your taste in entertainment is like your taste in food bland and boring the comic was brilliant

Having done the same cruise recently (see my review), I agree in principle. I share your view about the sale of Galaxy, which seems fine to me in terms of size and facilities; I doubt that anything larger would enhance passengers' enjoyment, only the operator's profits. But I'm not sure that a 'Captain's Party' (of any description) would have added anything, except perhaps for a chosen few - and how would it be arranged? As it was, he seemed a pleasant enough man who made a point of speaking to passengers during the day as he wandered round. As to Mykanos, rip-off transfers (and excursions generally), enuff said! If the comedian was Rich Ceisler, I agree he might not appeal to all but he did to me!
