Been cruising for years, never used the term Captain in my name.
Last year a QF captain on our cruise did, result was upgrading etc. Etc. Might try it when cruising resumes !
The title Doktor,Doktor or Doktor Professor or even Frau Doktor Professor , for spouses , is alive and well in Austria and parts of the Fatherland. understandably they seem to be a little wary when using military rank as a title.
