NYC-gal

I would have to look for a picture of Mario -- he looked like the singer, Sergio Franchi - he was very handsome. I do have many pictures, will look and try to scan them, that is if I can find them.

I know 1965 was the maiden year for the Oceanic.

Nobody remembers my friend Mario? His name is Mario Cabrio. Oceanic, July 24, 1965.

I think my post is being ignored:confused:

So happy I found this thread. My heart belongs to the Home Lines. I sailed all the ships many times, my first was with the Oceanic -- met the chief pastry chef, his name was Mario -- I actually dated him for 10 years. Every Saturday morning, when the ship would get into NY Harbor, he would call and I would hop into my car and straight to the docks. Sometimes he made me lunch, other times we would go out. We almost got married, but I did not want to live in Italy, and he would not live in the USA. If anyone out there remembers him, please post it here.

I also sailed many times on the Homeric, and also the Doric. I still have never found a ship I like better than the Home Lines.
