    Over 10 years ago, I got credit by sending 2 Circolo di Commandante pictures with 2 different captains. That gave me credit for 3 cruises since I would have had to be a past passenger to get the two photos. I had more Sitmar cruises, but those were the only photos I could find.

     

    My first ever cruise was on the Fairwind in July, 1974--I can't believe it has been 40 years!

    Wow. You were on the Fairwind just a few months after my mom. Do you happen to remember a waiter by the name Pietro Fioretti? I've actually been trying to find him and you're the closest I've found to anyone who was on board at that time.

    Thanks!

    My first cruise was onboard Sitmar's Fairwind in 1974 with my family. It was a small ship with a small number of passengers. The crew was all Italian and the food and service were second to none.

     

    I'm going out on a limb, but you don't happen to remember a crew member named Pietro do you (guessing he would have been in his mid-twenties at that time)? My mom went with her family in April of 1974 and we're trying to find some way of touching base with him. I know. A long shot!

     

    Thanks for any info in advance!

    Our first cruise was June 1967 on the Sunward (NCL?). I have a photo -- I was wearing a nice dress & white gloves!

     

    The next cruise was our first as a family in June 1974 on Sitmar's Fairwind; our DD was 2.5 yrs. They had the first children's program -- a few hours in the morning & in the afternoon & even had a 1.5-2.0 ft. deep pool for the kids! DD adored the whole experience!

     

    They also had the first pizza room at sea! All meals in the DR; a few hamburgers/hot dogs on deck on sea days. There were no balconies, just Inside & some Ocean View. And our friends in CA always came on-board to see us off. We'd met on the Fairsea.

     

    How we all 3 loved Sitmar! We sailed them almost exclusively until Princess bought them in '83-84.

     

    Wow. So close to when my mom was aboard the Fairwind in April of 1974. I think the captain may have been Captain Quartini.

     

    Do you happen to know one of the crew named Pietro Fioretti (possibly Feretti)?

     

    Thanks for any help!
