I used to work in the shops on board the Oceanic 1983 -1984 before chancing to another ship. I saw one of the officers on the Oceanvillage ship when I won a caribbean cruise in nov 2006

It was strange seeing him after 23 years :rolleyes:

I, too, would love to know when one of those reunions are. I keep in touch with several of the passengers and we'd love to see some of the crew members. Only keep in touch with Spiros who was Greek and was a bartender. Have become good friends with his family.

They dont exist anymore, when I worked on board it was the Jeff Lorriman Orchestra, I think thats how you spell it, did you know them ? :rolleyes:

Hey, it's funny you should mention that about the record album. My grandfather sailed Oceanic out of NY several times in the 70's & early 80's, and he bought all the Donzelli albums, the Sergio and his Band Souvenir Oceanic album, Geno Stante Quartet ... and yes!! I have them all, God rest my papa's loving soul! I can't send you an audio file as an attachment on this site, but if you send me your email, I will send you some Donzelli MP3's ... fresh off the vinyl record! Great stuff -- I like this music way better than any contemporary stuff on the radio today!

Ciao,

Christoff

 

P.S. To anyone else reading this: Does anyone know the whereabouts of Donzelli Group nowadays? There's not much on the internet about this bunch ...

I was a sales assistant on board the Oceanic, I loved every minute of it. I am still in touch with a couple of the girls who worked on board. I dated one of the most handsome officers on board "Daniel" an officer from the bridge. oh boy was he handsome....Handsome just wasnt the word. But as he was Italian it didnt last :( I really do miss Homelines but I did work on other ships after the Oceanic but they just wern't the same.
