Captain's Brief

The captain gave a brief during this cruise. I was thoroughly impressed by it. I now know how the bridge operates and who they usually have on the bridge. He also did a Q&a session and someone asked him what were the largest waves he had been in, which was about 2018 when he was on a Carnival ship in almost 40 ft waves between Brisbane and Sydney, AU. Just wow! He told us a little about each of the ports and the distances between them.

Not all captains will give a brief during the cruise so I feel very blessed to have had him come on down and talk to all of us. He did a great job. His English was a little rough but he did his best to get from his native tongue (I believe he is Italian) to English. He was also kind of funny.

It amazes me how much planning goes into these cruises but then again, they have so many people of different nationalities, they almost have to do all they can to make it safe.

I also really thought it was neat that he talked about their training facility in the Netherlands which sees about 30,000 people a year.Baca lagi
