as gold. I don’t see a lot of long cruises in my future with my parents health so glad I got one in.
 
Too many gold and platinums these days. Even on the 8+ night cruises where they still have them, they have changed it from a reception to a presentation in the Walt Disney theater to be able to fit everyone
 


The Captain’s Reception is not the same as the Gold/Platinum Reception that some previous posters seem to confuse it with.

The Captain’s Reception is usually on formal night before each dinner serving. They have free drinks in the atrium.

I did. two cruises this year: on the Dream (7-night cruise) it was put together with the shimmering seas reception. They had a little character show and blue drinks. On the Wonder, we had the normal Captain’s Reception on formal night and then a few days later the Shimmering Seas reception. That meant free drinks twice!! Also, the drinks on the Wonder were much better and more plentiful.
 
Formal night was so special 15 years ago. I miss them.

Maybe OP should clarify which one they mean? We had that on formal night on our Fantasy 7 night this year but it was called the “Welcome Reception.” And this summer we just had “Shimmer Seas Celebration.”
