  1. Hey there :)

    I couldn't believe when I saw your posting! WOW.... check this out:

     

    Well, Feb 1979 I was on the Doric. Dino was a cabin steward at that time also. He must have been a charmer.... because I too, hung out with him. I was only 17 at that time... and yes, he could dance. We went to the disco in Puerto Rico (Leonardo Divinci's). VERY FUN! I thought I was special too... :eek: Just too young to understand I guess. I also have pictures. Oh, and I have a daughter from Feb 1979 cruise ! Just wondering if anyone else may have a son or daughter by Mr. Charmer also. CRAZY ISN'T IT? :confused:

    HE a nice guy email me jeff@globegrinding.com

  2. Wow, Gail, that was some story. Which ship were you on for the hurricane?? My first cruise was on the Doric and we sailed to Bermuda in very stormy waters as well. I remember rocking and rolling on the first night. My girlfriend and I were quite sick after early dinner. The next morning we both dashed to the infirmary for meds and shots...all I remember is a very handsome Italian medic or doctor trying to help me while I was sick into one of those bags :eek: Our room was in the very front of the ship and was rocking so badly the water was sloshing out of the toilet bowl or shower drain...don't know which :confused: . They had to mop up our cabin and the medic told me to stay midship in the lounge which we did. My friend slept most of the day on a couch near the lounge while I decided to go to the movies (just like you) and we saw Superman 2. The doors were roped off and no one could go out on deck (who would want to LOL). You could see the waves splashing up over the railings :eek: .

     

    That evening we felt well enough to attend the first formal night although we didn't eat too much. I'm glad we went though since that was the night I met my husband who happened to be my waiter that night :D ;) . He took very good care of me for the rest of the cruise and we had a blast in Bermuda. Doric was a fun ship, the food was great and the crew was just the best (of course I'm not prejudiced).

     

    I'm still sad about Home Lines going out of business, although I just loved my recent Celebrity Cruise.

    HI I WAS ON THE Doric IN APRIL 1979 I am looking for a guy name Steve . was a bartender in the night club, do you remember him, jeff@globegrinding.com

  3. Home Lines was my introduction to cruising. I sailed on the Doric once and the Atlantic twice. Such memories.............I was in my 20's and oh....those wonderful Italian waiters and Stewards...............
