I remember the FLAVIA well!!! :D It was my first cruise and I was 13 years old. That makes it 1970. Wow! :confused: Where does the time go? My parents and I shared an inside cabin on the Capri Deck which was the top row of cabins.:cool:
Does anyone remember the chapel on board? We made friends with the chaplin and he was at our house in Fort Lauderdale several times. He was from Malta.
And I too have the record of the FLAVIA band.:) And the band from the Federico C. And I believe the Carla C as well. You can buy affordable record players these days. Find them online. New ones. The one thing I would like to do is record from the record player to a CD so I could listen in my car.
I became close friends with the deck steward, who later became a room steward, and also a waiter on board. Jack of all trades, I guess. His name was Mario DiBiasi. Does anyone know or remember him? Do I have a memory like a trap or what? He was from Venice and used to stay at our home in Ft. Lauderdale for a week just prior to the FLAVIA resuming service out of Miami from being in drydock in Genoa. Ah! What great memories. It was a magical ship. By today's standards, nothing at all. But in those days, during our youth...it was divine!
